November 5 is the Beaver Super Moon

 

The Beaver Moon on 5 November falls under the zodiac sign Taurus / Scorpio region depending on exact timing and your local horizon — full moons often fall opposite the Sun — for this month, it will be tied to Scorpio season in many astrological charts.

A supermoon is a full moon (or sometimes a new moon) that appears larger and brighter than usual in the night sky.

This happens because the Moon’s orbit around Earth is not a perfect circle—it’s slightly elliptical. That means sometimes the Moon is closer to Earth (perigee) and sometimes it’s farther away (apogee).

When a full moon coincides with perigee, the Moon can appear:

• Up to 14% larger in apparent size

• About 30% brighter than when it’s at its farthest point

In simple terms:

A supermoon is a full moon that’s extra close to Earth, so it looks bigger and brighter than an average full moon.

Fun facts:

• The term “supermoon” was first popularized by an astrologer, Richard Nolle, in 1979.

• Astronomers often call it a perigee-syzygy—“syzygy” meaning the alignment of the Sun, Earth, and Moon.

• There are usually 3–4 supermoons per year.

Scientific Effects of a Supermoon

When the Moon is closer to Earth, its gravitational pull is stronger. This affects the tides more than usual:

• 🌊 Higher high tides (called perigean spring tides)

• 🌊 Lower low tides

• Sometimes coastal areas experience minor flooding or unusually strong tidal currents.

So, while it looks magical, a supermoon can have very real effects on Earth’s oceans!

Supermoons in Folklore and Spiritual Beliefs

In many cultures, the full moon is already a symbol of illumination, completion, and heightened energy. When it’s a supermoon, that energy is believed to be magnified — as if the Moon’s power is closer to Earth and our spirits.

Here are a few common beliefs:

• Witches and pagans often view a supermoon as a time of strong manifestation and magical potency. Rituals, spellwork, and moon water are thought to be especially powerful.

•  It’s seen as a moment of release and renewal — perfect for letting go of what no longer serves you and charging crystals or tools.

• Some spiritual traditions see it as a time of heightened emotions and intuition, when psychic sensitivity or dream activity can increase.

•  In astrology, a supermoon’s energy is believed to amplify the influence of the zodiac sign it falls under — for example, a Super Full Moon in Scorpio might bring intense emotional healing and transformation
