How March Slipped From First Month to Third

March once opened the year. Its name, its length and its place in the calendar all trace back to Rome, with a few surprising echoes that reach the present day.

🌱
8th century BCE

Martius leads the earliest Roman year

In the calendar tradition attached to Romulus, the year had ten months and began with Martius. New Year fell on the first of March, and the leftover winter days were simply not counted. The names September to December still carry their old numbers: seventh to tenth.

⚔️
Early Roman religion

A month for Mars, war and the growing season

The name honours Mars, who was a god of war but also of fields and herds. March marked the return of both campaigning and farming after winter, and priests known as the Salii spent part of the month dancing through Rome with sacred shields in his honour.

📜
c. 713 BCE

Two new months push March down the list

Tradition credits King Numa Pompilius with adding January and February, which turned March into the third month on paper. Even so, the working year kept starting on March 1 for centuries, so the change of numbering took a long time to matter in daily life.

🏛️
153 BCE

Officials take office in January instead

When the Senate moved the start of the consuls’ term to January 1, March lost its role as the opening of the civil year. The month kept its 31 days, and the later Julian reform of 45 BCE left that length unchanged.

🗡️
March 15, 44 BCE

The Ides of March enters history

Barely a year after the Julian calendar took effect, Julius Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March. The Romans reckoned dates from three fixed points in each month, and in March the Ides fell on the 15th, which is why that date became a byword for foreboding.

🧾
1752

Britain finally moves its New Year off March 25

England and its colonies counted the legal year from Lady Day, March 25, until the 1752 calendar reform, which also dropped eleven days. The echo survives in the UK tax year, which still begins on April 6, the old March 25 shifted by those eleven days plus a further day lost in 1800.

Calendars That Start the Year Around March

This page follows the Gregorian calendar, where March is simply the third month. Several other systems put their new year, or a major festival, at the same point in the spring.

🌐

Gregorian Calendar

Solar · 365/366 days

March is month three and always has 31 days. It inherits whatever weekday February ends on, which is why March 2027 opens on a Monday straight after a Sunday, February 28. In a leap year the extra February day pushes March 1 one weekday later.

🏛️

Early Roman Calendar

Traditional · 10 months, 304 days

The oldest Roman year is remembered as starting on March 1, with its first day known as the Kalends of Martius. It is the reason the Latin numerals inside September, October, November and December no longer match those months’ positions.

🌷

Persian (Solar Hijri) Calendar

Solar · 365/366 days

The year opens with Nowruz, tied to the March equinox. If the equinox arrives before noon in Tehran, that day is the first of Farvardin; if it arrives later, the year starts the next day. In 2027 the equinox lands at 23:55 Tehran time on March 20, so Nowruz is observed on March 21.

🇮🇳

Indian National (Saka) Calendar

Solar · 365/366 days

Adopted as India’s official civil calendar on March 22, 1957, it begins each year with Chaitra 1 on March 22, or March 21 in a Gregorian leap year. Saka year 1949 starts on March 22, 2027, and the government uses it alongside the Gregorian dates.

🌙

Islamic (Hijri) Calendar

Lunar · 354/355 days

Ramadan, the ninth month, closes in the second week of March in 2027, with Eid al-Fitr on 1 Shawwal expected around March 10. Because the lunar year is about eleven days shorter than the solar one, that is roughly ten days earlier than in 2026.

⛪

Julian Calendar & Old Style Dates

Solar · 365.25 days

The Julian calendar now runs 13 days behind the Gregorian one, so Orthodox churches that use it for Easter celebrate on May 2, 2027, five weeks after Western Easter on March 28. Until 1752, England also treated March 25 as the first day of its legal year.

Does a Leap Year Change March?

March never changes length, but it sits right after February, so a leap day does shift its weekdays and its day-of-year numbers. 2027 is a common year.

📅 Common Year (2027)

365 days

February has 28 days, so March 1 is day 60 of the year and March 31 is day 90. In 2027 that puts March 1 on a Monday, and February, March and November all open on a Monday.

vs

🐸 Leap Year (2028)

366 days

February reaches 29 days, so March 1 becomes day 61 and March 31 day 91. Both months still have their usual lengths, but March 1, 2028 falls on a Wednesday instead of a Tuesday.

Finding the weekday of March 1

1Start with the weekday of January 1 (Friday in 2027)
2Common year? Add 3 weekdays, since 59 days is eight weeks and three days (Friday + 3 = Monday)
3Leap year? Add 4 weekdays, since 60 days is eight weeks and four days (2028: Saturday + 4 = Wednesday)

This is why February and March begin on the same weekday in every common year. A year counts as a leap year when it divides by 4, except century years that do not divide by 400, so 2028 and 2032 qualify, while 2100 does not. Because the extra day always lands in February, none of that ever alters how many days March has.

A Sharp, Well-Fitted March Printout

A few settings decide whether your March page comes out crisp and centred or cropped and fuzzy.

🖨️ Print in five steps

  1. Pick the paper first. Set A4, Letter or A3 in the builder before exporting, so the grid is drawn for that page size.
  2. Save the PDF and open it in your browser or a PDF reader.
  3. Open the print dialog with Ctrl + P on Windows or ⌘ + P on a Mac.
  4. Choose Fit to page (also called fit to printable area) and match the orientation you designed.
  5. Look over the print preview once more; avoid Actual size if you changed paper after exporting.

💡 Handy extras

  • For a wall or noticeboard, choose A3; the March grid stays sharp when enlarged.
  • To save ink, pick a lighter accent and turn off weekend shading, or use Blank Calendar for a plain grid.
  • Use 120–160 gsm paper if the page will stay up all month.
  • PNG works well as a phone or desktop wallpaper, while PDF is the safer choice for printers.
  • Printing for a class or team? One page per person keeps everyone from wasting paper.

March Trivia Worth Knowing

Nine short facts about the month, checked against the calendar and the history books.

01

March is named after Mars, the Roman god of war, who was also honoured as a protector of crops and herds. That double role suited the month when campaigning and planting both restarted.

02

In the earliest Roman calendar, March was the first month and its first day was New Year’s Day. The month names September to December, from the Latin for seven to ten, still remember that.

03

March 2027 opens on a Monday and closes on a Wednesday, so Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday each appear five times, while the other four weekdays appear four times.

04

The Ides of March fall on the 15th, a Monday in 2027. Only March, May, July and October had their Ides on the 15th; in the other eight months they landed on the 13th.

05

March’s birthstones are aquamarine and bloodstone, and its birth flower is the daffodil, which blooms as winter loosens its hold across much of the Northern Hemisphere.

06

Easter lands in March in 2027, on the 28th, for the first time since 2024. Its earliest possible date is March 22 and its latest is April 25.

07

March 2027 sits inside ISO weeks 9 to 13. Week 13 starts on Monday, March 29 and finishes on Sunday, April 4, so the month’s last three days share a week with the first four of April.

08

The March equinox arrives on March 20 at 20:25 UTC. That is still the 20th in London and Toronto, but already the 21st in Mumbai, Dubai, Manila and Sydney.

09

In the tropical zodiac the Sun moves from Pisces into Aries at the equinox, so the sign changes around March 20 or 21 depending on the time zone.

March & Calendar Myths, Sorted Out

Several popular claims about March and the calendar turn out to be only half true.

Myth

The Ides of March is the 15th of every month.

Reality

Only in March, May, July and October. In the other eight months the Ides were the 13th, because the Romans counted from three fixed points in each month: the Kalends, the Nones and the Ides.

Myth

Spring always begins on March 21.

Reality

The equinox falls on March 19, 20 or 21 depending on the year and the time zone. In 2027 it happens at 20:25 UTC on March 20, which is already March 21 across most of Asia and Australasia.

Myth

Easter always falls in April.

Reality

It can land anywhere from March 22 to April 25. In 2027 it is on March 28, the Sunday after the first full moon on or after the church’s fixed March 21 equinox date.

Myth

Every country changes its clocks on the same day.

Reality

North America moves on the second Sunday of March (March 14 in 2027) and Europe on the last Sunday (March 28), while Australia and New Zealand turn clocks back in April. India, the UAE and the Philippines do not change them at all.

Myth

March has always been the third month.

Reality

In the earliest Roman calendar it was the first. The civil year moved to January in 153 BCE, and England kept March 25 as the legal start of the year until 1752.

Myth

A leap year changes how long March lasts.

Reality

Only February gains a day. March keeps its 31 days, although the leap day does move every later date one weekday further along than it would go in an ordinary year.

One Month, Four Seasonal Stories

March straddles the equinox, so it feels like the start of spring in one hemisphere and the start of autumn in the other. Here is how it plays out depending on where you live.

🌸

Spring

Northern Hemisphere

Meteorological spring begins on March 1 and astronomical spring on the equinox, March 20. Daffodils open across Europe and North America, and cherry blossom typically starts to appear in southern Japan toward the end of the month.

🍇

Autumn

Southern Hemisphere

Australia, New Zealand, southern Africa and southern South America enter autumn on March 1 by the meteorological reckoning. Heat eases, evenings cool, and the grape harvest is in full swing in many wine regions.

☀️

Heat Building

South Asia & the Gulf

Across much of India and the Gulf, temperatures climb quickly as the cooler months end. Festivals such as Holi are tied to the change of season and the late-winter crop harvest.

❄️

Late Winter Lingers

Cold Northern Regions

Northern Canada, Scandinavia, Russia and mountain areas often still see snow. Days lengthen fast, though, and in eastern Canada and the northeastern US, sap runs for maple syrup as freezing nights meet milder days.

March 2027 Festivals and Events

Six March occasions worth pencilling in, with the 2027 dates where they are fixed or expected.

🎨🎨
India & Nepal

Holi, the Festival of Colours

Maha Shivaratri on Saturday, March 6 opens the run-up. Most panchangs place Holika Dahan on the evening of Sunday, March 21 and the colour-throwing day on Monday, March 22, while India’s central holiday list shows Tuesday, March 23. Dates differ by region.

☘️☘️
Ireland

St Patrick’s Day

Wednesday, March 17 is a public holiday in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Parades, music and green-themed events follow the Irish diaspora from Dublin to New York and Sydney.

💜💜
Worldwide

International Women’s Day

Marked on Monday, March 8, it grew out of early twentieth-century labour movements and has been recognised by the United Nations since 1975. Some countries treat it as a public holiday; most simply mark it with events and campaigns.

🌙🌙
Muslim world

Eid al-Fitr

The festival that ends Ramadan is expected on Wednesday, March 10, subject to the crescent moon sighting. The UAE’s break is expected to run around March 9–12, and the Philippines will announce its holiday by separate proclamation.

🐣🐣
Worldwide

Holy Week & Easter

Palm Sunday is March 21, Good Friday March 26, Easter Sunday March 28 and Easter Monday March 29. Eastern Orthodox churches that follow the Julian calendar celebrate later, on May 2.

🌷🌷

When is Eid al-Fitr in 2027?+
Eid al-Fitr is expected on Wednesday, March 10, 2027, but the date depends on the crescent moon sighting and can shift by a day. The UAE's break is expected to run around March 9 to 12, India's central government list shows March 10, and the Philippines will announce its date in a separate proclamation. Check the official announcement a day or two before.
When is Holi in 2027?+
Most panchangs place Holika Dahan on the evening of Sunday, March 21, 2027 and Rangwali Holi, the day of colours, on Monday, March 22. India's central government holiday list, however, shows Holi on Tuesday, March 23. Dates vary by region and tradition, so check your local calendar. Maha Shivaratri falls earlier, on Saturday, March 6.
When are the moon phases in March 2027?+
The new moon falls on March 8 at 09:29 UTC and the full moon on March 22 at 10:43 UTC. That full moon is the one that fixes Easter on March 28. Turn on the moon-phase option to mark both dates on the calendar.
When do the clocks change in March 2027?+
Most of the US and Canada move clocks forward one hour on Sunday, March 14. The UK, Ireland and the EU do so on Sunday, March 28. Australia and New Zealand move their clocks back in early April, and India, the UAE and the Philippines do not change their clocks.
When does spring start in 2027?+
The March equinox occurs on March 20, 2027 at 20:25 UTC, which marks the astronomical start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. In India, the UAE, the Philippines, Australia and New Zealand the local date is already March 21. Meteorological spring begins earlier, on March 1.
Can the week start on Sunday instead of Monday?+
Yes. Use the Week starts on switch and the grid redraws immediately in the preview and in your download. Monday is the default because it follows the ISO week standard.
What are the ISO week numbers in March 2027?+
March 2027 falls in ISO weeks 9 to 13. Week 9 starts on Monday, March 1, and week 13 starts on Monday, March 29 and runs to Sunday, April 4, so the last three days of March share a week with the start of April. Turn on week numbers to add the column.
Is 2027 a leap year, and does that change March?+
No, 2027 is not a leap year, and March always has 31 days regardless. A leap day is added to February, which shifts the weekday of March 1 forward by one extra day: March 1 is a Monday in 2027 but a Wednesday in the leap year 2028.

Where does the name March come from?+
It comes from Martius, the Latin name of the month, which honoured Mars, the Roman god of war. March was the first month of the early Roman calendar, and the year began on March 1 until the civil year moved to January.
