The [lunar calendar](https://novaoracles.com/tools/lunar-calendar) turns the exact moment into your own local time. ## Why is March's full moon the Worm Moon? The almanac name for the March full moon is the Worm Moon, usually explained by earthworms and their casts showing up as the ground thaws. Some lists give other names for it, and none of them has an effect on the Moon. The name only marks the season, which in 2027 arrives right at the equinox. ## The astronomy, and the astrological reading In astronomical terms the Moon stands at about 1 and a half degrees of Libra in the tropical zodiac, opposite the Sun at the same degree of Aries. The Sun entered Aries at the equinox, so this is the first full moon of the new astrological year. Mars and Jupiter are both retrograde in Leo at this point. Mars turns direct on April 1 and Jupiter on April 13. Astrologers read Aries as the sign of drive, courage and starting things, and Libra, where the [full moon](https://novaoracles.com/glossary/full-moon) falls, as partnership, fairness and the habit of weighing both sides. This axis is traditionally read as the pull between what you want for yourself and what a relationship asks of you, and it is often described as a first test of the year's fresh plans. The usual advice is practical: a fair compromise lasts longer than a quick win. With two planets still retrograde, the tradition adds that this is a good time to finish what is open before you launch something new. ## Where does the Worm Moon fall in your chart? The Worm Moon stands at about 1 and a half degrees of Libra. Open your [birth chart](https://novaoracles.com/tools/birth-chart) and look for that degree.
