MARCH FULL MOON NAMES
March’s Full Moon is traditionally called the Full Worm Moon by the Native Americans who used the Moon’s phases 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.
Roots start to push their way up through the soil, and the Earth experiences a re-birth as it awakens from its winter slumber.
In some regions, this is also known as the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.

MARCH BLUE MOON
When two full Moons occur in a single calendar month, the second is called a Blue Moon. In March 2018, a Blue Moon will occur on the 31st. Learn more about Blue Moons!
