Gibbous ♍ Virgo
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 4 days on 17 March 2054 at 01:21.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing first ∠1° of ♍ Virgo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 2.1% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1966" and ∠1926".
Next Full Moon is the Worm Moon of March 2054 after 2 days on 23 March 2054 at 17:21.
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 12 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 670 of Meeus index or 1623 from Brown series.
Length of current 670 lunation is 29 days, 15 hours and 47 minutes. It is 3 hours and 19 minutes longer than next lunation 671 length.
Length of current synodic month is 3 hours and 3 minutes longer than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours shorter, compared to 21st century longest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠220.6°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠254.3°. 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 is reaching point of perigee on this date at 14:11, this is 15 days after last apogee on 5 March 2054 at 16:18 in ♑ Capricorn. Lunar orbit is starting to get wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth for 11 days ahead, until it will get to the point of next apogee on 2 April 2054 at 10:08 in ♒ Aquarius.
This perigee Moon is 362 830 km (225 452 mi) away from Earth. It is 322 km closer than the mean perigee distance, but it is still 7 526 km farther than the closest perigee of 21st century.
Moon is in ascending node in ♍ Virgo at 22:53 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from South to North. Moon will follow the northern part of its orbit for the next 14 days to meet descending node on 4 April 2054 at 20:01 in ♓ Pisces.
At 22:53 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
3 days after previous North standstill on 17 March 2054 at 17:30 in ♊ Gemini, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠18.685°. Next 9 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-18.738° in the next southern standstill on 30 March 2054 at 17:00 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 2 days on 23 March 2054 at 17:21 in ♍ Virgo, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.
