March: Worm Moon

The Full Moon in March is the Worm Moon, and it is usually considered the last Full Moon of winter. It is also called Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Chaste Moon, Sugar Moon, and Sap Moon.

 

Last Full Moon of Winter

As the Worm Moon is in March, it is usually the last Full Moon before the equinox which can take place on March 19, 20, or 21. In 2019, the Full Worm Moon on March 21 at 01:42 UTC is almost 4 hours after the March equinox on Mar 20 21:58 UTC.

 

The vernal equinox marks the end of winter, and the start of spring and the Full Moon is named after the earthworms that emerge at this time of year.

 

There are more around 6,000 earthworm species worldwide. In the US and Canada, there are more than 180 species, and 60 of these are invasive, brought over from Europe, including the night crawler.
