What November’s Full Moon in Gemini Means for Each Zodiac Sign
Design by Channing Smith
In astrology, whenever a full moon arrives, it gives us an opportunity to address and reassess the parts of us that we’ve been avoiding. The November full moon peaks in the sky on November 27 at 4:16 a.m. ET (1:16 a.m. PT). This full moon is also deemed the Beaver Moon, as it signifies the time of the year when beavers used to be the most active as they prepared for winter’s colder months.
Full moons are often a time for “shedding light” on our shadow parts and giving ourselves the opportunity to release anything that no longer serves us on our pathway forward. As the full moon will also be ruled by the sign of Gemini, the sign of the twins, it will be full of chatty, curious, and fast-paced energy. Under this full Beaver Moon in Gemini, we can see the ways in which we are haphazardly moving through life, going too fast for our own good, and holding ourselves back not by the quality of our work but in an attempt to do too many things at once.
Asking yourself where your energy has been overspent is an important reflection under the November full moon. Gemini is a mutable air sign and one of the most social, intelligent, and witty signs of the zodiac; during this time, we can benefit from brainstorming with others but also reconnecting with ourselves and looking at “both sides” of the story. Allow this full moon to light up your curiosity as you ask yourself some important questions:
Where am I spending my energy that no longer feels good, and can I bring back some of that energy to myself?
Do I have a balanced approach to my alone time and my social time?
Where have my opinions become too rigid? Can I become more open-minded?
How can I prepare myself for the goals that I have? What is one small action step that I can take toward my goal(s)?
Full moons are a great time to feel, heal, and integrate what we learn under their bright illumination. This upcoming moon offers us a chance to shed and release the ways in which we are tiring ourselves out and wasting our precious energy in the wrong places. So whatever you notice rising up to the surface in your social life, relationships, work dynamics, and more may just need your attention and recalibration. Use your discernment during this time; Gemini energy is highly intellectual, so writing down a pros-and-cons list before making the decision to cut something (or someone) out of your life can be helpful. Think things through, find comfort in the duality of life, and allow yourself to stay curious to whatever (or whoever) pops up to the surface during this lunation.
Read on below for insights on how this Beaver full moon in Gemini will affect you based on your sign. Look for both your sun and your rising signs for the most accurate insights.
Aries & Aries Rising
Time to take a long, hard look at the people you are surrounded by. There is an opportunity for you to redefine what chosen family means to you. Your energy is highly affected by the people you keep in your close circle, and with this full moon in Gemini lighting up your third house of communication, social activities, interests, and siblings, you might notice that you’re craving a sense of togetherness. Try inviting some of your favorite people over for a craft night or starting your own cookbook club. There’s no shortage of ways to connect, and this full moon is asking you to step into the role of initiating these gatherings on a more frequent and personal basis. Open your heart and home to the people you care about the most.
Taurus & Taurus Rising
November’s full moon in Gemini is landing in your second house of material possessions, income, and your job, asking you if things are going swimmingly or if a reassessment is needed. It’s okay to have periods of time where you don’t feel 100% lit up by your work, but if you’re lacking purpose and passion altogether in your career, now will be the time to switch things up. You could also find it extremely valuable to create and stick to a budget that aligns with your long-term goals. Don’t shy away from thinking critically about your finances.
Gemini & Gemini Rising
This full moon is offering you a time to shine and let go of all of the insecurities that are holding you back from doing just that. You are becoming aware of the ways that you have hindered your own success or happiness, and finally realizing that accepting yourself fully means accepting both the lightness and the darkness. You are a multifaceted being that deserves to be seen and accepted for all of who you are. Let yourself be messy, imperfect, and unfinished. This is your time to leap into the next chapter of your life with confidence and fully embrace who you are.
Cancer & Cancer Rising
You have felt—and will always feel—an amplification during full moons, as the moon is your planetary ruler. But with this one in Gemini lighting up your 12th house, it is time to tap back into your faith and optimism and believe in a brighter day for yourself. You are closing out an important chapter and finally realizing the ways that you created your own pain in the past. By taking some time alone to reflect under this full moon, you will grant yourself permission to let go of your past once and for all, and start living with both feet in the present moment. Your ability to transmute your challenges into badges of honor is admirable. But imagine a life where you weren’t defined by your past—even more admirable!
Leo & Leo Rising
What a time to be alive! You are being given the opportunity to connect with interesting and inspiring people under this full moon in Gemini. As your 11th house of groups, community, hopes, and wishes is activated, ask yourself, Who do I want to be in the world? Then take one small step toward that vision. This moon is granting you a “cheat code” to seize that opportunity. You will start to see evidence of this dream coming to life in the form of a conversation, email, sign, or phone call. There is someone who will play a major role in your success that simply wasn’t ready before, but now is the time for you to collaborate and move into the version of your reality that you’ve always hoped for.
Virgo & Virgo Rising
You are a powerhouse, and other people are going to be giving you the flowers you deserve! With your 10th house of career, reputation, and long-term goals being illuminated by the full moon in Gemini, you are getting an extra dose of confidence that will allow the opportunities you desire in your career to materialize. There is no longer a gaping hole between where you are and where you want to be, and that should be evidence enough that your hard work has finally paid off! Others are recognizing your talent and magnetism in a new way. You might have the chance to be featured, get a promotion, collaborate with someone you admire, or level up your reputation in a major way. Stay open to the best possible outcome, Virgo!
Libra & Libra Rising
You will have the opportunity to dive deeply into the belief systems that you hold around yourself, other people, and the world at large. The full moon in Gemini is lighting up your ninth house of travel, wisdom, and higher education, asking you to travel outside of your everyday reality and find some knowledge in the lived experience of someone else. You could start getting involved in causes that you care about, studying to change your career path later on, or simply learning more about yourself and life as a whole. The more you learn, the less you fear about the unknown. You could also be traveling or planning upcoming travel during this time to somewhere you haven’t been before. Instead of handling a fun, new opportunity with stress and confusion, try to give yourself the chance to get excited about this trip and remind yourself: “I deserve good things.”
Scorpio & Scorpio Rising
With your eighth house of intimacy, endings, and mystery being illuminated by this Gemini full moon, you are feeling ready to release the blockages and barriers to your heart so that you can let love in. You’ve been playing the same mind games and trickery, but instead of keeping your current (or potential) partner at bay energetically, now is the time to figure out what you’re afraid of when it comes to true intimacy and closeness with another person. The more you’re willing to dive into your fears, past pain, and negative beliefs, the quicker love can finally find you. Wherever we have our deepest resistance, we also have an opportunity to do our deepest healing.
Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising
The full moon is clearing out pessimism and replacing it with passion. This is the time to bring love and romance into your life and feel that flame ignited in your heart again. Whether you’re with someone or flying solo, it seems that the opportunity for romance exists, but it requires you to open yourself up in order to feel it. This could look like running yourself a bubble bath, lighting candles, listening to your favorite music, indulging in self-massage, putting on a sexy outfit (even if you’re planning to stay home!), and really finding the magic that exists in your daily experiences. There is no shortage of beauty all around you; even the opportunity to hold the door for someone else or strike up a conversation with a neighbor gives you the chance to change your life. Let yourself notice how much love and beauty exists already in your life in order to call forward even more of it.
Capricorn & Capricorn Rising
You are going to feel motivated to make changes in your daily routine, Capricorn. There is a chance that this full moon is going to rock your world in an unexpected way and make you focus more on your overall health and well-being. Whether that means getting more sleep, changing up your skin care routine, or finding a diet that works intuitively with you and your body, you are realizing that you are your first priority. Now is the time to treat yourself that way! Give yourself the chance to reassess whether your relationship to exercise, health, and self-care is aligned with you, simply aligned with trends, or missing altogether. The goal isn’t to be perfect; it’s to perfect the process and listen to your body. The more you treat yourself with care and love, the more others will feel inspired to treat you that way as well.
Aquarius & Aquarius Rising
When the full moon arrives you might feel a little friskier than normal. Your fifth house of romance, sex, self-expression, and joy is being lit up by this Gemini full moon, giving you a chance to redefine what it is that brings you joy and pleasure. You are being given an opportunity to bring your heart’s truest desires to light and ask for what you want—in and out of the bedroom. This new, voracious, and exciting time will give you permission to redefine who you are and what you want out of life without the fear of judgment. This could also be a great time to pick up a new hobby or let go of thinking that you’ll find your way back to an old hobby as a form of addiction to your limitations. If you’ve been saying you were going to get back into learning a new language for years but you actually want to try karate class, now is the time to shelf the old desire in order to make room for the new one to actualize.
Pisces & Pisces Rising
Your ties to family and close friends are being illuminated as the full moon in Gemini arrives and graces your fourth house. The roots you have are what has made you who you are, but they don’t define who you will become. By letting go of familial limitations, you give yourself the chance to become your own person. Allow yourself to step outside of the box that your family of origin may have created for you, and explore the wild unknown of who you are and what role you will play in your lineage. It’s great to honor your traditions and where you came from, but don’t let that stop you from becoming your fullest and unique self as you journey through the world. Use the energy of this full moon to blend who you were back then and who you are becoming in order to find a balance in the ever-present now. You are who you are, but you are also allowed to become more of your true self as time goes on.
