The black moon is given the penultimate day before the entrance of the new moon, it is the phase in which there is no moon in the sky, when the sun does not reflect in the moon, a moment of total darkness. The black moon is the moon of transformation, it is in its natural state, being the shadow. We can meditate on our “shadow”, on thoughts and attitudes that are not very positive and that we must transform.
