Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 2 days on 6 January 2065 at 19:15.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠23° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 6.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1829" and ∠1951".
Next Full Moon is the Wolf Moon of January 2065 after 12 days on 22 January 2065 at 09:53.
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.
The Moon is 3 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 804 of Meeus index or 1757 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 47 minutes. It is 1 hour and 26 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 3 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠57.9°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠92.7°.
6 days after point of perigee on 2 January 2065 at 20:34 in ♏ Scorpio. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 14 January 2065 at 21:51 in ♈ Aries.
The Moon is 391 802 km (243 454 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 429 km (251 301 mi).
1 day after ascending node on 8 January 2065 at 05:38 in ♒ Aquarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 13 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 22 January 2065 at 16:09 in ♋ Cancer.
1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 5 January 2065 at 00:25 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.815°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 9 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.834° at the point of next northern standstill on 19 January 2065 at 06:26 in ♊ Gemini.
In 12 days on 22 January 2065 at 09:53 in ♌ Leo 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.
