What’s a star seed?
A star seed (also known as a star traveller) is a soul whose first several incarnations were spent in foreign star systems, planets, galaxies or parallel dimensions. Around 75% of the souls present here are Earth souls (Earth souls are souls who have only ever experienced incarnations here on earth). And the remaining 25% are star travellers, or star seeds. These star seeds do not all belong to one group – they belong to over 20 different soul groups of origin.
I am writing an article about this topic because almost all of the people I’ve read for (and worked with) over the years have been star travellers, so if you’re reading this, there’s a likelihood you are, too.
Although each group has a collective past which influences what their soul gifts, lessons and purpose is here, I’ve also noticed some common characteristics in that time that all star seeds share, and so in this article I’m going to share them with you.
Here are some signs that you are a star seed/star traveller:
- You suspect this planet is not your home (and you sometimes feel a longing to ‘go home’)
This one is self-explanatory. Star seeds suspect this planet is not their home because they sense they are not native to Earth. They also often find this place rather harsh and long for somewhere that is more like where they came from (some places of incarnation are utopian worlds.)
- You have never really fit in here (in this world)
Earth souls (aka the souls who are native to this planet) feel they fit in here. It is their home world, they know how it works and they have never experienced anywhere else. Star travellers, on the other hand, do not fit in so well. They tend to be less “mainstream” in their interests or inclinations, because they are a little bit different from the majority (i.e. earth souls) in many different ways. This is because on the soul level, they have knowledge of other worlds.
- You are very interested in metaphysics
Star travellers tend to be much more interested in spirituality than Earth souls do. That may be because they originally come from other worlds which were of a much higher dimension and vibration than this place, and so tapping into spiritual, high-vibrational energies feels like a natural thing for them to do.
- You find this planet very “unevolved”
Many star travellers come from places where the technology and levels of consciousness were more advanced than here on earth, and so they hold within their soul’s memory that sense of another place where things were different and more evolved, both spiritually and technologically
- You have high empathy and sensitivity
You consider yourself an empath, or you are someone who perceives the spirit world. Star travellers tend to have more active upper chakras than Earth souls do, and as a result, they are more in touch with the spirit world and more likely to absorb other peoples’ energies.
- You identify as an indigo, crystal or rainbow child or earth angel
There is actually a star traveller group we consider to be the ‘indigos’, however not everyone who belongs to this group will necessarily identify with the ‘indigo’ term. But almost everyone who resonates with that term is a star traveller of some description, even if they do not belong to the group we associate with the indigos.
- You feel that you are a lightworker
Some star traveller groups are here to help others on their spiritual path, and so they tend to identify as light workers.
- You feel compelled to find out your soul’s purpose and to follow it
Star travellers are also born with this sense that they are here to contribute or help others in some way. They aren’t always sure of what this purpose is exactly, but if so, they are determined to find out!
- You are drawn to the stars, whether that is through the study of astronomy or astrology
Star travellers tend to believe in life on other planets and they are drawn to the night sky.
- You’ve found your way to this website
I’ve never read for, or worked with an earth soul. (Edit July 2024: I read for my first Earth soul recently.) So, if you’re here in the first place, there’s a greater chance you’re a star traveller.
- You have trouble with grounding yourself
As mentioned, star travellers typically have upper chakras that are more active than their lower chakras. (For this reason, they are often very interested in spiritual connection & metaphysics.) There are a few star traveller groups that have upper chakras that are a great deal more active than their lower chakras. And so, a side effect of this, is that a few star traveller groups struggle with grounding. By contrast, earth souls have no problems with grounding.
- Words seem like a clunky and inefficient way to communicate
Many star travellers come from worlds where souls did not make sounds or write words in order to communicate. Therefore they have memories that exist deep in their consciousness of more effortless and efficient ways to communicate.
- You have a vivid dream life
Perhaps you practise lucid dreaming or you have had astral projection experiences. In my experience, star travellers are more likely to be interested in astral projection and more likely to do this. Star travellers also travel to other worlds in their sleep.
- You are going through a spiritual awakening (or have been through one in the past)
(10 Signs You’re Going Through A Spiritual Awakening). Earth souls do not often have awakening experiences. Star travellers often do.
- You have psychic gifts which are in strong evidence
(Take this quiz at the top of my home page, to find out!) Some star traveller groups are more obviously psychic than others.
Why are star seeds here?
In general, star seeds are here to contribute their soul gifts and learn their soul lessons. And in doing so, they help this planet to evolve and raise its vibration. But beyond that, each group has its own mission or purpose for being here, and so it can help to know exactly which group you belong to.
How to find out your starseed origins
You can find out more about the various star seed groups and get some insights into which one you might belong to by reading my book The 22 Starseed Groups.
If you’re interested to find out which star seed group is yours, you might want to get a mini reading or a full Akashic reading with me.
You can also find out your starseed origins by reading your own Akashic soul record. I have a course which teaches you to do this – it can be found here
Hi Anna
Firstly, thank you for the work that you do, as it’s a great age of being able to speak about what individuals have sensed but not spoken about.
I have since a child been able to read people and I am very sensitive to all forms of energies whether from the earth, sky or from humans and animals. Most of the time it’s of a low level but y sometimes I will sense an energy of great mass coming and my stomach will turn for days sometimes before what ever it is arrives. Most of what I sense is just logical, as there is usually a dance I call it to every happening.
I also dream every night vividly and a lot of what’s happening now I dreamt in my 20s. I have been shown future technologies also, which are almost in line with my dreams. However, I have not yet found my purpose and wonder why I am actually here, especially when I’ve been longing to “go home” for a few years. Let’s hope I find reason for being given such insights.
I do and have done since being a child resonate with Andromeda and funnily enough that was my childhood nickname. That could be a reason I identify with it.. but will see.
There is so much to be learnt about energy especially in what I think is a dense world but that’s just because I haven’t become fully aware of how it all works. Always a journey of learning and thank you for what you are sharing.
Blessings to you..
Hi Andrea, thanks for sharing, glad to hear you resonate with this article!
hi Anna! I haven’t been to your site in a while – it looks amazing! You look so radiant in your pictures. The branding is so you! I could go on and on lol
Thank you for all the work that you do, and for sharing your light with the world. Will you be covering the Blueprint Groups in more detail at some point?
Where do Earth Angels fit in?
Hi Michelle – thanks for the kind feedback about the site! 🙂 I’ll be covering the Blueprinter groups in more detail, in my book that comes out soon.
Hi Lori – ‘Earth angels’ is not a term that has resonated with me so much, but at the same time I can see how it might apply to one of the soul groups in particular, which has its origins in the angelic realm. Most of the people labelled ‘earth angels’ do not actually belong to this soul group, however. I think the ‘earth angel’ term is mostly used as a catch all designation for light workers. Hope that’s not too confusing.
