black moon
Second monthly new
A black moon is the second new moon within a single calendar month, making it the dark counterpart to a blue moon (the second full moon in a month).
Since new moons are invisible—the moon's illuminated side faces away from Earth—a black moon is essentially a non-event astronomically, though it carries significance in some astrological and pagan traditions.
