Strictly speaking, the full moon will reach its peak on Monday, November 27, 2023 at 10:16 a.m. Then the sun, Earth and moon are in a line, with the sun and moon facing each other, so that the side of the moon facing the earth observer is completely illuminated and the moon is visible in its entirety.
Full moon every 29.5 days
In Austria, the full moon always creates a particularly impressive natural spectacle in the night sky. A complete cycle of lunar phases lasts approximately 29 days, 12 hours and 43 minutes, meaning a new full moon occurs a maximum of every 29.5 days.
Many people align everyday activities such as cutting hair, cleaning windows or gardening with the phases of the moon, while others sleep worse during a full moon. From a scientific point of view, however, these connections with the moon are sometimes viewed with skepticism.
“Month” comes from “moon”
Interestingly, the word “month” is derived from the term “moon”. The date of Easter is determined by the full moon, and the term “harvest moon” indicates that the full moon once served as a useful source of light at harvest time. The moon was generally an important pacesetter for annual events.
Native people spoke of Beaver Moon
The full moon in November is named differently in different cultures. Native Americans called it the “Beaver Moon,” named after the beavers that were captured in late fall to prepare for the harsh winter. This time marked the beginning of the frost period and the anticipation of winter. In the cold northern regions, people laid traps to catch beavers and collect enough pelts for the winter.
Romantics appreciate the misty moon
In Central Europe, the November full moon is known as the “Fog Moon”. This name comes from the fact that fog often forms in autumn. The moon, diffusely illuminated by the fog, offers a very special atmosphere that is particularly appreciated by romantics. The November full moon is also known as the “wind moon” or “frost moon”, while the full moon in December is popularly known as the “Yule moon” or “cold moon”.
According to the lunar calendar, our emotional balance can be shaken when the moon moves through the zodiac sign Gemini. In such phases, people often feel uncharacteristically distracted and a little unworldly because their subconscious is on uncertain ground.
