Full Moon November 2023 in Gemini

The Full Moon in Gemini on November 27, 2023, is opposite Mars. So, the meaning of the Full Moon in November 2023 astrology is focusing your passion and energy on your goals through hard work to avoid irritation, anger and impulsive actions.

The November 2023 Full Moon is also square Saturn, which indicates frustration and blocked ambitions. This is a challenging moon phase. Patience, self-discipline and flexibility are needed to avoid reckless behavior, instability and conflict.

Full Moon November 2023 Horoscope

The Full Moon on Monday, November 27, 2023, is at 04°51′ Gemini. As the Full Moon horoscope below shows, the Moon opposite Mars and square Saturn creates a red triangle called a T-square aspect pattern.

Another significant influence on the November 2023 Full Moon astrology is Mercury square Neptune. These are all harsh red aspects that indicate a challenging Moon phase. This is reinforced by the alignment of the Moon with a difficult fixed star at 06°08′ Gemini.

Full Moon November 2023 Horoscope

Full Moon November 2023 Astrology

Sun opposite Moon brings your home, family, and intimate relationships into sharper focus for the following two weeks of this moon phase. Opposing forces, such as work versus home or what you need versus what you want, create inner tension and external pressures. This can lead to conflict and crises that drain your energy.

The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts climax during the November 2023 Full Moon. So, use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an honest and balanced look at your relationships. You will see any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.

Full Moon Aspects

A Full Moon opposite Mars brings irritability, impulsiveness and emotional volatility. Anger and impatience can lead to arguments, fights or accidents. The best way to avoid conflict and violence is to channel your energy into physical or competitive activities like hard work, exercise, sports and sex.

You may feel a strong urge to fulfill your most passionate desires. However, selfish or vindictive motives could backfire. Better results may come from standing up for your family, fighting for a just cause or defending the vulnerable.

The Full Moon square Saturn creates tests and challenges due to the restriction of emotions. It makes it harder to share your feelings and to empathize with others. Sadness, loneliness, guilt, and shame are possible as you are reminded of past relationship failures, loss, and grief.

Take responsibility for your emotional reactions. Blaming others for bad moods will only worsen matters and risk cherished relationships. Unhealthy or codependent relationships involving abuse or addiction may end. Even apparently normal relationships can suffer from emotional coldness, criticism or bullying.

Mars square Saturn indicates frustration and inhibition. Your desires and needs may grow stronger, yet your ambitions are blocked by an authority figure or a lack of energy, resources or time. Poor judgment, a negative attitude, criticism or bullying can delay progress.

A defensive position, compromise or retreat may be the best option. Instead of starting new projects or chasing your desires, save your energy to hold onto what you already have. Patience and plodding hard work will get you there.

November 2023 Full Moon T-square

T-square Achievement

A T-square aspect pattern is created by the Full Moon, Mars and Saturn. This red triangle is charged with energy. It makes you very active and achievement-oriented, wanting to reach your goals quickly.

However, T-squares also make it impossible to relax and more challenging to work continuously. They can cause a rigid outlook, an inability to change and a tendency to “act first and think later”. This means that mistakes can be made very easily and repeatedly.

The best way to handle a T-square is to be flexible and dynamic. Break your work into smaller parts so you can work like crazy and finish them quickly. After a break, you can return to work with renewed vigor.

The T-squares apex and the planet that lies there indicate where the achievement is directed and which planetary principle is used. With a Saturn apex, the achievement is directed toward duty, career, stability, structure and long-term security. It is done with patience, discipline, responsibility, dedication and practicality.

Full Moon Confusion

Mercury square Neptune can cause confusion, disorientation, misinformation, deception and scheming. So be very clear and concise, and don’t make snap judgments. Seek trusted or professional advice if signing contracts or dealing with legal matters.

Avoid conspiracy theories, cults, drugs, and alcohol. Better ways to escape reality include daydreaming, listening to music and watching movies.

The Constellations

Full Moon November 2023 is in the Sign of Gemini. But as the star map below shows, it is located in the Constellation Taurus. The Signs and the Constellations do not match up. Over the last 2000 years, the Constellations have moved nearly 30° out of alignment with the Signs because of the precession of the equinoxes.

The Zodiac was invented only as a measuring device. The ecliptic line in the image below matches the degrees in the Full Moon horoscope above. Like the original astrologers, I use the Constellations and fixed stars for interpretation, not the Signs.

Full Moon November 2023 [Stellarium]

The closest major fixed star to the November 27 Full Moon (04♊51) is Gamma Tauri (06♊08). It is part of the Hyades star cluster in the face of the Bull. Officially named Prima Hyadum, it is also called Hyadum I.

Ptolemy said the stars in the head of the Bull are like Saturn and Mercury. Prima Hyadum has the spectral type K0, indicating the planetary nature of Mars. Either way, this is a challenging fixed star.

Full Moon in the Hyades

Fixed star Prima Hyadum gives tears, sudden events, violence, fierceness, poisoning, blindness, wounds or injuries to the head by instruments, weapons or fevers, and contradictions of fortune. ^[1]

This star also creates scandalous actions, sudden changes, martial preferment, unbridled statements or writings, secret bad habits and judicial sentences. ^[2]

The influence of the Hyades is that of a staggering increase of sexual urge and self-preservation, which could lead to greediness, sexuality, a dissolute life, excessive and licentious ways, and a striving for prestige leading to power politics. If this tendency is bridled, an increase in the positive sense can lead to tremendous success in life.

When the pinnacle of the career is reached, the danger appears that the inherent nature may come again to the fore and may, if uncontrolled, lead to failure and fall from power. With a connection to the Hyades, it is doubly important that power and strength must not be used to exploit other human beings. ^[3]

With Moon: Tactful, fair ability, difficulties connected with writings, may forge the name of employer or friend but finally escape punishment and retain position, liable to sickness and disgrace, the danger of blindness or eye injuries. ^[1]

Mentally active, can be diplomatic when it suits, not too careful to substantiate statements or claims with known facts. High advancement in science and other matters, mainly dealing with the public. There is the possibility of violence and of becoming ‘involved’ unnecessarily. ^[2]

Generally, the Moon in Taurus Constellation gives steady emotions with a determined, conservative and ambitious nature. However, the harsh aspects of this Full Moon could make you very stubborn, too conservative, sensual and fun-loving, overly possessive, smug, arrogant, grasping, jealous and possessive. ^[2]

Full Moon November 2023 Meaning

The strongest influence on the Full Moon in November 2023 astrology comes from the Moon opposite Mars. It brings passionate desires but also irritability, impulsiveness and emotional volatility. The star in the Hyades increases sexual desire and the risk of accidents and violence.

A square to Saturn restricts self-expression and delays the attainment of desires and goals, causing frustration and sadness. The ability for sustained effort is hampered by Mars square Saturn and the T-square aspect pattern.

The Moon square Saturn reinforces the stubbornness and rigidity of the Full Moon in Taurus constellation. So, regulating your energy and focusing on achieving your goals with patience and self-discipline is essential. This is also indicated by Saturn at the apex of the T-square.

The confusing and deceptive influence of Mercury square Neptune must also be considered. It significantly impacts the Full Moon astrology because it is an applying aspect with an orb of only 0°13′.

Deliberate or unintentional miscommunication will exacerbate the frustration and anger caused by the T-square. This increases the risk of impulsive actions, conflict and violence, particularly of domestic violence.

Moon Phases

The influence of the November 27 Full Moon lasts for two weeks up to the December 12 New Moon. Astrologically, a Full Moon is influenced by the preceding New Moon. The November 13 New Moon aligned with Mars. So, like the Full Moon, it encourages you to harness your energy through hard work to achieve your goals.

But the New Moon was also opposite Uranus. This creates a struggle to control aggressive and impulsive urges. So again, like the Full Moon, patience, self-discipline and flexibility are needed to avoid reckless behavior, instability and conflict.
