Happy full super-moon on 5 November at 13.19 UTC. This moon is called by the Algonquin nation and others, the Beaver Moon. It rises in stable, reliable Taurus and is the second of three super-moons of 2025 when the moon passes closest to the earth and so seems extra bright and large in the sky and beautifully orange.
Its light is unusually practical for a full moon, like the beaver preparing her lodge for the winter, illuminating endeavours for acquiring money, material security and lovely things, yes by taking a chance but one based on careful research and a large dose of the reality principle; favourable it is claimed, for the conception of a child especially if anxiety has caused problems and for bringing fertility in every way, for getting a lover to commit or for a major money-spinning venture that may take time to fulfil.
Time for the home and the family, not fretting about Christmas before Halloween is cleared from the shelves, rather enjoying the company of those we know well and the pleasure of being, not doing or planning feverishly. It is a month not to fritter away worrying if Aunty Joan really needs another scarf for Christmas and being pressurised into ordering your Christmas crackers today in case they run out mid-November; a time for walking, talking and enjoying the silence of candlelit evenings.
Use these moon energies to begin a gentle programme to help your energies flow harmoniously such as Tai Ch’i or yoga, for overcoming possessiveness and emotional blackmail in others, to make plans to gradually reduce debt and to protect possessions from those who borrow and never return.
November’s special colour is pink, her gems, rose quartz and emerald and her fragrances rose and apple blossom.
The angel of this full moon is Asmodel, angel of beauty surrounded by pink rays who helps us to create what is of worth in every sphere of our lives. She offers us persistence when the going is tough, patience, reliability and to value others mutual loyalty. The message of this moon is acknowledging your own beauty and worth and ignoring those who make you feel bad, guilty or over-responsible for their well-being.
Feeling tired, drained or inwardly resentful may not be your hormones or a sugar low but someone taking advantage of your good nature. For energy vampires have sugary sweet smiles, flattering words and make you feel that you are treading on the head of a baby rabbit if you say no to their intrusions or poor little me demands.
If you do doubt your own value or are in an environment where others constantly put you down, try this Asmodel ritual around the full moon and continue as the moon begins to wane to maintain the positive effects.
You will need
A mirror in which you can see your head and shoulders
Five pink candles along the base of the mirror so their light reflects in the mirror
The Spell:
On night 1 light the first left-hand candle as you stand behind the candles.
Gaze into the mirror saying Asmodel Angel of Radiance, Let my radiance grow, That others will respect me, Asmodel make this so.
Blow out the candle.
On night 2, light the original candle and the next candle to its right repeating the words.
On night 3 light three candles including the original ones repeating the words.
On night 4 add the fourth candle to the three already lit, repeating the words.
On night 5 when all five candles are alight say Asmodel, Angel of radiance, as these candles glow, may my radiance likewise to the world be shown, That I will shine - and respect and consideration be mine.
Blow out the candles and clap your hands saying, Light enter me, that I may walk through life radiantly.
Walk strong in your own beauty and your light.
Happy, happy moon.
