There are countless trends that make their way across TikTok, from challenges and dance crazes to the ageing face filter and the recent moon phase trend.
This moon phase trend is being used by couples all over TikTok to assess and analyse their compatibility – by asking them a simple question.
Are you looking at the same moon?
The trend essentially sees couples comparing the moon phase on the day each of them was born, to see how well their moons align.
If the two moons meet in the middle of the screen, placing one at the top and one at the bottom before bringing them together, then the relationship is meant to be. If the moons don’t meet in perfect alignment, then users regard this as a sign that the relationship is likely to fail.
Whether or not this is a good enough reason to break up with a partner is very much a matter of discussion and something that everyone will have their own views on.
Here’s how to try the trend yourself…
Getting Involved With the Moon Phase Trend
The main way of getting involved in this trend is to access a third party site called ‘Phase Moon’.
On this site you can navigate to a page which will show you your birthday moon and that of your partner – creating a short video which shows the two moons meeting in the middle of the screen.
This video can be recorded via the screen record tool on your device and then shared to TikTok.
And voila! Once shared, you can consider yourself part of a growing trend which sees more and more couples putting the fate of their relationship in the hands of moon phases and astrological trends.
