The full moon on Nov 15, culminating at 1:29 pm PST, burns the ties of the past and helps you to ground into a new reality. This high-energy full moon dissolves emotional and mental blocks, and opens new channels of creativity and clarity.
The full moon is in the area of the sky called Krittika nakshatra, “the star of fire,” which is symbolized by a sharp blade. This full moon cuts through the veil that separates truth from illusion, and allows you to see beyond your normal awareness.

This full moon also coincides with Saturn’s station direct — a rare and critical moment when Saturn, the Lord of Time, limitation, and deadlines, stands dead still. This cosmic tipping point can bring a new chapter in work and commitment, as well as breakthroughs in long-standing delays and frustrating stale mates.
An ancient Vedic deity named Agni enhance this moonlight with the purifying power of fire. Fire transforms and digests, and like a phoenix that rises from the ashes, ultimately brings new life.
In India, Krittika full moon is celebrated as the sacred Kartika Purnima. In Varanasi, it’s Deva Diwali, when thousands of pilgrims bathe in the holy river and light it up it with fire diyas.
To use this full moon’s energy, consider performing a fire ritual. Write down something you’d like to let go of, then burn it in a fireplace or with a candle. As the paper burns, visualize your words transforming and releasing into the flame. Use the purifying power of this full moon to cleanse crystals or any other sacred objects. This full moon can help you take the leap and make decisive actions.
