Hello everyone, Time has fallen back. Now we wait for December’s longest dark hours, then move forward to light again. Yes I’m an optimist. November’s Full Beaver Supermoon reaches peak illumination on Wednesday, November 5, 2025. This is the closest Supermoon of the year! When to See November’s Full Moon The Beaver Moon reaches peak illumination on Wednesday, November 5, at 8:19 A.M. EST. It will be below the horizon at that time, so be sure to look for it on the evenings of November 4 and 5. Behold the Full Beaver Supermoon! November’s Full Beaver Moon orbits closer to Earth than any of the other Full Moons this year, making it one of the three Supermoons of 2025! At its nearest point, the Beaver Moon will be 221,817 miles (356,980 kilometers) from Earth… this is the closest Supermoon of the year! Supermoon is a catchy term for what astronomers call a perigean Full Moon, which is when the Full Moon happens at or near its closest point to Earth in its oval-shaped orbit. While a Supermoon is technically bigger and brighter than a regular Full Moon, it only appears about 7% larger—which can be an imperceptible difference to the human eye, depending on other conditions. As the Moon drifts over the horizon around sunset, it may appear larger and more orange—how perfect for the fall season! But don’t be fooled by the “Moon Illusion,” which makes the Moon appear bigger than it is. Why Is It Called the Beaver Moon? For decades, the Almanac has referenced the monthly Full Moons with names tied to early Native American, Colonial American, and European folklore. Traditionally, each Full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred and through all of the Moon’s phases—not only the Full Moon. The Beaver Moon Why the “Beaver” Moon? This is the time of year when beavers begin to take shelter in their lodges, having laid up sufficient food stores for the long winter ahead. During the fur trade in North America, it was also the season to trap beavers for their thick, winter-ready pelts. Alternative November Moon Names November’s Moon names highlight the actions of animals preparing for winter and the onset of the colder days ahead. Digging (or Scratching) Moon, a Tlingit name, evokes the image of animals foraging for fallen nuts and shoots of green foliage and bears digging their winter dens. The Dakota and Lakota term Deer Rutting Moon refers to the time when deer seek mates, and the Algonquin Whitefish Moon describes the spawning time for this fish. About the seasonal change of November, this Moon has been called the Frost Moon by the Cree and Assiniboine peoples and the Freezing Moon by the Anishinaabe—for good reason, as winter is right around the corner! If dosing WPS… If you are thinking of using the split dosing approach for your WPS, here are the basic instructions: For three days before and three days after the full moon peak, you divide your WPS dose in thirds. Regarding whatever drop count you are at, at this time, take drops at 10:30 am, drops at 3:30 pm, and drops at bedtime as usual. You have to be extremely careful to allow the full two hours between your WPS and your other protocol supplements. You need to be precise with your timing, and return immediately to your regular dosing, after the six-day cycle of the full moon (three days before and the three days after). Someone with a scientific background could explain why this works in detail, but basically it seems that by splitting the WPS, you are interrupting the reproduction cycle of the organism which is accelerated during the full moon phase. In peace and health, Jen | |||
