Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 1 day on 30 October 2067 at 01:08.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing about ∠24° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 8.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1768" and ∠1933".
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2067 after 20 days on 20 November 2067 at 23:50.
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 23 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final 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°.
Moon is at apogee at 06:44. It is 11 days after previous perigee on 19 October 2067 at 10:41 in ♓ Pisces. Lunar orbit is going to narrow while the Moon is moving towards the Earth over the next 14 days, until point of next perigee on 14 November 2067 at 16:11 in ♒ Aquarius.
This apogee Moon is 404 504 km (251 347 mi) away from Earth. It is 904 km further than the mean apogee distance, but it is still 2 205 km closer than the farthest apogee of 21st century.
5 days after descending node on 25 October 2067 at 14:38 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 9 November 2067 at 00:25 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 26 October 2067 at 02:13 in ♊ Gemini when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠22.333°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-22.290° at the point of next southern standstill on 9 November 2067 at 11:57 in ♐ Sagittarius.
In 6 days on 7 November 2067 at 00:14 in ♏ Scorpio 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.
