In March, the cold season is shifting to warmer temperatures. The season is changing, and the first signs of spring appear. This time of year the energy is slowly growing and awakening. The energy this month is growing as the first sprigs, buds and worms appear. As the energy grows this month, we too can take this time to grow.
The full moon in March is called the Worm moon, but this moon is also known as the Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon, and Sap Moon. The names for the march full moon relate to the first signs of spring that people experienced. Native Americans viewed the crows cawing as a sign that the end of winter is here. While the settlers considered the March Full moon to be the last full moon of winter. The worm moon gets its name from the first worms that appear above ground after the snow melts. The ground softens, exposing a crust of fresh soil, and then the first buds of spring appear. The birds are chirping and go after the first worms that pop up. The cycle of life begins again, and the season is reborn. The March full moon also represents balance as spring is a delicate balance of life and death. The names of the march full moon helped describe this natural phenomenon and how people experienced the upcoming spring. The end of winter signifies the beginning of a new season and provides many opportunities for renewal. With this season shift, this a great opportunity to let go of what is holding us back and start anew.
As the dead of winter comes to an end, the momentum begins to pick up. Life comes back from the cold, lonely darkness. The March moon represents the rebirth of a season. During this rebirth we can plant the seeds of our intentions or goals. We can tend and cultivate our goals like a garden. We can use this new vibrant life giving energy to set things in motion. We can start setting things into motion by starting on projects, goals, or pushing on to the next stage. The delicate balance of life and death that surrounds us this month is also helpful in reminding us the importance of striking a balance with our time and energy. What is important and how should we prioritize our time? Balancing rest and work is also important. It is something we need to think about when considering our goals and plans for the future. As the roots of plants and flowers reach out from below the ground, we can cultivate our roots firmly on the ground, reach out and grow. As we tend to these goals and plans, we can watch them grow and flourish in the upcoming months.
March Virgo Full Moon
During the Worm Moon in March, the full moon will be in the sign of Virgo. Virgo is a practical sign of order and routine. For Virgo, structure equals freedom. Virgo rules the tools that we need to run our lives. These include our work, habits, health, and routines. This sign’s energy also rules over service, productivity, organization, and romance. Virgo’s earth energy seeks balance and nurture. This energy views the world from a practical perspective, but sometimes our emotions affect our observations. Virgo can help us gain some insight regarding our emotions. When the moon is in the sign of Virgo, we want to balance work and our personal health. During this full moon, get rid of unhealthy habits, clean our spaces and catch up on major work and daily tasks.
The Virgo full moon is a great time for productivity and organizational tasks. When life feels chaotic, the need to organize is strong under Virgo. When you want to be productive and efficient, create lists in order to restore some balance. Under the Virgo moon, now is the time to make a list of our desires and wishes to help gain insight into what is important. This full moon gives us the opportunity to plan for the future. You might feel the need to organize everything, but try to remember that it is ok to let some things go. The most important tasks should be the priority, not the little things. There is always time to work on the little things later, or to just let it be. Trust that not everything needs to be perfect all the time.
Virgo is highly critical and often overthinks matters, so be aware during this full moon if you feel overwhelmed and critical of others. Although the energy of Virgo can be stressful, it also supports inner healing. Virgo can connect with our higher self to help to overcome blocks. The energy of Virgo is grounding when you allow yourself the space and time to do so. It is a time to reflect on life from an unbiased and practical perspective. This will help uncover negative feelings that are keeping you from being balanced. The Virgo moon encourages us to look at the bigger picture instead. This moon can help us look deep within, while the energy of Virgo helps us heal.
