However, noted astrologers don’t endorse the concept behind the latest trend. In an article Anna Iovine, mashable.com have quoted astrologer and author Lisa Stardust who said “This isn’t really valid. It has more to do with the zodiac sign of the moon and the whole chart together. It’s not [as] simple as just the lunar phase.”
