As winter loosens its grip, we welcome the Full Worm Moon, a time of emergence, renewal, and transformation. The March Full Moon reminds us that new beginnings are possible, much like the first green shoots pushing through the thawing earth. The soil, once frozen and still, is now softening, preparing to bring forth new life. As nature awakens, so do we, leaving behind the stagnation of winter and stepping into the light of possibility.
This year, the Full Worm Moon rises on Friday, March 14, 2025, at 2:55 AM EST, and will also be a total lunar eclipse, and Blood Moon, adding an even more potent energy of transformation and revelation.
March Full Moon is known by many names. The most common names are:
The Worm Moon is named for the earthworms that reappear as the ground warms, signaling the return of birds and the renewal of life.
Crow Moon – Inspired by the cawing of crows as winter ends, symbolizing the transition into spring.
Sap Moon – Named for the rising sap in maple trees, marking the time of tapping and the flow of fresh energy.
Crust Moon – Reflecting the snow’s crusty texture as it melts and refreezes, signaling seasonal change.
Lenten Moon – A term used in Christian traditions as this moon falls near the Lenten season.
March Full Moon - Messages from Nature
The Full Worm Moon aligns closely with Ostara, the Spring Equinox, making it an ideal time to plant seeds—both in the physical world and within ourselves. It is a period of rebirth, shedding the old, and embracing the new. Through the winter we saw signs of stillness and planning. That was to lead you to this point in time. Now is the time to use what you have learned to thaw and plant your seeds.
Renewal & Growth – Like the softening earth, we are encouraged to shed stagnation and welcome fresh opportunities.
Balance & Preparation – With the equinox approaching, this moon highlights the importance of finding balance in our lives.
Connection to the Earth – The strong earth energy makes this an ideal time for grounding, garden magic, and working with nature spirits.
Beyond just worms, this moon represents awakening and change. It is the moment when dreams, plans, and intentions take root—a time to shake off the cold and embrace the possibilities of spring.
March Full Moon - Zodiac
The March 2025 Full Moon falls in Virgo, a sign known for its attention to detail, organization, and practicality. Virgo energy encourages us to take inventory of our lives, refine our routines, and create practical action plans for growth.
Full moons often heighten emotions, and with Virgo’s influence, we may feel more critical or perfectionistic. This is a good time to focus on solutions rather than problems and practice self-compassion.
This moon is excellent for decluttering, creating healthy habits, and setting realistic goals
