The November 24 Full Moon is a supermoon
At the exact Full Moon, the Moon will be about 360,800 km (224,200 miles) from Earth — 45,000 km closer than June's Full Moon. By the common definition that makes it a supermoon: the disk is slightly larger and brighter than average, though the difference is hard to see by eye. Lunar perigee follows late on November 25 (UTC) at about 359,300 km. November's Full Moon is traditionally called the Beaver Moon; the closest Full Moon of 2026 comes a month later, on December 24.
Astrologically, this Full Moon lights up the Gemini–Sagittarius axis: the Sun has been in Sagittarius since November 22, the Moon is in Gemini. The theme is information versus meaning — what you've learned in recent weeks and what you conclude from it. A good time to finish open conversations and tie up loose ends in your studies.
The November 9 New Moon in Scorpio
A Scorpio New Moon opens a cycle about trust, shared resources and deep change. This time it lands while both Mercury and Venus are retrograde, so it's better used for setting intentions than for launches: signing and starting new things is easier after November 14.
