The New Moon on December 30, 2024, is the second new moon of the month, termed a Black Moon. Fittingly for the name, there are only challenging planetary aspects and no harmonious ones. So, the astrology of the December 2024 Balck Moon indicates hardship and tension caused by limiting structures that make it harder to get ahead.

However, the December 30 New Moon aligns with the dwarf planet Quaoar. It is somewhat like Pluto but more harmonious. It gives a spiritual meaning to the Black Moon in December 2024 by promoting humanitarian and progressive ideas and philosophies to solve the problems caused by greed, selfishness and intolerance.

Black Moon December 2024 Astrology

The new moon on Monday, December 30, 2024, is at 09°43′ Capricorn. Quaqoar is only 0°03′ away, which is a powerful conjunction. The new moon quincunx Jupiter will have some effect, but the most significant impact comes from Mars opposite Pluto and Jupiter square Saturn. Quite a dark combination indeed!

Renewal

Sun conjunct Moon represents cyclic renewal as a new 28-day moon phase begins. You can draw a line under the past, turn over a new leaf, and start fresh. You can also question old habits, behaviors, and beliefs as you search for creative and inventive new ways to grow and prosper.

The monthly alignment of the Sun and Moon reconciles your conscious ego and subconscious feelings to provide balance, focus and perspective. It gives a rejuvenating burst of energy, initiative, and enthusiasm. So, the Black Moon in December 2024 is excellent for defining your priorities and setting ambitious goals.

Yearning

Sun quincunx Jupiter is only a mild influence that may give a yearning or obsession to attain wealth, happiness or fame. However, greed, selfishness, arrogance or boastfulness could bring dissatisfaction, disappointment, insecurity or uncertainty. A reassessment of your goals may be needed. Deciding on only a single goal will make life much easier.

Extremism

Mars opposite Pluto gives intense desires but difficulty in achieving them. The conflict between desires and actions can create inner tension and volatile relationships. You may become competitive, domineering, ruthless, extreme and aggressive. Considerable achievements are possible if you can channel such primal urges into physical or creative work.

However, your actions can make others feel threatened or intimidated. Using ruthless, subversive, immoral, or illegal tactics could bring resistance from powerful enemies. Maintaining high moral standards will increase the likelihood of success. But if you realize your efforts will not succeed now, you can transform your goals and relieve the tension.

Harship

Jupiter square Saturn causes tension from a lack of opportunities, criticism or limiting circumstances. Your judgment may be impaired, lack initiative, or become a slave to routine. Once-stable structures or long-held beliefs may break down, leaving you uncertain and unsure about your future.

A long-term problem with career, relationships, finances or destructive behaviors like addiction may reach a crisis point. Taking responsibility and fixing the problem may be painful, require isolation and cause frustration and uncertainty. However, hard work, determination and patience will lead to new opportunities, positive change, spiritual growth, satisfaction and contentment.

Harmony

Dwarf Planet Quaoar represents long-term cycles and evolutionary change. It reveals the hidden energies and dimensions that link all matter in the universe and how that affects social organization, individual spiritual development, collective mass consciousness and our future.

Quaoar’s most significant influence is achieving harmony by transforming the chaos caused by Mars opposite Pluto and Jupiter square Saturn into order and stability. It encourages you to challenge established conditions in society, politics and business by working within the system rather than fighting it. Quaoar imparts a strong humanitarian influence and promotes activism in social justice, human rights, equality, and the natural environment.

The December 2024 Black Moon conjunct Quaoar could initiate a harmonious revolution against tyranny, oppression, injustice, persecution, fascism, racism, war, sexual abuse and gender discrimination. Historic crimes, especially sexual abuse and human trafficking, will be prosecuted and punished. Treaties and agreements may be established, but others could be broken.

Quaoar also signifies creative talent and expression, especially in literature, poetry, music, film, science and technology. It gives a passion for sharing your thoughts, feelings, philosophies and discoveries through the written or spoken word.

Finally, Quaoar encourages you to take responsibility for family and community, live in harmony with others, the environment and the natural order and rhythms of life, adhere to social and moral codes and repay karmic debts.

New Moon December 2024 Stars

The star map below shows the December 30 new moon in the Constellation of Sagittarius, but in the horoscope above, it is in the Sign of Capricorn. The Sing roughly aligned with the Constellation when it was developed over 2000 years ago. However, the precession of the equinoxes has moved the Constellations about 30 degrees forward since then.

The December 2024 Black Moon does not align with any of the stars used in astrology.

• 09♑43 – New Moon December 2024
• 10♑27 – Lambda Telescopii

A new moon in Sagittarius Constellation gives the highest integrity and morals, widely varied talents and aptitudes, an understanding of philosophy and religion, a dislike of sordid actions and anything coarse or sensual, lofty ideals, an expansive mind and liberal ideas. It makes people good-tempered, ambitious, speculative, outspoken, refined, dignified, frank, benevolent and philanthropic.

Harsh aspects can make people too sporty, extremist, boastful, tactless, rude, crude, lazy, inconsiderate of others, careless over details, exaggerative, exhibitionist, subject to short-lived enthusiasm, garrulous, boisterous, promise more than they can deliver and say the one last cutting remark. Exuberance can lead to extravagance, prejudices, and intense likes and dislikes. ^[1]

Constellation Scutum, Sobieski’s Shield, gives eminence, honor, power, bravery, and an adventurous career. Constellation Telescopium The Telescope gives a keen mind, prophetic abilities, and interest in philosophical, occult or historical subjects. ^[2]

Black Moon December 2024 Meaning

The astrology of the December 2024 Black Moon fits the ominous name because it is a challenging New Moon. The horoscope has no harmonious blue aspects. The most significant aspects are Mars opposite Pluto and Jupiter square Saturn, two of the most difficult aspects to navigate.

Quaoar has a harmonizing influence, but like the other dwarf planets past Neptune, it still has a dark side. This may provide the motivation to take a stand against the established conditions in society, politics and business that make it harder to get by, let alone get ahead.

Quaoar and Constellation Sagittarius encourage the communication of humanitarian and progressive ideas and philosophies to solve the problems caused by greed, selfishness and intolerance.

There is a risk of a financial crisis or stock market crash because Jupiter squares Saturn. Quaoar was also discovered in the middle of the 2002 financial crisis.

Moon Phases

The influence of the December 30 New Moon lasts four weeks up to the January 29 New Moon. The best time for starting new projects is during the two-week waxing moon phase from December 30 to the January 12 Full Moon.
