As we move into the quieting days of autumn, the skies welcome the New Moon in October — traditionally called the Beaver Moon. This year, it begins on October 21, 2025, marking the perfect time for reflection, planning, and intentional living.
Why “Beaver Moon”?
The name “Beaver Moon” dates back to early North American traditions. Indigenous communities and European settlers alike used this term to signal the time when beavers prepared for the winter by building and repairing their lodges. It was also a time when people laid in supplies and prepared for the colder season ahead. Symbolically, it’s about preparation, resourcefulness, and building foundations for the future.
The Power of the New Moon
New Moons invite us into beginnings, fresh starts, and seed planting. Unlike the illumination of the full moon, this lunar phase is about quiet intention, rest, and creating space. The Beaver Moon’s energy encourages us to consider what we’re preparing for, not just in our homes but also in our relationships, work, and inner lives.
This is an ideal moment to:
• Clear physical clutter to welcome fresh energy.
• Reassess what is truly necessary and let go of distractions.
• Strengthen connections with those around you through mindful communication.
• Align your goals with your authentic self.
