Tik Tok’s latest trend to figure out one’s perfect soulmate has taken the internet by storm. As per the moon phase trend, if the moon phase on your birthday and the moon phase on partner’s birthday, can be brought together to form a ‘perfect’ full moon, then as a couple, you are made for each other.
However, noted astrologers don’t endorse the concept behind the latest trend. In an article by Anna Iovine, mashable.com have quoted astrologer and author Lisa Stardust who said “This isn’t really valid. It has more to do with the zodiac sign of the moon and the whole chart together. It’s not [as] simple as just the lunar phase.”
Stardust explained the significance of the moon phases and said “As the moon grows from new to full it brings us enlightenment and growth.The moon’s phases help us evolve as people and understand our individual needs and the needs of the collective.”
Nonetheless, astrologers like Lauren Ash do agree that phases of the moon at the time of your birth, have an impact on your personality. In an article on popsugar.com, Ash has been quoted for her views on the phases of the moon and how they play a role in a person’s emotional needs and desires. Here are the eight phases of the moon and what they might mean to you if your were born during one of these.
