November 2025 Full Beaver supermoon in Taurus is a trial by fire

There’s a supermoon on the horizon and betwixt the horns of the zodiac’s resident hedonist.

The Full Beaver supermoon in Taurus is on the rise, folks — peaking on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 8:19 a.m. EDT at 13°22 Taurus.

The blessed bull moon will appear up to 14% bigger and brighter — all the better to see the stark lines of our failures and majesties.

The full moon is the halfway point in the moon’s lunar cycle when tides and emotions ride high. There is no hiding under a full moon, as its light reflects what can no longer be ignored or endured.

The full moon always opposes the sign the sun is currently shining in. Come Wednesday, the moon in Taurus will oppose the sun in Scorpio.

Zodiac polarities, Scorpio and Taurus, are both fixed signs that go hard and hold on tight. Themes for this lunation include power, intimacy, resources, release, and self-rescue.

“The Full Moon in Taurus delivers an exalted lunation that starts calm, grounded, and full of promise –  but ultimately turns everything upside down,” Rachel Ruth Tate, certified astrologer at Casinos Analyzer, told The Post.

Tate notes that the moon is exalted in Taurus, meaning our moody mirror in the sky is best able to express her divine feminine prowess, where it can claim comfort and return to stasis through pleasure.

This position offers support and consistency in an increasingly unhinged world.

The moon in Taurus reminds us that no matter where lightning strikes or how unbearable the act of being becomes, we can return to the earthly anchor of the body and the promise of a fallow field.

“We have an exalted moon — the best kind of moon you can have — full in Taurus, and we have the ruler of the bull, Venus, in wonderful condition in her home sign of Libra. The energy is high, and the world is at our feet, an oyster in our palm with this Venusian syzygy.”

But don’t get comfortable, mothertruckers, as soon after the full moon, Venus departs the brocade chambers of Libra for the desire dungeon of Scorpio, the sign of her detriment.

“Suddenly, what once felt graceful becomes intense, probing, and raw. And as if that weren’t enough, Uranus – the outer planet bringer of disruption, cataclysm, and significant social change – re-enters Taurus the very next day.”

But wait, there’s more, and arguably worse, to come.

“During this Full Moon in Taurus lunar cycle, both arbiters of knowledge, Mercury and Jupiter, station retrograde. The universe seems to be pressing pause, asking us to slow down, rethink, and re-evaluate the ground beneath our feet.”

The double trouble of these retrogrades forces us to reckon with tangibility, value, and the forces that steady and destabilize.

“We are brought back to the question of VALUE, one of the core significations of Taurus. What is valuable to you, and why? What’s worth protecting, and what can no longer survive the storm?” asks Tate.

She shared that this full moon gives us a fleeting moment of stability that reminds us, “even comfort must evolve and that control, like beauty, is never permanent.”

Meaning of the Full Beaver Moon

As per “The Old Farmer’s Almanac,” November’s full moon is known as the Beaver or Frost Moon, an homage to the chill in the air and the industrious buck-toothed mammals that seek shelter in their lodges as they prepare for the barren months to come.

In the circle of life and the pursuit of warmth, this full moon also correlates to the time of the year trappers set their sights on beavers and their promissory pelts.

Beavers communicate danger by slapping the water’s surface, a signal that warns others to seek safety in the dark depths —an apt metaphor for the Taurus/Scorpio axis.

With teeth that never cease to grow and a transparent third eyelid that allows them to see underwater, we can read these creatures as totemic of knowledge without end, and this full moon as an invitation to awaken to unforeseen dangers and possibilities.

“This Full Moon in Taurus lunar cycle may have you doubling down or going deeper in a way that feels new or scary, Aries,” shared Tate.

Rams know better than anyone else that fortune favors the bold b–ch and nothing ventured equals nothing gained.

“Committing to causes that you believe in and people that you truly care about is both brave and wise.”

Happy Full Moon to you, Taurus!

“The spotlight is on you, and it is your time to set the proverbial tone.  This Full Moon in Taurus happens in YOUR sign of self and body, meaning that you might feel this one deep,” said Tate.

She reminds the people of the bull that deep can be sweet and bitter can be soft.

“Authenticity is key, and your ability to be yourself — in all of your fullness AND in all of your relationships – will be what unlocks the real power of this lunation.”

“Gemini, the cosmic moment is asking you to dive beneath the surface to unlock some new levels… which can be a big ask, as it goes against your natural tendencies,” shared Tate. 

However, with the Full Moon knocking on the door of your twelfth house of the unconscious mind, it is high time for a deep dive.

“For the full potency and potential great benefit of this lunation to truly unfold for you, you’re going to have to go within, quiet down and listen, listen, listen.”

“Cancer, you know you have friends in the right places, and you’re allowed to dream bigger than you often permit yourself to,” said Tate.

However, this Full Moon hits your house of luck.

“However, to play your cards right, you first have to choose to sit down at the table! Have faith that everything is unfolding exactly as it is meant to.”

“Leo, you’re a natural-born leader who often finds yourself with choices when it comes to your career or public roles,” said Tate.

The Full Moon in Taurus rises and shines in your tenth house of legacy and perception.

“You are urged to share, perform, or express whatever it is you’ve been working on. Remember to keep creating and occupy any spotlight offered with humility and radical gratitude!”

“Virgo, you can trust your steady moral compass and pragmatism to keep you going in all circumstances, so have faith now that it will work out,” urged Tate.

She shared that this Full Moon in Taurus activates your ninth house of expansion and philosophy.

“What inspires you to learn, travel, grow, and explore, both physically and spiritually? Whatever it is, seek and savor more of it.”

“Libra, your natural tendency to be generous and kind often pays major social dividends, and this Full Moon in Taurus lunation is no exception,” promised Tate.

She urges the people of the scales to think of their words as spells.

“Speak some really good juju into the ears of your nearest and dearest… You might just be surprised and delighted with the results. Remember that your deepest spheres of influence are the closest.”

“Scorpio, when it comes to people that actually matter to you, you’re in it to win it, and not much comes between you and devotion to your most precious ones,” said Tate.

As this full moon activates your seventh house of trusted partnership, she shared that it will bring to light, “the true quality and comfort of some long-cultivated partnerships and primary relationships that undergird the emotional structure of your life. Gratitude is the real easter egg, if you choose to access it!”

“Sagittarius, you thrive when you commit to positive daily rituals that create a healthy foundation for your best life,” said Tate.

She notes that this Full Moon serves as a reminder for archers of the magic that lives in the mundane.

“This lunation will also highlight ways you’ve become a bit self-indulgent. It would serve you well to be open to making positive changes to your self-care routines or personal schedule as the invitations arise!”

“Capricorn, you can tend towards all work and no play, and this Full Moon in Taurus arrives as a reminder to let yourself live a little and have honest-to-goodness fun,” said Tate.

She urges sea goats to embrace sociability under the light of this moon.

“You are lucky to have some good people in your corner, and it serves both you and your community well to get convivial.  Remember that joy heals and togetherness builds bridges.”  

“Aquarius, your private life deserves attention, though your commitment to work or community involvements can call you away,” said Tate.

She notes that this Full Moon shines a light on your fourth house of home, patterning, and ancestry.

“This moon reminds you that you’ve got access to a deep well of love and care, whose distribution is yours to direct outward in any way you wish.”

“Pisces, look for deeply important conversations to change your frame of mind around this Full Moon in Taurus syzygy,” shared Tate.

“You’ve been undergoing some highly personal changes and life transformations on almost every level, and if you have the capacity to listen and accept the bounty offered by this lunation, you can reap the benefits it is here to provide you with now.  The truth will set you free!”

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon is also the last of 2025. The Cold Moon in Gemini rises on Thursday, Dec. 4, 2025, and reaches maximum brightness around 6:14 P.M EST.
