headache during full moon

Every full moon doesn’t just light the sky, it stirs something inside us. For some, that shows up as pounding temples, migraines, or a strange pressure that feels impossible to shake. You’re not imagining it. The same force that moves the oceans tugs at the water in your body, too.

And because your brain is mostly water, the ripple can land there first. A headache under the full moon can be purely physical, but often, it’s also a signal that something deeper is shifting.

The Spiritual Side of Full Moon Headaches

The full moon works like a spotlight, pulling hidden things out of the shadows. What you’ve been ignoring or pushing aside tends to surface. For some, that shows up as restless sleep and vivid dreams. For others, it’s irritability, sudden waves of emotion, or a pounding headache.

On a spiritual level, a full moon headache can point to heightened sensitivity. You’re picking up on energy that most people simply pass by. That pressure in your head may not be just biological… it can be your body trying to process the sheer intensity of lunar energy. It doesn’t always mean you’re in the middle of a grand awakening. The moon cycles every month, but some people are just more finely tuned to its pull.

What Your Headache Might Be Saying

  • You’re off balance. When you’re not grounded, the full moon doesn’t just pass overhead… it magnifies the wobble. That tension builds up in your body, and for many, it lands in the head.
  • You’re highly sensitive. Empaths and intuitives often feel the moon’s pull like static in their system. The energy is so strong that it doesn’t move through cleanly, creating pressure or headaches until it’s released.
  • Your intuition is in overdrive. During a full moon, insights and “downloads” can flood in. For some, this feels like clarity; for others, it’s psychic noise that makes the head feel overloaded, like someone turned the volume way up.
  • You need to release. Full moons mark endings. If you’re holding on, whether to old emotions, habits, or even relationships, that resistance can show up physically as pain. The ache is your body’s way of urging you to let go.

Astrology’s Role in Full Moon Sensitivity

Your natal chart flavors how you feel the moon.

  • Water placements (Cancer, Pisces, Scorpio): These signs heighten emotional and physical sensitivity, so the lunar pull can feel especially intense.
  • Aries or Scorpio influence: These fiery, head-ruled signs can make you more prone to tension, migraines, or sudden energy surges.
  • The house being lit up: Wherever the full moon lands shows where pressure builds and release is needed. For example, if it falls in your 1st or 6th house, it can directly affect the head and body.

Full Moon Headache Remedies

Instead of only numbing the ache, try syncing with the moon’s rhythm:

  • Hydrate. Headaches love dehydration, extra water helps.
  • Ground. Walk barefoot, touch soil, or meditate to anchor your energy.
  • Rituals of release. Write what you’re ready to let go of and burn it (safely) under the moonlight.
  • Aromatics. Peppermint and lavender oil can ease the pressure.
  • Moon bathing. Yes, literally sit outside and let the moonlight wash over you. It can calm the nervous system more than you’d think.

Beyond the Pain

That throb in your head might not be meaningless. It could be the moon asking you to pause, feel, and pay attention. Full moon headaches often appear when you’re more tuned in than usual: to your emotions, your body, and the larger cycles unfolding around you.

The full moon always signals completion. Something inside you is closing, and space is opening for what’s next. The discomfort isn’t punishment…it’s a signal. Growth rarely feels graceful, and sometimes it shows up as pressure behind your eyes, reminding you that change is already underway.

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.
