Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 1 day on 4 November 2091 at 10:27.
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 leaving the last ∠4° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector and will enter ♍ Virgo later.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.9% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1900" and ∠1936".
Next Full Moon is the Beaver Moon of November 2091 after 20 days on 26 November 2091 at 03:43.
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 1135 of Meeus index or 2088 from Brown series.
The length of the lunation is 29 days, 9 hours and 13 minutes. It is 59 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°).
The length of the current synodic month is 3 hours and 31 minutes shorter than the mean synodic month length. It is 2 hours and 38 minutes longer compared to 21st century's shortest synodic month length.
At the beginning of the lunation cycle the true anomaly is ∠349.5°. At the beginning of next synodic month the true anomaly is going to be ∠4.7°.
8 days after point of apogee on 27 October 2091 at 22:34 in ♉ Taurus. The lunar orbit is getting narrow, while the Moon is moving towards the Earth. It will keep this direction over the next 5 days, until the Moon reaches the point of next perigee on 10 November 2091 at 21:06 in ♏ Scorpio.
The Moon is 377 310 km (234 450 mi) away from Earth and getting closer over the next 5 days until the point perigee when Earth-Moon distance is going to be 356 866 km (221 746 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♌ Leo at 17:50 crossing the ecliptic from South to North to meet descending node 12 days later on 18 November 2091 at 04:24 in ♒ Aquarius.
At 17:50 the Moon completes the previous draconic month and enters the new one.
3 days since the previous standstill on 1 November 2091 at 15:30 in ♋ Cancer when the Moon has reached North declination of ∠19.224°, the lunar orbit is extending southward over the next 8 days to face maximum declination of ∠-19.311° at the point of next southern standstill on 14 November 2091 at 09:21 in ♑ Capricorn.
In 5 days on 11 November 2091 at 03:42 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.
