The lunar calendar has influenced human culture since time immemorial. And 2019 will  be no exception. This year, the Moon is busy! March’s full moon, also known as the “Full Worm Moon“ (more on this later), will reach its peak on the very same day as the vernal equinox, which signifies the official beginning of spring. The vernal, or ”spring,” equinox is one of two moments in the year when the sun is exactly above the equator. On this day, day and night are of equal length.

You have to admit, there’s something very cosmically compelling about that.
