When is the April 2031 new moon?
Monday 21 April 2031, at 16:59 UTC — the moment the Moon and the Sun meet at the same degree of Taurus. Nothing is visible that night, which is why the date is computed rather than observed.
New Moon
The April new moon is exact on Monday, 21 April 2031 at 16:59 UTC, with the Moon and the Sun together in Taurus.
A new moon in Taurus starts things that need to last: a savings rule, a bedtime, a rate you will charge. It does not reward speed, and what begins here tends to show its result a season later. Pick one you would still be doing in six months.

Taurus, the sign the Sun is passing through. A new moon is a conjunction, so the two bodies always share it, and it moves on by one sign each month.
16:59 UTC in Universal Time, which is one instant everywhere. New York runs five hours behind it, Madrid one or two ahead, Buenos Aires three; if it falls close to midnight your local date sits a day either side of 21 April 2031.
21 May 2031, in Gemini. New moons repeat every 29 or 30 days, and the table above lists all of them for 2031.
Start one thing and keep it small enough to survive the week. The usual practice is to write one to three intentions within a day of 16:59 UTC and take a first step inside forty-eight hours, with Taurus setting the tone. Endings belong to the full moon a fortnight later.
