Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2065 after 15 days on 20 April 2065 at 18:36.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Cancer ♋ on 13 April 2065 at 22:38
- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 20 April 2065 at 18:36
- Last Quarter in Aquarius ♒ on 27 April 2065 at 11:02

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 807 / 1760
At 19:01 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 807 of Meeus index or 1760 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.69 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 29 minutes. It is 55 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 3 hours and 45 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 18 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠159.2°
The true anomaly is ∠159.2°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠183°.
Moon before perigee
12 days after point of perigee on 23 March 2065 at 16:36 in ♎ Libra. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 8 April 2065 at 00:30 in ♉ Taurus.
Distance to Moon 403 174 km
The Moon is 403 174 km (250 521 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 2 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 389 km (252 518 mi).
Moon after ascending node
5 days after ascending node on 30 March 2065 at 22:27 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 14 April 2065 at 13:32 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
5 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
Moon before northern standstill
8 days since the previous standstill on 27 March 2065 at 18:51 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-26.548°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 5 days to face maximum declination of ∠26.411° at the point of next northern standstill on 11 April 2065 at 06:32 in ♊ Gemini.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
