Astrologers have long considered the moon to be central to our moods, using it to explain why people seem to be unhinged and restless during full moons, for example. But according to TikTok's latest moon-phase compatibility trend, looking at the moon phase at the time of your birth could reveal how compatible you are with a partner. The trend alleges that if you compare the phase of the moon on your birthday with that of your partner's and your moon phases fit together to create a full moon, you might be a perfect match.
Users are testing their relationship's harmony by inputting their birthdate information into moon-phases calculators online to see if they complete each other. Then, they're using a video editor to create a clip demonstrating how well their moons align. The idea is that if you and your partner create a full moon, it means you've found your person.
"Apparently if your moon phases match up you are soulmates," user kaylahouston03 says, followed by their moon phases creating a full moon. But for other couples like Mattxkayla, whose moon phases were both in the waning gibbous phase, a soulmate connection just isn't written in the stars, according to this TikTok trend. "I think we got the worst moon phase," they wrote.
