Spiritual meaning and significance of Black Moon Solar Eclipse explored

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the Black Moon is also called the New Moon. It occurs when the sun can only illuminate a part of the moon that cannot be visible from Earth. Some sources state that in ancient times, people would plant their seeds for harvest under the new moon, when the sky was at its darkest. When the moon is invisible in the sky, it is believed to be much harder for critters to discover the newly planted seeds.

The Black Moon eclipse is believed to bring a lot of security, comfort and protection in one’s lives. It is traditionally said that initiating a plan or planting new seeds must be done in the dark and in one’s mind before creating it in the physical world.

Sources claim that when one takes steps towards their dreams, goals and intentions under a black moon, they are the most receptive to initiate their plans.

The New Moon Eclipse is reportedly in Taurus. Those born under the zodiac sign can expect a deep push into their values. Taureans are provided with a sense of purpose, self-esteem and the ability to make the intangible tangible during this phase of the moon.

According to Elite Daily, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius are expected to be the most affected from this year’s new moon eclipse. Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces are expected to be affected the least.
