The full moon in March 2025 is a blood moon that’ll take place on March 14 in the sign of Virgo. It’s a very special astronomical and astrological event because it coincides with a total lunar eclipse, which is what happens when the earth stands between the moon and the sun, and blocks the sun’s light from reaching the moon.
During this lunar phase, the moon may appear reddish in tone due to the sunlight in the earth’s atmosphere—a phenomenon also known as a blood moon. This time the moon is expected to glow red for one hour and six minutes during the eclipse, though not everyone will be able to observe the total lunar eclipse with the naked eye.
The full moon in March 2025 is also called the worm moon as well as the waxing moon, as it marks the beginning of spring.
