About the Worm Moon
March's full moon, named for earthworms reappearing as the ground thaws at winter's end.
The next Worm Moon falls on Monday, March 22, 2027. For exact moonrise and moonset times at your location, use the moon calculator, or browse the full year of moon phases.
A note for the Southern Hemisphere: these names come from Northern-Hemisphere farming and seasonal almanacs, so the season they evoke is flipped south of the equator. The Worm Moon still falls on the same date worldwide — but the seasonal imagery behind the name (weather, crops, wildlife) reflects the Northern Hemisphere, not the local season.
