Early tomorrow morning, Mar. 3, 2026, the skies will host something spiritually stirring. March’s full moon—traditionally known as the Worm Moon—will coincide with a total lunar eclipse, causing the moon to glow a deep copper-red in what many call a “blood moon.”
According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the worm moon will reach peak illumination at 6:38 a.m. Eastern Time, just minutes after totality in the lunar eclipse at approximately 6:33 a.m. ET. As the Old Farmer’s Almanac noted, the title of “worm moon” dates back to early Native American and colonial American traditions. It supposedly marks when the frozen ground starts to thaw, and earthworms reappear, representing new life.
However, this year the “worm moon” will coincide with a total lunar eclipse, and sunlight filtering through Earth’s atmosphere refracts, allowing only longer red and orange wavelengths to reach the moon.

Scripture repeatedly reminds us that the skies declare more than physics. In Genesis 1:14, God established the lights in the heavens “for signs and for seasons.”
In Joel 2:31, the prophet writes, “The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord.” Acts 2:20 echoes the same prophetic imagery.
What makes this moment striking is not merely the rarity of the event, but the cultural climate surrounding it. As we see the collapse of the Iranian regime and Purim falling at the same time as this blood moon, it points to a powerful, prophetic escalation in our current times.
This blood-worm-moon serves as more than a celestial spectacle—it is a reminder that God still speaks through the heavens. The skies are testifying, and we must look up, discern the times as we draw closer to the Second Coming of Jesus.
