When is the May 2029 new moon?
Sunday 13 May 2029, at 13:45 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 May new moon is exact on Sunday, 13 May 2029 at 13:45 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.

Dates are Universal Time (UT). A station close to midnight can fall on the previous day in the Americas and on the next day in Europe.

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.
13:45 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 13 May 2029.
12 June 2029, in Gemini. New moons repeat every 29 or 30 days, and the table above lists all of them for 2029.
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 13:45 UTC and take a first step inside forty-eight hours, with Taurus setting the tone. Endings belong to the full moon a fortnight later.
