On March 14, 2025, we welcome the Full Worm Moon, a celestial event that signals the shift from winter’s stillness to the vibrant energy of spring. This particular Full Moon is extra powerful, as it coincides with a Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon)—a rare and transformative event in the night sky.
The Worm Moon is the final Full Moon of winter, symbolizing rebirth, renewal, and new beginnings. As the earth awakens and the first signs of life emerge, we are reminded to shake off the old and step into a period of growth and transformation.
Why Is It Called the Worm Moon?
The name “Worm Moon” originates from Native American and European traditions, reflecting the time of year when the ground begins to soften, and earthworms reappear, signaling the return of birds and the coming of spring.
Other traditional names for this Full Moon include:
• The Crow Moon – As crows begin to caw, announcing the end of winter.
• The Sap Moon – Signifying the rising of sap in trees, especially maple.
• The Chaste Moon – A nod to purity, new beginnings, and fertility.
Regardless of its name, the energy of the Worm Moon is one of awakening and preparation—a call to shake off the dormancy of winter and embrace the coming season of growth.
The Worm Moon & the Total Lunar Eclipse
What makes this Worm Moon special is that it coincides with a Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon), which occurs when the Earth’s shadow completely covers the Moon, giving it a reddish hue.
The Significance of a Blood Moon
Lunar eclipses represent endings, revelations, and spiritual awakenings. A Blood Moon intensifies emotions, bringing hidden truths to the surface and pushing us toward major transformations. This particular eclipse lasts 67 minutes, making it one of the longer ones in recent years, amplifying its energetic impact.
Astrological Influence: Full Moon in Virgo
This Worm Moon falls in the sign of Virgo, an earth sign associated with:
• Healing & Health
• Organization & Routine
• Self-Improvement & Inner Work
This is a time to reflect on our daily habits, health, and well-being. The combination of the Full Moon and the Eclipse creates a potent energy for letting go of old patterns, detoxing, and making room for new, healthier routines.
Who Will Be Most Affected?
While the Worm Moon’s energy affects everyone, those with significant placements in Virgo, Pisces, Gemini, and Sagittarius may feel the impact more intensely. Expect major realizations, emotional releases, and breakthroughs in areas of health, work, and personal growth.
Spiritual Meaning of the Worm Moon
The Worm Moon is a time of emergence, growth, and renewal. It encourages us to:
• Release the past and embrace new beginnings.
• Plant seeds for future growth—literally and metaphorically.
• Let go of limiting beliefs that hold us back.
• Tune into nature’s cycles and align with its rhythms.
With the eclipse amplifying this Full Moon’s power, this is an especially potent time for spiritual work, reflection, and transformation.
