with these oscillations growing smaller over time as the moon moves further from Earth and energy is dissipated through tides. The moon’s current five-degree tilt of the ecliptic plane is an expression of that continued oscillation.This story shows how the formation of the moon is tied up with the Earth’s current axial tilt, which is responsible for climate-moderating seasons on this planet.
The Solstice Full Moon energy is very strong right now. They Moon and Solstice are tied together.

This is tied to life on Earth as well.

that internal friction due to tidal tugs by Earth should have greatly decreased the Moon’s orbital tilt over billions of years. Ćuk and Stewart quickly realized a clear implication that the orbit of the Moon once had a large tilt to Earth’s orbit, changing the story of its history completely.
“We’ve been calculating the past orbit of the Moon wrong for over fifty years now,” notes Ćuk citing the work of then-doctoral student Chen. “We ignored the fact that tidal flexing within the Moon can decrease lunar orbital inclination.”
Once the Earth had lost enough of its original spin, the Moon broke out of this stalled state and continued its outward journey. But as the Moon left this special distance, its torque on Earth’s spin axis righted the previously highly-tilted Earth. Finally, as the Moon continued its orbital migration outward, tidal flexing within the Moon shrank its orbital inclination, bringing the lunar orbit closer to the plane of the planets
