Depending on your location, today, November 19, or tomorrow, November 20, is the New Moon in Scorpio!

A new moon is the lunar phase when the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making it appear dark from Earth because the illuminated side is facing away from us. It marks the beginning of the lunar cycle and is also when the greatest difference between high and low tides, known as spring tides, occurs due to the combined gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon. A few hours before this new moon, the Moon will be at its farthest distance from Earth for the next 18 years.

Tonight, when the Moon peaks at 10:47 p.m., you won't see the Moon from the Northern Hemisphere, but she will still have a profound influence over us, today and over the next several days.

This new moon in Scorpio is an opportunity to undergo a "death and rebirth" process, shedding old habits, attachments, or beliefs that hinder your growth. It encourages you to face and understand the emotions you've been avoiding or repressing, leading to deeper self-awareness. As with any new moon, it's an ideal time for manifestation practices, especially those focused on healing, emotional liberation, and regenerative growth.

How to work with the New Moon energy:
This lunation can bring hidden truths to the surface, helping you discover your deepest desires and motivations.

Engage in quiet contemplation to understand your motives, fears, and needs. Practice letting go of what no longer serves you, whether through journaling, a symbolic act of burning, or any other practice that feels right. Instead of avoiding your feelings, try to be present with them, learning to manage their intensity with awareness. Understand that endings are necessary to create space for new beginnings and focus your intentions on what you want to grow in their place.

Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): There may be an urge to explore new horizons. These signs may also feel deeply in tune with their emotions.

Earth Signs (Ta**us, Virgo, Capricorn): A focus on long-term plans and material foundations may be beneficial, especially regarding health, wealth, and work.

Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): Admitting feelings, improving communication, or focusing on career ambitions and community are encouraged.

Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): The focus may be on truths that can no longer be ignored, home and family life, or introspection

For a simple, but powerful, New Moon spell:

Prepare your space: Choose a quiet area, and consider cleansing it with smoke from incense or a smudge stick like mugwort or sage. You can set up an altar with items like candles, crystals, or reflective objects. Black, red, and white candles are good for this Moon. Include symbolic items that represent things you are manifesting, deities or spirits you are working with, or other items that feel right to you.

Use a bay leaf or piece of paper hand--torn from one of your journals or notebooks--a brown paper bag works just as well--for writing down your intentions.

Set your intentions: Meditate to clear your mind and focus on what you want to manifest for the new moon cycle. You can write down up to nine intentions (make it an odd number, it 3's), specific intentions, or affirmations on your paper or bay leaf. Feel free to draw sigils or other words of empowerment.

Cast the spell:
Light your candle and focus on your intention while it burns.

Fold the paper with your intentions in a specific way (e.g., folding toward you, then turning and folding again). You can just visualize your intentions or you can say your own words or prayers as you cast your spell and burn your paper or leaf.

For a simpler approach, you can simply say a charm or make a wish when you see the new moon.

Release the energy: Once the candle has finished burning or you are done with the ritual, you can symbolically release your spell. Some people take the remnants of the candle and ashes to a crossroads, while others bury them in a potted plant.

You can use the candle wax for divination if you wish, as well as the candle flame.

Always feel free to add your own herbs and oils during your spell. This is just a simple overview; make the magic your own!

November 16 is Hekate's Night!

11/16/2025

I'm borrowing this from a friend of mine!

Add your birthday as if you're doing your life path number 💜
Example... April 24, 1972 = 04/24/1972=
0+4+2+4+1+9+7+2 = 11
Then if you end up with double-digits, add those UNLESS the digits are 11, 22, or 33.

So, if your numbers equal 13, then add 1+3=4 to give you 4 for your final number.

If your numbers equal 11, 22, or 33, you read those as your final number.

Let us know what you get!

We should be able to see the Northern Lights tonight on the Oregon Coast, despite cloudy skies! Geomagnetic energy (known as Kp) is very high right now, and the window for spotting the aurora will be from around 6 pm until 6 am.

Here are a few tips for making your viewing experience a bit easier.

Check the sky for breaks in the clouds and be ready to look whenever you see a clear spot.

Look north: Face the northern horizon to get the best view of the aurora.

Use a camera: If you have a digital camera with a tripod, try setting it for a 3- to 5-second exposure facing the northern sky. If you see any shades of green or red, the aurora is active.

I know that I didn't use a camera last time I watched the aurora, but I knew a few people that did, and the colors showed up so much more that way.

A few facts:

Did you know our Sun has a "heartbeat?Every eleven years or so it beats which is known as the solar cycle and is measured by the number of sunspots visible on the sun. The more sunspots, the more solar flare energy is being released into space (which means more aurora activity!).

For 400 years, since Galileo, we have been keeping a record of the Sun spots, and they are predictable! The Sun began flipping its magnetic poles in 2024, which was predicted many years earlier. Starting around that year, and over the next t few years, the northern lights will be more fantastic than ever.

The different colors you see in the aurora mean something too, and you probably will only get a couple of the colors here.

The main colors of the aurora borealis are green, red, and blue/purple, which result from solar particles colliding with oxygen and nitrogen atoms at different altitudes. Green is the most common, produced by oxygen at lower altitudes (60-150 miles), while red is less common and appears higher up (above 150 miles). Blue and purple are caused by nitrogen and appear at lower altitudes (below 60 miles) or at the highest levels, depending on the gas and solar activity. Pink and yellow are less common and appear when colors mix. Pink is a combination of red and purple, and yellow is a mix of red and green.

Although I personally don't know much about the affect of the aurora in our astrological chart, many people suggest the aurora's electromagnetic energy could have an energetic impact, potentially intensifying feelings or emotional sensitivity. It does seem that the Sun's flares and spots create fairly significant affects, so it is worth noting how you feel during times of high Kps and aurora activity!

If you notice any changes to your mood or health and want to share, feel

On November 9, Mercury went into Retrograde where it will remain until November 29, making this the last time it will be in retrograde in 2025. I know everyone dreads Mercury in Retrograde, but what is it and what does it really mean for us?

Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion where Mercury appears to move backward in the sky, typically happening three to four times a year. Mercury is the planet closest to the sun and orbits it faster than Earth. When Earth "overtakes" it in its orbit, Mercury appears to slow down and move backward for about three weeks, showing us its "retrograde" motion.

We often like to blame Mercury for everything that goes wrong, but we have a lot of other planets that deserve some of the blame here and there! This period is traditionally linked to confusion, delays, and misunderstandings in areas that Mercury rules: communication, travel, and technology. This is the time you want to take extra care with communication: Double-check messages and emails, as misunderstandings can be more likely. It's probably a great time to use those silly emojis some of us find irritating because messages can be easily misconstrued at this time. Keep things straightforward but lighthearted, if possible.

It's best to postpone major decisions or the start of new projects until the retrograde period has passed. You dont want things getting off to a shaky start with multiple delays, misunderstandings, or too many random annoyances. Spend this time making sure your plans are in order, but wait until Mercury goes direct to make your move. If you can't wait, plan for delays, and prepare to be forgiving.

Don't despair! Mercury in Retrograde has a positive side! It is also seen as a powerful time for reflection and for reviewing and reorienting plans and decisions. Sometimes, we jump into things, forgetting we should stop and consider all actions and consequences beforehand. Mercury reminds us that, although moving swiftly can be proactive and show confidence and assertiveness, it's also wise to use make sure our winged sandals are fully tightened and ready to fly.

Focus on self-care by practicing relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing if you feel overwhelmed. It might be the perfect opportunity to take a break from your phone and laptop; turn off the shows you obsessively watch, and find comfort in simple joys, such as nature walks, bubble baths, or cooking yummy meals with fall-veggies!

A few words about the November, 2025 Mercury Retrograde. This one might be a little more "dramatic" than most. Beginning in the fire sign of Sagittarius, it ends in watery Scorpio, which might cause some of us to be a bit overly dramatic and emotional. Don't read too much between imaginary lines and create scenarios that don't exist.

On top of it all, on November 7, Uranus went Retrograde in Ta**us, which can lead to a redefinition of personal values, force hidden truths into the open, and lead to internal breakthroughs. Emotional and financial shakeups are possible, but remember to embrace change.This transit is a chance to become more comfortable with surprises and to internalize that change is a positive force, rather than something to fear.

Our stone of the week is bloodstone!

First, we'll get the technicalities out of the way. There are 5 types of bloodstone--6 if you count dragon bloodstone! The one most people are familiar with is African bloodstone which has become popular in the last several years. African bloodstone is a rich, deep green, and not only contains large red chunks, but also areas of yellow and orange. The classic bloodstone is a more uniform green with specks of red giving the appearance of being spattered with blood, hence, the name. Other types of bloodstone include Indian bloodstone and Seftonite, a softer twist on bloodstone, with lighter shades of green and subdued reds. Heliotrope jasper is the final type, which is similar to classic bloodstone, but very deep green with a super glossy sheen and shiny surface.

All bloodstones are basically a type of chalcedony, a cryptocrystalline quartz, meaning, it is just silica like all other quartz, but the crystal pattern is so small that you can't see it unless you have an extremely high-powered microscope! The green color generally comes from the minerals chlorite and amphibole, and the red from iron inclusions such as hematite.

You might know bloodstone by its other name heliotrope, although the name isn't as common now as it once was. The name "heliotrope" comes from the Greek words "helios" (sun) and "trepein" (to turn), reflecting the ancient belief that the stone could turn the sun's reflection blood-red when placed in water. It was also believed that when Jesus Christ was crucified, drops of his blood fell onto the earth and turned into bloodstones. This connection to the blood of Christ gave the stone its powerful healing and protective properties. In Indian culture, bloodstone is considered an aphrodisiac. Within the culture, bloodstone would be ground up into a fine powder and sold for a high price.

Bloodstone is believed to improve blood circulation and support healthy bone marrow. This can be especially beneficial for individuals dealing with conditions related to blood flow, such as anemia and poor circulation. It is also recognized for its purifying effect on the blood, helping to eliminate toxins and improve overall wellbeing.

Bloodstone is known to have a profound impact on one’s emotional state. It promotes emotional resilience, courage, and inner strength, making it an ideal stone for individuals dealing with abandonment, loneliness, or trauma. It has a stabilizing effect on emotions, helping to bring balance and clarity. It can also enhance decision-making skills and boost energy levels.

It is known to balance the lower chakras, providing a strong foundation and promoting a sense of stability and security. This stone is often used during meditation to help individuals connect with their inner selves and experience a deeper level of introspection and self-discovery.

Bloodstone activates our inner strength, willpower, and courage that has been masked by fear. This crystal is a purifier of our negative energies and aids to convert these thoughts and feelings into positive ones. Bloodstone helps break the mold of our endless monotonous cycles by helping us aspire to who we truly want to be. It provides us with the necessary confidence and fortitude to move past hard times and see the growth ahead.

Bloodstone is often associated with the Zodiac signs Scorpio, Pisces, and Aries. In Feng Shui, it is believed to protect the home from evil spirits and forces, as well as provide grounding energy and energize all rooms in the home. In the southeast corner of the home, it can increase wealth and abundance. In the center of a home, business, or room, it can promote overall well-being and balance.

A truly unique and diverse crystal, this is one that you need to check out if you don't already have any in your collection, or even if you do! What kind do you have? We have some really beautiful pieces here at Alchemy Life & Wellness Boutique ! Stop by and see which one speaks to you!
