The Beaver Moon

New Moon - October 27th & Full Moon November 12th

As we begin to slow down, we have the opportunity to take in the marvel of Fall’s magic.

Cyclical Insights

November’s Full Moon is known as the Beaver Moon, The Frost Moon, and The Freezing River Moon. In native traditions, the abundant Beavers represented key resources but also symbolized strategy, teamwork, and urgency as beavers are relatively unstoppable together on their tasks at hand. This moon cycle is also a clear sign of the cold weather to come as the rivers begin to freeze and the frost becomes evident. Being prepared and coming together is key, as most of the time from this point until Spring is spent indoors.

What would you call this moon based on where you live and what you are noticing?
