Dance Piggies & Wormies! It's the Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse! 🐹 🌔 ❤️ 🪱 🪱 🪱 🪱

"🎶 Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes ..."

~Van Morrison, Moondance, 1969

Grab your piggy (and any handy worms) and dance just a little later tonight outside and may just see the Blood Worm Moon Eclipse! The full moon nearly always appears coppery red during a total lunar eclipse because the dispersed light from all the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets falls on the face of the moon at mid-eclipse. Other names for the full moon in March are Worm Moon, Sap Moon, Plough Moon, and Wind Moon!

The March full moon is called the Worm Moon because it marks the time when the ground begins to thaw, and earthworms start to appear. This signals the return of robins and other birds that feed on them, marking the shift from winter to spring. The name originates from Native American, Colonial American, and European traditions, reflecting the seasonal changes observed at this time of year.

Check your local moonwatcher for exact viewing times for your location!

And watch the Kilauea volcano and unusual earthquake swarms already swarming! Keep yourself and those piggies safe! There's a lot going on! 🌋 🌋 🌋

Wheek! Wheek!
