This Moon Memo offers a gentle pause for the New Moon in Capricorn, on January 18th. It's a moment for beginnings that don’t need to be rushed or fully defined yet. Capricorn invites us into clarity without fantasy, asking what we’re willing to build slowly, with care and honesty. Through a short visualization, we explore commitment as something embodied and earned, not forced or performative. I also share personal reflections on Saturn, grief, and the nervous system wisdom of naming what has been too tender to speak. This episode is an invitation to trust the pace of your becoming and to honor what’s forming beneath the surface.Book: "Healing Pluto Problems" by Donna Cummingham

Welcome back, beautiful friends. This episode of Moon Memos: Your New & Full Moon Pause is a deep, velvety plunge into the psyche of the Scorpio New Moon a moment of darkness, initiation, and honest beginnings. This is the inhale before the exhale, the quiet before the spark returns, the fertile void where you can finally tell the truth to yourself without flinching.In this episode, Coco (hi, it’s me) guides you through the textures, imagery, and emotional landscape that shape the Scorpio archetype not as something frightening or dramatic, but as a season of exquisite honesty. Expect descriptions like lace and dark ink, metallic glints, snakeskin, velvet, and damp soil. Expect moons and shadows, eyes and storms, phoenixes and rebirth. Expect words like release, alchemy, surrender, wild devotion, and the kind of truth that rearranges you from the inside out.To help you feel this New Moon, we explore the mood of Scorpio through the hauntingly poignant lyrics of Arcade Fire’s “Year of the Snake.” The line “If you feel strange, it’s probably good,” becomes a mantra for this episode a reminder that change often feels unfamiliar, raw, or destabilizing.

Don’t do what you should.And because this community continues to grow in such beautiful ways, you’ll also hear a little life update.
