November 5, 2025: The Super Beaver Moon — Your Complete Guide
What Is the “Super Beaver Moon”?
On November 5, 2025, the night sky will showcase the Super Beaver Moon, the year’s closest and brightest full moon. A supermoon happens when the moon reaches its perigee (the closest point to Earth) and is full at the same time.
In 2025, this November full moon is part of a series of three consecutive supermoons in October, November, and December. The November event will appear larger and brighter than any other full moon that year, sitting roughly 221,800 miles (357,000 km) from Earth.
Names & Traditions: Beaver Moon, Hunter’s Moon & More
Traditionally, November’s full moon is called the Beaver Moon, a name rooted in Indigenous and colonial North American traditions marking the time when beavers build lodges and prepare for winter.
Because October 2025 hosts the Harvest Moon, the November 5 full moon also takes on the title Hunter’s Moon, as it’s the first full moon following the harvest. Thus, this event carries a dual identity — both Beaver Moon and Hunter’s Moon — making it rich with seasonal symbolism of preparation, protection, and renewal.
When & Where to See It
Peak illumination: 8:19 a.m. ET / 13:19 UTC on November 5.
Although the official peak occurs in daylight for some regions, the moon will appear stunningly full on the nights of November 4 and 5.
Best Viewing Tips
Find dark skies: Choose rural or wilderness areas far from city lights.
Aim for clear horizons: Watch moonrise or moonset for dramatic views.
Arrive early: The moon looks largest near the horizon thanks to the optical “moon illusion.”
Capture the moment: Use a tripod and long exposure for photographs; foreground elements (trees, water, mountains) create depth.
Astrological & Spiritual Significance
Full moons symbolize illumination, completion, and release. When it’s a supermoon, these effects feel magnified — emotionally, energetically, and symbolically.
Zodiac Energy: Taurus Full Moon
The November 2025 full moon falls in Taurus, an earth sign associated with grounding, stability, sensuality, and material abundance. Taurus energy encourages reflection on security, resources, and values — perfect for aligning practical goals with spiritual intentions.
Themes & Symbolism
Preparation & foundation: Like the beaver constructing its dam, build emotional and material stability.
Harvest & gratitude: Celebrate what you’ve achieved and release what no longer supports you.
Grounded manifestation: Earth energy favors steady progress toward long-term goals.
Illumination & awareness: Full moons reveal truths and patterns ready for acknowledgment or healing.
