Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon of June 2086 after 15 days on 27 June 2086 at 00:04.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Virgo ♍ on 19 June 2086 at 04:33
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 27 June 2086 at 00:04
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 3 July 2086 at 20:10

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 1069 / 2022
At 11:12 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1069 of Meeus index or 2022 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.45 days
29 days, 10 hours and 50 minutes is the length of new lunation 1069. It is 1 hour and 46 minutes shorter than next lunation 1070 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 54 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 15 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠62.5°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠62.5°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠95.5°. 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°).
Moon after perigee
4 days after point of perigee on 7 June 2086 at 01:37 in ♈ Aries. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 7 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 19 June 2086 at 09:56 in ♎ Libra.
Distance to Moon 379 818 km
Moon is 379 818 km (236 008 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 7 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 212 km (251 166 mi).
Moon after descending node
1 day after its descending node on 10 June 2086 at 21:57 in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 13 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 25 June 2086 at 07:25 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Draconic month
13 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is moving from the middle to the last part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 06:00 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠22.467°. Next 14 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-22.460° in its southern standstill point on 25 June 2086 at 15:51 in ♐ Sagittarius.
Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy
The Moon is in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun on this date and this alignment forms Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.
