After 4.53 billion years, the moon is finally having a moment thanks to TikTok. And by moon, we're referring to Earth's one-and-only gigantic glistening satellite. (If you're from another planet and have questions about your moon(s), this article may not be for you).
The latest trend on TikTok involves researching what phase the moon was in on the day you were born. For example, maybe you were born on a date that had a full moon? Or a waning crescent?

Depending on the phase the moon was in, it could indicate specific qualities about you and the way you connect with others. What do we mean by this? Keep scrolling to learn all about the moon phase trend on TikTok.

What is the moon phase trend on TikTok and why are users so obsessed with it?
First thing's first: Lunar energy is by no means a new concept. The idea that the moon gives off different energies depending on what phase it's in has been around for centuries. But what is new here, is the desire to learn what phase the moon was in on the day you were born.
As a refresher, there are eight moon phases: new moon (not to be confused with the second book of the Twilight saga), waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent.
Looking up your birthdate moon phase is similar to looking up your zodiac sign. And just like with zodiac signs, folks are comparing their moon phase with their significant other's moon phase to see how compatible they are.

Here's how to find out your moon phase from your birthdate:
So, you're looking to find out what phase the moon was in on the day you were born? Well, first you'll need a time machine and a telescope.
Kidding! Thankfully the internet is here to save the day. You can easily find your birthdate moon phase on Moonglow.com (click the Moon Phase Calculator button in the upper right-hand corner) or on Moonjoy.com. Just enter your date of birth and bam, you'll be presented with an image of the moon and a description of what qualities you may have been born with.

For example, my birthdate moon phase on Moonglow.com reads that "those born during this phase are wise beyond their years and are often the friend everyone goes to for advice."
I can definitely agree with that. (Although, I will not be taking comments from my haters!)
Here's how couples can compare moon phases:
I looked up what phase the moon was in on my birthday and my husband’s birthday…
mine: 🌔
his: 🌘I’m crying, they complete each other 🥺

Once you know your birthdate moon phase, you can then look up that of your partner's (all you'll need is their birthday).
Already users are getting emotional with the results, citing that their moons complete each other.
Other couples are taking a different route and looking up the moon phase on the day they got together or started dating. For example, one TikTok user shared that she and her boyfriend "got together on a FULL MOON😍😍😍😍😍," along with a photo of the Nov. 19, 2021 full moon and partial lunar eclipse.
So, should you and/or your partner take these moon phases seriously? That's all up to you. Some really believe in the powers of the moon while others take it with a grain of salt. Either way, it's still a fun bit of information to dig into.

Why does the Moon have phases?
At the new Moon phase, the Moon is so close to the Sun in the sky that none of the side facing Earth is illuminated (position 1 in illustration).
In other words, the Moon is between Earth and Sun. At first quarter, the half-lit Moon is highest in the sky at sunset, then sets about six hours later (3). At full Moon, the Moon is behind Earth in space with respect to the Sun. As the Sun sets, the Moon rises with the side that faces Earth fully exposed to sunlight (5).The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change. The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days. The Moon spends the extra 2.2 days "catching up" because Earth travels about 45 million miles around the Sun during the time the Moon completes one orbit around Earth.

You can create a mockup of the relationship between Sun, Earth, and Moon using a bright lamp, a basketball, and a baseball. Mark a spot on the basketball, which represents you as an observer on Earth, then play with various alignments of Earth and Moon in the light of your imaginary Sun.
When is the Harvest Moon?
The full Moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox is commonly referred to as the "Harvest Moon," since its bright presence in the night sky allows farmers to work longer into the fall night, reaping the rewards of their spring and summer labors. Because the equinox always falls in late September, it is generally a full Moon in September which is given this name, although in some years the full Moon of early October earns the "harvest" designation.
In fact, each full Moon of the year has its own name, most of which are associated with the weather or agriculture.
The most common names used in North America include:
- January -- Moon after Yule
- February -- Snow Moon
- March -- Sap Moon
- April -- Grass Moon
- May -- Planting Moon
- June -- Honey Moon
- July -- Thunder Moon
- August -- Grain Moon
- September -- Fruit Moon (or Harvest Moon)
- October -- Hunter's Moon (or Harvest Moon)
- November -- Frosty Moon
- December -- Moon before Yule
What is a Blue Moon and when is the next one?
Because the time between two full Moons doesn't quite equal a whole month, approximately every three years there are two full Moons in one calendar month. Over the past few decades, the second full Moon has come to be known as a "blue Moon." The next time two full Moons occur in the same month (as seen from the United States) will be July 2015. The most recent "blue Moon" occurred in August 2012.
On average, there's a Blue Moon about every 33 months. Blue Moons are rare because the Moon is full every 29 and a half days, so the timing has to be just right to squeeze two full Moons into a calendar month.
The timing has to be really precise to fit two Blue Moons into a single year. It can only happen on either side of February, whose 28-day span is short enough time span to have NO full Moons during the month.
The term "blue Moon" has not always been used this way, however. While the exact origin of the phrase remains unclear, it does in fact refer to a rare blue coloring of the Moon caused by high-altitude dust particles. Most sources credit this unusual event, occurring only "once in a blue moon," as the true progenitor of the colorful phrase.
Why do we always see the same side of the Moon from Earth?
The Moon always shows us the same face because Earth's gravity has slowed down the Moon's rotational speed. The Moon takes as much time to rotate once on its axis as it takes to complete one orbit of Earth. (Both are about 27.3 Earth days.) In other words, the Moon rotates enough each day to compensate for the angle it sweeps out in its orbit around Earth.
Gravitational forces between Earth and the Moon drain the pair of their rotational energy.
We see the effect of the Moon in the ocean tides. Likewise, Earth's gravity creates a detectable bulge -- a 60-foot land tide -- on the Moon. Eons from now, the same sides of Earth and Moon may forever face each other, as if dancing hand in hand, though the Sun may balloon into a red giant, destroying Earth and the Moon, before this happens.
When does the young Moon first become visible in the evening sky?
There is no real formula for determining the visibility of the young Moon. It depends on several factors: the angle of the ecliptic (the Moon's path across the sky) with respect to the horizon, the clarity of the sky (how much dust and pollution gunks it up), and even the keenness of the observer's eyesight.
The young Moon becomes visible to the unaided eye much earlier at times when the ecliptic is perpendicular to the horizon, and the Moon pops straight up into the sky. In these cases, it may be possible to see the Moon as little as 24 hours after it was new, although every hour beyond that greatly increases the chances of spotting it.
When the ecliptic is at a low angle to the horizon, and the Moon moves almost parallel to the horizon as it rises, the Moon probably doesn't become visible until at least 36 hours past new.
The record for the earliest claimed sighting of the young crescent Moon is around 19 hours, although most experts are suspicious of any claims of times less than about 24 hours.
The Moon - Lunar calendar
on the App StoreDescription
The Moon is a lunar calendar with daily recommendations for any location from 0001 to 2100.
The lunar calendar is one of the oldest calendars on Earth, it is based on the ancient knowledge of the movement of the Moon across the sky. Tracking the phases of the moon and observing natural phenomena, people came to the conclusion that the rhythms of the surrounding world are consistent with the change of lunar phases, and harmony in nature is subject to the energy of the moon.
The lunar calendar includes 29 or 30 lunar days.
The lunar month lasts from one new moon to the next. During this time, the moon goes through several phases, called quarters.

MOON IN THE SIGN OF GEMINI d 12° 06'
On such days people feel a surge of energy and a desire to be active. However, along with this, suggestibility increases, the risk of becoming subject to various influences from outside. You need to try very hard to cope with a fleeting impulse and avoid mistakes, having strayed from the intended course. These days, people's ability to reason is "turned off", and they attend meaningless events, waste time on empty talk and money on unnecessary things. And after that, they ask themselves with surprise: “What got into me?”
During this period, people feel an irresistible craving for communication and unlimited expansion of contacts. They get acquainted with great willingness and enthusiasm, and then they realize that they do not need half of the new acquaintances at all.
In the days of Gemini people become more receptive, emotional. Any little thing can cause a violent reaction.
However, it is worth noting that the emotions and feelings experienced are superficial - among them there are no deep, strong and real ones. People waste their mental and physical strength on a bunch of trifling things, trying to finish them in one fell swoop, but at the same time almost all of them remain unfinished.
On such days, the need for a change of scenery, for new experiences increases, so it is useful to take short walks around the city or car trips. Loneliness and solitude are only harmful. Meetings with friends and relatives will bring a lot of positive emotions and joyful impressions.
