The figures
At 23:18 UTC on Friday, November 28, 2031 the Moon reaches 6°31' Gemini with the Sun opposite at 6°31' Sagittarius. The distance is 395,335 km, 10,935 km further out than the 384,400 km average — near enough to the mean that the apparent size is unremarkable. The degree, 6°31' Gemini, places it in the first decan of Gemini, on the axis that runs across to Sagittarius. It is the 23rd of the 25 lunations dated for 2031, and the cycle it belongs to is set out in what a lunation is.

Why it is called the Beaver Moon
The Beaver Moon is the traditional North American and European name for the full Moon of November, and in 2031 it falls on November 28, 2031 at 6°31' Gemini. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2031 one lands in Gemini at 6°31' Gemini while other years put it elsewhere.
