🌕♉ The final supermoon of 2024 rises at 4:28 EST. Many know her as the Beaver moon, Mourning Moon, Frost Moon, Deer Rutting Moon and Turkey Moon, just to name a few. She is joined in the sky by the beautiful Pleiades, or the "Seven Sisters," (the brightness of supermoon may make viewing most of this cluster difficult) and the Hunter of the Orion constellation, which will follow in the eastern sky.
Astrologer, Reda Wigle, writes, "Zodiac polarities, Scorpio (sun) and Ta**us (moon), are both fixed signs that go hard and hold on tight. Themes for this lunation include power, intimacy, resources, release, and self-rescue. This is the axis of life and death, sustenance and survival, what feeds us and what feeds from us. The moon is exalted in Ta**us, 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 Ta**us 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."
Many see November's moon as intimately connected with death and loss, on both a literal and symbolic level. Some refer to it as the Reed Moon, drawing comparisons with the sound of wind instruments and the mournful music of spirits being drawn into the underworld. And let's not forget this full moon follows Samhain and All Souls.
According to the Farmer's Almanac, this full moon also correlates to the time of the year when trappers set their sights on beavers. The Beavers communicate danger by slapping the surface of the water, signaling others to seek safety in the dark depths, an apt metaphor for the Ta**us/Scorpio axis.
Those with planets in the fixed signs (Ta**us, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) may feel the effects of this lunation most - but those with houses ruled by Ta**us may want to look to those houses and what they represent in order to determine how this moon may express itself in their personal lives - or how they may want to focus their energies during this lunation.❤️
