Moon Phase TikTok Trend? How to Calculate Your Compatibility

A trend on TikTok claims that people compare the moon on the day they were born to see if they are true "soul mates".

The trend shows people creating a hilarious video that compares the phases of the moon on the day two people were born

If these phases slot together nicely—combining to create a picture of a full moon—then people are soul mates, the trend suggests.

And making your own using a few online tools is neat and easy.

Of course, there is no evidence that the phase of the moon actually determines how compatible you are. So if the result is not to your liking then no need to worry about it.

The way the template works means that the moon looks good in most image formats - so even if there is a gap, it tends to be aesthetically pleasing.

The first thing to do to make one of the videos is to go to a site that tracks the phases of the moon, such as this one. It lets you use a calendar to select any date in history and get a picture of what the moon will look like that night.

Take a screenshot of the moon phase on your own birthday or save the image and then do the same for anyone you want to do the trend with. You will need to save them for later.

Now it's time to actually make the video. Although it's a bit more complicated, there are tools that make it relatively easy - and the most popular is Capcut.

Download the app on iOS and Android and use it to find a template with trends. You'll then be able to create your own, adding screenshots you've saved before as well as including any text you'd like, such as your and your partner's name and even birthday.

You can then preview the video to see how beautifully the two moons look together. Capcut lets you upload videos directly, so you can place and post them directly on TikTok, though, of course, you can save them as private videos.
