New TikTok trend alert! This moon phase calculator has gone viral on the app and here's how you can play.
The video-sharing app is no stranger to a trend with users jumping on everything from dance crazes to personality quizzes.
The latest fad involves TikTokers matching up the phase of the moon on the day that they were born with their partners to see their 'compatibility'.
The better your moon phase fits together with another person, the more likely that you are 'soulmates', the trend says.
Whether you're a sucker for all things star signs or you just fancy joining in on the fun, here's everything you need to know.
How to calculate your moon phase compatibility on TikTok
All you need to do is follow these ten steps to try it for yourself:
- Firstly, visit the moonphases website and enter your birthday
- Next, screenshot the moon phase and crop it the way that you like it.
- You then need to enter your partner's information and crop the moon phase to the same size.
- Moving away from the Moonphases website, you should ensure that you have downloaded the CapCut app ahead of time.
- This is where you can go to TikTok find a video doing the soulmate trend using the CapCut template. ( simply search moon phase soulmates if it's not all over your FYP already!)
- You can then select ‘CapCut Try this template,’ then ‘Use template in CapCut.’
- In CapCut, tap ‘use template.’
- From ‘Photos,’ select your two images of the moon, then ‘preview.’
- From here, you can edit the text to change it to your and your partner’s birthdays.
- Click ‘Add sound in TikTok’ to export it

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
