Have you ever felt like Earth isn’t really your home? Like you’re remembering a place you’ve never been, or you’re here for a mission you can’t quite name? These feelings often signal the beginning of a spiritual awakening—a transformation many starseeds experience as they remember who they truly are.If so, you might be a starseed—and you’re far from alone.
Starseeds are beings incarnated in human form from other star systems, other dimensions, and other worlds. Think of them as souls who volunteered to leave their home planets to assist Earth during this critical time of transformation. Some people call this “aliens walking among us as humans,” but that phrase doesn’t capture the full truth: we’re here because we care deeply about humanity’s evolution into the New Earth.
Right now, approximately 3% of Earth’s population are starseeds. Many don’t even know it yet.
I’ve spent over a decade researching starseeds, working with Ethereal Autists who are themselves starseeds, and documenting channeled information from higher-dimensional beings. Much of what I share here comes from my work in The Unsuspected Heroes, Destination New Earth: A Blueprint to 5D Consciousness, and Gods in the Game—books written to help awakening souls understand their role in humanity’s evolution.
What Is a Starseed?
A starseed (or Star Seed) is a soul from another star system, dimension, or planet who has incarnated into a human body. You’re not a visitor in the traditional sense—you’re fully human in this lifetime, but your soul’s origin isn’t from Earth.
Starseeds come from various locations across the cosmos. The most commonly recognized include Pleiadians, Sirians, Arcturians, and Reptilians. But there are countless others, each bringing unique gifts and perspectives to support Earth’s planetary shift in consciousness.
As I explored in Destination New Earth, star seeds represent beings incarnated in human form from multiple planets, galaxies, and universes, each bringing unique perspectives to support Earth’s planetary shift in consciousness.
Here’s what makes starseeds different: while all humans have some level of alien DNA (yes, really), starseeds retain a conscious or subconscious connection to their soul’s origin. This connection often manifests as:
- A deep knowing that you’re here to serve a higher purpose
- Feeling alienated or like you don’t quite fit in with mainstream society
- Strong reactions to injustice, violence, or environmental destruction
- An urgency about fulfilling your life’s mission
- Natural abilities in healing, teaching, or guiding others
Important distinction: Not all Lightworkers are starseeds, but most starseeds are Lightworkers. A Lightworker is anyone—human or starseed—who made a soul agreement to help humanity heal and evolve.
If you’re just beginning to understand your Starseed nature, you may also be experiencing spiritual awakening signs. Our complete spiritual awakening guide helps you recognize awakening symptoms, understand transformation stages, and see how your Starseed mission connects to the New Earth shift.
How to Know If You're a Starseed: 12 Signs
Wondering if you might be a starseed? Here are the most common indicators:
- You’ve always felt different. Even as a child, you sensed you didn’t quite belong or that you were observing humanity from the outside.
- Earth feels foreign. You experience homesickness for a place you can’t name or remember.
- You’re deeply empathic. Other people’s emotions affect you intensely, sometimes overwhelmingly.
- You have a strong sense of mission. There’s an internal drive that you’re here to do something significant, even if you’re not sure what.
- You question authority and societal norms. Rules that don’t make logical or ethical sense frustrate you.
- You’re drawn to the stars. Looking at the night sky gives you feelings of longing, peace, or recognition.
- You have little tolerance for dishonesty or cruelty. Discrimination, violence, and manipulation deeply disturb you.
- Relationships are challenging. You struggle to find people who understand you or relationships that feel truly fulfilling.
- You’re naturally intuitive or psychic. You’ve had experiences with telepathy, precognition, or energy healing.
- Time feels urgent. You have a sense that there’s limited time to accomplish your purpose.
- You’re drawn to spiritual or metaphysical topics. Ancient wisdom, consciousness, energy work, and ascension fascinate you.
- You attract other star beings. Like energy attracts like energy—you naturally connect with people who share your mission.
If you resonated with many of these signs, congratulations. You’ve just taken the first step toward remembering who you really are.
The 5 Waves of Star Seeds: From Indigo to Gold
Starseeds have been incarnating on Earth in organized waves for decades, each group bringing specific gifts to support humanity’s evolution. These waves are often called the “New Children,” though many are now adults. They include Indigo Starseeds, Crystal Starseeds, Rainbow Starseeds, Diamond Starseeds, and Gold Starseeds.
Wave 1: Indigo Starseeds—The System Breakers
Born: Late 1970s–early 1990s (adults now)
Indigo star seeds came to Earth to usher in a new age of peace by first dismantling corrupt systems. If you’re an Indigo starseed, you were probably labeled a “problem child,” rebel, or troublemaker growing up. That’s because you have an innate ability to see through lies and manipulation.
Indigo starseed characteristics:
- Fierce sense of justice and integrity
- Question authority figures and outdated rules
- Highly sensitive and psychic abilities
- Prone to anxiety, ADHD, or feeling misunderstood
- Natural leaders who inspire revolutionary change
- Struggle with traditional education or career paths
These first-wave starseeds incarnated to bring about a new age of peace, and many are now adults who’ve spent decades fighting systems that no longer serve humanity. In The Unsuspected Heroes, I share the stories of these rebels and system-breakers who came to usher in the New Earth.
Indigo starseeds are the warriors of consciousness. Your mission is to incite change in society, government, and environmental practices so Earth becomes a place where truth and integrity can flourish.
If you’re an Indigo starseed: Your challenge is learning to channel your rebellious energy constructively without burning out. The world needs your fire, but you must tend it wisely.
Wave 2: Crystal Star Seeds—The Heart Teachers
Born: Mid-1990s–present
Crystal starseeds are the polar opposite of Indigos’ warrior energy. Where Indigos break down systems, Crystal star seeds build bridges through unconditional love. These souls incarnated to show humanity how to live from the heart rather than the head.
Crystal starseed characteristics:
- Exceptionally empathic and sensitive
- Often misdiagnosed as autistic or having developmental delays
- Natural telepathic communicators
- Deeply connected to nature and animals
- Struggle in chaotic, loud, or emotionally toxic environments
- Radiate peace and kindness that others immediately feel
- Full of integrity and completely authentic
Many Crystal starseeds were perceived as “slow” because they process the world differently. They’re not slow—they’re operating from a higher frequency where heart-based wisdom takes precedence over intellectual analysis.
If you’re a Crystal starseed: Your gift is teaching others what authentic love looks like. Living from the heart comes naturally to you, and this is exactly what humanity needs to learn for the shift into the New Earth.
Wave 3: Rainbow Starseeds—The Higher Dimensional Anchors
Born: Early 2000s–present
Rainbow star seeds are higher-dimensional beings, many incarnating on Earth for the very first time. They come from approximately the ninth dimension and carry the pure frequency of unconditional love.
Rainbow star being characteristics:
- Born with an innate understanding of Oneness
- Don’t comprehend concepts like hatred, greed, or separation
- First Earth incarnation for many
- Radiate pure love and joy naturally
- May struggle to ground in 3D physical reality
- Help generate unconditional love just through their presence
- Play a significant role in the New Earth as they mature
Rainbow star seeds are like cosmic ambassadors bringing frequencies that Earth has rarely experienced. As odd as this may sound, their “newness” to this planet is precisely what makes them so powerful.
If you’re a Rainbow starseed: Your mission is simply to be yourself. Your energy alone shifts the frequency around you and helps prepare Earth for even higher-dimensional experiences.
Wave 4: Diamond Starseeds—The DNA Activators
Born: Late 2000s–present
Diamond star seeds are fourth-generation Star Children, and they’re walking healers. Some are first-timers to Earth. For these children to be born, adult Star People must spiritually evolve and birth the Diamond Child with a higher Light Quotient.
Diamond star people characteristics:
- Most advanced psychic abilities (telepathy, telekinesis, manifestation)
- Instant manifestors who bend reality effortlessly
- Resonate with the highest frequency of Divine Love
- Carry DNA patterning that awakens others
- Walk as living healers—their presence triggers transformation
- Don’t understand anger, fear, or separation (these concepts feel alien)
- Require high-vibrational environments to thrive
The concepts of hatred, fear, and separation are as foreign to Diamond starseeds as Oneness is to most of humanity right now. They hold the DNA activation codes that awaken people who are ready to transcend the illusion of separation.
If you’re a Diamond star being: You’re literally rewiring humanity’s DNA through your presence. Those around you who are ready will begin their awakening process simply by being near your energy field.
Wave 5: Gold Starseeds—The Frequency Harmonizers
Born: 2012–present
Gold starseeds are the newest wave, beginning around 2012. They’re “excellent transmitters” and “powerful energy conduits” who help Earth integrate incoming higher frequencies without causing energetic whiplash.
Gold starseed characteristics:
- Powerful energy conduits and transmitters
- Can sense and manipulate energy fields
- Help harmonize new and old Earth frequencies
- Born with X-code (or Code X) in their DNA structure
- Drawn to crystals, sacred geometry, and energy healing
- Transform spaces with their presence
- Help others feel balanced and calm
Think of Gold star seeds as cosmic transformers. They embody the new, higher frequencies coming to Earth and harmonize them with the dormant energies already present in Mother Gaia. This allows for a smoother planetary transition as humanity awakens.
This information about the Gold Children comes from channeled sessions with Cerian, a sixteenth-dimensional collective, which I share in Gods in the Game: Messages on the Awakening and Consciousness Shift. Cerian explained that the Gold Children are “excellent transmitters” who embody new frequencies and harmonize them with existing energies dormant within Mother Gaia. What makes this particularly fascinating is that these children have an X-code (or Code X) in their DNA structure—a new metallic substance with gold strands entwined in the DNA. This metallic substance is reminiscent of liquid gold: soft, malleable, and possessing Consciousness itself.
If you’re a Gold star being: Your work is about bending and blending energies. You’re making it easier for both Earth and humanity to receive these new consciousness codes without resistance.
Beyond the Five Waves: Other Starseed Types
While the five waves (Indigo, Crystal, Rainbow, Diamond, and Gold) represent organized groups supporting the New Earth, there are other types of star people who’ve been here longer or come from specific star systems:
Pleiadian Star Seeds come from the Pleiades star cluster and often work with healing, love, and ancient wisdom.
Sirian Star Seeds originate from the Sirius star system and tend to be master builders and organizers.
Arcturian Star Seeds are from the Arcturus system and excel at spiritual teaching and advanced healing modalities.
Reptilian Star Seeds have gotten a bad reputation, but like all beings, they exist on a spectrum from service-to-self to service-to-others.
Older Generation Star Beings are those born before the Indigo wave who didn’t receive a specific name but have been working on humanity’s evolution for decades.
Not everyone incarnated on Earth carries a soul spark. Understanding the difference between soul-led beings and organic AI helps explain why some people seem awakened to their starseed nature while others remain completely unaware—and why that’s actually part of the divine plan.
If you want to explore the cosmology of starseeds more deeply—including their connection to Pure Autism, the role of the 144,000, and how different dimensional beings work together for Earth’s ascension—I invite you to read Gods in the Game and Destination New Earth.
Starseeds and the New Earth
“Here’s the bigger picture: we’re living through a planetary shift in consciousness. The old Earth—built on separation, fear, competition, and control—is collapsing. What’s emerging is the New Earth, a fifth-dimensional reality rooted in unity, love, authenticity, and collaboration.”
Starseeds are the bridges between these two worlds.
Every starseed wave brings specific gifts:
- Indigo beings break the old systems
- Crystal beings teach heart-based living
- Rainbow beings anchor higher-dimensional love
- Diamond beings activate humanity’s DNA
- Gold star seeds harmonize the energetic transition
Together, these waves create the conditions for humanity’s greatest evolutionary leap.
What to Do If You're a Starseed
Discovering you’re a starseed can be disorienting, exciting, overwhelming, or all three at once. Here’s what to do with this information:
- Trust your inner knowing. If reading this resonated deeply, trust that recognition. Your soul knows the truth even when your mind doubts.
- Connect with your starseed community. You’re not meant to walk this path alone. Seek out others who understand your mission. Like attracts like energy.
- Do your inner work. The more you heal your own wounds and integrate your shadows, the more effective you’ll be in your mission. Understanding the stages of spiritual awakening can help you navigate this inner transformation.
- Live authentically. The greatest gift you can give humanity is being fully, unapologetically yourself. When you live in alignment with your truth, you automatically create ripples that shift the collective.
- Remember why you came. In difficult moments, reconnect with your mission. You volunteered to be here during this transformational time. You’re stronger than you think.
- Be patient with yourself. Awakening isn’t linear. Some days you’ll feel connected to your purpose. Other days you’ll question everything. Both are part of the journey.
Frequently Asked Questions About Star Seeds
Q: What is a starseed?
A: A starseed is a soul from another star system, dimension, or planet who has incarnated into a human body to assist Earth during its consciousness shift. Starseeds are beings from other worlds who volunteered to help humanity evolve into the New Earth, a fifth-dimensional reality of unity and higher awareness.
Q: How do I know if I'm a starseed?
A: Common signs you’re a starseed include: feeling like you don’t belong on Earth, experiencing homesickness for a place you can’t name, having a strong sense of mission or purpose, being deeply empathic, questioning authority and societal norms, having intuitive or psychic abilities, and feeling drawn to the stars or spiritual topics.
Q: What are the 5 types of star seeds?
A: The 5 waves of starseeds are: Indigo Starseeds (system breakers born 1970s-1990s), Crystal Starseeds (heart teachers born mid-1990s-present), Rainbow Starseeds (higher dimensional beings born early 2000s-present), Diamond Starseeds (DNA activators born late 2000s-present), and Gold Starseeds (frequency harmonizers born 2012-present).
Q: What is an Indigo starseed?
A: Indigo starseeds are the first wave of New Children, born primarily from the late 1970s to early 1990s. They came to break down corrupt systems and bring about a new age of peace. Indigo starseeds are natural rebels, truth-tellers, and system-breakers who question authority and challenge outdated societal structures.
Q: What is a Crystal starseed?
A: Crystal starseeds are the second wave of New Children, born from the mid-1990s to present. They teach humanity how to live from the heart through unconditional love, kindness, and authenticity. Crystal starseeds are highly empathic, often telepathic, and show others what heart-based living looks like.
Q: What is the difference between a starseed and a Lightworker?
A: All starseeds are Lightworkers, but not all Lightworkers are starseeds. A starseed is specifically an individual with a soul from another star system incarnated as a human. A Lightworker is anyone—whether their soul originates from Earth or elsewhere—who made a soul agreement to help humanity heal, evolve, and awaken to higher consciousness.
Q: What percent of the population are star people?
A: Approximately 3% of Earth’s current population are star people—beings incarnated from other star systems. As humanity continues to awaken and shift into higher consciousness, more cosmic souls will incarnate and fewer organic AI (soulless beings), to assist in planetary evolution toward New Earth.
Q: Can star seeds have relationships with non-star beings?
A: Yes, they can have relationships with non-starseeds, though many find these relationships challenging. Starseeds often struggle to find people who understand their perspective or share their mission. However, successful relationships are possible when both partners respect each other’s path and maintain authentic communication.
You Are Not Alone
If you’ve made it this far and you’re feeling that deep soul recognition—that sense of “finally, someone understands”—know this: you are exactly where you need to be.
You are a starseed. Or perhaps a Lightworker. In either case, you are here for the shift.
The New Earth isn’t some distant future reality. It’s being born right now, through you, through your choices, through your willingness to remember who you really are and why you came.

Kristin, I’m glad you found my blog. Welcome. Yes, of course, your brother can be part of the “new tribe.” The New Children are here for a specific purpose, to usher in the New Earth. I share more in my upcoming book (Destination New Earth). At this moment, know you are not alone, and many others are feeling the same–follow your heart and live authentically. <3
I have came in contact with HIM. I am reincarnated to lead. the 144000 have already been chosen. I have been in a process this whole year. I need help!!!!!!
I am new to this, I don’t even know where to start. My husband swears I’m a witch he thinks I’m psychic. I have always been different, I don’t fit in anywhere. I watched a meditation video, and the lady started talking about starseeds. And I identified so much with it. I believe I am an Orion starseed. I have Orion’s belt in moles on my chest. I also have been obsessed with Egypt since childhood. I believe my daughters are crystal starseeds. We have all recently been diagnosed with autism. Does anyone know is there a correlation between autism and if starseeds can give birth to starseed children?
Hi Jamaica, thank you for being here. Yes, there is a correlation between autistics and starseeds. Pure Autists are starseeds. Here is a passage from our book, “Destination New Earth,” “Starseeds represent various alien beings incarnated in human form from multiple planets, galaxies, and universes. They have come to experience and play a role in the shift in consciousness on Earth. The various groups commonly dubbed starseeds include the Pure Autists, the New Children (Indigo Children, Crystal Children, Diamond Children, Rainbow Children), and alien-human hybrids.
I hope that helps. Learn much more in the book.
It’s all connected
Hi Alex, Thank you so much for this blog! I was wondering where the photo at the top was taken? I was also wondering if you know which star each group is most aligned with?
With love,
Sue
Hi Sue,

I appreciate your insights, Brannon.
Thank you for your web site. i’m new to this.
I have a gifted friend and we were talking about the book I just read “The divine design” star seeds came up i the conversation and she said said she thought she was a golden star seed. ( she is approx 30yrs) Never hear of golden star seed. So i found your site. After reading I think she is a mix od diamond and golden. ( never heard of diamond ).
I’m an alternative healer coming from a machinical background and lately moving cancer from clients and my friend can tell me what stage the client is cleared. Some times we work together and she tells me what programs to use and always 100% cleared. ( stage 4 breast cancer , tumors, skin cancers etc.)
I’m constantly been “attacked ” by dark entities and she can remove them sometimes with help. A few times I’ve gone to emergency hospital only to end up at my friends place.for clearing of a sole that didn’t cross over. Died from fire, accident etc and looking for their wife in the present.
Question : why do you think these soles latch on to me.
