Introduction:
As the last New Moon of 2024, the Black New Moon in Capricorn rising on December 30th at 5:26 p.m. ET, just days before the New Year, presents an extraordinary opportunity for grounding, manifesting, and setting intentions. This Moon phase aligns with Moon Monday and the Throat Chakra, inviting us to speak with sincerity and align with Maat’s Law of truth and balance. As a homeschooling mom and Positive Inner-G coach, I find this time perfect for teaching my family and myself how to nurture stability and control while releasing the tension of a busy year.
Let’s embrace the energy of this rare and powerful Moon phase as we reflect on Capricorn’s enduring spirit and invite meaningful work, productivity, and emotional security into our lives.
Lunar Insights and Planetary Alignments
The Black New Moon, being the second New Moon of December, symbolizes amplified energy for new beginnings and intentions. Capricorn, ruled by Saturn, encourages us to build a strong foundation for the future. However, Capricorns’ natural emotional restraint can lead to physical and emotional imbalances like dehydration, fatigue, and depression. This New Moon invites us to nurture our emotional health while finding joy in productive and meaningful pursuits.
Astrological Highlights:
- Saturn in Pisces (Direct): Encourages optimism and flexibility in our plans.
- Mars Opposing Pluto (Retrograde in Leo): Watch for competitive streaks and unproductive grudges. Release what no longer serves you.
- Jupiter Square Saturn: A sense of restriction may arise, pushing us to break free and redefine our goals.

Reflective Questions:
- What long-term intentions can I plant under this rare and powerful Black Moon?
- How can I create emotional security through meaningful work and productivity?
