Moon Memos: New Moon ♑️

Your New and Full Moon Pause

🌑 The New Moon: an inward beginning

New Moons are dark; it’s not a party, baby, it’s a time to go a lil’ quiet.

Think of them as conception time, a place where something might be forming, but “it” doesn’t yet have shape, certainty, or language. The best thing you can do is just wait it out; there’s no rushing this time. What’s gonna come is gonna come when its ready. When we push for action or certainty too soon, we risk distorting what’s trying to come into being.

Symbolically, a New Moon is a beginning.

🏔️ What Capricorn adds to this New Moon

Capricorn doesn’t ask us to dream bigger; I know that’s super fun to be dreamy and unhinged…. but with a new moon in Capricorn.

Capricorn asks us to be more honest.

At a Capricorn New Moon, you might notice:

  • Less inspiration, but more clarity

  • Less expansion, but more grounding

This is a moment where structure is supportive, not restrictive.
Boundaries aren’t here to limit you, they’re here help us get clear on what matters

Sometimes we need commitment, patience, and care.

🪐 Saturn, grief, and earned self-trust

As I reflect on 2025 and my own Saturn transit, one question has stayed with me:

What did I learn to keep quiet because it felt too tender to name?

It took me nearly the entire year to name the depth of my grief — the loss of a meaningful friendship and a profound shift in my family structure. I couldn’t speak the disappointment or sadness for a long time because it felt like naming it might deepen the spell.

But Saturn, in its mature expression, doesn’t punish — it teaches earned self-trust.

Through boundaries, patience, and timing, Saturn was a supportive energy as I finally found the courage to name my grief. And naming it gave me a path towards healing and moving forward.

  • The New Moon in Capricorn as a time for careful building

  • Saturn’s role in maturity, boundaries, and healing
