No, the position of the Moon and the Sun as OBSERVED from the Earth.

Which moon phase will usually be seen from earth when the moon is in the position?
full moon

Spring Tides occur during two phases, full and new moon. This is because the moon earth and sun are aligned during both of these phases. It is opposite during neap tide, in which the moon and sun meet at a right angle on earth, which means the moon during neap tide is at the first or third (last) quarter phase. Hope this helped! :)
