November’s Beaver Moon

Full Moon in November

Across hemispheres, the November full moon marks a threshold moment either reinforcing what must be secured before rest, or nourishing what is actively growing. It is a moon of intentional structure, whether that structure supports rest or expansion.

Northern Hemisphere - Beaver Moon

In the Northern Hemisphere, November’s full moon is traditionally known as the Beaver Moon, named for the time when beavers actively build dams and lodges before winter sets in. Historically, it also marked when trappers prepared for frozen waterways. This moon symbolizes preparation, foresight, and building resilient foundations.

Southern Hemisphere - Late Spring Moon

In the Southern Hemisphere, November occurs in late spring, the seasonal equivalent of May in the north. Rather than preparing for winter, ecosystems are entering a phase of growth, planting, flowering, and increasing daylight. Some Southern Hemisphere seasonal frameworks reinterpret this moon around themes of planting and abundance, reflecting spring agricultural cycles rather than dormancy.


Our November Moon Water Mist helps you honor both preparation and flourishing, gathering strength and tapping into forward momentum.
