Beaver Full Moon
The Beaver Full Moon is a potent one. With November as a background portal of transition into a new Season, you can use the clarity of this illuminating moon as a window of opportunity to build your sacred Winter nest: A place where you can dream, imagine and re-invent yourself as you bathe in the potent energies, that prepares you for your next Chapter.
The Beaver Moon got its name from the Old Farmer’s Almanac referring to the time at the year, where beavers are busy building their dams before winter arrives. At this time of year, beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient food stores for the long Winter Season. As the temperatures drop, the industrious beavers thicken their pelts and build dams to survive the long freeze ahead.
Beavers are mainly nocturnal and take advantage of the dazzling lunar light to build their cosy homes, and the Beaver Moon signals the last chance to build a home for most creatures for the Winter season. Like beavers, we too should take the opportunity to take stock, replenish mind, body and soul, and prepare for the chilly days ahead.
The Beaver Moon is also known as the Frost Moon and the Freezing Moon for good reasons, as winter is right around the corner! Unlike summer’s bright hues or autumn’s golden glow, November’s moonlight is ethereal, stretching over the frost-dusted forests like an otherworldly spotlight, offering unique nocturnal beauty for those willing to brave the chilly November air.
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
The Beaver Moon is a restless calling for you to build your own dam as a bridge to a new land and dream up daring something new in your life. Think of this Full Moon is an exciting window of opportunity to totally re-invent yourself. Just like a child that takes on different personas though play, under this Full Moon, you are supported to connect to the Power of Play and try out different roles.
This is a time to ‘try and test’ if a new way of seeing and being yourself is more suitable and honouring of everything you are after everything you have been through, and everything you have learned in the process.
SHED YOUR PAST (SELF)
As we approach the New Year and you may be sifting trough the memories and lessons of this year, you may also come to realize, that you are so much more powerful now. Maybe you are softer too, maybe more bold, maybe more free.
This is the time to experiment with your own private make-over of who you are based on how you feel and then gift yourself the opportunity to let go of the old identities that you - or others- hold you in, so that you can shine more brightly through your newfound wisdom of who you truly are.
As children, we are not afraid to try a new thing or play a new role every day, but as adults, we often hold ourselves captive to the many roles, we take on in life. This is the time to shed them for a minute (you can always take those self-imposed burdens back later, ok?) and try to experiment with the idea of seeing yourself through a new lens. Who are you now? The Full Moon in Gemini is unconditional support and your playmate in this sacred game of next-level up-lifting.
Things to Let go of:
personas that no longer represent you
people-pleasing
the “should’s” of your life
being nice rather than being direct
superficiality
identities from the past
negative thoughts
words that diminish you or others.
YOUR WORD IS POWER
During this Full Moon, pay attention to the power of your words as you are given the support and confidence to make the changes that are for your higher good - and self.
You may feel as if you have two minds or voices. If you are torn between two ways or decisions, go for the one that feels best even though it can seem too bold and too intimidating at this moment. This is the time for taking the road less travelled when faced with the choice between what you’ve always done or step into a new way of being.
The November Full Moon is here to remind us to be aware of the power of our attention, our words, and our thoughts. Encouraging reflection on the connection between how we think, how we perceive reality, how we speak to ourselves, and how we speak to others, this Full Moon invites us to pay attention to repetitive thinking loops and beliefs that aren’t serving our growth and empowerment. By becoming more aware of our inner dialogue and noticing the link between our thoughts and our emotions, we are given the opportunity to embody a new level of presence and, from there, make different choices.
December is a month for culminations and new beginnings, and this Moon is a time for saying farewell to the old and start diving into the upcoming energy of the New Year with this little inner stage rehearsal of sifting and sorting through what you want to let go of and what you want to build upon.
This will prepare you for the evolutionary energies of 2025, where you are required to have the courage to fulfill your dreams and your destiny! ‘Ok chillax, really?’, your inner voice might be opposing. The November Full Moon will answer boldly and firmly ‘YES darling, really!’
Know that any form of communication will be extra potent today, so use your words wisely. Especially towards yourself. Take some time to write down your feelings or thoughts in order to have more clarity about your deepest desires of who you are now and the longings you wish to manifest in the new chapter of your life. Express the words through your higher self’s soul magic, that are waiting to be heard.
Under this Full Moon, dare to not think it up, but dream it up!
Full Moon Blessings to all,
