Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 5 days on 8 October 2067 at 09:28.
Moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.
Moon is passing about ∠22° of ♐ Sagittarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 0.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1922" and ∠1924".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2067 after 8 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 5 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the beginning to the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 838 of Meeus index or 1791 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 14 hours and 46 minutes. It is 55 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 2 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 1 minute shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠237.7°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠274.8°.
9 days after point of apogee on 3 October 2067 at 12:21 in ♌ Leo. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 19 October 2067 at 10:41 in ♓ Pisces.
The Moon is 372 932 km (231 729 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 5 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 365 700 km (227 235 mi).
1 day after ascending node on 12 October 2067 at 20:11 in ♐ Sagittarius. The Moon is located north of the ecliptic over the following 12 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from North to South in descending node on 25 October 2067 at 14:38 in ♊ Gemini.
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.
At 06:21 the Moon is meeting its standstill point to reach South declination of ∠-22.403°. Over the next 12 days the lunar orbit is going to extend northward to face maximum declination of ∠22.333° at the point of next standstill in ♊ Gemini on 26 October 2067 at 02:13.
In 8 days on 22 October 2067 at 10:56 in ♈ Aries 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.
