Waxing Crescent on . The illuminated surface of the moon is 34% and growing larger. The lunar cycle is 6 days young.
The moon rises in the morning and sets in the evening. It is visible toward the southwest in early evening.

Main moon phases of the following lunar cycle.
Moon is passing first ∠4° of ♑ Capricorn tropical zodiac sector.
Previous main lunar phase is the New Moon before 5 days on 9 October 2075 at 23:43.
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2075 after 8 days on 23 October 2075 at 22:49.
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.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.3% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1970" and ∠1925".
The Moon is 6 days young and navigating from the beginning to the first part of the current synodic month. This is lunation 937 of Meeus index or 1890 from Brown series.
The length of this lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 52 minutes and it is 24 minutes longer than the upcoming lunation's length. The lengths of the following synodic months are going to decrease with the lunar orbit 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 52 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 5 hours and 17 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
The true anomaly of the Moon orbit at the beginning of this lunation cycle is ∠287.7° and at the beginning of the next lunar synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠316.5°.
Moon is at perigee at 14:24 about 12 days since last apogee on 2 October 2075 at 14:34 in ♋ Cancer the lunar orbit is going to widen while the Moon is moving away from the Earth over the upcoming 14 days until point of next apogee on 30 October 2075 at 10:53 in ♋ Cancer.
This perigee Moon is 369 756 km (229 756 mi) away from Earth. It is 7 248 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 600 km further than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon is in descending node in ♑ Capricorn at 20:11 crossing the ecliptic from North to South. Lunar position remains south of if for the upcoming 13 days until Moon's next ascending node later on 29 October 2075 at 07:44 in ♋ Cancer.
13 days since the last northern standstill on 2 October 2075 at 08:38 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠23.070° the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next day to face maximum declination of ∠-23.206° at the point of next southern standstill on 16 October 2075 at 01:17 in ♑ Capricorn.
13 days since the beginning of this draconic month in ♋ Cancer the Moon is navigating from the middle to the last part of the lunar cycle.
In 8 days on 23 October 2075 at 22:49 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.
