TikTok's Moon Compatibility Test Explained
Here is everything we know about TikTok's latest astrological theory.
If you're already into astrology, you may know a thing or two about the moon's significance when it comes to relationships. Surprisingly, your moon sign can tell a lot more about your compatibility with someone than your sun sign can; however, the latest TikTok trend isn't based on your moon sign but on your moon phase. Your moon sign is part of your zodiac chart, while your moon phase is the stage the moon was in on the day you were born. People on the app are trying to predict the future of their relationships by lining up their birthday moon phases with those of the ones they love.
Learning about your moon phase can be exciting and maybe it could put things into perspective. There are eight phases to be exact, and each one means something different.
New Moon
Those who were born during the new moon phase tend to like adventure and stepping out of their comfort zone. Sometimes, they have a hard time opening up and trusting other people.
Waxing Crescent Moon
If you were born during the waxing crescent phase, that means you lean more towards routine and someone who has their feet on the ground.
First Quarter Moon
People like to describe you as a free bird. You hate being tied down but enjoy everything that life brings. Life is too short to settle for anything less.
Waxing Moon Gibbous
Being born during the Waxing Moon Gibbous phase means you know exactly what you want, and you say it without hesitation. If someone isn't treating you like the queen you are, you're not afraid to send them on their way.
Full Moon
You are extremely selfless when it comes to relationships. The more you give, the better you feel. Although this is a quality you should be proud of, be careful about to whom you give your energy.
Waning Gibbous Moon
If you were born during the Waning Gibbous phase, you want a long-term relationship. You're ready to devote yourself to someone for the rest of your life.
Last Quarter Moon
Being patient and forgiving are two of your most powerful characteristics. You always believe in second chances, and that occasionally gets you in trouble.
Waning Crescent Moon
You're known for being reckless but also as the life of the party. There's never a dull moment with you, which some people find highly entertaining, while others find themselves stressing.
This is how it works. TikTokers are saying if you and your partner's moon phases create a full moon, you're soulmates, and if you both have the same phase, you're twin flames. No, soulmates and twin flames are not the same things, so let's explain. Soulmates are two individuals who are extremely compatible and share many of the same beliefs. Their energies sync beautifully, and it just feels right between them. You can also have more than one soulmate. Twin flames, on the other hand, are said to be a pair who share the same soul. It's a very rare connection, and you only have one during your lifetime. On the off chance that your phases don't line up at all, you and your partner aren't seen as compatible.
Although many of us don't believe in these silly, little trends, there's always the small question of "what if" pulling us in. There's a lot more to your relationship than a moon phase but paying attention to your energies is crucial. If you're ready to see whether you and your partner are the ultimate match, the easiest way to do it is by plugging both of your birthdays into the moon phase calculator. Of course, take the results with a grain of salt. If you're happy in your relationship, that's all that matters, and TikTok can't tell you otherwise.
