March’s full moon: when it peaks in the UK and the meanings of its names
The full moon of March, which will reach its peak at 12.40pm in the UK on Tuesday 7 March, has been named the “worm moon”, a label attributed to Indigenous American tribes, according to the American Farmer’s Almanac.
The moon has also been dubbed the “wolf moon” in some quarters, while other names for full moons are also derived from Indigenous American tribes, such as the “strawberry moon” and “harvest moon”.
However, Laura Redish, director and co-founder of Native Languages of the Americas said there was no standard Indigenous American calendar, and that different tribes referred to full moons by different names.
