Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 4 days on 22 March 2067 at 18:44.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is leaving the last ∠2° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♍ Virgo later.
Lunar disc appears visually 7.7% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1781" and ∠1922".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2067 after 3 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 11 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle 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°.
2 days after point of apogee on 24 March 2067 at 19:49 in ♋ Cancer. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 9 April 2067 at 05:49 in ♒ Aquarius.
The Moon is 402 519 km (250 114 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 12 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 765 km (229 140 mi).
5 days after descending node on 22 March 2067 at 03:17 in ♊ Gemini. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 8 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 5 April 2067 at 05:55 in ♐ Sagittarius.
18 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
5 days since the previous standstill on 21 March 2067 at 15:43 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠23.428°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-23.296° at the point of next southern standstill on 4 April 2067 at 22:26 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 3 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.
