New TikTok trend - Find your soul mate based on the phases of the Moon

This trend plays on magical thinking and offers a certain psychological comfort. This has all the hallmarks of a TikTok trend

The “Moon Phase” trend has taken the TikTok platform by storm. The hashtag “Moonphasetrend” has almost 332 million views, not counting other hashtags that are also very popular, such as #moonphase (more than 533 million views), #moonphasetrendcouples (more than 100 million views) and #moonphasesoulmates ( 19.4 million views). Nothing surprising in this since the trend combines romance and astrology, two themes that are popular on the Chinese social network. The last one even has the right to its own universe at TikTok: Astrotok!

How to know your love compatibility?

In the quest for a romantic partner, the latest TikTok trend takes the concept of soulmates to a celestial level: turning to the Moon to find your other half. The principle is simple: just drag the phases of the Moon from the day of birth of both partners, if a full Moon forms... you are soul mates!

Do you find it too good or too simple to be true? You are right. So, if the phases don't line up, wait a bit before packing your bags! In any case, this is what Ben Radford, deputy editor-in-chief of the scientific magazine Skeptical Inquirer, recommends when interviewed by space.com: “What this trend is missing is a real logical link between the phase of the Moon and the personality or the relationship compatibility. Why on earth would the phase of the Moon have any connection or effect on relationship compatibility? ".

But if some users got caught up in the game, a large number preferred to use this trend with humor, by testing their compatibility with friends, family or even with their pet!

“Moon phase”: What does science say about it?

According to NASA, the Moon has only eight phases: new Moon, crescent-waxing, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full Moon, waning gibbous, third quarter, and waning crescent. Which means that based solely on the “moon phase” criterion, the “moon phase” method only allows four possible combinations to make a “whole moon” (new moon and full moon, third quarter moon and first quarter moon, waning gibbous and crescent-waxing, and waning crescent and waxing gibbous.) If we relate the number of possible combinations to the (approximately) 8 billion inhabitants of the earth, and we start from the principle that a category is only compatible with one other category (are you still following?), this means that each person should have around a billion possible “soulmates”... A criterion that the many tiktokers proudly displaying their compatibility (while incompatible souls depress) do not seem to have taken into account.

Full Moon of March 25, 2024: how will the Moon and the eclipse impact astrological signs? (III)

(continuation of this previous post)

Virgo: trust yourself

The Full Moon in Libra gives you the opportunity to obtain tangible and visible results on choices correlated to your dreams. However, there is still a long way to go and you are invited to continue to focus on your qualities. All your stagnation or reversals often come from a little imposter syndrome that this eclipse wants to send back to its home. Free yourself with full confidence.

Libra: a rethinking is necessary

On March 25, 2024, your powerful annual Full Moon is an eclipse and plunges you into a momentary fog that requires you to rely on your inner compass, spirituality and intuition to get through it. If your relationships are still toxic, unbalanced or secretive and the other person is hiding the truth from you, you will have no choice but to find out. These achievements may be difficult but they are necessary. Your view of the world changes and you increasingly accept its flaws and imperfections, as well as your own. Not everything has to be beautiful, but everything has to be true.

Scorpio: the start of a beautiful story?

The Full Moon of March 25 destabilizes you with its eclipse but it is an energy of renewal that you appreciate. Much more optimistic, you will be able to show your best side to others and seduce with your most beautiful smile without being stingy with attention or compliments. A seemingly light flirtation could be the start of a long and beautiful story and, if a reunion with an old love happens, you will be more open to forgiveness and discussion. You now know which foot to dance on.

Sagittarius: you are in luck

The Full Moon in Libra intends to permanently distance you from anything that harms your development. A new meeting, a passion that is revealed and even the formalization of an already existing relationship towards the next stage, will be topical. Luck in love is also determined to push you towards your most joyful and rewarding tomorrow. Take your desires for realities as beautiful as the colors of the rainbow.

Capricorn: you become stronger

The Moon in Libra is an eclipse. It teaches you to compromise with your authority figures. Your bosses, your dad or somewhat dominant partners will not resist your new tact and sense of constructive dialogue. You learn to negotiate and split the pear in two without devaluing yourself. All your old ways of communicating and acting melt away like snow in the sun and you strengthen your bonds, associations and partnerships.

Aquarius: there is still tomorrow

The Moon in Libra and its energy suggest that you lose your memory in order to reset all your counters. The planet Pluto and its great transformation are with you to help this eclipse illuminate the areas of your unconscious which still had limits. Now, like the hermit's lantern, a light guides you. By moving forward slowly but surely, you are leaving a very toxic bond. Empower yourself because the best is yet to come.

Pisces: you change

On March 25, the Moon is in an eclipse that makes the changes in your life more and more palpable. This time you are not dreaming and a big decision has to be made. This return to the material world is only good for you if you maintain confidence in yourself. Follow your desire to move or redecorate and this other who offers you a peace agreement. If you feel the need, don't hesitate for a second to get help from a psychologist or a professional. You create your reality.

Full Moon of March 25, 2024: how will the Moon and the eclipse impact astrological signs? (II)

(continuation of this previous post)

The signs most impacted by the Full Moon of March 25, 2024

Of course, Libra is most affected by these energies of change. Our cards advise you “to no longer accept everything out of love”, Libra friend. Then, for the other Air signs, namely Gemini and Aquarius: “don’t try to save the other and play nurse”. Instead, get out of your usual patterns and understand that this person does not want to be helped. Finally, for all signs of the zodiac: “a rebalancing of our place in all our relationships, associations and partnerships” is underway, do not swim against the tide.

The forecasts for all astrological signs

Don't be afraid of all these energies, we will enlighten you with her detailed forecasts, for each astrological sign.

Aries: you are on the front line

On March 25, the Full Moon in Libra is an eclipse as a finale and shakes up all our relationships. You are first in line to make a wish for happiness for two. Your individuality and independence are not, or no longer, incompatible with a lasting union. If you argue often or if the dialogue is cut off, this will be the time to reopen it to move forward, together or apart but in peace. Your partner must respect your freedom. Single, you become more cautious about your big illusions and beliefs in Prince Charming and the pretty Sleeping Beauty. Get out of competitions because it’s time for big declarations.

Taurus: Say Goodbye to Toxicity

The Full Moon coupled with an eclipse pushes you to abandon all co-dependent or toxic relationships. Difficult conclusions will have to be made and, for once, your interests will have to come first. Be careful not to stay attached to one person, in love or at work, for security or the need for profit. Get out of all competition because you are already rich in yourself. New groups, people and interests await you. A separation or divorce could still mobilize you, defend your interests and prioritize your joy of life above all else.

Gemini: speech frees you

On March 25, the Moon gives you the strength to free yourself from small daily or family troubles that were still taking up too much of your time, money, patience or energy. Air, movement and a real chance to make peace in a complicated relationship are within your reach. A heartfelt conversation might happen or an unexpected encounter in a completely new environment. Your differences will be strengths.

Cancer: change is here

The Moon in Libra highlights your relationships and trials you have gone through. After a breakup, a loss and probably a few complicated years, you finally get back up. Changes are coming for spring and, if you are still single, a more peaceful and quiet meeting. As a couple and as a family, set the intention to stay united despite your differences. Favor quality over quantity in emotional matters and move forward with a lighter heart. You are invited, if you have not already done so, to free yourself from a toxic relationship.

Leo: from surprise to surprise

On March 25, the Moon coupled with an eclipse has a number of surprises in store for you: a meeting, love at first sight or a couple's decision could take place to completely change your romantic reality towards a very beautiful tomorrow. These emotional transformations will be more mature and oriented towards the long term. Believe in it without excessive suspicion because a real relationship opportunity is within your reach.

These 3 signs about to fall in love this March.

Passion is a fire that will burn intensely for 3 signs in March. We reveal to you who is in Cupid's crosshairs.

Passion can conquer anything. Some, often burned by past stories, fear letting themselves be overwhelmed again. Yet there is hardly a sensation more vibrant and alive than feeling these emotions. Like an inner storm, passion can bring out the best and the worst in each of us. Of course, it can also hurt in a very painful way. However, is this really a valid reason not to allow yourself to fully experience an encounter that can also evolve?

Certain astral configurations of this month of March are favorable to very powerful energies in the private and intimate sphere. Some signs can expect huge upheavals on the heart side. For couples, it is also an ideal time to significantly strengthen the relationship. Three signs - aries, leo and taurus - will be particularly affected by these mixed emotions, but it is not impossible that others will also feel the effects.

Aries: a devouring passion to be managed with caution

Passion is a bit like your trademark in love, dear Aries. For you, it's often all or nothing, as dangerous as that can be. The astral configurations of the moment will therefore rather direct you towards everything, and in an intense way. If Cupid targets you, it must be with his entire quiver. You radiate enormous desire and your loved one will be on a real pedestal. Be careful, however, that this does not become oppressive.

Not everyone is made for passionate love, especially since it can burn brightly, but not last. Try to maintain your inner fire to make the pleasure last. 

Taurus: passion burbs

For you, Taurus, emotions are intense, but stable. Your ability to reassure and soothe is strengthened by the energies of the moment that come from your constellation. The passage of Jupiter has nothing to do with it.

Passion in full swing: Leo at the heart of a solid and intense relationship

Passion takes the form of an intense and solid relationship that seems ready to face many trials. This harmony will bring you a lot of well-being and this should have a positive impact on many areas. Your strength will only be greater and you will feel ready to move mountains for your other half. Impossible to think of an allegory of fire without including yourself, dear Leo.

You know fire, even if you often manage to hide it behind an almost distant attitude. Nevertheless, this month of March, undoubtedly boosted by the spring atmosphere, invites you to let your heart and your emotions speak. Your natural charisma is at the top and you don't lack romanticism to show what you feel to your loved one. For singles, chances are many will fall for your aura.

8 Different Types of Soulmates Everyone Will Meet and Love in Their Life (III)

4. The soulmate adventure.

He’s a weird soulmate type. They have the energy and passion for an adventure. This doesn't necessarily mean you're cheating on someone to get that soul mate. You can be alone and also experience it. It’s exciting and different.

5. Soulmate disaster.

This soul mate comes in like a wrecking ball, so to speak. They come into your life and destroy things that are there. They can arrive peacefully and stay for a long time. They appear in our life when peace needs to be broken and monotony needs to end.

6. Soulmate soul friend

This is the most common type of connection in relationships. These are people you have chosen in your life because your ego, intelligence or emotions are in harmony. You essentially share the same tastes, interests, beliefs, sense of humor and values.

7. The teacher soulmate

Soul teachers are made up of all the people in your life who have come to teach you a lesson. They do not necessarily teach intentionally, but often provide solutions to difficult situations in your life to help you overcome and learn from those situations.

8. Soulmate companion

This is closest to what we commonly define as “soulmate” other than romantic attraction. Soul companions can be men or women, friends or family members. While soul friends are harmonized with us through their identities and the ego, soul companions are in sentimental harmony with us. It is for this reason that a soul companion's nature has a much longer lifespan and stability than that of a soul friend.

Soulmates: Their Role in Our Lives

There are an infinity of souls that we will meet during our lives. While some come to teach us something new, others come to share our joys. While some only last a few months or years, others last a lifetime.

Why do soulmates come into our lives

Soulmates come into our lives in three ways: for a reason, for a season and for a lifetime.

It's important to know this distinction because once you know why a soul mate came into your life, you can know what to expect from this connection. Too often we find couples, who are still clinging to the dead flower of a relationship that was once blooming, but has reached the end of its season. So, take a closer look at this:

For a reason

When you find a soul mate for a reason, it's usually to fill a need that has been expressed in your life. This can be indicative, assistance in difficult times, support, deep conversations or simply being there for you physically, emotionally or spiritually. This encounter can last a moment or a lifetime, depending on the type of soul relationship.

For a season

Then there is the soul mate for a season, the people who come into our lives only momentarily. These people can serve as catalysts for sharing, growing, and learning, or they can show up at a time when we need to overcome our fears of vulnerability, or when we need someone to challenge our belief system, or even when we need to discover a passion we didn't know we had. Whatever the reason, these kindred spirits are only seasonal and leave you once their gift has been passed on.

For all the life

Lifelong relationships are primarily twin flame connections. They teach us lessons that are so deep, so complex that they require a lifetime to deeply assimilate the teachings.

In lifelong connections, one person's strengths are used to strengthen the other, and the harmony between the two is so peaceful and flows so well that it often lasts a lifetime. These relationships are so rare and very precious, that we should feel immensely happy if we encounter them during our lives.

8 Different Types of Soulmates Everyone Will Meet and Love in Their Life (II)

Soulmates serve as our mirrors. What we see in another soul reflects our own soul.

When we are able to see other souls as "companions", (including our enemies), as members of our family who are there to teach us life lessons, our entire perception and relationship with others other people changes entirely.

Different Types of Soulmates

In our language we have the word “friend”, and the word “soul mate” which is essentially romantic in nature. But how would you describe someone who falls somewhere in between? Someone who is more than just a “best friend,” but lacks the romantic attraction of a “soul mate”?

We need to create new words to express these relationships we have with others. Here are some words that help distinguish these deep connections we have in life:

1. The soul mate friend.

No, not all soulmates will be romantics. A soulmate friend is essentially your “best friend,” but for life. You never lose track of them and they never lose track of you. They are your soulmate friend.

2. Spiritual soulmate.

This is someone you connect with on a spiritual level more than others for no apparent reason. He is often also a platonic soul mate. You feel like you've known each other for ages, but it's not a romantic, intimate relationship.

3. The foreign soulmate.

The foreign soulmate is a soul mate who leaves as quickly as she came. The relationship is brief and often completely platonic. It's a new friend, a best friend, who moves away a year later, who simply loses all contact with you.
