2024 Black Moon
In 2024 , the black moon will be on Monday, December 30, 2024 , because there are two new moons in December. The second new moon in a month is considered a black moon by one definition.
There are four definitions of a black moon, although all are unofficial. Therefore, it is not uncommon for a black moon to appear after a year. It is not possible to get all four in one year.
- A month with two new moons
- A month without a full moon, only a new moon
- A month without a new-moon, only a full moon
- A season of four new moons, making the third seasonal black moon
Since February has either 28 or 29 days, it is the only calendar month that does not necessarily have both a new moon and a full moon in a given year.
