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.

The Capricorn new moon hits on December 30, 2024, allowing Cancer to manifest blessings in their partnership sector. Love feels inspiring. By hitting the emotional reset button, this zodiac is ready to set new intentions and commit deeper to their interpersonal growth.

The last new moon of the year begins on December 30 — less than 36 hours before the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve — and is closing out astrology for 2024 with an explosion of power.
