Previous main lunar phase is the Full Moon before 5 days on 23 September 2067 at 00:54.
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.
Moon is passing about ∠16° of ♊ Gemini tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 4.8% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1826" and ∠1915".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2067 after 23 days on 22 October 2067 at 10:56.
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 20 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the middle to the last part of current synodic month. This is lunation 837 of Meeus index or 1790 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 19 minutes. It is 33 minutes longer than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decreasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
The length of the current synodic month is 2 hours and 35 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 4 hours and 28 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠207.1°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠237.7°.
7 days after point of perigee on 21 September 2067 at 11:31 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 3 October 2067 at 12:21 in ♌ Leo.
The Moon is 392 642 km (243 976 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 5 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 405 262 km (251 818 mi).
Moon is in descending node in ♊ Gemini at 09:08 crossing the ecliptic from North to South to meet ascending node 14 days later on 12 October 2067 at 20:11 in ♐ Sagittarius.
12 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is navigating from the middle to the last part of the cycle.
At 17:33 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach North declination of ∠22.519°. Over the next 14 days the lunar orbit is going to extend southward to face maximum declination of ∠-22.403° at the point of next standstill in ♐ Sagittarius on 13 October 2067 at 06:21.
In 9 days on 8 October 2067 at 09:28 in ♎ Libra 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.
