Cyclical Insights
March’s Full Moon is known as The Worm Moon, The Sap Moon, The Crow Moon, and The Crust Moon. In the southern native traditions, the earthworm signifies the end of Winter as they make their way up and visible through the crust of the Earth. In the northern regions, this is known as The Sap Moon. As the snow begins to thaw, the Maple Trees begin to release their sap - the very valuable mineral and fructose-rich maple syrup that will be savored until the following Spring. This transition is very apparent with signs and signals abound, like the black crows that begin to caw, spreading the word that Winter is coming to a close.
Based on where you live and what you are noticing, what would you call this moon? complain and decline…it’s always up to you.
