Full Moon March 2025 – Worm Moon And Alternative Names

The March full Moon has one of the most unexpected names—the “Worm Moon.” Full Moon names often showcase seasonal highlights, such as May’s “Flower Moon” or September’s “Harvest Moon” or even animals common to each season, such as July’s “Buck Moon” or August’s “Sturgeon Moon.” But worms? Why do these invertebrates matter so much in March?

March 2025 Full Moon: Friday, March 14
Peak Illumination: 2:55 A.M. EDT

Why Is The March Full Moon The “Worm” Moon?

The “Worm Moon” got its name because in March the soil begins to warm and the very first signs of life begin to return as earthworms, beetle larvae, and grubs emerge from their winter dormancy. These invertebrates are some of the very earliest spring food sources for birds and animals, including bears, skunks, and other animals emerging from hibernation. The castings (vermicasts, waste from earthworms) left behind enrich the soil and make it possible to begin planting and gardening after winter’s end.

More March Moon Names

March has a wide variety of names for the full Moon because there are many different things happening as winter ends and spring begins. Names vary depending on their origins from ancient cultures or Native American tribes, regional climates, geography, and even individual dialects.

Many northern cultures have end-of-winter names for the March full Moon, such as the “Snow Crust Moon” or “Hard Crust on the Snow Moon” from the Ojibwe and Chippewa tribes near the Great Lakes. During March, deep snow thaws during warm days but refreezes during cold nights, creating a brittle crust on top of the snow.

Another late-winter name for the March full Moon is the “Sore Eye Moon.” This is common among several Native American peoples, including the Sioux, Lakota, and Assiniboine of the Great Plains, northern plains, and Dakotas. In these areas, bright sunlight of the late winter and early spring reflects off remaining snow, creating snow blindness or eye soreness.

As the weather shifts into early spring, strong winds are common as air temperatures rise. The Choctaw and Cherokee of the southeastern US, as well as the Catawba of South Carolina, call the March full Moon… Click here to read the rest of this article Source:.farmersalmanac.com

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, March 9 to Saturday, March 15, 2025

All Signs

For the last 25 days, Mars has been at 17 degrees Cancer. Today it finally moves to 18 degrees to stay for six days; then to 19 degrees for four days, and then 20 degrees for three days – you get the picture. Mars is finally moving forward! (Relative to planet Earth.) Meanwhile, in another part of the celestial heavens, the shadow phase of Mercury retrograde begins today, which means if you want to buy a car, truck, computer, cell phone or hi-tech equipment – wait until April 7 when Mercury retrograde is over. Wisest of all is to wait until April 27 when the shadow phase is over, then you’re really in the clear. Of course, are we ever in the clear? Ripened on the vine and jet fresh? (Do not trifle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Opposing influences are at play for you this week. In one way, you want to be low-key. You might want to hide at home. You feel serious about your financial security and your duties and obligations. Plus, ex-partners and old friends from the past are back on the scene. (This could be stressful.) Meanwhile, in sharp contrast, another influence makes you want to play! You want to get out and schmooze! You want to enjoy the arts, the entertainment world, romance, sports events and fun activities with kids. In addition to this powerful juxtaposition, there’s a Luna Eclipse on Thursday that might create power struggles at work, with your health and even about a pet. Hang in there!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You’re popular this week. Nevertheless, you’ll take time to research and discover answers to old problems. And hey – music to your ears – you can boost your earnings, especially through real estate or a family business. Ka-ching! Nevertheless, on Wednesday, you’re serious, and as such, you might seek the advice of someone older or more experienced. It’s possible these concerns will intensify before Thursday’s Full Moon (a Lunar Eclipse) which might heighten your existing anxieties. Fortunately, by the end of the week, you’re laughing. On Saturday, you’ll state your views with passion because the Moon will be lined up with fiery Mars in your House of Communications. (“Don’t quibble, Sybil.”)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You continue to look marvellous to everyone because the Sun is at the top of your chart, which can happen only once a year — and when this occurs, you are cast in a flattering spotlight! However, this week you look respectable and more serious for some reason. You might even look authoritarian. (Put down the whip.) The week begins with you in a positive, exuberant frame of mind. You’re keen to talk to others, especially someone who will listen to what you have to say. Old friends or members of old groups are back in your world. The Full Moon on Thursday could create tension between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your outer world. Oh well, you can’t please everyone. (But since you’re twins, maybe you can.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a financially strong week for you. (We like!) Trust your moneymaking ideas. Be confident in your ability to find a good job or get a raise or make money on the side. However, even though you’re adventurous and keen for a change of scenery; something might hold you back. Sensible or practical reasons might make you reconsider some exciting plans. Meanwhile, pay attention to everything you say and do, especially Tuesday and Wednesday because Thursday’s Full Moon is an accident-prone time for you both verbally and physically. Therefore, don’t be distracted. Keep your eye on the prize. Bosses, parents and authority figures from your past are back on the scene.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For you, this week begins in an upbeat way because the Moon is in your sign dancing with lucky Jupiter. This means you’ll enjoy being with old friends. Plus, group activities will appeal, and you’ll find it easy to work well with others. Admittedly, travel plans might be delayed or cancelled. Meanwhile, the Lunar Eclipse on Thursday occurs across both your Money Houses. Get your ducks in a row. What do you owe and what do you own? When it comes to money – information is power. Get important facts that matter to you right now. Take care of loose details. But do take time to enjoy romance with someone unusual (or far away), especially someone from your past who looks appealing once again.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is an energizing week that begins on a feel-good note for you. That’s because the Moon is dancing with Jupiter at the top of your chart, which makes you create an excellent impression on others. It also gives you strong energy to interact with friends and groups. However, the Lunar Eclipse on Thursday will be in your sign. This could create tension between you and spouses, partners and close friends. In fact, you might notice these difficulties becoming more intense as you approach Thursday, and then almost magically, by Friday and Saturday, these problems will diminish if not disappear. Poof! (That’s a relief.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your relations with friends and groups are warm and rewarding on Monday. People are happy to see you and you’re pleased to see them. For some, this could lead to travel plans in the future or chances to explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law, especially because with Mars at the top of your chart, arousing your ambition. Obviously, this is a good time to explore possible options. Nevertheless, wait until May to set your armies marching because Mercury retrograde will be entirely over by then (including the shadow phase). Meanwhile, ex-partners and friends are back in your world (or even in your dreams). Thursday’s Full Moon might create tension at work as well as tension with medical colleagues and workers.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

As this week begins, you make a fabulous impression on others. For starters, people notice you more than usual. Furthermore, they see you as successful, confident and fearless. In addition, you will be skilful and persuasive dealing with the public. Doors will open for you. Meanwhile, work colleagues you haven’t seen for a while might be back in your world. You might also finish an important work project. However, the Lunar Eclipse on Thursday could create tension with kids, friends and romantic partners. Your patience might be necessary to save a friendship. (You have immense inner discipline.) Hopefully, you can travel because you need a change of scenery.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Do something different on Monday because you want to try new things, see new places and learn new ideas. It might be as simple as a walk in a different park, checking out a new store, perhaps a new restaurant or driving through a different neighbourhood? Respect and acknowledge your need for some stimulation and the thrill of something fresh! Meanwhile, old flames are back on the scene, while others might hear from professional colleagues or kids you haven’t seen for a while. Thursday’s Lunar Eclipse will create a tug-of-war between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career and public reputation. Choose wisely. (Hint: You can’t ignore home and family.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your fast-pace continues making this a lively week. On Monday, you might be pleased with financial news. Perhaps you’ll receive a financial advantage or an opportunity or a favour or a gift. For some, it will bring a chance to improve your health or your job. Meanwhile, some of you are having reunions because family you haven’t seen for a while are back in the picture. Relatives might be camped on your doorstep. Why not enlist their assistance to help you finish home repairs and redecorating projects? Midweek, please pay attention to everything you say and do because the Lunar Eclipse on Thursday is an accident-prone time for you. Slow down and take it easy. Be mindful.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This week gets off to a great start because relations with partners, spouses and close friends are warm and friendly! Even your dealings with members of the general public are positive and reassuring. Meanwhile, you’re pumped to work and be productive – no question. One hiccup you can’t avoid might be transportation problems and delays in communications because of Mercury retrograde. Fortunately, these are temporary. You might also hear from cousins and relatives you haven’t seen for a while. Brace yourself for Thursday’s Lunar Eclipse, which takes place across both your Money Houses. Something might come to a head. Stay in touch with your finances.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

On Monday, you feel vigourous, which will help to boost your energy for your job and your dealings with work-related situations. Some of you might enjoy work-related travel. Unfortunately, financial matters are held up because Mercury retrograde is taking place in your Money House. Cheques in the mail might be late and financial transactions in general will suffer from delays, confusion and mixed-up communications. The Lunar Eclipse on Thursday will take place directly opposite your sign, which will create some angst and tension between you and partners, spouses and close friends. Fortunately, these difficulties will be short-lived; and by the weekend, socializing and romance are full of promise.

Welcome to WOTC! A Thought for Your Day

I will hopefully be back to posting the extra information tomorrow. I have to be off all types of pain medication until I see the orthopedic doctor at 11:00 AM CST today for my right knee that I hurt on January 2nd. As those of you who suffer from chronic pain know, my pain level is off the 1-10 pain chart right now, so anything I do hurts so much more. I will let you know what they decide to do with my knee tomorrow.

May your and your family’s lives be filled with love, happiness, laughter, joy, and positive things! Blessed be.
