Astrology in 2024 is ending on a high note, with an empowering new moon rising on December 30, just in time to boost your New Year’s resolutions.

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 see a rare "black moon," a term for the second new moon in a calendar month. The second new moon of December will occur at 5:27 p.m. ET (2227 GMT) on Dec. 30, according to the U.S.

As 2024 concludes, the night sky presents a remarkable celestial event: the black moon. This phenomenon, defined as the second new moon in a single calendar month, occurs infrequently and offers a unique opportunity for skywatchers to witness the heavens under ideal stargazing conditions.
