NOV/24 FULL MOON 🌕

November Full Moon 🌕: NOV.15/24

*** This Full Moon is also a Super Moon.

Thanks to the Moon's orbit around Earth, the angle of sunlight hitting the lunar surface and being reflected back to our planet changes. That creates different lunar phases.

With the changing of the seasons, November’s full moon marks the beginning of the end.

In many different cultures, November’s full moon is intimately connected with death and loss, on both a literal and symbolic level.

The Celts, for instance, called it the Reed Moon, comparing the mournful music made by wind instruments to the ghoulish sounds of spirits being drawn into the underworld. And not without good reason - the Full Mourning Moon marks a dangerous time of the year where people could easily slip into the underworld with a single misstep.

We may enjoy the luxury of winter coats and central heating now, but freezing to death during the long, dark winters used to be a real threat to early inhabitants of Northern America. In order to survive, making warm winter clothing out of beaver fur was crucial for American colonists and Native American tribes. This is why November’s full moon is also known as the Beaver Moon.

During this month, beavers are active and working hard on dam construction. So this was a good time to harvest their fur. Missing the timing for this would mean death for early Northern American communities, as the rivers would freeze over, making it impossible to set out traps.

Many Native American tribes, including the Cree, Arapaho, and Abenaki tribes, called November’s full moon the “Moon When Rivers Start to Freeze”. This name drives home the importance of November’s full moon as a signal for these Native American tribes to begin trapping beavers before it was too late, and to complete their preparations for the darkest depths of winter.

For the Pagans, on the other hand, the final stage of their winter preparations involved the important process of “mourning” - which is why they call the last moon before the winter solstice the “Mourning Moon”.

After a full year of accumulating possessions, both physically and otherwise, the Mourning Moon is the perfect time to let go of old, unnecessary things, while giving yourself permission to mourn their passing.

Practicing Pagans may perform a moonlit ritual where they write down the things they want to rid themselves of, and ask their God or Goddess for help in removing unwanted burdens.

Pagan traditions aside, anyone can benefit from taking the time to self-reflect and to let go. Take advantage of the “Full Mourning Moon” this November to look back on your year and take stock of your desires, ambitions, mental and behavioral habits, and anyone you spend your energy on.

Clean your living and work spaces, and sort out the physical objects that are not contributing to your well-being. Take the time to fully mourn and let go of anything - or anyone - that does not bring you joy, so you can begin to move forward, unfettered, towards a lighter and happier new year.

The Taurus Full Moon on November 15, brings some wildcard energy that may have you feeling scattered and/or in the midst of some uncomfortable change.

While there is some volatility under this Full Moon, we are reminded to ground our energy and to come back to our center.

The November full moon is known as the Beaver Moon.

Historically, this was the time to set traps before the swamps froze to ensure a good supply of furs for the winter. A different interpretation is that this is the time beavers would be most active in the preparation for winter.

The full moon is a powerful period for various manifestation techniques - mantra chanting, visualization, journaling, moonlight meditation, etc.
