Well, get ready for some change, courtesy of the Full Worm Moon in Virgo on March 9, 2023. During this time, you’ll crave some serious newness in your life, making big plans in the process, according to Donna Page, a certified astrologer in Atlanta. Naturally, there’s more to this astrological event than that.

Here’s what else your zodiac sign can expect from the Full Worm Moon in Virgo, plus how it can impact your life going forward.

What is the Full Worm Moon in Virgo, exactly?

Let’s back up a minute: In astronomy, the moon goes through different cycles, as you’ve probably realized. A full moon is when the moon looks like a big, round ball in the sky. In the astrology world, each full moon is tied to a different sign, giving it a special vibe.

Each full moon also has a name that they’ve been given over time. This particular full moon’s (admittedly gross) name comes from a mix of Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. The Full Worm Moon refers to the beetle larvae that start to emerge around this time from thawing tree bark and other places they’ve hidden for the winter, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. It’s also referred to as the Full Eagle Moon and Full Goose Moon, depending on who you’re talking to.

How will the Full Worm Moon in Virgo impact your zodiac sign?

There are actually a few different astrological events happening at this time that influence the overall feel of this full moon. The moon and sun are vibrating closely with Uranus, the planet of change, creating a smooth ~flow~ around this full moon.

You’ll crave new things in your life, whether that's as simple as trying the new seasonal offering at Starbucks or as major as accepting a new job offer. Despite this desire for newness, you still don’t want to deal with any major disruption in your life—and fair.

At the same time, Pluto and Saturn are changing signs, making you feel like it’s time to take a major risk. All of these astrological events might have you feeling torn—after all, how can you mix things up in your world while staying as comfortable as humanly possible? Do you take a big swing or stick with what you know?

Ultimately, the universe is pushing for you to try something new—while ensuring you don’t lose what's important to you. For example, if you’re not sure whether you want to see other people or stay in your relationship, take some solid time to think about what it would be like to be without your S.O., along with how that would make you feel.

On the career front, think about your personal values and where you want to go in life. Will that new job you’ve been eyeing help you get there, or is it more of the same?

Now, when it comes to mixing up the fun stuff, like your workout routine or coffee order, just go for it. You’ve got nothing to lose—and so much to gain.

The full moon will impact all zodiac signs, but Page says that Virgo and Pisces will feel it the most.

How will the Full Worm Moon in Virgo impact your future?

At the very least, the Full Worm Moon in Virgo will put change on your brain. Whether you actually act on it is ultimately up to you. But mulling over where things stand and what they can be is an important step toward making sure you’re living your best life, whether it’s in your relationships, career, or other areas.

The full moon will also push you to focus on what’s important to you. And, once you hammer that out, it’ll help ensure you’ll continue to do what you can to protect those things in your life, now and in the future.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon in on April 6, 2023 in the sign of Libra. During this full moon, you’ll feel a serious urge to have balance and harmony in your life.

But, for now, enjoy mixing things up—change can be good!
