"March’s Full Moon is traditionally called the Full Worm Moon by the Native Americans who used the Moons to track the seasons; Colonial Americans also used these names, especially those of the local Algonquin tribes who lived between New England and Lake Superior. At the time of this Moon, the ground begins to soften enough for earthworm casts to reappear, inviting the return of robins and migrating birds." -Old Farmer's Almanac
As spring begins to awaken, the Virgo Full Moon reminds us that rebirth is never easy. We are also in the middle of a Venus retrograde which is casting a not so becoming light on arousing after the deep sleep of winter. The combination of both, along with a touchy Mercury, is being aimed at the cognitive dissonance between intuition and logic. Expect to be tongue-tied articulating how you feel, what you think, and where this is all going.
Out with the old, in with the new may sound exciting, but embracing the transformation of this spring's Full Moon means first encountering why you haven't done this in the first place. Though challenging, this is the season to clear away debris, trim off the dead branches, and begin preparing the soil for planting. The universe will reward the work if one can look beyond the chaos, risk thinking outside the box, and get out of the way. Primal emotions emerging during this time will be better served through exercising control.
The Virgo Full Moon reminds us that spring not only bestows more sun and flowers but can also bring inclement weather. Regardless, there are always worms.
