May 2030 new moon: Thursday 2 May in Taurus
The May new moon is exact on Thursday, 2 May 2030 at 14:14 UTC, with the Moon and the Sun together in Taurus.
Meaning
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.

Questions about the May 2030 new moon
What sign is the May new moon in?
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.
What time is the May new moon where I am?
14:14 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 2 May 2030.
When is the next new moon after this one?
1 June 2030, in Gemini. New moons repeat every 29 or 30 days, and the table above lists all of them for 2030.
What should I do on the May 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 14:14 UTC and take a first step inside forty-eight hours, with Taurus setting the tone. Endings belong to the full moon a fortnight later.
