There are several moon phases in November 2021, including a new moon and a full moon. These are all viewed from Earth and are known as “lunar phases” because they appear as different shapes in the night sky.
The upcoming new moon is in Scorpio, which means it’s a great time to start something fresh and new. This will also be a time to reflect on how you want your relationships and personal life to develop in the coming year.
New Moon
The new moon is a time of renewal and reset. It’s also a great time to set intentions for the coming cycle.
The November 2021 new moon is in Scorpio, ruled by Pluto and Mars. This means that it’s very likely that you’ll experience some emotionally heavy cycles ending and some new ones beginning.
With the November 2021 new moon in Scorpio, it’s a good time to focus on transforming your relationships and friendships. If there are people in your life that drain your energy or aren’t good matches for you, this is a great time to cut them out of your circle.
Waxing Crescent
The waxing crescent phase is the first part of the Moon that gets illuminated by direct sunlight. The illuminated part grows larger and larger until it reaches a first quarter Moon, where it shrinks to the opposite half of the moon.
Spiritually, a waxing moon is a time to focus on your hopes and intentions. During this phase, you may start to realize what needs to change in your life and redirect your efforts accordingly.
Whether it’s tackling a home improvement project you’ve been putting off or starting an awkward conversation with your boss, this is the time to get moving on those things that are weighing on you. The energy is positive, motivating and supportive.
First Quarter
The first quarter phase, also known as the waxing crescent moon, starts on Monday November 1st and continues for 7 days. During this time, the illuminated side of the moon is gradually getting closer to the Earth and it will be visible throughout the night before setting just before sunrise.
In the northern hemisphere, the right half of the moon is illuminated and in the southern hemisphere the left half is lit. This is because the Moon is rotated around its axis in different ways depending on your location and your position on Earth.
Full Moon
The November 2021 full moon is called the Beaver Moon because it’s traditionally the season for beavers to prepare for winter, stocking food and establishing shelter. This month also includes a partial lunar eclipse, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.
This Full Moon and eclipse is an opportune time to take stock of your financial situation, especially if you’ve been struggling with a certain debt or spending habit that needs to be reined in. You might also want to consider making a regular donation to a charity you believe in.
Waning Gibbous
The Moon is in a waning gibbous phase this month, which means that the sunlit portion of the moon is decreasing. This phase begins just after the Full Moon and continues until the Third Quarter Moon.
The Moon is a natural satellite of the Earth, and its monthly cycle has been important in human culture since the beginning of time. It has been said that the Moon can help us focus on our goals and intentions, and also encourages a sense of flexibility and adjustment.
Last Quarter
The Moon is a celestial body that appears as different shapes in the sky at different’moon phases’. These ‘phases’ are based on the relative positions of the Moon, Earth and Sun in the moon’s orbit around the earth.
The moon can be seen at every phase except new moon, when it is invisible to us. The crescent, first quarter and full phases can be glimpsed during the day, while the daytime gibbous phases are best viewed before sunset.
Waning Crescent
Every night, a sliver of the Moon appears in the sky as a waxing crescent. This part of the Moon is illuminated by the Sun.
The light reaches its maximum during the Full Moon. The next night, the opposite half of the Moon is illuminated.
In almost all traditions, the Moon is a symbol of intuition, wisdom, birth and death. The waxing crescent phase symbolizes the beginning of a new cycle.
