Worm Moon 2023: What is Worm Moon? Know date, time, and importance

Worm Moon 2023: The Worm Moon is the last full Moon of the winter season. Depending on the lunar calendar, it can occur between late February to late March, mainly in March. This year, the Worm Moon will occur on Tuesday, March 7.

The name Worm Moon comes from the fact that this full moon of winter typically appears around the time when earthworms begin to emerge from the soil as the weather starts getting warmer.

However, Worm Moon is not just the last full Moon of the winter season but holds great spiritual importance and significance. It's a season of positive energy overflow, fertile soil, and the return of earthworms to the surface of the earth. Inevitably, it turns into the year's most productive period. So, it’s the time when one can strive to realise his/her dreams.
