We had a New Worm Moon a few days ago, and so now we are enthusiastically waiting for the Full Worm Moon which will reveal its full beauty on Monday, March 25th. But why do we call it a Worm Moon?
The Worm Moon is a term used to describe the full moon that occurs in March. It’s one of the traditional names given to full moons by various cultures, and these names are often based on natural phenomena and seasonal changes.
It is thought the name “Worm Moon” originates from Native American tribes who named it as such because March is typically the time when the ground begins to thaw and earthworms start to emerge, signaling the arrival of spring. It’s a beautiful celestial event that carries cultural and natural significance.
In this article, we will try to connect the beautiful Worm Moon to the concept of Tarot and this will involve exploring the symbolic meanings associated with both concepts. In Tarot, the Moon card often represents intuition and subconsciousness, but also hidden truths and most of all illusions. On the other hand, the Moon card can also symbolize cycles, emotions, and even moodiness. As Tanya Brum for the TarotSparks.com says about the Moon Card: “The Moon is ruled by Neptune, the planet of illusion, fantasy, and imagination. Therefore, when the Moon appears in your reading you are likely going through a confusing period and there is a lot of clouded judgment. The Moon card may also represent being controlled by your subconscious mind and your fears. The Moon gives us a sense that the only way to change our fate is through our conscious will.”
We will interpret the Worm Moon and connect it to the Moon card by considering themes of transformation, renewal, and the unveiling of hidden aspects of ourselves or specific situations. Just as the earthworms emerge from the ground during the Worm Moon, this period might signify a time for us to dig deep within ourselves, uncovering truths that have been buried or obscured. It could be a time for introspection, shedding light on our subconscious desires, fears, and motivations.
A Simple 4-card Tarot Spread Honoring the Worm Moon
But not all is dark and luckily the Full Worm Moon will shed its light with the arrival of spring and the renewal of nature. This is why we can link the Worm Moon to themes of growth, potential, and new beginnings. The Worm Moon might suggest a time for planting seeds of intention, nurturing our dreams and aspirations as they begin to take root and grow. For this reason, we’ve prepared a super simple 4-card Tarot spread themed around the Worm Moon, which will help you explore the topics mentioned above.
So, take your time – light a candle, place a crystal, light an incense stick or perform whatever ritual you have when doing Tarot. Close your eyes (not until you read this article 🙂 ), take a minute or two to collect your thoughts, and enter a state of meditation. Shuffle the cards and choose four cards (or take them from the top of the pile) and place them in front of you. Each position in this Worm Moon spread represents a specific area or question. Let’s dive into the spread and explain what these spread positions are all about:
- The first card is in the position called The Emergence. This card answers what aspects of yourself or your life are ready to come to the surface during this time of transition.
- The second card is in the position called The Unveiling. This card answers what hidden truths or subconscious influences do you need to be aware of as you navigate this period of transformation.
- The third card is in the position called The Renewal. The question connected to that spread position answers what opportunities for growth and renewal are presenting themselves to you during this cycle.
- The fourth card in this position is called The Integration. This position opens a question of how you can integrate the insights gained during this time into your life to move forward, and what steps can you take to align with your newfound clarity and purpose.
As with anything in Tarot and mysticism, please feel free to adjust the questions or positions to better suit your preferences or the specific aspects of the Worm Moon that resonate with you.
Enjoy exploring the energies of the Worm Moon through this Tarot spread!
