Moon phase and lunation details
7 days after New Moon
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 7 days on 18 March 2064 at 01:45.
Moonrise and moonset
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon in ♊ Gemini
Moon is leaving the last ∠1° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♋ Cancer later.
Apparent angular diameter ∠1873"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.6% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1873" and ∠1923".
Pink Moon after 7 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2064 after 7 days on 1 April 2064 at 17:40.
Upcoming main Moon phases

- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 1 April 2064 at 17:40
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 8 April 2064 at 14:25

Neap tide
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
Lunation 794 / 1747
The Moon is 7 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 794 of Meeus index or 1747 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.72 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 17 hours and 17 minutes. It is 2 hours and 24 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 4 hours and 33 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 30 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠181.6°
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠181.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠206.1°.
Moon before apogee
7 days after point of apogee on 17 March 2064 at 21:10 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 6 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 1 April 2064 at 05:29 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 382 640 km
The Moon is 382 640 km (237 761 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 6 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 357 235 km (221 976 mi).
Moon before descending node
10 days after ascending node on 15 March 2064 at 05:39 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 3 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 29 March 2064 at 11:52 in ♌ Leo.
Draconic month
10 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon at northern standstill
At 03:21 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠27.727°. Over the next 12 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-27.645° at the point of next standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 6 April 2064 at 15:48.
Syzygy in 7 days
In 7 days on 1 April 2064 at 17:40 in ♎ Libra the Moon is going to be in a Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy alignment.
