Full Moon of November – the Song of Release and Rebirth
It is a time to let go and renew. The Beaver Moon illuminates the sky and the mind, guiding us between memory and future, tradition and domestic wellbeing, with astrological and Feng Shui practices that turn energy into action.
As the seasons shift, the full moon of November rises silently in the sky like an ancient sentinel announcing the end of a cycle. It is the Beaver Moon, so named by Native American tribes who, during this time, watched the animals work tirelessly before the rivers froze. It was a sign of preparation, readiness, and natural wisdom.
Yet in pagan traditions, this same Moon takes on a different face: it is the Mourning Moon, a symbol of closure and release. The Celts called it the Reed Moon, whose plaintive music echoed like the call of spirits toward the underworld. It was the time when the earth withdrew into silence — and the human soul was invited to do the same: to let go, to lay down what is old, what has completed its course.

Today, even though we live in warm and well-lit homes, we can still sense the subtle power of this lunar phase. November asks us to reflect and lighten our load: to observe what we have accumulated throughout the year—not only in our closets but in our hearts—and to grant ourselves the courage to let go. It is a time of purification, of conscious surrender, an invitation to honor our losses and transform them into space for the new.
Let this Beaver Moon teach us the art of patience and preparation, but also the grace of letting go. For every ending, when embraced with love, becomes the threshold of a new beginning.

This astral configuration, occurring during this year on November 5 , with the Full Moon between the Sun in Scorpio and the Moon in Taurus, is considered a sacred Hindu event commemorating the descent of the Gods to Earth, celebrated during the Kartik Purnima festival.
For those wishing to “synchronize” with this auspicious moment, it is customary—according to Indian tradition—to light lanterns (Diyas) and votive lamps.
If we then wish to use the arrangement of the planets corresponding to the northwest Earth 2 and northeast Earth 8 sectors of the Ba Gua, according to the Chinese Feng Shui Compass, we can align the lights in our home along the axis of the full moon, which lies at 213° SW – 33° NE, as shown in the following azimuth chart:
