The November Beaver Moon — Grounding and Gratitude

As the days grow shorter and the air begins to cool, November’s Beaver Moon rises in Taurus. Traditionally, this was the time when beavers prepared their lodges for winter. Spiritually, it’s a reminder for us to do the same — to tend to what sustains us, to get grounded, and to nurture the parts of our lives that bring comfort and peace.

This month’s full moon is also a SuperMoon, sitting closer to the Earth and carrying a powerful energy that heightens awareness and emotion. Taurus energy is all about stability, beauty, and self-worth, making this full moon an ideal time to slow down, center yourself, and focus on what truly matters.

In Native American tradition, the beaver represents family, community, and building a solid foundation. This symbolism beautifully mirrors the energy of Taurus — an Earth sign that values strength, consistency, and comfort. Taurus reminds us that real growth happens when we feel safe, supported, and connected to the things that ground us.

As Shaman Jeff says, “This moon reminds us to return to the things that strengthen our foundation — our family, our faith, our connection to the Earth, and the love that holds it all together.”

This month's full Beaver Moon invites us to pause and take inventory of our lives. It’s a natural moment to ask where we feel secure and where we could use more balance. The energy of Taurus encourages us to ground ourselves in the present moment — to appreciate simple pleasures, connect with nature, and trust in our own resilience.

Shaman Jeff suggests taking a few quiet minutes to reflect on these questions:

• What brings me comfort and stability? 

• Where can I let go of unnecessary stress or clutter?

• What do I want to strengthen before the year ends?

This moon reminds us that slowing down isn’t a sign of stopping — it’s how we realign with our natural rhythm.

The energy of this full moon pairs beautifully with crystals that promote grounding, emotional healing, and peace. A few of our favorites for this Beaver Moon:

Rose Quartz - soft and nurturing, it opens the heart to compassion and acceptance. It helps ease emotional tension and encourages you to love yourself as deeply as you love others. During the full moon, hold a piece over your heart and breathe deeply, allowing its gentle vibration to remind you that self-love is a sacred act of care.

Chrysocolla - known for its calming blue-green color, Chrysocolla brings soothing energy and helps clear emotional blockages. It’s a wonderful stone for communication and for finding peace in times of change. Keep it near your throat or carry it with you during this moon cycle to encourage calm, honest expression and inner steadiness.

Smoky Quartz - is one of the best crystals for grounding and protection. Its energy helps release negative thoughts and tension while restoring balance and calm. It connects you deeply to the Earth, reminding you that you are supported and safe. Keep it by your feet during meditation or hold it while you reflect on what you’re ready to release under the full moon.

As Shaman Jeff says, *“This full moon is an invitation to reconnect with the things that bring comfort and peace. It reminds us to ground our energy, honor our routines, and trust the quiet wisdom of the Earth.

Take a moment to pause under the moonlight. Breathe deeply. Feel the stability beneath your feet. This is the perfect time to center yourself, release what no longer serves you, and find gratitude in the stillness of the season.

And don’t forget to place your crystals under the full moon energy this evening. Let them soak in the light, recharge, and carry the grounding strength of the Beaver Moon into the days ahead.”*
