Prepare for a night of brilliance and clarity as the final supermoon of 2024—the Full Beaver Moon—rises on November 15 at 4:28 p.m. ET. This moon is no ordinary full moon; it’s a rare and potent cosmic event that marks the last in a series of three supermoons, each one amplifying our energies and intentions in extraordinary ways. Named the “Beaver Moon” by Native American tribes, who observed beavers preparing their lodges for winter around this time, this moon calls on us to secure our foundations, reflect on our self-worth, and clear away what’s no longer needed.

The earthy influence of Ta**us, known for its love of stability, comfort, and resilience, gives this supermoon extra power to help us root into the life we want. It’s a call to assess our foundations, make practical plans, and open ourselves to new growth as we head into 2025.

This upward enrollment trend aligns with a notable 5.8% rise in applications from first-time freshmen and a substantial 13.5% increase in freshman admits. However, housing constraints limited the university’s ability to convert the increased admits to enrollments.
