Moon is passing about ∠22° of ♓ Pisces tropical zodiac sector.
Apparent angular diameter
Lunar disc is not visible from Earth. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1873" and ∠1928".
Pink Moon after 15 days
Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2075 after 15 days on 1 April 2075 at 08:45.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 24 March 2075 at 16:45
- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 1 April 2075 at 08:45
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 8 April 2075 at 03:03

Spring tide
There is high New Moon ocean tide on this date. Combined Sun and Moon gravitational tidal force working on Earth is strong, because of the Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
New lunation 930 / 1883
At 19:25 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 930 of Meeus index or 1883 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.56 days
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 13 hours and 31 minutes. It is 56 minutes shorter than the next lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to increasing with the true anomaly getting closer to the value it has at the point of New Moon at apogee (∠180°).
Lunation length longer than mean
The length of the current synodic month is 46 minutes longer than the mean synodic month length. It is 6 hours and 16 minutes shorter compared to 21st century's longest synodic month length.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠76.5°
The true anomaly is ∠76.5°. At the beginning of the next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠113.2°.
Moon after perigee
5 days after point of perigee on 10 March 2075 at 13:32 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting widen, while the Moon is moving away from the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 7 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next apogee on 23 March 2075 at 23:11 in ♊ Gemini.
Distance to Moon 382 740 km
The Moon is 382 740 km (237 824 mi) away from Earth and getting further over the next 7 days until the point apogee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 404 257 km (251 194 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after descending node on 12 March 2075 at 03:46 in ♑ Capricorn. The Moon is located south of the ecliptic over the following 9 days, until the lunar orbit crosses from South to North in ascending node on 26 March 2075 at 01:58 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
17 days since the beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is navigating from the second to the final part of the cycle.
Moon after southern standstill
5 days since the previous standstill on 11 March 2075 at 10:20 in ♑ Capricorn when the Moon has reached South declination of ∠-22.019°, the lunar orbit is extending northward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠22.138° at the point of next northern standstill on 25 March 2075 at 08:07 in ♋ Cancer.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in a New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and thus forming Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy alignment.
