I am here today to talk to you about this Full Moon period we are beginning in the afternoon on Tuesday, March 3rd at 3:38 AM (MST), as well as the New Moon period on Wednesday, March 18th at 6:23 pm (PDT – (as of March 8th)
This Full Moon is known as the Worm Moon due to the beginning of earthworms reappearing as the land thaws and prepares for spring planting. It is also sometimes known the Blood Moon due to its reddish glow, especially at this time of a Lunar Eclipse. This is a time of new beginnings and the turning of the seasons – a time of rebirth and setting intentions. It is also called the Crow Moon, the Sap Moon, and other names that hint of the shift from dormancy into the flow of emerging life.
We have a Full Moon when the sun and moon are considered in opposition. Astrologically, this means that both the Sun and Moon are in opposing signs, and at the time of this Full Moon, the Sun is in Pisces & the Moon is in Virgo, exactly opposed the Sun on March 3rd at 3:38 AM MST. The signs of Pisces and Virgo give us emotional depth and intuition, as well as a well-grounded focus which can lead to some very meaningful life changes and self-improvement. This is a time for to prepare for the active months to come. And all of this is intensified with the Lunar Eclipse also taking place, which also aid in endings and new beginnings. Open to the clarity of the season and make your plans accordingly.
Aspect-wise, some of which we mentioned at the last New Moon, we saw several planets in Aquarius at the beginning of February, leading to the New Moon on Feb. 17th, and soon after that, we saw a conjunction with Neptune and Pluto that brings a few shifts to the collective. And then Mercury went retrograde on Feb. 26th, and is still retrograde at the time of this Full Moon. All of this aids us in slowing down and releasing that which doesn’t serve, leading us to this Full Moon and that which I have already mentioned about fresh starts and new plans.
On the day of the Full Moon on March 3rd, we see a sextile between the Moon and Jupiter, bringing an expansiveness to this time; however, on the same day, there is an opposition to Mercury which is still retrograde, as I had previously mentioned, so communications can go awry. Be mindful of this. Mercury won’t go direct again until AFTER the New Moon on March 20th. Daylight Savings Time starts on March 8th, so do keep that in mind. Another significant aspect is on Friday, March 13th when the moon opposes Jupiter and is then void of course until the next day. It’s a good time to continue to be productive as you develop your projects, but double-check everything until Mercury goes direct again.
The New Moon is on March 18th at 6:23 pm (PDT) and it is in the sign of Pisces, so it’s a gentle time, where you may be more sensitive, and have a greater emotional awareness. It’s a time of spiritual integration and more intuitive. It’s time to allow inner shifts to take place. The Pisces energies highlight some of our emotional baggage, so it’s a great time to do inner work and release that which no longer serves you. Forgive as much as you can and open to greater insights. Find that inner peace within yourself. Be compassionate with both yourself AND others, and do remember this even as we move forward into what is to come before the next Full Moon.
Other aspects: On March 19th, Jupiter squares the Moon which makes it an excellent time to reconnect with friends and open channels of communication. Spring Equinox is when the Sun enters Aries, on March 20th at 7:46 AM (PDT), just two days after the New Moon. On Tuesday, the 24th of March, the Moon squares Mars, and Venus and Kyron both are in sextile to the Moon, which makes it a good day to establish connections and a time to open to love.

I believe I have mentioned it before, but just in case…. From now on, we will be doing both the Full Moon and the New Moon on one video just before the Full moons.
Sending you many blessings of this Moon season.
