Moonstone has a reputation for being the ultimate crystal for dreamers, empaths, and spiritually open souls. It’s often praised for enhancing intuition, soothing emotions, and even helping with fertility and new beginnings. But not everyone has a blissful moonstone experience.

In fact, some people end up feeling worse after using it. If you’ve ever worn a moonstone necklace or slept with one under your pillow, only to wake up feeling off, you’re not imagining things. Crystals aren’t one-size-fits-all, and moonstone, despite its gentle appearance, can pack an unexpected punch.

So, before you dive deeper into your moonstone love affair, let’s talk about the real, sometimes weird, side effects—because nobody warns you about the emotional chaos, bizarre dreams, or sudden energy crashes.

Emotional Overload (Tears, Tantrums, And Everything In Between)

Moonstone is deeply connected to the moon’s energy, which means it amplifies emotions—fast. If you’re already a sensitive person, this crystal might turn you into an emotional sponge.

  • Unexpected mood swings? Check.
  • Crying over minor things? Absolutely.
  • Sudden nostalgia or unresolved feelings bubbling up? Yep, that’s moonstone at work.

Some people love this deep emotional release, but others find it overwhelming. If you’re not in the right headspace, moonstone can make you feel like you’re on an emotional rollercoaster with no brakes.

How to fix it:

  • Pair moonstone with a stabilizing stone (like hematite or garnet).
  • Use it in short bursts instead of wearing it all day.
  • Avoid it during already stressful times (like PMS or major life changes).

Vivid (And Weird) Dreams

Since moonstone is linked to the subconscious mind, it’s notorious for stirring up wild, ultra-detailed dreams. Some people report:

  • Prophetic or symbolic dreams (cool, but confusing).
  • Vivid replays of past memories (even ones you’d rather forget).
  • Strange, surreal scenarios (think: flying whales or talking shadows).

If you’re someone who already has intense dreams, moonstone might crank them up to 11. Some love the psychic boost, but others wake up exhausted from all the mental activity.

How to fix it:

  • Keep a dream journal to process the weirdness.
  • Try selenite or amethyst nearby to soften the intensity.
  • Don’t sleep with moonstone under your pillow if dreams get too intense.

Energy Drain (Instead of Balance)

Here’s the irony—moonstone is supposed to restore emotional balance, but some people feel drained, sluggish, or even spacey after using it.

Why? It might be:

  • Clearing emotional blockages (which takes energy).
  • Overstimulating your intuition, leaving you mentally exhausted.
  • Absorbing too much negative energy without proper cleansing.

If you suddenly feel like you’ve been hit by a truck of fatigue, your moonstone might be working too hard.

How to fix it:

  • Cleanse your moonstone often (salt water, moonlight, or sound baths).
  • Use grounding stones (black tourmaline, smoky quartz) to balance the energy.
  • Limit use to a few hours a day if fatigue kicks in.

Increased Sensitivity To Energy (Including Bad Vibes)

One of moonstone’s most intense side effects is heightening your sensitivity to surrounding energies—including the unpleasant ones. Negative people may suddenly feel more draining, crowded spaces can become overwhelming, and you might detect subtle tensions you previously overlooked. For empaths, myself included, this amplified awareness can be exhausting, leaving you unintentionally absorbing stress from others like an emotional sponge.

How to fix it:

  • Pair moonstone with shungite or obsidian for protection.
  • Practice energy shielding (visualizing a protective bubble).
  • Take breaks from wearing it in high-energy environments.

Physical Dizziness or Lightheadedness

Yes, moonstone can even cause physical reactions in some people, especially when first using it. Common complaints include:

  • Lightheadedness or dizziness
  • Mild nausea
  • Headaches (especially around the third eye)

This usually happens when your body isn’t used to the crystal’s energy or if the stone needs cleansing.

How to fix it:

  • Drink more water (crystals can dehydrate you energetically).
  • Start with short exposure (10-15 mins) and gradually increase.
  • Try a different placement (like holding it instead of wearing it).

Should You Keep Using Moonstone?

Moonstone isn’t dangerous, but it’s powerful—and like any tool, it works best when used wisely. If you’re experiencing side effects, try:

✔ Cleansing it regularly (moonlight, salt, or sage).
✔ Pairing it with grounding/protective stones.
✔ Listening to your body (if it feels like too much, take a break).

I started this blog in 2013, right as I was diving into astrology and taking my first solo trips. True to my Gemini stellium and “do ten things at once” nature, I wrote about everything. Over time, it grew into a library of 4,000+ articles—expanded with the help of close friends who are now our editorial team. I’m obsessed with cats, good coffee and wine, and graphic design (currently loving brutalism). And when I say I love travel, I mean it: in under 13 years, I’ve visited 40+ countries on my own, some more than ten times. I’m also into feng shui, astrology, the paranormal, law, metal detecting, and about a thousand other rabbit holes. If you’re into travel, come say hi on Instagram: @swenisa.
