You doing OK?
A lot has happened in the world over the past few weeks, making it important to take a temperature check on your physical and mental health. Now, the universe is here to give you a much-needed break.
It’s in the form of the Supermoon in Taurus. This full moon will make you hyper-aware that things can change suddenly, while also pushing you toward comfortable things, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta. Of course, it’s a lot more complex than that.

Here’s what you can expect from the Full Beaver Supermoon in Taurus, along with how it can impact your life going forward.
The Full Beaver Supermoon is going down on November 15. Just an astronomy recap: The moon goes through different phases each month and a full moon is when it’s a big circle in the sky.
This particular full moon’s name comes from a mix of Native American, Colonial American, and European sources.
The Full Beaver Supermoon gets its name because it tends to happen around the same time as when beavers start to take shelter in their lodges, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. It’s also historically when hunters would trap beavers for their pelts.
In astrology, each full moon is synced up with a particular astrological sign, creating its own special vibe that influences how you think and what you do. This full moon is in the sign of Taurus, which tends to focus on comfort and stability.
This full moon is a supermoon, which means it will be even stronger than your typical full moon, Page says.
At baseline, the Full Beaver Supermoon in Taurus is big on comfort and stability. Like, don’t be surprised to find yourself on a multi-night streak of curling up on your couch in your cosiest sweater with a glass of your favourite wine while re-watching Nobody Wants This. And honestly? Good for you.
But the planet Uranus is also in the mix, which will trigger some deep feelings.
‘It will remind you that everything can change suddenly,’ Page says. ‘This moon is so emotional.’ Go ahead and lean into that, whether it means spending some solid QT talking with your buddies or just taking some time to process all that you’ve been through lately.
That supermoon can also change the way you feel about things, which can be on a minor or major level. That could mean feeling like it’s time to mix up your go-to morning coffee order or deciding you need to look for a new job that makes you feel more fulfilled.
While that feels heavy, the Full Beaver Supermoon in Taurus isn’t all serious. Page says this is a very ‘sensual full moon,’ meaning that you’ll still find plenty of time to carve out quality one-on-one time with your partner or a new friend.
The full moon will impact all zodiac signs, but Page says that Taurus and Scorpio will feel it the most.
It’s easy to be so busy with everything you have going on that you don’t take time to focus on how you really feel. But the Full Beaver Supermoon in Taurus will remind you of how important it is to stay on top of your emotions and continue to check in with yourself to make sure you’re doing OK.
It’ll also help you to remember to take more downtime breaks here and there in the future. Meaning, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with deciding to spend a night in here and there.
Finally, being open to change and learning to pivot when the unexpected happens is an important life skill. Flexing that muscle now can go a long way toward helping you to deal with sudden change in the future.
The next full moon is on December 15, 2024, in the sign of Gemini. During this full moon, you’ll be all about socialising and doing things on the fly.
For now, listen to your feelings. It’s more than OK to have them.
