Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 4 days on 8 March 2067 at 16:16.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♓ Pisces later.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.5% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1959" and ∠1930".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2067 after 17 days on 30 March 2067 at 20:08.
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 27 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 830 of Meeus index or 1783 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 31 minutes. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2067. It is 24 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 13 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 3 hours and 56 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠18.4°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠37.6°.
Moon is at perigee at 00:40. It is 15 days after previous apogee on 25 February 2067 at 01:39 in ♋ Cancer. Lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the next 11 days, until point of next apogee on 24 March 2067 at 19:49 in ♋ Cancer.
This perigee Moon is 363 617 km (225 941 mi) away from Earth. It is 1 109 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 6 739 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
4 days after ascending node on 9 March 2067 at 05:33 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 22 March 2067 at 03:17 in ♊ Gemini.
4 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
4 days since the previous standstill on 8 March 2067 at 17:24 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.547°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.428° at the point of next northern standstill on 21 March 2067 at 15:43 in ♊ Gemini.
In 1 day on 15 March 2067 at 08:29 in ♓ Pisces the Moon is going to be in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming the next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
