The full moon of Nov 12 (5:34 am) has got courage and determination to shine through dark times. If you’re ready for greater prosperity, fulfillment, or just something more true to yourself, now’s the time to renew your vision. A big step forward is around the corner.
The full moon is in the hard-working and industrious area of the sky called Bharani nakshatra, the star of “bearing,” or birthing. Bharani is symbolized by the yoni (womb/birth canal), but also by Yama the god of death and restraint. The great cycle of birth, life, and death are all played out in stubborn and tenacious Bharani, giving this full moon a special power to regenerate from loss and renew itself.
