If there’s an overall theme for this month it is along the lines of HUNKER DOWN. 

November is reminding you to strengthen your foundations. Build an easy-to-follow self care regimen. Honor your home space and the need for down time. The Beaver moon is the name of the first (and typically the only) full moon of the November lunar cycle. Its meaning is said to have originated with the Algonquin people—an indigenous North American people.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE BEAVER

Beavers are master architects. They use focus, precision and determination to build the strongest and sturdiest of homes. The beaver reminds us that with a steady, unwavering vision and pace, great accomplishments are achieved.

IN ASTROLOGICAL TERMS… 

This time astrologically is somewhat congruent with the qualities of the beaver. The full moon on November 12th is in the sign of Taurus. Like the beaver, Taurus the bull brings resilience, vigilance and an appreciation for a safe and comfortable home environment.

Full Moon in Taurus nudges us toward the finer things in life—to revel in our own beauty and sensuality. Then when Mars moves into Scorpio on the 19th sexual energy is on the rise and encourages us toward warmth, depth and playfulness with self and other.

Here are some key notes for each astrological sign as we move through the month of November…

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23–NOVEMBER 21)

The full moon on the 12th is opposite your sign making you hyper-aware of balance and imbalance in your relationships. If something is out of whack, do something about it. 

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22–DECEMBER 21)

You’re on fire. Your intuition is tapped in and turned on. The new moon on the 26th will spark a readiness to go out and get what you want. Be totally explicit with your partner about what you’re craving. You won’t get what you don’t ask for.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 19)

The full moon on the 12th is happening between your house of friendship and romance. This is a potent time for envisioning and attracting the love relationship you’re dreaming of.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20–FEBRUARY 18)

You are in the spotlight this month, although you may feel that you desperately need a break. Pay attention to where your natural attractions lie. If you’re in a relationship, you’ll crave a little breathing room. The new moon on the 26th emphasizes how much other people mean to you.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19–MARCH 20)

You may enjoy some travel time soon. Perhaps you crave a getaway that will make your life a little more interesting. You’ll have a desire this month to develop more balance in your relationship. Is the give-and-take just right, or does it need some tweaking?

LASTLY, TAKE A LESSON FROM THE BEAVER

Take a good look around your living situation... What do you intend to build with what you have? What resources can you put to good use? How can you make your house more of a home?
