I see a lot of charts listing the apogee and perigee dates, but a graph is the best way to visuallize the Moon's elliptical orbit around the Earth over the course of a year. Note that the closest approaches to Earth occur in April and October. The "farthest" perigee occurs at the end of June.
The next perigee is tomorrow; one day before Full Moon.
