The Full Moon of November 2026 is exact 24 Nov 2026, 14:53 UTC, the Moon at 2.3° Gemini opposite the Sun at 2.3° Sagittarius, not an eclipse. It is the first full moon since Mercury and Venus turned direct, and Mercury is still in its post-retrograde shadow until 30 Nov 2026. The Sun entered Sagittarius 22 Nov 2026, 07:23 UTC, 56 hours before; Mars enters Virgo 25 Nov 2026, 23:37 UTC, 33 hours after. In local terms 24 Nov, 09:53 EST for New York, 24 Nov, 14:53 GMT for London, 25 Nov, 01:53 AEDT for Sydney.

What this means for everyone
The first full moon after the turn
The Moon reaches 180° from the Sun at 14:53 UTC on 24 Nov 2026, at 2.3° Gemini — the root of the elongation on an hourly Swiss Ephemeris lattice, interpolated to the minute. It is not an eclipse; the Moon is 82.5° from the nodes. Its place in the year is what the tables make visible: Mercury and Venus both stationed direct in mid-November, so this is the first full moon in six weeks with both inner planets moving forward — though Mercury has not yet cleared the degrees it retraced; its post-retrograde shadow ends 30 Nov 2026, 06:11 UTC, and Venus's ends 15 Dec 2026. A culmination in the shadow of a review is a specific thing, and it is the same thing for everyone.
Bracketed by two ingresses
The Sun crossed into Sagittarius 22 Nov 2026, 07:23 UTC, 56 hours before the opposition, which is why the full moon falls in the first degrees of the Gemini–Sagittarius axis. Mars enters Virgo 25 Nov 2026, 23:37 UTC, 33 hours after it. Neither ingress is the full moon's doing — they are independent boundary crossings on the same daily lattice — but a lunation that lands between a solar ingress and a Mars ingress sits at a hinge of the month, and a month page can show the hinge where a lunation table shows only the date. The outer planets still retrograde at the instant are Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Gemini against Sagittarius
2.3° Gemini opposite 2.3° Sagittarius — the mutable air–fire axis, which the tradition reads as the near against the far — what is gathered from around against what is sought at a distance, the message against the meaning. A full moon early in a mutable sign is the axis at its most mobile, and in Mercury's own sign during Mercury's shadow the tradition's reading leans toward messages re-sent rather than new ones. That is a collective texture and belongs to the fortnight, not to anyone in particular.
The same axis, a different chart
A natal planet or angle within a degree or two of 2.3° of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius or Pisces — the mutable cross — takes an exact hard aspect from this full moon. A chart with nothing near those degrees gets the fortnight as weather. Which house the Moon lights depends on the birth time and place — the reason the handoff wants both rather than a date.
What the instrument claims
An instant, two degrees, an eclipse verdict, two ingress instants and two shadow dates, each computed and none of them read as a forecast.
For your chart specifically
The Moon is at 2.3° Gemini. Its exact contacts fall only on natal points near that degree of a mutable sign; the house it lights needs your birth time.
How this appears in Cosmic KPI
The calendar marks the full moon on its day with the degree; the day view lists which of your natal points it aspects, with the orb and the exact time in your zone, and Life Cycles shows the post-retrograde shadows still running.
Common questions
- When is the full moon in November 2026?
- 24 Nov 2026, 14:53 UTC — in local terms 24 Nov, 09:53 EST for New York, 24 Nov, 14:53 GMT for London, 25 Nov, 01:53 AEDT for Sydney.
- What sign is the November 2026 full moon in?
- Gemini, at 2.3° Gemini, opposite the Sun at 2.3° Sagittarius. It is sometimes called the Beaver Moon in the traditional naming. Tropical degrees; a sidereal table has the same Moon in Taurus.
- Is the November 2026 full moon an eclipse?
- No — at 82.5° from the nodes it is well outside the limit. The next eclipse of any kind is 6 Feb 2027, 15:59 UTC, annular solar, at 17.6° Aquarius.
- Is Mercury still retrograde at the November 2026 full moon?
- No — it stationed direct 13 Nov 2026, 15:56 UTC at 5.0° Scorpio. It is still in the post-retrograde shadow, re-crossing the degrees it retraced, until 30 Nov 2026, 06:11 UTC.
- When are the new moons before and after it?
- Before: 9 Nov 2026, 07:02 UTC at 16.8° Scorpio. After: 9 Dec 2026, 00:51 UTC at 16.9° Sagittarius. The next full moon is 24 Dec 2026, 01:28 UTC at 2.2° Cancer.
- Which house does this full moon fall in for me?
- Only a birth time and place can answer that; with them the app finds the house 2° Gemini falls in for you and dates each contact the full moon makes.
