What’s this imply for you? Properly, our subsequent full moon — a full beaver moon on November 27, 2023 — is not going to be the overwhelming lunar eclipse we had on October 28, 2023; as a substitute, we’re getting one thing slightly extra manageable. The complete beaver moon (we’ll discuss extra concerning the which means behind the curious title in a second) will arrive in Gemini, the air signal of the mischievous, ever-curious twins. Yet one more factor to be pleased about: The complete moon isn’t on Thanksgiving itself, as all clues level to this being a little bit of a fiery one.
When is the following full moon?
This post-Thanksgiving full moon can be on Monday, November 27, 2023 at 4:16 a.m. (EST).

What’s the astrological which means of a full moon?
Full moons are a time of fruits and anticipation, endings and realizations. Realization of one thing inside your self or the conclusion of one thing inside you turning into concrete within the bodily, exterior world. An thrilling time, certainly.
Nonetheless, they will additionally carry a few unhappy time for some. Steven Forrest, a pioneer of contemporary astrology, tells us, “The preliminary New Moon imaginative and prescient has come into full manifestation: it’s now actual (artwork and creativity are extremely manifest), however it is usually compromised, and caught up in polarized stand-offs…” In brief, as soon as one thing thrilling occurs, it additionally ends; as soon as one thing occurs, it’s not filled with risk.

What’s happening with November 2023’s Gemini full moon?

The Mars-in-Sagittarius individual will really feel they’re morally justified of their actions, whereas the moon-in-Gemini individual will not be taking issues too significantly and simply making an attempt to have enjoyable. Sadly, it will solely anger the Mars individual extra. Then once more, feelings typically run excessive after Thanksgiving, so this won’t be completely surprising.
The moon makes a trine to Pluto & a sextile to Neptune
The dwarf planet Pluto’s trine to the moon offers us energy to be our personal authority and may also carry intense feelings. Neptune, the planet of phantasm and fantasy, can soften issues and make them appear not so unhealthy — or, on the very least, could assist us create our personal secure little world to gap up in.

The Farmer’s Almanac additionally lists different historic names, together with: the digging moon (a Tlingit title), deer rutting moon (Dakota and Lakota), whitefish moon (Algonquin), frost moon (Cree and Assiniboine), and freezing moon (Anishinaabe). Given the stark temperature drop that hit New York over the previous week, the title “freezing moon” resonates most with me — very similar to the “full chilly moon” of final December.
