Questions about the May 2028 new moon
What sign is the May new moon in?
Gemini, 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 May new moon where I am?
08:19 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 24 May 2028.
When is the next new moon after this one?
22 June 2028, in Cancer. New moons repeat every 29 or 30 days, and the table above lists all of them for 2028.
What should I do on the May 2028 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 08:19 UTC and take a first step inside forty-eight hours, with Gemini setting the tone. Endings belong to the full moon a fortnight later.
