What is a Full Moon?
If you need a recap of a Full Moon, click here! 🌕
A full moon happens when the moon is directly opposite the sun from the Earth. This means that the side of the moon facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun, making it appear as a complete circle of light in the night sky.
As with anything in witchcraft, there are many different beliefs on what type of magick should be done during a Full Moon. Some witches believe banishing should be done. Others believe intentions should be set for manifestations. Still, others (such as myself) believe that the Full Moon is the best time for literally any spell you want because the energy is at its highest.
During the Full Moon, the Triple Goddess becomes the Mother of all beings. It’s a great time to work on intuition, spells of love, and prosperity. The Power of all Magic is truly at its peak, this lunar phase is key to either accept or reject projects, transformations, and manifestations that we initiated during the New Moon. - Spells and Things To Do on a Full Moon | Spells8
Lunar Eclipse
This month, we are also graced with a Lunar Eclipse! Some witches believe an eclipse can affect the energy of the Full Moon and prefer not to cast spells or work magick. Other witches do not feel any change in energy with the eclipse.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon aligns precisely with the Earth and Sun, casting its shadow upon our planet. As this phenomenon unfolds, viewers of the eclipse first witness the penumbral eclipse. This happens when the outer portion of the moon’s shadow begins to cast a faint glow upon affected areas of the Earth.

Casting spells or performing rituals during an eclipse is going to be personal preference, so do what you are comfortable with!

The Worm Moon (Northern Hemisphere)
This Full Moon is commonly known as the Worm Moon. This comes from the emergence of worms in the soil after the rains which usually begin around this time of year. March is a time of balance in both hemispheres as the equinox brings equal daylight and nighttime to everyone in the world. It is also a transitional time which marks the end of a season and the start of a new one!
All of this is represented by the Full Worm Moon 
Other common names for this moon include the Storm Moon, Sugar Moon, and Crow Comes Back Moon.
The Harvest Moon (Southern Hemisphere)
Those in the Southern Hemisphere will be experiencing a different Full Moon because of the seasonal shift. In the Southern Hemisphere, the Autumn Equinox is happening soon as the transition into cooler weather begins. Though there are no known traditional Full Moon names for the Southern Hemisphere, we can use the Autumn Full Moon name for the Northern Hemisphere as a starting point. This month, the Autumn Full Moon is the Harvest Moon or Corn Moon!
Other names you might consider for the March Full Moon in the Southern Hemisphere include the Autumn Moon, Moon of Browning Leaves, and Child Moon.
The Sign of Virgo
Virgo is the virgin sign of the Zodiac, a mutable Earth sign ruled by the planet Mercury. This sign is Earthy in all sense of the word - grounded, down-to-earth, and stable. Virgos love to help, embracing acts of service in whatever way they can. Sometimes, this desire to assist those around them is to their detriment as they will do whatever is necessary for others and neglect themselves. Virgos have a keen eye and notice things that others may not. This gives them an advantage in their endeavors as they approach tasks and challenges with an analytical mind. However, the downfall of this is that Virgos may be more critical of themselves - something to watch out for!

Remember, the energy of the Full Moon isn’t just for the one day that it reaches its peak. Personally, I give myself a three-day window for the Full Moon: the day before, the day of, and the day after. This works well for my practice and it may work for yours, too!
