Moon is passing about ∠15° of ♏ Scorpio tropical zodiac sector.
It is Flower Moon
The Full Moon these days is the Flower of May 2066.
Spring tide

Apparent angular diameter ∠1951"
Lunar disc appears visually 2.6% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1951" and ∠1900".
Lunation 820 / 1773
The Moon is 14 days old and navigating through the middle part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 820 of Meeus index or 1773 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 9 minutes and it is 28 minutes shorter than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increase with the lunar orbit true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 25 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 38 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit details for
True anomaly ∠132.1°
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠132.1° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠160.1°.
Moon before perigee
10 days since point of apogee on 28 April 2066 at 19:52 in ♊ Gemini the lunar orbit is getting narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next day until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 11 May 2066 at 01:15 in ♐ Sagittarius.
The Moon is 367 410 km(228 298 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next day until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 359 581 km(223 433 mi).
Moon before ascending node
9 days after descending node on 30 April 2066 at 00:48 in ♋ Cancer the Moon is positioned south of the ecliptic over the following 3 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from South to North in ascending node on 13 May 2066 at 03:46 in ♑ Capricorn.
11 days since the last northern standstill on 28 April 2066 at 05:54 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠24.799° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 2 days to face maximum declination of ∠-24.755° at the point of next southern standstill on 11 May 2066 at 18:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.
