Alright, hear me out. You know how people love to talk about star signs and retrogrades and all that jazz? Well, here’s one for the pub quiz you didn’t know you needed—what phase the moon was in when you popped out of the womb actually says a fair bit about your vibe. No, really. And don’t worry, I’m not about to start burning sage or telling you Mercury’s got a personal vendetta against your love life. But if you’ve ever felt like your emotional thermostat is set a few notches too high—or like you were born with an inbuilt “let’s start a new hobby every Thursday” button—your moon phase might be to blame.
Let’s set the scene. Picture the night sky when you were born. Was it a giant glowing dinner plate lighting up the street like you were arriving on stage? Or was it a skinny little crescent looking like it’s halfway through a nap? That moon was doing more than looking pretty. It was setting the tone for your internal compass. Your moon phase is like the emotional background music to your life—sometimes dramatic, sometimes mellow, sometimes “why am I crying over a dog food advert again?”
Now before you scoff and say, “Right, so the moon’s been running my personality like a remote control?”, think about it. The tides are literally pulled by that glowing rock, and we’re 70% water. It’s not that far-fetched. So, let’s crack open a drink and get into what your moon phase says about you—because who doesn’t want a little cosmic roast with their beverage?
New Moon Borns—You lot are the fresh starters. The go-getters. You’ve probably downloaded six productivity apps this year and only used one for a week. You’re all about new beginnings, and fair play to you, it’s refreshing. The downside? You sometimes leap before looking. Your life’s a series of “Let’s try this!” moments that occasionally need a backup plan you forgot to make. But hey, at least you’re not stuck in a rut. You’ve probably changed your hairstyle more than your passwords.
Waxing Crescent Crew—You’ve got ideas. Big ones. You’re the kind of person who starts a side hustle every three months and actually pulls it off half the time. You’re not quite the finished product (who is?), but you’re growing, experimenting, learning. You’ve got that “I’m not there yet but I’ve got a vision board” energy. People look at you and think, “They’ll go far if they don’t get distracted by making artisanal soap again.” It’s charming, really.
First Quarter Moon Squad—You’re the doers. The “I’ve got this” brigade. When something’s broken, you don’t complain—you fix it. Or at least you try before Googling a handyman. You’re confident, maybe even a bit stubborn, but that’s only because you hate wasting time. You’ve got main character energy but without the ego. The only issue? You push yourself hard. Like, “I can’t relax until I’ve reorganised my spice rack” hard. Take a nap, you’ve earned it.
Waxing Gibbous Types—You’re the perfectionists with a soft side. You’ve probably rewritten that one email to your boss six times because “it just didn’t sound right.” You’ve got high standards, not just for yourself but for others too. You believe in potential—yours and everyone else’s. The tricky bit? You can spiral into “not good enough” land faster than someone getting ghosted on Tinder. But when you’re on form, you’re unstoppable. You’ve got the polish and the passion, and that’s a winning combo.
Full Moon Borns—Ah, the drama queens. But in a good way. You’re expressive, emotional, and honestly a bit magical. Life with you is never dull. If something’s happening, you’re either in the middle of it or narrating it like a Netflix documentary. You feel things deeply and love loudly. You’re also the most likely to write long WhatsApp voice notes that somehow turn into existential rants. But your heart’s massive, and that’s what makes you so captivating—even if your group chats are always on mute.
Waning Gibbous Gang—You’re the wise ones. The reflectors. You’ve probably got a Pinterest board for quotes and a knack for giving decent advice after two drinks. You’re all about finding meaning and helping others, sometimes to your own detriment. People offload on you a lot—not because you invite it, but because you actually listen. You’re like a walking podcast on self-improvement. Just remember to take care of yourself while you’re saving everyone else.
Last Quarter Moon Legends—You’ve got that “clean break” energy. Not in a cold way—just in a “what’s done is done” kind of vibe. You’re decisive, you cut through the nonsense, and you’re weirdly good at moving on from things that no longer serve you. Breakup? Sorted. Job change? Already applied. You’re practical, focused, and often underestimated because you don’t shout your achievements from the rooftops. But you’re the one everyone calls when they need help packing emotional boxes.
Waning Crescent Weirdos (and proud)—You’re the dreamers. The floaty ones. You probably keep a dream journal and have intense chats about “the universe” at 2 a.m. You’re introspective, creative, and sometimes a bit spaced out—but not in a flaky way. You’re just tuned into something most people aren’t. You feel a bit like an old soul in a TikTok world. Meditation’s your jam, chaos is not. You’re the kind of person people say “has a vibe,” and they’re not wrong.
Here’s the thing though—none of this is set in stone. It’s just a way to get to know yourself better, have a laugh, and maybe clock why you always feel like starting over when others are still finishing their coffee. It’s a bit of fun, like personality bingo with moonlight. The point isn’t to box yourself in—it’s to see what kind of emotional disco ball you’re spinning.
I checked mine once and realised I was born under a Full Moon. Suddenly all those late-night existential crises and over-explaining voice notes made perfect sense. It’s not that I’m intense; I’m just cosmically inclined, alright?
So next time someone’s getting on your nerves, or you can’t understand why you feel like cleaning your entire house on a Sunday at 9 p.m., check their moon phase. They might just be a Last Quarter with a spice rack mission. And you? You’re a walking lunar legend.
