Full Moon Names for March

Every month our wonderful moon goes through its phases, waning and waxing in its constant transformation from new moon to full moon and back again. Full moons occur every 29.5 days approximately as the moon moves to the side of Earth directly opposite the sun, reflecting the sun's rays off its full face and appearing as a brilliant, perfectly circular disk. When the Moon is full, there is strong gravitational pull between the Moon on one side of the earth and the Sun on the other. This type of energy can have a great effect on human beings as we are pulled in opposite directions.

Since they we been on our planet, humans have used the movement of the moon to keep track of the passing year and set schedules for hunting, planting, and harvesting. Ancient cultures the world over have given these full moons names based on the behavior of the plants, animals, or weather during that month
