Questions about the January 2030 new moon
What sign is the January new moon in?
Capricorn, 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.
What time is the January new moon where I am?
02:51 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 4 January 2030.
When is the next new moon after this one?
2 February 2030, in Aquarius. New moons repeat every 29 or 30 days, and the table above lists all of them for 2030.
What should I do on the January 2030 new moon?
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 02:51 UTC and take a first step inside forty-eight hours, with Capricorn setting the tone. Endings belong to the full moon a fortnight later.
