Moon Map Gazette - November 2025

Welcome

As the hush of early winter settles in, the air sharpens and the sky deepens. November invites simplicity, slowness, and quiet wonder the golden light of Taurus, the introspection of Scorpio, and the shimmer of meteor trails threading through long nights. This is the month of gathering warmth, of pausing to feel the steady rhythm beneath the turning sky.

Moon Phases & Cosmic Energy

Full Moon — Beaver Moon (Taurus) 5 Nov · 13:19

Grounded, patient, enduring. The Beaver Moon marks the time of building and storing, a call to fortify what sustains you. In Taurus, it celebrates comfort, ritual, and devotion to what truly lasts.

Third Quarter🌗 12 Nov · 05:28 A gentle letting-go. The harvest is gathered; now we pare back. Compost what you no longer need and make space for rest.

New Moon — Scorpio 🌑 20 Nov · 06:47 A descent into stillness and renewal. Scorpio asks for truth, release, and regeneration. Plant intentions that honour authenticity and transformation.

First Quarter 🌓 28 Nov · 06:58 Energy rises once more. Begin to act on your intentions with grounded courage and quiet determination.

Cosmic & Night-Sky Highlights

November’s heavens are alive with slow-moving lights:

Taurid Fireballs - early in the month, glowing trails move gently across the night. Look around 4–12 Nov, especially near midnight.

Leonid Meteors - swift and fine, best before dawn around 17 Nov. Lie back, breathe, and watch the sky’s silent conversation with itself.

Season of the Cailleach

As November settles, the Cailleach stirs, the ancient hag of winter who breathes frost across the land. This is the season of stillness and endurance, when the earth lies bare and rest becomes sacred work. A time to honour the wisdom of age, the beauty of retreat, and the quiet power of all that sleeps beneath the surface.

Seasonal & Spiritual Notes

The harvest year is complete; now begins the slow turning toward Yule. In many cultures, early November is a time of remembrance and ancestral honouring, a continuation of Samhain’s breath. Light a candle for those who came before and for the parts of yourself now ready to rest.

Moon Magic - Ritual

Keystone & Candle

• On the Beaver Moon, write a list of what keeps you steady - habits, people, and practices that nourish you.

• Place it beneath a small stone or jar of grains, your keystone.

• Each night until the New Moon, light a candle and breathe gratitude for what you’ve built.

• On 20 Nov, write one truth you wish to live more fully and slip it beneath the keystone, trusting it will take root as the Moon waxes again.

Lunar Lore & Legends

The Cailleach and the Winter Veil

In Gaelic tradition, the Cailleach is the ancient crone who shapes the land and ushers in the cold.When she raises her staff, frost spreads; when she lays it down, spring returns.Her story reminds us that endings are sacred, and that dormancy - like darkness - is never the end, but the quiet beginning of renewal.

Closing

May the Beaver Moon steady your foundations, the Cailleach guide you into wise stillness, and the Scorpio New Moon stir a quiet transformation within. Rest deeply. Watch the stars. The light will return in its own time.
