Next Full Moon is the Cold Moon of December 2071 after 7 days on 7 December 2071 at 06:57.

The Moon is 7 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving through the first part of current synodic month. This is lunation 889 of Meeus index or 1842 from Brown series.
Length of current 889 lunation is 29 days, 16 hours and 47 minutes. It is 2 hours and 1 minute shorter than next lunation 890 length.
Length of current synodic month is 4 hours and 3 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠102.9°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠138.1°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep increasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of apogee (∠180°).
1 day after point of apogee on 27 November 2071 at 16:12 in ♒ Aquarius. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 9 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 9 December 2071 at 10:47 in ♋ Cancer.

5 days after previous South standstill on 24 November 2071 at 07:52 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-18.413°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠18.456° in the next northern standstill on 8 December 2071 at 10:00 in ♋ Cancer.
After 7 days on 7 December 2071 at 06:57 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
