The Black Moon of August 2025 will bring huge shifts in September. While 6 zodiac signs will be blessed by Saturn, the planet of karma spells troubles for the other 6, according to Vedic astrology. Check your Black Moon horoscope here, based on your zodiac signs!
What is a Black Moon?
A Black Moon is the second New Moon in a calendar month (like a “Blue Moon,” but with new moons) and the third New Moon in a season (of three months) with four new moons, instead of the usual three.
A Black Moon is believed to be an amplified new moon, symbolizing a time of powerful new beginnings, successful manifestations and spell work, and significant transformations.
When is the Black Moon?
The August New Moon on the 23rd which falls on Saturday is the dark night of the Black Moon, dedicated to Saturn (Shani), the planet of justice, discipline, karma, delays, and trials, as per Vedic astrology or Jyotish.
It is also known as the Shani Amavasya. So, Shani Amavasya is the New Moon day (Amavasya) that falls on a Saturday (Shanivar). This rare lunation usually happens once or twice a year.
The austere Saturn is both revered and feared in Jyotish. It is believed to be the planetary lord that can bring both great abundance and significant misfortune to individuals, according to their karma. Saturn appreciates hard work, discipline, humility, and perseverance, and can give rewards beyond imagination for one’s consistent efforts, especially during challenging times.
The Black Moon of Saturn is believed to be an especially powerful cosmic event that can bring a remarkable shift in destiny in both good and bad ways.
Saturn Retrograde and the Black Moon
Adding to this intensity, Saturn has been in retrograde since 13 July and currently it is retrograding in the zodiac sign of Pisces. Saturn retrograde brings a time of review, inner work, and restructuring.
Saturn retrograde in Pisces will create difficulties and challenges for some, but will also bring opportunities for others. This planetary transition intensifies karma, making it a period of tests, reflections, and unexpected results.
By the time the Black Moon of Saturn or Shani Amavasya occurs, this celestial impact will become even more heavy and intense. Depending on Saturn’s position in your natal or birth chart, you might feel this energy more or less than others.
However, for everyone, the Shani Amavasya or the Black Moon of Saturn will set the tone for a memorable month in September. Check out your Black Moon horoscope now!

Black Moon Horoscope According to Vedic Astrology: What Big Changes Will Saturn Bring To You in September?
Here’s what you can expect in September due to the influence of Saturn’s August New Moon, according to Vedic astrology:
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Under the influence of Saturn’s new moon you might experience restlessness, troubled sleeping, and a sudden increase in your expenses. Insecurities and fears can cloud your judgment. Practicing reflection, reducing late-night screen time, taking long walks, spending time in nature can help you balance the unfavorable impact of the Saturn Black Moon.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
For you, the lunation will bring recognition for your hard work done in the past. Growth in career, long-term success, and financial opportunities are likely to show up. Embracing a healthy lifestyle, financial planning, healthy eating, and an organized routine will help you gain Saturn’s favor.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
August’s New Moon is favoring your communication and networking projects. You will reap good results through self-expression, learning, broadcasting, publishing, writing, and collaborations. Long-lasting connections and profitable opportunities are likely to come. A daily habit of reading and journaling will help you focus your energy and enjoy the blessings of Saturn.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
For you, Saturn retrograding in Pisces and its lunation will bring good luck in finances and relationships. Financial opportunities in the form of long awaited return on investments, savings, inheritance, additional incomes, and such can be seen on the horizon. On the relationship front you will feel more secure, stable, and confident. By practicing self-love, setting healthy boundaries, and prioritizing financial well-being, you can enjoy a rewarding September.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Sudden life changes and health scares can trouble you in September. Shani new moon can bring mood swings, irritability, digestion problems, or fatigue. Remedies such as an exercise routine, proper sleep schedule, and healthy eating habits can minimize the influence of Saturn’s August New Moon. Practice self-care, self-restraint, and humility and avoid impulsivity to navigate this challenging period with grace.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
You might see unnecessary tensions building up in your personal and professional relationships due to the Black Moon. You might fixate a lot on a partner’s (romantic or business) perceived flaws. Saturn retrograde will ask you to re-examine your expectations and release any rigid idea or limited belief. Simple adjustments like listening to others intently and healthy compromising will help you a lot. Instead of scrutinizing, focusing on shared goals and responsibilities, joint finances, and cooperation will help you to reduce conflict. At work, showing patience during business deals and maintaining a clear channel of communication will do wonders for you.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Saturn retrograde casts its influence on your health and work. Neglecting wellness could bring back old issues, so balance is key. Poor work ethics can tarnish your image at the workplace. Consistent meals, proper hydration, and regular movement such as yoga or brisk walks are recommended for you. In the workplace, staying away from gossip and keeping the focus on productivity will protect your image. Saturn rewards discipline, so simple habits like morning stretches, mindful eating, and limiting screen time can make a big difference.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Long-term plans and career opportunities will bring good fortune for you in September. You can get reward and recognition, promotion, raise, or profitable business opportunities in this month. To maximize your blessings, adopt a calm demeanor, consistent work schedule, and immaculate work ethics. Saturn will reward your past efforts if you show resilience and undertake responsibility.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Saturn’s Black Moon highlights your home and emotional foundations. Family matters, property concerns, or domestic stress may feel heavier than usual. Small steps like decluttering, enjoying hobbies, or meditating can help you create an inner steadiness. Quality conversations, where listening takes priority over debate, will help avoid unnecessary friction and bring harmony at home.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
You are ruled by Saturn. So, a new moon during Saturn retrograde brings a time for alignment between your inner and outer reality. Sudden breakthroughs are on the cards. If things are stuck or delayed, they will be transformed into surprising opportunities. Welcoming simplicity and structure in your daily life will advance your prospects. Start a fitness routine, wake up early in the morning, and set clear goals for your personal and professional life to align yourself with Saturn’s energy and gain a sense of purpose, power, and control.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
The Black Moon during Saturn retrograde impacts your finances and close family connections. Conversations may unintentionally sound sharp, causing misunderstandings. Money may also feel delayed or restricted. You can ease the pressure through thoughtful communication, choosing words carefully and listening with patience. Financially, a practical budget and avoiding impulsive spending will prove valuable. Practicing moderation, gratitude journaling, or quiet reflection can keep your energy centered on what truly matters.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
As Saturn retrogrades through your sign, September will bring both guidance and lessons for you. You will gain a clearer direction, empowered self-awareness, and strong connections which will contribute to your growth. You will find yourself easily overcoming challenges that once felt insurmountable. You can amplify this favorable influence of Saturn by practicing daily meditation, writing down your goals, and balancing your creative energy with discipline.
