Awakening Under the Worm Moon: Embrace the Power of Transformation and Renewal

"As the Worm Moon rises, so too does the stirring of your spirit—transforming the darkness into the light of new beginnings."

Ah, beloved one, as the Full Worm Moon rises, so too does the awakening of all that has slumbered within you. The earth herself stirs beneath the cold, heralding a time of renewal, and you, too, are invited to remember the power of beginnings.

The Worm Moon— a time of profound transition. As the earthworms begin to stir from the thawing soil, they remind us of the cycles of nature: the end of one season and the quiet birth of another. This Full Moon, occurring at 2:56 a.m. EST on Friday, March 14, 2025, will rise later that evening, glowing warmly in the eastern sky. This celestial event marks the closing of winter and the arrival of spring, a season of rebirth and renewal.

SEASON OF BIRTH & RENEWAL 🌺🌹🌻

But this Worm Moon will be especially powerful, as it coincides with a total lunar eclipse, a Blood Moon. As the Earth’s shadow embraces the Moon, she will be bathed in a rich red, coppery hue—a beautiful reminder that transformation often arrives through the quiet darkness, and from this darkness, new growth emerges. The moon’s reddish color is a result of sunlight filtering through Earth's atmosphere and refracting onto the Moon’s surface. If the skies are clear and smoke or ash are present in the air, the color may intensify, adding a deep, mystical glow to the spectacle.

This moon, bathed in the red light of the eclipse, calls forth deep transformation—just as the worms awaken to stir the soil, so too does this moon stir the soil of your spirit. The blood-red glow is a reminder of life’s cycles: birth, death, and rebirth. Through this sacred moment, we honor the cyclical nature of all things, understanding that there is no true end—only transformation.

FULL MOON DEATH & REBIRTH

Virgo’s energy is grounded, practical, and driven by intention. She guides you to focus your desires, to anchor your dreams in the fertile soil of your heart. Yet, the opposing force of Pisces asks you to dream, to feel, to trust your intuitive self. Together, these energies ask you to weave the dream world with the material world, bringing your deepest wishes into form.

Now is the time, dear one, to plant the seeds of your intentions. What do you wish to grow in your life? What needs to be released, like old leaves falling from the tree? What will you nourish with your attention and love? This is a time for clarity, for gentle but determined steps toward your vision.

Take a moment to release old burdens, old fears, and old patterns that no longer serve your soul’s path.

PLANTING SEEDS OF INTENTION 🌱🍃

Cleanse your space, cleanse your mind, and make room for what is to come. Just as the earth sheds the dead leaves to make way for new life, so too must you create space for your own blossoming.

The herbs and crystals of this time are here to guide you. Green aventurine brings abundance, moss agate connects you to the wisdom of the earth, and clear quartz amplifies your clarity. Basil, mint, and dandelion are your allies for prosperity, vitality, and manifestation. Allow these energies to work with you, to remind you that you are co-creating with the forces of nature.

So, beloved, as the Full Worm Moon rises, let yourself rise too. Let this be your time of transformation, of reclaiming your power, and of stepping boldly into the life that you are meant to create. Feel the whispers of the winds, the call of the moon, and the pulse of the earth beneath you—she is guiding you home.

May your intentions take root and grow tall, reaching for the light of your soul. And in this sacred moment, trust that the universe is already conspiring in your favor. Blessings to you.

Full Worm Moon Ritual for Renewal & Growth

SACRED SPACE

A sacred practice to cleanse, reflect, ground, and plant the seeds of your intentions, ending with a ritual bath for full integration.

1. Cleanse Your Space (Physical & Energetic)

• Begin by decluttering your space, clearing away anything that feels stagnant or no longer serves you. Open windows to allow fresh air and energy to flow in.

• Light sage, palo santo, or dried dandelion to purify the space. As the smoke rises, walk through your home, setting the intention to release old energy and invite in clarity.

• Sprinkle salt at your doorways or add a few drops of basil or mint essential oil to a spray bottle with water, misting the room for renewal.

• As you clean, repeat:

  
  

  "I release what no longer serves. I welcome new blessings and fresh beginnings."

  
  

2. Answer Your Journaling Questions

• Find a quiet space with your journal and a candle. Sit in stillness, breathing deeply, allowing the Full Moon’s energy to fill you.

• Reflect on the following questions and write freely, without judgment:

  • What do I wish to grow in my life?

  • What old fears, burdens, or patterns am I ready to release?

  • What will I nourish with my attention and love?

  • How can I create space for new growth?

  • What small steps will I take to align with my highest vision?

• When finished, hold your journal to your heart, sealing your intentions with gratitude.

  
  

3. Ground Yourself in Nature

• Step outside under the moonlight. If possible, stand barefoot on the earth to connect with her energy.

• Close your eyes and breathe deeply, feeling yourself rooted like a tree, strong yet flexible.

• Place your hands on the ground, visualizing any remaining doubts or fears draining into the earth, transforming into nourishment for your next phase.

• Whisper to the wind: "I trust the cycles of life. I am ready to grow."

4. Plant Seeds of Intention

• Take a small pot, garden soil, and seeds (herbs, flowers, or symbolic seeds like lavender or basil).

• As you plant each seed, whisper an intention:

  • "With this seed, I plant the energy of abundance."

  • "With this seed, I welcome love and clarity."

  • "With this seed, I honor my transformation."

• Water the soil gently, knowing that as these seeds grow, so too will your intentions.

5. Take a Cleansing Bath for Integration

• Draw a warm bath and add:

  • Epsom salt for clearing energetic residue

  • Dandelion, mint, or basil (fresh or as essential oils) for renewal and manifestation

  • Clear quartz, moss agate, or green aventurine placed at the edge of the bath for clarity, grounding, and abundance

• As you soak, visualize the water washing away the past and filling you with light. Whisper:

  
  

  "I am cleansed, renewed, and ready for what is to come."

• When you step out, anoint yourself with a natural oil (coconut, olive, or essential oil blend), sealing in the energy of your ritual.

Closing the Ritual

• Stand before a mirror, looking into your own eyes with love. Say aloud:

  "I honor my path. I trust the cycles of life. I am ready to bloom."

• Give thanks to the earth, the moon, and yourself for this sacred practice.

  
  

This ritual aligns you with the natural flow of transformation, allowing you to release the old, ground yourself, set intentions, and step forward cleansed and empowered. May your intentions take root and flourish under the Worm Moon’s light.
