Spectacular full moons occur every 29.5 days.
Celestial phenomena like full moons are beautiful reminders of how lucky we are to live in a world so rich with natural resources. In terms of spirituality, we can harness the moon’s power at any point in the lunar cycle, but the healing energy is at its peak during the full moon.
On March 25, we will have this year’s March full moon, which is also known as the Worm Moon. Read on to find out where the Worm Moon came from and what it means.
Introduction
Welcome to the Fascinating Universe of Full Moons & What They Mean!
The full moon is the lunar event that happens halfway through a lunar cycle, after the waxing gibbous and before the waning gibbous. In a full moon, the lunar surface that faces Earth receives full illumination from the sun because the moon is in a syzygy with respect to Earth and the sun. The reason it looks like a luminous circle in the sky is because of this.
From a spiritual perspective, full moons represent abundance, clarity, completion, and release. There are distinct energies and themes linked to each full moon. As an example, the Worm Moon, which occurs in March, is a symbol of rebirth following a rejuvenating winter.
Origin of the Worm Moon
The origin of the name “Worm Moon” is not complicated at all. After a long winter, earthworms and other invertebrates usually start to show signs of life in March when the soil starts to warm.
The full moon that occurs in March is known by many names, the most common of which is the Worm Moon. Additional lunar phases include spring, death, crest, sap, and many more.
The Worm Moon of 2019 will take place on Monday, March 25th at 3 a.m. ET (9 a.m. CET). The days leading up to, on, and immediately following the 25th, when the moon will be at its fullest, will be prime viewing opportunities.
Lunar Traditions & Beliefs
• Power Revitalized
The Worm Moon represents rebirth and strong energy. With the arrival of the first full moon of spring (or, depending on your calendar, the last full moon of winter), it’s time to shake off the shadows and welcome the light. We put our newfound resolutions into action and start over in the spring because winter is a time for contemplation and relaxation.
• Growth
Signs of life from invertebrates, such as earthworms, become apparent when the soil starts to warm. The full moon in March is known as the “Worm Moon” for this reason. Like earthworms, we humans emerge from hibernation in the spring to pursue our dreams and expand our selves. The seeds we sowed in the dead of winter are finally starting to sprout and grow, much like the first blossoms of spring.
• Release
Although every full moon represents the letting go of things that no longer benefit us, the Worm Moon is particularly significant for this purpose. This is due to the fact that, as previously stated, it heralds a fresh phase of development and revitalization. We must let go of what is no longer beneficial to us before we can completely embrace what lies ahead, which is a better future. Maybe you’ve been holding onto something from your winter reflections that you can finally let go of with acceptance and love.
Celebration & Rituals
The monthly full moon was a sacred occasion for many ancient religions and cultures. But there’s a unique kind of party that happens on the Worm Moon.
Paying respect to the ebb and flow of life is central to the full moon in March. Every season has its place; for instance, we all need winter to recharge and spring to expand our horizons. So, celebrate the full moon however it makes you feel most at peace.
Take some time to reflect on the winter’s teachings and the things you hope to leave behind as a way to honor the Worm Moon. The next step is to make a springtime manifesto list of all your desires. How about some goals that you can keep in mind going forward? What are some simple things you can do to get closer to your objectives? Imagine your perfect future as you meditate, and then see it blossom in the coming season.
