How To Use the TikTok Moon Phase Filter To Find Your Soulmate

Moon Phase Soulmate Trend

Astrology has been a hot topic for a while, so it's no surprise when a new social media trend emerges, promising to help you find love. The TikTok moon phase soulmate trend is the latest astrology craze to take the internet by storm. Your moon sign represents your emotional side and reveals the type of people you feel most comfortable opening up to emotionally. According to this trend, combining your and your partner's moon phases and making a full moon together means you've found a soulmate connection. Most people trying this trend out have been using it to test their romantic compatibility. However, you can use the moon phase test to measure your cosmic chemistry with anyone.

While you might think it's impossible for a TikTok filter to help you find your soulmate, experts say there is some truth to the trend. Romantic compatibility is a mix of several celestial influences. In astrology, the phase of the moon you were born under can speak to who you are under the surface. The moon can relate to how you express affection, nurture others, and share your inner world with others. Just like the zodiac sign your moon is positioned in can show you about your emotions and intuition–the phase of the moon you were born under can influence your personality, romantic life, values, and spiritual calling.

What Are the Different Moon Phases?

There are eight moon phases in astrology: new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. It takes the moon 28 days to complete an entire lunar cycle, and each lunar phase holds significant spiritual energy and significance. In the same way that the new moon or full moon can influence a person when it graces the night sky, the moon phase you were born under can significantly change your worldview. Once you learn what each lunar phase symbolizes, you'll be able to sense the moon's influence on people's energy and vibes.

How To Find Your Moon Phase

The easiest way to find the moon phase you were born under is to use a free online moon phase calculator, like this one, and input your birth chart information. However, you don't need to do this step in order to do the TikTok moon phase trend for yourself.

How to Do the TikTok Moon Phase Trend

Like most viral trends, the moon phase soulmate test has its own TikTok filter that you can use without having to download a separate application. The only thing you'll need are the birthdays of both people whose compatibility you want to test.

Here’s how you can make your own moon phase video:

  • Open the TikTok app on your phone and click the search tab

  • Find the 'Moon Phase Test' filter and select the 'Use this effect' button

  • Put in your birthday and the other person’s birthday

  • Film your video and watch as your moon phase compatibility is revealed

What the Moon Phase You Were Born in Says About You

New Moon

People born under the new moon are outgoing and ambitious people in all aspects of life. Your favorite part of falling in love is the beginning stages of getting to know someone. However, you can be difficult to pin down and avoid relationships with people who are too controlling. Your goal is to balance your ambition in life without acting selfishly in love while also maintaining your independence.

Waxing Crescent Moon

People born under the waxing crescent are bold and determined individuals who don't shy away from socializing. You look to play the dating scene and always want to connect with people when you go out. While it's easy for you to spark a conversation, getting deep with one person can be a challenge. Learn to be vulnerable with others and form meaningful bonds with those around you.

First Quarter Moon

Those born under a first quarter moon are more reserved and cautious in love than most. You hold yourself in high regard and have high standards for romance, meaning you don't make concessions about love. So, the ideal partner for you is someone who challenges you to be your best while having their own ambitions to drive them.

Waxing Gibbous

When you're born under a waxing gibbous moon, you take a practical and grounded approach to dating. Relationships bring out the best in you, so you take them seriously—no casual flings. You're confident in what you bring to the table, and you're looking for someone to join forces with so you can become the ultimate power couple.

Full Moon

If you were born under the full moon, you approach dating with an open heart and mind. You have a reputation for being sensitive and hopelessly romantic in love, and your loyalty lasts a lifetime. It's easy to lose yourself in another person if you fall in love. The key for you is to find relationships that are equally nurturing and beneficial for you.

Waning Gibbous

People born under this lunar phase take a logical approach to love. You understand that dating and marriage are about more than feelings–it's about tangling your life up with another person. And because you tend to be more introverted, you won't make your move until you know it's a sure thing. Your goal is to be more outgoing and expressive in love.

Last Quarter

People born under a last quarter moon love to go with the flow regarding matters of the heart. This 'cooler than you attitude' is very attractive to people, and you like keeping things casual. Commitment can be a bigger challenge for you. You crave a love that feels liberating rather than constricting. And when you find that special someone, your romance will open up a new world of possibilities.

Waning Crescent

If you were born under a waning crescent moon, you can be reckless in love. You like to have fun, no strings attached. You understand the transformative power that true love can bring, so you don't let anyone get too close to knowing the real you. However, under your aloof attitude is someone looking for a love connection. The best relationships for you will be raw, passionate, and exciting while allowing you to show off your softer side.

Does the Moon Phase Soulmate Trend Really Work?

While the moon phase soulmate trend is fun, don’t sweat it if your moon phases don’t align for a perfect match. Astrologers say this trend is better for showing off your love online than predicting whether you’ve found the one. For that, you'd want to find your Venus sign, which rules romance, attraction, and desire. You may also want to look at your seventh house, which symbolizes your romantic relationships and long-term connection. You can also check out your Mars (passion), Mercury (communication), Jupiter (good fortune), and Juno (marriage). Any combination of these placements can show you the strength of your connection with someone and whether you're destined to be together.
