November 2025 Lunar Calendar for Europe & America
🌙 Monthly Overview
November 2025 brings a time of transition and reflection on both sides of the Atlantic. As the Sun slides toward the Winter Solstice, days grow shorter, the air turns crisp, and our focus shifts inward. The Moon this month reflects that energy perfectly — a journey from intensity and release to renewal and planning.
The beginning of November opens under a waxing Moon, full of potential and movement. Around mid-month, the Full Beaver Moon shines brightly, a symbol of preparation for the cold months ahead. After that, the waning phase invites introspection, closure, and letting go of what’s no longer needed. By the time of the New Moon on November 20, a new energetic cycle begins, pushing us toward clarity and goal-setting.
Across regions, the influence differs slightly due to time-zone shifts: Europe experiences lunar peaks in the late afternoon or evening, while in the United States they occur early in the morning. Regardless of where you are, this lunar rhythm reminds us to stay balanced between action and stillness.

The Meaning of the Beaver Moon
The November Full Moon, known as the Beaver Moon, originates from Native American and early European seasonal traditions. It marked the time when beavers built their winter dams and when hunters set traps before rivers froze. Symbolically, it represents preparation, diligence, and protection — the final act before deep winter.
Spiritually, it’s about building your “inner shelter”: protecting emotional energy, conserving strength, and grounding yourself. It’s a great time to organize your space, save money, and secure long-term plans.
In 2025, the Beaver Moon rises in the sign of Taurus, bringing an earthy tone — perfect for re-evaluating stability, comfort, and finances. Expect strong emotions but also determination to build something lasting.
🌬️ Weather & Space Influence
According to long-range forecasts from the Met Office UK and NOAA, November 2025 will feature:
- Cooler-than-average temperatures across Northern Europe and the Northeast U.S.
- Higher precipitation during the first half of the month.
- Two moderate geomagnetic storms forecasted near November 10–12 and November 25 — possible aurora sightings at higher latitudes.
These cosmic and terrestrial factors amplify sensitivity. Around magnetic storms or cold fronts, you may feel fatigue or emotional swings — take it easy during those days, especially near the Last Quarter Moon.
🧭 Practical Guidance by Phase
Waxing Phase (1–4 Nov & 21–30 Nov):
Boost your motivation and physical energy. Great for creative work, fitness, business networking, or social growth. Schedule meetings or launches during this time.
Full Moon (5 Nov):
Don’t push too hard — emotions can overwhelm logic. Instead, express gratitude, journal your accomplishments, or release fears that no longer serve you.
Waning Phase (6–19 Nov):
The perfect detox window. Sort through your space, finalize paperwork, or clear your digital life. Excellent for therapy, rest, and mental clarity.
New Moon (20 Nov):
Write a “manifestation list.” Keep it simple — 3–5 clear intentions. This Moon supports new routines, financial planning, and emotional healing.
🌎 Regional Highlights
Europe:
Expect the Full Moon visible late afternoon or early evening (around 2–3 PM CET at peak). Evening sky watching is ideal. This period aligns with strong creative and introspective energies — perfect for ending work projects before the holidays.
United States:
The Full Moon peaks mid-morning (8:19 AM EST) — visible just before dawn. Excellent for early risers and photographers. New Moon energy arrives before sunrise on the 20th, making it ideal for quiet planning or morning meditation.
🔮 Emotional & Energetic Tone
- First Week: Determined yet emotional — use discipline to balance creative bursts.
- Second Week: Release and reorganize — remove chaos from your schedule.
- Third Week: Quiet reflection, introspection, rest.
- Fourth Week: New enthusiasm, renewed focus, confident movement forward.
Be aware of how lunar energy interacts with your mood and physical well-being. For highly sensitive individuals, sleep patterns may shift around the Full Moon and magnetic storm days.
🧘 Tips for Working with November’s Lunar Energy
- Ground yourself — spend time outdoors, especially near trees or water.
- Cleanse your space — burn sage, open windows, or simply declutter.
- Keep a moon journal — note feelings, productivity, and dreams during each phase.
- Plan around energy peaks: launch or decide during waxing phases; rest during waning.
- Meditate during the New Moon — visualize the upcoming winter as a season of quiet strength.
✨ Summary
November 2025 is a powerful month of balance, introspection, and preparation. The Beaver Moon on November 5 highlights themes of protection and readiness, while the New Moon on November 20 opens the door to a new chapter.
Whether you’re in Europe, watching the moonrise over autumn forests, or in America, greeting dawn under a silver sky — this month encourages you to slow down, appreciate progress, and plant seeds for the coming year.
The Moon is your silent coach — reflecting when to push and when to pause. Align with it, and November 2025 will become a month not of darkness, but of renewed focus, grounding, and hope.
