Full Moon November 2022 Meaning
Like a regular Full Moon, only stronger, the Sun opposite the Moon of a Lunar Eclipse brings your home, family, and intimate relationships into sharper focus. And the Lunar Eclipse November 2022 astrology is powerful because this is a Total Lunar Eclipse.
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. But a Lunar Eclipse represents a resetting of your emotions, clearing away the emotional baggage of the previous six months.
The lunar qualities of emotions and instincts peak at a Full Moon. So use your increased emotional strength and intuition to overcome any relationship challenges. Subconscious awareness allows for an impartial and balanced look at your relationships. You will see more clearly any relationship dynamics or negative feelings causing disharmony.
Lunar Eclipse November 2022 Aspects
The planetary aspects below are listed in order of strength: Mercury > Uranus > Saturn.
Mercury
Full Moon opposite Mercury makes it harder to understand your feelings and to share them. Scrambled or polarized thinking can make it challenging to find inner balance and relax. It can also make it harder to make sense of everyday problems.
Arguments are possible because of emotional bias or a simple lack of understanding. Other symptoms can include confusion, anxiety, prejudice, racism, and addiction. Extra care needs to be taken with negotiations, critical decisions, and sensitive discussion topics.
Uranus
Full Moon conjunct Uranus begins radical changes, a strong need for independence, emotional volatility and erratic behavior. You may feel impatient, restless, anxious, impulsive, or rebellious. Sudden events may result in relationship upsets, family disputes, or a significant change in direction regarding close relationships.
The November 2022 Lunar Eclipse with Uranus heightens your intuition and can bring psychic awareness and flashes of insight. However, the Moon is opposite the Sun and Mercury and square Saturn. So your intuition may be unreliable and influenced by fears and pessimism.
Mercury opposite Uranus increases the speed of life with more errands, interactions and surprises. A low concentration span and a tendency to be easily distracted can complicate communications. Rushed and scattered thinking could lead to mistakes and accidents.
So take extra care to listen and try not to speak before thinking. Otherwise, arguments and conflict are possible. Making plans, negotiating business deals, or attending to any mental tasks which require patience and self-discipline become more complicated.
Flexibility and adaptability are essential. Plans may need changing because of unexpected events, technology breakdowns or travel interruptions. You could meet stimulating people who challenge your thinking. Increased open-mindedness can lead to exciting opportunities.
Saturn
Full Moon square Saturn has a restricting and depressing influence that makes it harder to share your feelings. Tests, challenges and heavy responsibilities can lead to pessimism, loss and disappointment. This Full Moon November 2022 astrology aspect may result in sadness, loneliness, guilt, shame or grief.
Unhealthy or codependent relationships involving abuse or addiction may end. Even apparently normal relationships can suffer from emotional coldness, moodiness, nagging or bullying. Hard work, patience, persistence and a responsible attitude will reduce the risk of such adverse outcomes.
Mercury square Saturn makes communicating your plans and ideas more difficult because of negative thinking and misunderstandings. Gloomy thoughts, bad news, or loneliness can negatively affect your mental well-being. Arguments, criticism and meanness are possible. There may be some distance or separation in close relationships.
Patience and attention to detail are needed. Do not rely on the words of others, and be careful with your own. Take your time with important decisions and negotiations. Seek trusted, professional advice in contracts, business, or legal matters.
Saturn square Uranus is waning and almost finished. But this activation by a Total Lunar Eclipse will extend the fear and uncertainty about the future for at least six more months. This significant aspect has coincided with millions of deaths, curtailment of freedom, and political and financial instability because of the pandemic. We can expect more restrictions, natural disasters, severe changes, and unexpected setbacks.
Full Moon November 2022 T-Square
The red triangle in the Lunar Eclipse November 2022 astrology chart is termed a T-Square or an Achievement Triangle. [1] With only red aspects, it is charged with energy. Red promotes action, achievement, and the attainment of goals.
With no blue aspects, there is no possibility for relaxation. With no green aspects, one acts without thinking. T-Squares promote an “act first, think later” mentality and not the other way around, which means that mistakes can be easily made.
Energy is stored and bottled up in the oppositions. Sun-Mercury opposite Moon-Uranus creates very erratic, unstable and impulsive energy. It is discharged along the squares towards the apex of the T-square. With Saturn at the apex, the goal is to achieve stability and security.
However, applying too much discipline and restriction to restore order will result in unsuccessful energy transfers leading to rigid states of awareness. An inability to adapt to change will result in the same mistakes being made repeatedly.
Lunar Eclipse November 2022 Constellations
The Full Moon Lunar Eclipse of November 2022 is in the Sign of Taurus. But as the star map below shows, it is actually in the Constellation of Aries. This discrepancy is due to the precession of the equinoxes. It has moved the Sun Signs almost a whole Sign out of alignment with the Constellations from which they were named over 2000 years ago. The Zodiac was invented initially only as a measuring device. Astrologers had always used the visible constellation and their stars for astrological interpretation.

The Sea Monster
Constellation Cetus is said to cause laziness and idleness but to confer an emotional and charitable nature, with the ability to command, especially in war. Makes one amiable, prudent, and happy by sea and land and helps to recover lost goods. [2]
Fixed star Menkar causes disease, disgrace, ruin, injury from beasts, sickness, and loss of fortune. [1] It has a Saturnine character, corresponding to impediments of many kinds, worries, and tests of endurance; in some, this hardens and toughens the individual. [3]
With Moon: Mental anxiety, hatred of the vulgar, ill-will of women, danger from thieves, sickness to native and family, loss of marriage partner or near relative, quarrels, legal losses, legacies and inheritances attended by much evil. [2]
Full Moon November 2022 Summary
The November 2022 Full Moon is more powerful than a regular Full Moon because it is a Total Lunar Eclipse. And this is a particularly powerful Eclipse. The totality of the November 8 Lunar Eclipse lasts 86 minutes which is well above average. It is the longest Total Lunar Eclipse until June 2029.
Mercury opposite Uranus aligning so closely with Sun opposite Moon adds to the power and intensity of this Lunar Eclipse. It will make people anxious, erratic and unpredictable. With Saturn at the apex of a T-Square, much effort will be needed to maintain order and stability. But the very nature of Mercury opposite Uranus and the T-square means mistakes will be made.
Mercury is the most potent planetary influence on the November 2022 Lunar Eclipse astrology. It rules trade and currencies. The lunar eclipse aligned with Mercury opposite Uranus will make the financial markets unpredictable and erratic with big swings. And the square to Saturn suggests they will be on the downside. Business partners may be unreliable, and many deals will fall through. Trade may be interrupted or restricted. There will be bankruptcies, job losses, foreclosures and a global recession.
Mercury also rules thinking. Chaotic change and unexpected bad news will continue to make people scared and uncertain about the future. Election day in the USA could see changes favoring conservatives or based on fear. With the eclipse conjunct with a Saturn-like star and Saturn at the apex of the T-square, there is a risk of negative thinking turning into a depression.
Eclipse Phases
Astrologically, a full moon is influenced by the preceding new moon. The October 25 Solar Eclipse creates uncertainty and dissatisfaction related to love and money. Important decisions about what makes you truly happy and content must be made.
The influence of the October 25 Solar Eclipse combines with that of the November 8 Lunar Eclipse. They form an eclipse phase that lasts about six months up to the Solar Eclipse on April 20, 2023.
