Waning Gibbous on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 74% and getting smaller. The lunar cycle is 19 days old.
The moon rises in the evening and sets in the morning. It is visible to the southwest and it is high in the sky after midnight.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing about ∠11° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 4 days on 27 June 2067 at 02:52.
Next Full Moon is the Buck Moon of July 2067 after 24 days on 26 July 2067 at 09:58.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 3.7% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1959" and ∠1887".
The Moon is 19 days old and navigating from the middle to the last part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 834 of Meeus index or 1787 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 35 minutes and it is 45 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 1 hour and 51 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 12 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠132.6° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠159.9°.
3 days since point of perigee on 28 June 2067 at 09:11 in ♑ Capricorn the lunar orbit is getting widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 12 days until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 13 July 2067 at 14:29 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 365 909 km (227 365 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 12 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 406 361 km (252 501 mi).
5 days after ascending node on 26 June 2067 at 02:38 in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is positioned north of the ecliptic over the following 7 days until the lunar crosses the ecliptic again from North to South in descending node on 9 July 2067 at 01:59 in ♊ Gemini.
5 days since the last southern standstill on 25 June 2067 at 22:32 in ♐ Sagittarius when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-23.109° the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 7 days to face maximum declination of ∠23.104° at the point of next northern standstill on 8 July 2067 at 21:14 in ♊ Gemini.
5 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius the Moon is navigating from the beginning to the first part of the lunar cycle.
In 9 days on 11 July 2067 at 11:16 in ♋ Cancer 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.
