The figures
At 06:55 UTC on Friday, March 14, 2025 the Moon reaches 23°57' Virgo with the Sun opposite at 23°57' Pisces. The distance is 401,499 km, 17,099 km further out than the 384,400 km average — near enough to the mean that the apparent size is unremarkable. The degree, 23°57' Virgo, places it in the third decan of Virgo, on the axis that runs across to Pisces. This one is also a total lunar eclipse, so the Moon is within range of a node at 23°57' Virgo rather than merely opposite the Sun. It is the 5th of the 24 lunations dated for 2025, and the cycle it belongs to is set out in what a lunation is.

Why it is called the Worm Moon
The Worm Moon is the traditional North American and European name for the full Moon of March, and in 2025 it falls on March 14, 2025 at 23°57' Virgo. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2025 one lands in Virgo at 23°57' Virgo while other years put it elsewhere.
