Moonz Uses Astrology to Help You Find Your Ideal Partner

The Short Version: Built around astrology, Moonz is a dating app that connects you with people who value relationships guided by their astrological charts. This French app’s distinctive algorithm draws on data to help you pinpoint your ideal astrological match. You can download it free on iOS and Android.

Do zodiac signs matter when you’re looking for your ideal partner? The Moonz app can help you answer that question. Where your planets fall may say something about your personality and your overall patterns of behavior, and that knowledge can come in handy when you’re looking for a potential love interest.

Fethy Abbas-Terki, co-founder and CEO of Moonz, built the app with filters centered on star signs after noticing that other dating apps didn’t offer that option when creating your profile. Moonz is all about astrology, though Fethy describes it as “not the astrology that our parents know.”

While doing a market study ahead of the launch, Fethy saw that astrology wasn’t a main factor in building a profile on the dating apps already out there. He said he wanted to make it a central feature, so that even users who weren’t especially into astrology would have it as a way to gauge compatibility.

Founded in 2021, the app takes a more modern approach. Its matchmaking value comes from showing how astrology can connect to personal growth.

“The goal is for example, I meet you on Moonz, and I will read how my personality will interact with your personality,” Fethy told us. “It may be more educational than direct as well.” The app isn’t only for astrology obsessives; it’s also for people who enjoy talking about astrology and wonder whether it helps romantic relationships succeed.

“I really think I have found the love of my life,” said one user. “Serious meeting !! If you want to find the love of your life, go for it!!”

“Moonz is the reference app for finding the real thing,” said another. “We feel healthy values, only good vibes, and an innovative concept! Delighted with the experience.”

Learn Your Astral Profile and Read Horoscopes Made for You

Whether you’re an astrology fanatic or just curious about how star-sign connections work, Moonz is a handy app. Setting up a dating profile there lets you meet new people, learn more about your birth chart, and better understand the rest of the star signs, including why each may or may not align with you.

“We don’t go really deeply in astrology, but it’s something that we want to include in the charts and everything…it’s the goal…to be global but to be able to include everyone,” Fethy explained.

Each day, Moonz delivers a horoscope to its users.

Moonz draws on astrology to offer users advice, along with a personalized horoscope every day. Once you set up your account and fill in your profile with the place, date, and time of your birth, you’ll find out which signs suit you best. Moonz is also rolling out astral tags that let users know whether someone has a crush on them.

To deliver the most accurate matches, the app looks at your sun, moon, and rising signs, along with more personalized details about who you are, which both you and other users can explore. The tags make discovery more precise, and an update to the algorithm is coming soon to improve efficiency.

 “We use a classical algorithm…we are improving the algorithm every day…we have data scientists working on it, and we are including a bit of astrology, but the biggest part of astrology is the compatibility,” Fethy told us.

Besides astral tags, the app highlights a range of tags that connect users over shared interests such as travel, fashion, and music.

Use Interactive Mood Boards to Make a Strong First Impression

On Moonz, users can discover much more about a match’s personality and feel a stronger connection through the photo mosaics on every profile, which are known as mood boards. Above all, the app wants to build authentic connections through the zodiac. Mixing live pictures with still images on profiles adds an interactive element that can contribute to a good match where looks are concerned.

When you’re online dating, that instant connection you might feel in person often isn’t there. This gallery is meant to give users a more genuine first impression, in a way that feels natural.

Moonz encourages in-depth profiles.

“When you find someone on a dating app, you don’t know anything about the person, just the cover picture. Sometimes, you have a bio; it’s three lines,” Fethy explained. “If you read the portrait of the person and astrology, you can feel a bit of the character of the person. And once we added on the mosaic…it’s five pictures, and you see the live pictures and a new one because, on dating apps, it’s really based on the physical appearance…with one picture.” 

Picking the right photo isn’t always easy. Users sometimes skip their most flattering shot or upload a picture just to speed up setting up their profile. Even so, profile photos matter a lot, since a potential match gets an early read on your personality from them before ever reaching your bio.

Nervous? Moonz Takes the Awkwardness Out of Interactions

If you have trouble finding the right words to open a conversation, you’ll love the app’s built-in quotes. They help you come across as friendlier and more approachable, which helps you get noticed and start chatting with more people online.

If inspiration runs dry when you’re writing your bio, you can still show off your personality in a simple, quirky, one-of-a-kind way. Whatever you’re into, the app’s curated prompts make it easy to find what fits you.

Moonz, unlike traditional dating apps, has equal numbers of men and women (a 50% to 50% ratio). Fethy said the app was designed with women’s safety in mind. Dating apps often have more users who identify as men looking for a partner than users who identify as women, a dynamic that can leave women feeling uncomfortable.

Moonz offers daters a fresh take on astrology.

“There’s one thing that is the ratio between men and women. We have the same number of men and women, it’s really rare,” Fethy said. “If anyone feels harassed by their match, they can report it, and the information is then publicly posted on the French government’s website.”

“You can do your pre-complaint, and it goes directly on the website of the government in France. And it’s an innovation that exists only in Moonz,” Fethy continued.

Such a strict policy gives people who are wary of online dating confidence that any unwanted advances they report will get serious attention.

If you’ve been searching for a new dating app that feels safe and takes a distinctive, zodiac-based approach to dating, Moonz could be a perfect choice.

It may be an unconventional path to matchmaking, but it’s an innovative, engaging platform for anyone curious about whether astrology can influence their romantic connections, whether they’re die-hard astro fans or celestial cynics who want to shake things up.
