The next full moon falls on 24 November 2026 at 14:53 UTC, in Gemini, and it is the Beaver Moon. That is 14 days from now.

Traditionally it marks culmination: what you started at the new moon is now visible, including the parts you would rather it weren't. It is a releasing phase, not a starting one.
