What is Blood Worm Moon 2025?

The worm moon meaning the March full Moon, will be an extraordinary celestial event that will coincide with the Total Lunar eclipse, which is named the Blood Worm Moon 2025. The total lunar eclipse only occurs once in two to three years, and after 2022, people can witness the first total lunar eclipse of the year, which will take on a reddish hue.

Moreover, the Sun, Earth, and Moon align in a straight line during this time. It’s when the Earth comes between the Sun and Moon, blocking sunlight. Due to this, only red light reaches the Earth’s surface, creating a rare and beautiful view.

Why is March Full Moon called Worm Moon?

Moreover, the March full moon, also known as the blood moon, represents the transition from cold weather to warmer days. Due to changing weather, it brings growth, renewal, and a mood boost.

Hindu Myth about Blood Worm Moon: Rahu and the Lunar Eclipse

According to Hindu mythology, a demon named Rahu wanted to become immortal. He disguised himself, tricked the Devtas and drank the elixir of immortality (Amrita). However, before the amrit (God’s nectar) could pass through his whole body, the Sun and Moon Gods saw him and told Lord Vishnu.

Lord Vishnu in his Mohini Avatar cut off Rahu’s head with his mighty weapon, Sudarshan Chakra. Moreover, as Rahu had already drunk the amrit, his head stayed alive. Rahu was angry at the Sun and Moon for exposing him.

So, he chases them to take revenge, running after them. That’s when Rahu catches Moon and swallows it, causing a lunar eclipse. But, rahu is a bodiless entity and has just a floating head, the Moon comes out his slit throat and the eclipse ends.
