ARIES (MARCH 21 – APRIL 19)
Fill up your cup of coffee, Aries, because you’re about to be juggling many responsibilities and work-related projects! Your calendar will fill up quite rapidly now, but it will be more focused on your priorities, rather than just letting loose and having fun. An important turning point is here regarding your professional life, perhaps that you’re putting the finishing touches on a big project for your boss or ending employment at one job to pounce on another. Be sure to check in with your health and schedule an appointment with your doctor or dietician if anything seems off.
TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 20)
Let the heavens part and bring light down upon you, Taurus! You’ll suddenly feel like your life is filled with romance, passion and laughter. Single Taureans have an excellent opportunity to meet someone new — perhaps even a soulmate! Line up dates with hot people in the days that surround this lunation and you could be fast-tracked into your next love story. Committed couples can enjoy this vibe, too, so schedule some time for sex and adventure with your one-and-only. If for some reason a break-up happens near this time, it’s because you’ve not been on the same page for quite some time and a friend may be acting like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUNE 20)
As much as you’ve got momentum in your career and your ambitions on your mind, your family and domestic life will be pulling you in their direction right now — and, unfortunately, the news may not be what you’ve been hoping for. Something could be off, someone may be sick or you may hear unsettling news in regards to a move or real estate. However, now that it’s out in the open, you can adjust your sails and damage control. You’ve got this, Gemini.
CANCER (JUNE 21 – JULY 22)
You’ve been brainstorming big ideas and feeling inspired to fly in new directions, but something startling may be afoot regarding your daily life. On one hand, this could be some intensity around a communications-related project or contract and you’ll need to smooth out the details. Watch what you write and say, just to be extra cautious. However, this drama may instead consume your life in a different manner: some friction with a neighbor, friend or sibling. Breathe through it and use this as a chance for authentic connection, rather than pointing fingers.
LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)
Your income and expenses are not measuring up at the moment, Leo, and it might be time to hit the brakes. Luckily, if you truly sit down and assess where all of your money is going, you can certainly come out ahead. However, this same lunation may trigger a hefty purchase that you’re initially certain you can handle but then realize there’s a lot loaded into the equation that you hadn’t planned for. Happily, this period could also bring you a surprise raise, a new job opportunity or added side hustle. If for some reason you lose a stream of income now, you’ll need to quickly search for something fresh.
VIRGO (AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22)
It’s time to step into your power and show the world who you truly are, Virgo, but that might ruffle some feathers with people around you or a partner. It seems they weren’t beholden to your innermost desires and plans, and you might now be squaring off. However, if you speak up and use your masterful negotiation techniques and show them the silver lining, things can still go your way. This is a turning point for you, so reach for the stars and see which ones you can grab.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22)
Let’s be real, Libra: you’re burned out. You’re tired. You’re probably cranky. And you’re sick of the endless demands pulling at you personally and professionally! Can’t you have a day off?! The full moon will bring your innermost needs up to be faced, so if you’re feeling anxiety, now is the time to chill, take a breather and step back. If a secret pops out — especially around something at your job — keep it cool. Also, this lunation is a bit wonky, so be sure to not push yourself too hard or you may get sick.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21).
C-E-L-E-B-R-A-T-E, Scorpio! Exciting events, parties and meetings with friends could have you ready to bust out your favorite outfit and bounce around town. You could also be reveling in some recent success and notoriety that you’ve attained and ready to make everybody feel your thunder. However, just to be upfront, there is likely gossip going around that you may have to damage-control — and it may stem from your love life or even in regards to children or a creative project. Another way this could manifest is that your romantic partner is squaring off with a friend; they aren’t seeing eye-to-eye — and jealousy could be the cause of it. Find a way to help everyone see that there’s no reason to be dramatic.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21)
Victory is close at hand — or is it? With career success, new opportunities and a milestone upon you, you’re ready to show the world who is boss. You’ve clearly worked hard to hit this new threshold, but you know what other people are thinking? Your family, in particular, likely thinks you’re just rocking the boat. Whether you’ve been neglecting something in regards to your domestic life, moving or a real estate matter, the proverbial crap could hit the fan at the exact moment you’re patting yourself on the back. Yes, a promotion and recognition are likely to pop up, but be sure you’re handling other things right now, too.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19)
Life could suddenly feel brighter and more exciting, as if you’re ready to step out your door and begin a whole new journey. Your mind and ideas are feeling expansive and you’re eager to see what else life has to offer. On one hand, you could be seeing a culmination around an intellectual project, travel opportunity, academic initiative or media pursuit — but be sure you’re checking everything twice and reading the fine print. You could hit a snag near this time, but if you breathe through it, you should be fine. If any legalities or negotiations appear now, it is crucial for you have an attorney or trusted professional review everything.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18)
Something is not in alignment, Aquarius, and it appears you and someone else are not on the same page. On one hand, it could be a disagreement about your self-worth or theirs, or else how you are both stepping up to the table. Another way this could manifest is around an asset, investment or financial matter that you thought was locked, but ends up falling a bit short. The best thing to do is move forward decisively, but still hold compassion in your heart. People will listen to you better if you’re amicable rather than throwing down a torch.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20)
Relationship will be on the top of your mind at this time, Pisces. In either business or love, it appears you’re ready to take the next step — or someone is ready to throw an emotional tantrum and it is probably you! While this lunation could certainly bring you closer, whether by moving in, getting engaged or even being wed, it would be best to truly discuss one another’s innermost needs to make sure you’re on the same page. If for some reason you are to separate, just know that sometimes good things have to come to an end in order to prepare you for ones that are even better.
What else should I know about the worm moon?
Full moons appear when our great moon stands across the sky from the sun and reflects its light to its greatest degree. Full moons are also tied to the tides and water on Earth, even causing animals and humans to cycle with it. Energetically and spiritually, full moons often create an intensity in our world, triggering endings, culminations and revelations. Emotions can flare and news often arrives a few days prior or the days that follow it. New noons are always tied to full moons. On one hand, we can see that some of the seeds we planted and began six months prior — near Sept. 6, 2021 — may reach culmination because they both fall within the zodiac sign of Virgo. Some discussions and situations that we initiated at the previous new moon of March 2, 2022, may also pop up for us to resolve, too.
The worm moon was originally named because March brings the awakening of spring — officially marked by the spring equinox that takes place on March 20, 2022, this year. However, hints of what’s to come can be found as the ice thaws and earthworms begin to emerge from the soil and beetle larvae start to slither out from beneath the bark of trees. This brings forth a whole scurry of activity within other animals — such as robins and other birds eager to feast after a long, cold winter.
The worm moon this year is also a full moon in Virgo. This earth sign’s energy will echo through the cosmos and our world. Virgo is the sixth zodiac sign in the wheel and is the polarity of Pisces — where the dun currently orbits at this time. Virgo is the zodiac sign of productivity and rules employment, work projects, coworkers, pets and one’s physical health. Virgo is a practical, grounded and efficient zodiac sign, which is what will be important for us to face. Streamlining our plans, schedules and routines will help us to make more progress and get where we wish to be much faster. Creating positive changes around diet, fitness and health will also do well now.
This full moon has many very important planetary aspects that are affecting it — further layering the effects of this lunation. It will stand opposite Neptune, the planet of imagination and deception. This is a difficult aspect and will increase our sense of confusion, paranoia and delusion. It would not be wise to engage in addictive or intoxicating behaviors now. Illness is quite possible now if one puts themselves at risk. The full moon is also linked to Pluto, although in a much more supportive way. This will help us to get to the bottom of what is bothering us and to do profound emotional and psychological soul-searching. Last to note will be Mercury’s important conversations within the sky — as Mercury rules Virgo and this particular lunation. Luckily, even if a sense of murkiness casts fog upon our paths, Mercury unites with Jupiter at this time, bringing hope, optimism and good news if we are able to balance our emotions and practicality. Also, our cosmic messenger smiles upon Uranus, bringing flashes of insight and exciting opportunities if we’re willing to think outside of the box without drowning in a sea of madness. Practice moderation and reach out to others if you are in need of help at this time rather than doing anything too impulsively.
What other names are there for the worm moon?
The full moon of March has many names that have trickled down from Native American culture and proliferated through the Farmer’s Almanac. Other names for this lunation are eagle moon, goose moon (Algonquin, Cree), crow comes back moon (Northern Ojibwe), sugar moon (Ojibwe), wind strong moon (Pueblo), and sore eyes moon (Dakota, Lakota, Assiniboine). Christians have also tied this full moon to religion, as it falls before the spring equinox and can be called the Lenten moon.
