What Is A Starseed? {Different Starseed Types & Traits}



There are numerous Starseeds on this planet and they are here to illumine all of the dark corners of this earth.” ― Michael Bassey Johnson, The Book of Maxims, Poems and Anecdotes


What is a starseed? In this article, we explain what and who they are, where they come from, and why they are here. We also shed light on the different types of starseeds and their extraordinary abilities. If you are reading this, it could be that you either know a starseed or are one yourself.



What is a starseed child

The term “starseed” first came about in the 1970’s, a time when the people of earth were waking up to a change in the vibration on planet earth. It was at this time that the New Age Movement was formed. This marked the beginning of a massive vibrational shift in earth’s consciousness. It was also at this time that earth began to see an influx of new souls incarnating in human form for the human experience, these souls have extraordinary spiritual and psychological traits. It is believed that starseed children are souls from extraterrestrial origins who have incarnated into human form on earth through birth for the great awakening and to assist mankind in their ascension. Strangely enough, many starseed children are born with a kind of amnesia in relation to their soul’s origin, most go through life not knowing that they are in fact starseeds. It is generally through a spiritual awakening or activation of the third eye that they are finally able to remember their origin, past life and souls destiny, or mission here on earth.



What are starseeds here on Earth for?


Starseeds are souls of extraterrestrial origin that have come to earth to assist in the planets’ ascension into the golden age. Their life purpose is to spread their light, love, knowledge, and kindness to all the inhabitants of Gaia (earth). The earth has been dominated by lower vibrational beings for selfish gain for centuries, that is why there is so much pain, greed, and hurt on earth at the moment. Most of the human beings on earth have no idea that they are being controlled by these lower vibrational forces. The mission of a starseed is to raise the vibrations of the earth and all its beings to that of a higher vibration so that we can ascend into the new, golden age of love, peace abundance, and prosperity.


Many of them will have come from different dimensions, and parts of the galaxy, making each of their missions on earth slightly different from the next while executing the same main goal. Some will come from the Pleiadian, and Sirian star systems, others will come from the Andromedan, Orion, Arcturian, and Lyran systems. Each of these systems is invested in helping Earth ascend. Some seeds will come as healers, creative innovation beings, and others as catalysts, (they are the guides who will help people make the jump from 3D to 5D in the near future.) Either way, the ultimate goal of each starseed is to raise the vibration of the planet so that earth may return to its position as a 7th-dimensional galactic planet.


Most of the starseeds come with a sort of ‘know-how’ but because they are entering into energetically dense earth they are subjected to a kind of amnesia and require an event to unlock the DNA coded memories and knowledge of their specific extraterrestrial race, origin, and mission. DNA activation benefits are fairly impressive and certainly worth a study.



What are the different types of starseeds & their origin?


Starseeds have been incarnating on earth for the past 50-60 years, this started when the great shift began in the 60’s and 70’s. Since then the number of starseed souls coming to earth has increased, and this is because the ascension process as sped up. Starseeds come from different star systems within our galaxy and within the multiverse. They have been divided into 3 groups based on their arrival time throughout earths ascension process. The first being; Indigos, the second, Crystals and the third, Rainbows. There are particular personality, behavioral and physical traits and features that manifest in starseeds depending on what star system they originated from. As of today, astrologists know of 6 – 12 star systems from where star seeds have come from, the most common one being the Pleiadian system. The pleiadian starseeds were the first to be identified and documented.


The 6 well-known systems and their traits are;

  1. Pleiades constellation – A cluster is known as the seven sisters and is apart of the Taurus constellation. This cluster is viewable in the night sky. Pleiadian seeds are known to be highly intuitive and empathic. Most of them come to earth as lightworkers and are extremely spiritual beings.

  2. Sirius star – Consists of a binary star system, Sirius A and Sirius B and is located in the Canis Major constellation. Sirians are known to be shy, yet creative and have difficulty trusting others.

  3. Arcturus star – The brightest star in the Bootes constellation. Arcturians are clairvoyant, are great planners, builders, organizers and have a very good memory.

  4. Lyran constellation – Lyrans call the Vegas star home, which is located inside the Lyra constellation. They are star people who are independently minded and value justice.

  5. Orion constellation – The most well-known constellation and is home to the Orions who are said to be logical, and good at self- discipline.

  6. Andromeda galaxy – Our milky way’s neighboring galaxy, located 2.5 million light-years away. Andromedans value freedom, individuality and are intune with their higher self.

There is no one specific origin for each group of seeds, they have come from all over and their starseed title is dependent on the time in which they incarnated in earth.

“I don’t belong on earth, my soul is from the stars. I’m visiting this planet for a while so i can help people listen to their hearts.” ― Nikki rowe



Indigo Children


What are indigo children?


Indigo starseeds have an aura that is indigo in color. They incarnated on Earth between the 50’s and 80’s. The color of their aura directly corresponds with the 6th chakra or third eye chakra which is indigo in color. This chakra and color is related to truth, vision, clarity and spiritual perseverance. This is the gift these souls have brought to earth for humanity. They entered earth at a very crucial point in time and space, earth and humanity were experiencing a massive shift in consciousness. The indigo souls incarnated to initiate change and to disrupt a very corrupt and toxic political, racial and economical system. They shed light on the toxicity of the systems that governed humanity, bringing about a global awakening, and setting the wheels in motion for earths great ascension. Indigo seeds are the matrix breakers.



Crystal Children


What are crystal children?


It is said that crystal children are the ‘continuation’ of the indigo starseed line. They began incarnating from the 1980’s up until the early 2000’s. They are generally children of indigos and have an aura that is crystal clear. They are known to exude an ‘old soul’ persona, their soul, imbued with the knowledge of their past lives among the stars. They were born as idealists, wanting to create a perfect world for one and all. Crystal seeds live by the Law of One and believe in global and universal oneness. They are here to lay the foundations of love, compassion, empathy, and kindness for the new generation of starseeds to build upon. They are here to teach humanity the gift of unconditional love and kindness.



Rainbow Children


What are rainbow children?


Rainbow children are the latest wave of starseeds that have begun to incarnate on earth, starting after the 2000’s. They are primarily the offspring of the second wave of starseeds, the crystal children. Less is known about them due to the fact that they are so new. What we do know is that they come from the ninth dimension of consciousness. These little souls, no older than 20 years old are born free from negative karma, are highly evolved, and spiritually advanced in ways we are yet to completely understand and fathom. These souls are born with complete trust in their intuition which enables them to move through life effortlessly. They have strong psychic powers, are highly creative, and possess a strong connection to color, which is quite fitting as they have a rainbow aura. The most special thing about rainbow children is that they effortlessly move through life by giving and receiving joy, rather than acting on impulse and desire, even from a very young age.


Starseed children’s characteristics, symbols, markings, blood types & missions


Starseeds have specific characteristics that make them special, this sets them apart from earth seeds. Another interesting and extraordinary trait of starseeds is their blood. Many starseeds are said to have Rh Negative or positive blood – blood from the stars. Rh-negative blood is said to be ‘karma’ free. Meaning, the ancestral karma from previous human incarnations has not been recorded in the DNA structure of the blood unlike other blood types. This allows them to function and vibrate at a much higher frequency, unaffected by the density of earth’s current 3rd-dimensional state. This also allows them to tap into their sensory abilities of telepathy, empathy, clairaudience, and clairvoyance, allowing them to access the akashic records and make contact with ET’s.



Starseed traits & characteristics


Starseed traits and characteristics are unlike those of earth seed souls. Starseeds essentially come from different places and times throughout the multiverse. Their traits and characteristics may vary depending on where in the multiverse they originate from. However, all starseeds carry a similar higher vibrational.



Indigo starseed traits, characteristics & birthmarks


Indigo seeds are known as warriors and are guided and protected by Archangel Michael.

Starseed symbols


Starseed symbols are geometric shapes that hold symbolic meaning. It is very similar to the way we use symbols here on earth. These symbols are also sometimes called sigils, or light codes and light language. There are many, and each one is different. Each star race has its own set of codes or symbols, each unique to its origin. The most common or known set of symbols is the angelic codes. These symbols are said to hold energetic resonance and when meditated on can help you attune to its star origin. The symbols also assist in activating and remembering DNA coded memories.

Starseed markings


Starseed markings are not what you think it is, it is not a physical mark on your skin, it is the positioning of celestial bodies (planets and stars) at the time of your birth. By analyzing your planetary placements you are able to tell if you have extraterrestrial origins. This is done by determining the position of the sun, moon, and other visible planets and whether or not they correspond with a specific star system at the time of your birth. By determining the areas they were in, it’s possible to discover your soul’s cosmic origin.



Origin starseed markings


Origin marking indicates which star system you originate from.



Incarnation starseed markings


Incarnation marking, this mark tells you about your past lives. If you consider yourself an old soul that you have most likely had multiple past lives. Incarnation marks are like pins on a map, showing you all the places you’ve been and lived in the past. Incarnation markings can help you trace your movements through the stars and various star systems that you may have existed before coming to earth as a starseed.



Indigo starseed markings


Starseed markings can be determined by analyzing the placements of celestial bodies in your natal chart. It’s important to note the placement of the sun and moon at the exact time of your birth. Starseed origins are determined by noting the correspondence of the planets to different star systems. In doing this, you are able to trace your cosmic origin.



Crystal starseed markings


There are no exact recordings of crystal starseed markings because these markings may vary depending on the individual and their planetary placements at the time of their incarnation.



Rainbow starseed markings


Rainbow starseed markings can be determined by analyzing the positions of the planets within your birth chart. This method uses the unique placements of these planetary bodies to discover the origins of your soul and home star system.


Starseed missions


The missions of starseeds can vary depending on what star system they originated from, however, each starseed shares a common objective and that is to assist earth and all its beings in the great ascension process.



Indigo starseed mission


Indigo seeds came first, they came at a crucial point in history, a time where earth and its beings were experiencing a shift in consciousness. Indigos came to initiate change, to disrupt the old and corrupt system. Their main goal was and still is, to shed light on how unfair, outdated, and rotten earth’s political and economical systems are. To shed light on racism and classism and help those trapped in these old lower vibrational paradigms break free.
