Have you ever felt as if you just don’t belong? Have you looked up in the night sky and felt a sense of deep connectivity?

Your attraction to the radiance of the stars and the universe may be more than just a preference. You may be a starseed.

What is a starseed?

A starseed is a term used to describe a child of the stars — a person who, like an old soul, has lived prior lives on Earth and possibly different planets and galaxies.

They incarnate on Earth to share their knowledge and light, and to participate in its evolution.

Starseeds feel a divine wisdom deep within due to their soul’s connection to the universe. They possess psychic abilities that can lay dormant until they need to access them.

Starseeds, also known as “star people” or “indigo children,” came from Native American spirituality. The concept spread to the mainstream after its introduction in the 1976 book "Gods of Aquarius" by Brad Steiger.

The book hypothesizes that some people came to Earth in the form of extraterrestrials through birth or as a walk-in to an existing human body.

Starseeds' purpose on Earth is to bring about positive change. Their powers are activated through a spiritual awakening in order to fix problems that exist in this world.

They are the spiritual extreme of old souls. They are empathetic, authentic and intuitive. But a starseed awakening doesn’t just happen. It is a decision to take the path few have traveled.

Types of Starseeds

All starseeds are not the same. There are several different types of starseeds, carrying different traits and characteristics.

Pleiadian Starseeds

These extraterrestrials come from a star cluster called the Seven Sisters. They are known to be very smart, have advanced healing powers, and are empathetic and nurturing.

Pleiadians are characterized as having Nordic appearance, light skin, eyes and hair. They are usually female, are water signs, and are drawn to water animals. About 75 million occupy the Earth.

Sirian Starseeds

The Sirius Dog Star, AKA Alpha Canis, is the focal point of several legends and myths, and is believed to be the most important star in human evolution.

Starseeds originating from Sirius are peacekeepers and guardians of the world. Sirians are open-minded, calm and loyal. They are intense daydreamers who believe anything is possible.

Arcturian Starseeds

These people are part of the most advanced civilization in the universe. They come from Arcturus within the Bootes constellation, and are light years ahead of Earth’s evolution.

Arcturians are born leaders who possess strong personalities. They are charismatic, telepathic logical thinkers who are passionate about the work they do.

Andromedan Starseeds

Andromedans are just 2.5 million light years away from Earth in a spiral-shaped galaxy called Andromeda, often referred to as M31.

These starseeds are loving, gentle and telepathic. They have a pure child-like energy, are introverted and empathetic, but tend to guard their emotions due to prior traumas.

Orion Starseeds

Orion starseeds are the most well-documented in the universe. They hail from the Orion constellation. Mintaka is a planet that existed within the Orion belt but disappeared.

Orions are secretive knowledge seekers who are more in tune with logic than emotion. They are "Jacks of all trades" and most likely to be entrepreneurs.

They are lightworkers here to teach us the value of our own potential. Because they no longer have a home, they are more homesick than other starseeds.

Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow Children

These are the newest type of starseeds. These beings were born into the physical realm, and are fully aware of the gifts they possess and the mission they are on.

Indigo, Rainbow and Crystal children are here to help rid the Earth of negativity like fear, greed and manipulation. They strive to replace those things with love, peace, integrity and abundance.

Lyran Starseeds

These are the oldest souls in the galaxy, and are considered an ancient civilization like the Egyptians and Romans are here on Earth. They are descendants of Vega, the brightest planet in the Lyra constellation.

Lyrans are naturally authoritative, wise and serious. They are grounded and passionate and love to have a good time. They are usually fire signs like Leo, Aries or Sagittarius.

Other Starseed Types

Lightworkers came to spread love and light. They have no malice in them and live for a higher purpose. These people are highly creative and intuitive but experienced trauma early in life.

Blue Ray Beings are mystical and mysterious. Their souls are super sensitive and they have a caring nature. Blue Rays set the stage for the rest of the starseeds to come to Earth and work together.

Venusian Starseeds are from Venus, believed to live in the fourth dimension. Their sole purpose is to teach us how to love.

Some lesser known starseeds are Polarian, Procyon, Avian, and Martian. Maldeks died out, but their planet had an endless supply of water.

Lemurians and Atlanteans are thought to be the very first starseeds that originated on planet Earth. Lemuria, or the Island of Mu, sank into the Indian Ocean long ago.

Atlantis was thought to be a civilization of legends. Both were populated by highly sophisticated beings who made technological and philosophical advances.

Reptilians, otherwise known as the Lizard People, Saurians or Draconians, are shape-shifters who want to take over the Earth for their own gain. Their enemies live in the light and make it their mission to combat the Reptilian darkness.
