The final supermoon of the year is approaching, with the full beaver moon set to rise in Taurus on November 15th at 24 degrees. It will be up to 14% bigger and brighter, illuminating the successes and failures in our lives. This moon will reach its peak illumination at 4:28 p.m. ET and its effects will be felt until November 19th. The moon’s position in Taurus signifies comfort and grounding in a tumultuous world, offering the promise of stability amidst chaos.
The full moon in Taurus will oppose the sun in Scorpio, highlighting themes of power, intimacy, resources, release, and self-rescue. Taurus governs consumption and the tangible, while Scorpio rules expulsion and release. This axis represents the balance between life and death, sustenance and survival, and the cycle of renewal through decay. The full moon reminds us that change is necessary for growth and that stagnation can lead to a loss of connection with our true nature.
The moon’s conjunction with Uranus, the planet of the unexpected, suggests that this lunation may bring surprising truths, solutions, or opportunities. This full moon marks the last time Pluto will be in Capricorn during a full moon, with the planet moving into Aquarius the following week. The archetypes of Persephone and Pluto embody the Taurus/Scorpio axis, teaching us that transformation and renewal come from exploring our innermost selves and confronting difficult truths.
November’s full moon is known as the Beaver or Frost Moon, symbolizing the chill in the air and the preparation for winter. Beavers, with their industrious nature and survival instincts, are a metaphor for seeking safety in difficult times. The full moon in Taurus invites us to awaken to new possibilities and dangers, much like the creatures’ ability to see underwater with a transparent third eyelid. For those with personal planets in fixed signs, particularly Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius around 24 degrees, the effects of this full moon will be most pronounced.

This will provide insight into the specific areas where you may experience release, transformation, or revelation.
