     In Astrology, the black moon is called "Lilith."  That should give
you some clues right off the bat.  There have been two entities called
the "black moon" in astrology.  One was supposed to be an actual satellite
of the earth that was too dark to be seen except as it transited stars.  This,
of course, was disproven long ago.  Some astrologers still use the ephemeris
for this black moon, claiming that it is an "ethereal" rather than a physical
planet.  Another entity referred to as "lilith" is the moon's perigee (point
where the Moon is closest to earth).  Like caput and cauda draconis, this is
a virtual or mathematical point with no physical referent.  If you need to
know, I can probably find the location of either one for you for a given
date.  What were you reading, If I may ask, that talked about Lilith?
