Full Moon – Friday, 19th November

The November Full Moon, known as the Beaver Moon, will also be accompanied by a partial lunar eclipse that will be visible from the United States, Canada and Mexico (essentially all of North and South America), as well as Australia and parts of Europe and Asia. It will last six hours and peak at 09.02am (GMT). Therefore the Moon will look it’s fullest on Thursday evening.

Full Moon names date back to Native Americans of North America. There was some variation in the Full Moon names, but in general, the same ones were consistent among regional tribes – those who rely on full moon periods to track crops and harvest.

This was the time to set beaver traps before the swamps froze, to ensure a supply of warm winter furs. Another interpretation suggests that the name Full Beaver Moon comes from the fact that the beavers are now actively preparing for winter.

According to ancient legend, humans will turn into wolves on a Wednesday or Friday when sleeping outdoors on the night of the Full Moon.
He will turn into a wolf when the light of the moon shines on his face. Thankfully, the scientists have disproved this πŸ™‚
