March Full Moon
The March full moon is most commonly referred to as the Worm Moon, but it is also the Sugar Moon, the Sap Moon, the Crow Moon, and the Death Moon. During this full moon, it is all about shedding what you no longer need and planting seeds to grow in the direction you want to go. In 2025, it is also a lunar eclipse. To find out what time you can see the eclipse in your area go to https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/lunar/2025-march-14 and there is an interactive map to find the best time to see the eclipse where you are.
The March full moon gets the name Worm Moon from the snow melting and the earth coming back to life. This is the time of the year that the maple trees start flowing with sap to make maple syrup and maple sugar. In the far north, this is usually when the crows start returning to the area as well (I’ve seen a couple in the past few days). To be honest, I am not sure why this is the death moon since it is spring now and most thing are about growing, returning and rebirth.
A few ways to honor this full moon:
- Get out and get your feet on some grass, if it is warm enough by you to do this. Barefoot is the best.
- Write down the things that no longer serve you and either burn them to release them or bury them in the ground.
- Go for some nighttime foraging around you. There are things that are starting to pop up like wild garlic, sorrel, ramps, and even dandelions depending on where you are.
- Make a full moon mask. Remember this full moon is about releasing so make your mask around that theme. Maybe a mask of what you are releasing.
- Go for a gratitude walk. Just take a walk and notice all the great things happening around you and be grateful for those. Really embody it.
- Tell a story. Learn or make up a legend about this time of year. Tell it with a group or even just write it down and share it.
It is already mentioned that this is a lunar eclipse. Eclipses are special and have very powerful energy. I have heard both ways when it comes to manifesting and setting intentions during an eclipse. Some say not to manifest or set intentions, the energy is to chaotic but others say to do manifest or set intentions because the energy is more powerful. So go with your gut and how you feel about them.
Personally, I feel that eclipses are great for revealing what was hidden and it’s great to for hiding what you aren’t yet ready to reveal. Use the energy wisely.
