Full Moon in Virgo Horoscopes – March 7, 2023

3.355

Starting from the wolf moon in January and the snow moon in February to the pink moon in April, the harvest moon in September and finally the cold moon in December, these full moons reach their peak illumination when the sun and the moon are aligned on either side of the earth.

Also dubbed as the sugar moon by Old Farmer’s Almanac, this year, the worm moon will reach its fully illuminated phase before the spring equinox begins on 20 March. The full moon will peak at 7:40 am ET (6:12 pm IST) on 7 March 2023.

The last full moon of the winter season will appear both on 6 and 7 March.

One doesn’t need to wait till midnight to spot the full moon. While the peak illumination time can be a prominent time to spot March’s worm moon, the dazzling moon can also be experienced the next evening as it rises above the horizon.

However, catching the moon in all its glory also depends on the weather. The March moon will appear the largest from the earth’s vantage point when it’s near the horizon. This is caused by the moon illusion, a phenomenon that makes the moon look bigger when it is near other objects, compared to when higher in the sky without any other comparative objects near it.

If there’s rain on the days of the moon’s peak illumination, one might be lucky to even spot a moonbow — a rare marvel which occurs when the moonlight is refracted through the droplets of water in the air. Moonbows only occur when the full moon is comparatively low in the sky, so it is advisable to look out for a moonbow after sunset hours.

The March moon is positioned in the house of Virgo, the sixth sign in the zodiac wheel. This positioning allows one to seek clarity and order.

Virgo, as a zodiac sign, is aligned with productivity, employment and health. This practical and efficient zodiac sign is considered best for any spring cleaning — a series of repetitive yet simple physical tasks that can act as a form of meditation.
