July 2030 new moon: Tuesday 30 July in Leo

The July new moon is exact on Tuesday, 30 July 2030 at 11:13 UTC, with the Moon and the Sun together in Leo.

Meaning

A new moon in Leo starts the thing you would do for the pleasure of it: the class, the instrument, the project with your own name on it. It asks for one piece of visible output rather than preparation, so publish the rough version and let the polish come later.

Rituals

  • Set 1–3 intentions you can act on within 48 hours
  • Clear digital or physical clutter in one small area
  • Light a candle and name what you are calling in

Journal prompts

  • What do I want to begin without needing instant proof?
  • Which habit would change everything if I stayed consistent?
  • What would feel like self-respect this week?

Questions about the July 2030 new moon

When is the July 2030 new moon?

Tuesday 30 July 2030, at 11:13 UTC — the moment the Moon and the Sun meet at the same degree of Leo. Nothing is visible that night, which is why the date is computed rather than observed.

What sign is the July new moon in?

Leo, 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 July new moon where I am?

11:13 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 30 July 2030.

When is the next new moon after this one?

28 August 2030, in Virgo. New moons repeat every 29 or 30 days, and the table above lists all of them for 2030.

What should I do on the July 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 11:13 UTC and take a first step inside forty-eight hours, with Leo setting the tone. Endings belong to the full moon a fortnight later.
