A black moon also refers to the new moon phase itself when the moon is positioned between Earth and the sun, making it nearly invisible from our view. The black moon is a new moon in Capricorn, an Earth sign associated with ambition, professional goals, societal structures and authority, according to Thomas.

This lunation marks the second new moon of the month, marking a rare astronomical event that adds extra astronomical significance to our zodiac world

December 2024 will feature a rare Black Moon on December 30 at 5:27 p.m. ET. This second new moon of the month won't be visible, but its lack of moonlight will create ideal conditions for stargazing and viewing distant celestial objects.
