Saturday Puzzle-Contest: The Black Moon
Saturday, August 23rd, 2025

Tonight is special to astronomers and those who follow the moon cycles for certain rituals. Tonight’s a Black Moon. It’s a rare-ish event—a 2nd new moon in the same month.

A new moon is always a time for restarts/resets. A time to grow or sluff off the old for the new. When it’s a black new moon, it’s super-charged with mystical energy.

How can you try to harness it? Stand outside to soak up the darkness. Prepare a Black Moon essential oil or moon water and set it outdoors to “soak up” the energy. Perform a ritual where you burn a paper or a bay leaf outside with a written intention for what you want to throw off and manifest anew. I’ll be preparing moon water and burning a cutout of a handprint with my wish for continuing recovery.

 For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, solve the puzzle, then tell me whether you want to participate in a renewal ceremony of your own tonight!

    I wonder if repotting my cutting celery tonight would promote expedited growth.
