A new viral trend on TikTok suggests a new way to check for compatibility with your partners. However, is it reliable? Continue reading to find out.

What Is the Moon Phase TikTok Trend?

Many believe one's star sign, horoscope, or birth chart influences their fate. There is a new interest in moon phases on TikTok, which allegedly shows two people's compatibility.

Newsweek reported that the new TikTok trend shows the users' moon phases with another person to determine if they are soulmates.

There are eight phases of the moon, according to NASA. These are the following in order - new Moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full Moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. The cycle repeats once a month.

The phases of the moon depend on the amount of light from the Sun that is reflected off the surface of the moon and onto Earth. Each is also determined by the Moon's position to the Sun while in orbit around the Earth.

The "moon phase soulmate" trend on TikTok claims to be the way to determine one's soulmate by simply layering the two phases and seeing how well they fit together.

If those phases slot together nicely to create a picture of the full Moon, then the people are soulmates, according to the TikTok trend.

How to Calculate Compatibility Using the Moon Phase TikTok Trend

Here is the step-by-step guide to being on trend with the new viral TikTok video.

1. Go onto the moon phases website and enter your birthday to determine your moon phase.

4. Download the CapCut app.

5. Open TikTok and search for another video that shows the trend using a template from CapCut.

Is The Moon Phase Compatibility Test Reliable?

While it is fun to do and be on trend, you should not rely your compatibility solely on the moon phases. According to the Independent, there is no evidence that moon phases have anything to do with compatibility.

So, if you don't like the results, there is no reason to worry about it. Again, Moon doesn't determine your compatibility with your partner or friend.

Also, it's undeniable that the results are aesthetically pleasing no matter the gap, so it will still be fun to try it.
