Upcoming main Moon phases
- First Quarter in Libra ♎ on 25 June 2099 at 12:00
- Full Moon in Capricorn ♑ on 2 July 2099 at 14:21
- Last Quarter in Aries ♈ on 10 July 2099 at 15:13

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 1230 / 2183
At 16:10 on this date the Moon completes the old and enters a new synodic month with lunation 1230 of Meeus index or 2183 from Brown series.
Synodic month length 29.37 days
29 days, 8 hours and 51 minutes is the length of new lunation 1230. It is 57 minutes longer than next lunation 1231 length.
Lunation length shorter than mean
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 53 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 2 hours and 16 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
Lunar orbit position on
True anomaly ∠294.6°
This lunation true anomaly is ∠294.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠320.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
Moon before perigee
7 days after point of apogee on 10 June 2099 at 21:17 in ♓ Pisces. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 4 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 23 June 2099 at 09:41 in ♍ Virgo.
Distance to Moon 381 432 km
Moon is 381 432 km (237 011 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 4 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 368 734 km (229 121 mi).
Moon after ascending node
6 days after its ascending node on 11 June 2099 at 21:49 in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is following the northern part of its orbit for the next 6 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from North to South in descending node on 25 June 2099 at 06:00 in ♎ Libra.
Draconic month
6 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♓ Pisces, the Moon is moving from the beginning to the first part of it.
Moon in northern standstill
At 20:43 on this date the Moon is meeting its North standstill point, when it will reach northern declination of ∠28.404°. Next 13 days the lunar orbit will move in opposite southward direction to face South declination of ∠-28.409° in its southern standstill point on 1 July 2099 at 18:12 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.
