What is a black moon and how was it formed?
A blue moon occurs when there are two full moons in a month. A Black Moon, on the other hand, is the opposite of a Blue Moon and marks the arrival of a second New Moon within a month.
Also, an extra full moon in the season is known as a ‘black moon’. Because the seasons on Earth usually last for three months and include three new moons.
Over time and date, the term is often used to refer to many new moon-related phenomena, such as:
- Second New Moon in the same month
- The third new moon in a season of four new moons
- February has no new moon
- February has no full moon

When, where and how to see the black moon?
This year’s Black Moon will occur on May 19, 2023, according to the seasonal definition of a celestial event. A New Moon marks the period when the side of the Moon facing the Earth is completely covered by darkness, unlike the Full Moon which covers the entire surface of the Moon with sunlight. Due to the lack of strong light, the Black Moon is barely visible.
However, it is a great opportunity for star observers to see constellations, stars, clusters and other celestial bodies.
When will the next Black Moon be?
The fact that Black Moons are relatively rare events means that Earth hasn’t even recorded many of them yet. And after today, the next Black Moon will occur on December 30, 2024, which is defined as the second New Moon of the calendar month.

What is the meaning of Black Moon?
According to Yoga Journal, “Moonless nights are considered a time of inward focus, quiet reflection, and intention-setting. The Black Moon brings an extra dose of this cosmic regimen. If the New Moon sows the seeds of intention and inspiration, the Black Moon will bring those intentions together.”
And for pagans, black moons are especially important as they are believed to increase the power of certain actions when performed on the night of the black moon.
A special black moon will be followed by major lunar events. Astronomy enthusiasts should be prepared to witness strawberry moon, bucket moon, micro new moon, super blue moon, harvest moon, hunter moon, cold moon and more so again.
