The Moon is 21 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 831 of Meeus index or 1784 from Brown series.

Synodic month length 29.45 days

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°).

Lunation length shorter than mean

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.

Lunar orbit position on

True anomaly ∠37.6°

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°.

Moon before apogee

12 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 2 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 9 April 2067 at 05:49 in ♒ Aquarius.

Distance to Moon 364 452 km

The Moon is 364 452 km (226 460 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 2 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 368 765 km (229 140 mi).

Moon after ascending node

1 day after ascending node on 5 April 2067 at 05:55 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 11 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 18 April 2067 at 06:40 in ♊ Gemini.

Draconic month

1 day since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the cycle.

Moon after southern standstill

1 day since the previous standstill on 4 April 2067 at 22:26 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.296°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 11 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.205° at the point of next northern standstill on 17 April 2067 at 23:59 in ♊ Gemini.

Syzygy in 7 days

In 7 days on 13 April 2067 at 19:23 in ♈ Aries 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.
