Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 1 day on 15 March 2067 at 08:29.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♈ Aries tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.4% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1901" and ∠1928".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2067 after 14 days on 30 March 2067 at 20:08.
There is medium ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at very acute angle, so their combined tidal force is moderate.
The Moon is 1 day young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 831 of Meeus index or 1784 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 10 hours and 55 minutes. It is 1 hour and 2 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 1 hour and 49 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 20 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠37.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠63.8°.
3 days after point of perigee on 13 March 2067 at 00:40 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 8 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 24 March 2067 at 19:49 in ♋ Cancer.
The Moon is 377 043 km (234 284 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 8 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 668 km (251 449 mi).
7 days after ascending node on 9 March 2067 at 05:33 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 5 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 22 March 2067 at 03:17 in ♊ Gemini.
7 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.
7 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 5 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 14 days on 30 March 2067 at 20:08 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.
