Next Full Moon is the Pink Moon of April 2094 after 15 days on 1 April 2094 at 00:11.
Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Gemini ♊ on 23 March 2094 at 20:05
- Full Moon in Libra ♎ on 1 April 2094 at 00:11
- Last Quarter in Capricorn ♑ on 8 April 2094 at 08:46

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 1165 / 2118
At 15:44 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1165 of Meeus index or 2118 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.41 days
29 days, 9 hours and 53 minutes is the length of new lunation 1165. This is the year's shortest synodic month of 2094. It is 39 minutes shorter than next lunation 1166 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 2 hours and 51 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 3 hours and 18 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠24.6°
This New Moon true anomaly is ∠24.6°. At beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠45.7°. 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
1 day after point of perigee on 15 March 2094 at 04:25 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 10 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 27 March 2094 at 05:18 in ♌ Leo.
Distance to Moon 367 205 km
Moon is 367 205 km (228 171 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 10 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 405 266 km (251 821 mi).
Moon after descending node
4 days after its descending node on 11 March 2094 at 18:24 in ♑ Capricorn, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 8 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 24 March 2094 at 14:44 in ♋ Cancer.
Draconic month
18 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♋ Cancer, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
Moon after southern standstill
4 days after previous South standstill on 11 March 2094 at 14:07 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-22.707°. Next 8 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠22.815° in the next northern standstill on 24 March 2094 at 12:07 in ♋ Cancer.
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.
