Hello everyone.
It’s time for those in America and any others with spring. Time with hopes for longer days, planting and more life! Included with full moon update please find other nuggets of bonuses, fun facts and new practices. Happy March!

When to See the Full Worm Moon in March 2026

The Full Worm Moon reaches its peak on the morning of Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 6:38 A.M. ET. This year’s March Full Moon is especially notable because it coincides with a total lunar eclipse. The eclipse reaches its greatest point at 6:33 A.M. ET, just minutes before the Full Moon peak, and during totality, the Moon can take on a coppery red or orange glow.

If conditions are just right and there’s a bit of mist or rain in the air, you may even spot a rare phenomenon called a moonbow—a rainbow created by moonlight instead of sunlight. Moonbows are most likely when the Full Moon is low in the sky.

Bonus: Total lunar eclipse of the full Blood Moon on March 2-3

A total lunar eclipse of the full Blood Moon will sweep across the Pacific Ocean and western North America on March 2-3, 2026. The Blood Moon will be high in the sky for east Asia on the evening on March 3. East of the International Date Line – in Hawaii – the eclipse starts on the evening of March 2. Half a world away, in North America, we’ll have an early morning eclipse on March 3. We’ll be watching the eclipse as the Blood Moon sinks in the west before dawn. Japan, New Zealand, and most of Australia will see the entire event. From central Asia, the moon will rise with the eclipse already in progress. None of the eclipse will be visible from eastern Europe, Africa or western Asia.

The Surprising Truth Behind the Worm Moon Name

March’s Full Moon is known as the Worm Moon. For many years, it was believed this name referred to earthworms appearing as the soil warms in early spring—drawing birds such as robins and signaling the changing season.

However, historical research suggests another explanation. In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver recorded that the name referred to beetle larvae—another type of “worm”—which emerge from thawing tree bark and winter hiding places at this time of year.

Either way, the name reflects the same idea: the land is beginning to wake up.

A Seasonal Signal for Gardeners

For generations, this Full Moon served as a seasonal marker for people who worked the land. The Worm Moon reflects a time when winter begins to loosen its hold—when daylight is increasing, snow and ice start to retreat, and the natural world shows its first subtle signs of change.

Rather than signaling planting time, this Moon traditionally marked a period of observation and preparation. It was a cue to watch the landscape, take stock after winter, and begin planning for the growing season ahead—even though the ground itself was often still frozen.

The Sugar Moon and Early Spring Traditions

Another traditional name for March’s Full Moon is the Sugar Moon (Ojibwe). In many regions, this is the time when sugar maples are tapped, and sap buckets begin to fill—an early sign that spring is on its way, even if snow still covers the ground.

What zodiac sign is the March worm moon

"Virgo is a practical, grounded and efficient zodiac sign, which is what will be important for us to face," Thomas explained. "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."

He added that this lunar eclipse is an especially powerful time to evaluate routines tied to diet, fitness and overall well-being.

Rituals and manifestations to try during the worm moon

Full moons have long been honored across cultures as moments of heightened energy, reflection and transformation. However, because this worm moon coincides with a lunar eclipse, Thomas said it's not the ideal time for traditional manifestation rituals.
"There is so much change already taking place on a collective level," he explained. "Instead, it is better to lie low, reflect, and pay attention to what the universe is trying to tell you about the newfound path you are being set upon."

Potential meditations, mantras or journal prompts:
• I surrender to the universe at this time.
• I am ready for change.
• I trust my intuition.
• The universe is a beautiful place and I accept this next chapter of my life.

If dosing WPS…

If you are thinking of using the split dosing approach for your WPS, here are the basic instructions:

For three days before and three days after the full moon peak, you divide your WPS dose in thirds.

Regarding whatever drop count you are at, at this time, take drops at 10:30 am, drops at 3:30 pm, and drops at bedtime as usual.

You have to be extremely careful to allow the full two hours between your WPS and your other protocol supplements.

You need to be precise with your timing, and return immediately to your regular dosing, after the six-day cycle of the full moon (three days before and the three days after).

Someone with a scientific background could explain why this works in detail, but basically it seems that by splitting the WPS, you are interrupting the reproduction cycle of the organism which is accelerated during the full moon phase.

In peace and health,
Jen
