Types of Starseeds: Which Star System Do You Come From?

Does your soul hail from another planet or star system? If so, you’re a starseed. But did you know there are different types of starseeds depending on origins? Here we attempt to define the types of starseeds and provide common physical and spiritual characteristics of each.

Many Types of Starseeds

As you read through each type of starseed and its common traits, keep in mind these traits vary by person. It’s likely you’ve even lived in more than one of these star systems and have picked up traits from a few of those lives. Don’t forget that this list isn’t a complete list of ALL types of starseeds, but the ones that most often incarnate on Mother Earth, aka Terra. If a specific type resonates with you, it’s likely this is what type you are! Write down which traits you have and which starseed types resonate. This will help you figure out which type of starseed you are.

1. Orion Starseeds

Orion starseeds come from the Orion constellation. There are numerous beings from the Orion constellation that migrated there from other star systems. So if you’re an Orion starseed, you’ve probably incarnated in other star systems before Orion. However, Orion might be the incarnation you’ve had more recently before your earthly one. There are different planets/stars in the Orion constellation you might’ve lived on.

Mintaka was a paradise planet, covered by sparkly, diamond-like waters. Some believe whales and dolphins come from the seas of Mintaka originally. Mintaka is no longer in existence. Below we cover Mintakan starseed traits AND Orion starseed traits (which would be anyone from elsewhere in the Orion constellation).

Mintakan Signs and Traits:

• strongly drawn to the water element, you love all things about the ocean, beach, and bodies of water
• intense connection with whales and dolphins
• dreams of swimming or living near lakes and oceans so sparkly they look filled with diamonds
• strong desire to “ascend” spiritually and help others too
• you’re a compassionate person and get pleasure from helping others
• high levels of sensitivity to other beings: potentially empathic

Orion Starseed Traits:

• scientific beings – you’ll be interested and intrigued in all things science, chemistry, astronomy, genetics, etc.
• very intelligent and mostly driven by mentality
• mental but not emotional beings: here to learn how to love and experience emotions
• great sense of humor, can be the life of the party
• optimistic

2. Another Common Type of Starseed: Arcturian

Arcturians are a type of starseed from the star Arcturus, a red giant located in the Bootes constellation. Arcturians are other-dimensional, advanced star beings that incarnate on earth frequently. The star beings are able to be contacted through channeling and divination. Some believe when we die, we pass through the Arcturian realm during the process of return. Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom, has a home in Arcturus.

Arcturian Starseed Traits:

3. Pleiadian Starseeds

Pleiadians are a type of starseed from the Pleiades star system. The Pleiades consists of many stars but in particular seven bright stars.

4. Draconian Starseed Traits

Draconian starseeds are from the Draco constellation. Draco means dragon, therefore many Draconian starseeds are linked to dragons and reptiles of various kinds. The Reptilian race, Lifgarians, grays and other draconians come from Draco. There are some Draconians who are selfish and some say “evil”, while others are here to help wake humanity and raise consciousness. You’ll see debates going both ways when it comes to Reptilians and Grays, particularly. But YOU know your heart better than anyone online!

5. Sirian Starseeds

It’s the brightest star in the night sky and is also called Alpha Canis Majoris. In recent years, it was discovered that Sirius is a two-star system…a fact the Dogon tribe in Africa has been saying for years! Read more about the Dogon’s connection to Sirius here.

Two races of ancient beings called Felines and Avians also come from Lyra and helped establish much of the ancient world on Earth including Atlantis and ancient Egypt.

7. Venusian Starseeds

Is it possible that other planets in our solar system once supported life? Absolutely. And still could in other dimensions and planes of existence. This includes Venus, which brings us to our Venusian starseeds. Venusians live in the fourth dimension and they are also called the Hathors. Hathor is an ancient Egyptian cow-goddess of love and motherhood. It’s said she’s from Venus and seeded Venusians on Earth to teach love and compassion.

8. Martian Starseeds

There are stories that Martians came to earth hundreds of thousands of years ago to take part in our evolution. Others believe life existed in this dimension on Mars many years ago because of the discovery of water on the red planet. There isn’t a lot known about Martian starseeds, but some claim they had origins on the planet. Some Martian starseed traits include:

• being drawn to the planet Mars (finding a desire to travel there or interested in the colonization of Mars)
• have a desire to advance the human race
• strong connection to water and fire elements
• have memories and dreams of being on the surface of Mars

9. Andromedan Starseeds

Andromedan starseeds are from the Andromeda galaxy outside of our own. Though it’s said their galaxy is spiritually linked to ours. There are fewer Andromedan starseeds on earth than others…they are a rare breed! Andromedans are the guardians of the seventh dimension. Here are some of the Andromedan starseed traits:

• often find jobs in the arts and spiritual practices: artists, musicians, teachers, spiritual leaders, tarot readers, writers, etc.
• carefree lifestyle

10. Polarian Starseeds

Polarian starseeds come from the “North Star” Polaris. I’ve also read books in which Polarians were the “first” spiritual beings on this planet from a higher dimension. At that time, they were giants in height. Here are the Polarian starseed traits:

• highly spiritual individuals
• drawn to the North Star Polaris and other dimensions
• yearn to know more about human origins and the ascension process

• may have memories or dreams of the lost civilization of Lemuria
• love being monogamous and make great husbands and wives (value partnership and teamwork)
• seem to be “lucky” in finances and can gain wealth easily (but this is because they’re hard workers and team players)
• interested in metaphysics and spiritual enlightenment
• feel they have an important purpose on earth but sometimes don’t know what that is
• prefer stability and shy away from sudden changes

11. Hadarian Starseeds

Hadarian starseeds come from Beta Centauri. They were all about the love, unconditional love, and are on earth to spread more of it. Story goes that the Hadarians were invaded by a tyrannical race of beings and left their planet to escape enslavement. Many came here but it’s difficult for them to remember what happened because of the trauma they endured.

Hadarian (Beta Centaurian) Starseed Traits:

• all about LOVE, unconditional love
• because of their loving nature, sometimes taken advantage of by others because of their pure way of loving others
• these are the individuals who want nothing more in life than to have strong relationships with others: romantic, friendships, etc.
• may come across as “hippies”, preaching free love
• feel happier and more fulfilled when in a relationship (even if it’s a toxic one, unfortunately)
• here to learn how to love others AND themselves along with the power of free will

• goals are not aligned with money or financial success – they want to help others
• find jobs in the corporate world where they become a part of the team, counselors, philanthropists, humanitarians

12. Alpha Centaurians

Alpha centaurians come from the alpha centauri star system, which is the closest star and planetary system to ours. Science has confirmed there is a habitable planet in Alpha Centauri…which is exciting! Though it’s probably different from Earth. The Alpha Centaurians are an advanced civilization and have seeded some of their souls here on our planet to aid in our development.

Alpha Centaurian Starseed Type:

• your favorite color is purple/violet
• you have a career or are seeking a career in the scientific field
• since you were a child, people have said you were “scary smart”

• people tell you you’re “complicated”, particularly in romantic relationships
• you might be judgmental of others and isolate yourself because of it
• you’re mostly a quiet individual and a daydreamer
• independent and confident

13. Agarthan (Inner Earth) Beings

Ever heard the Hollow Earth theory? If you haven’t, there’s a theory that the earth is actually hollow. And that there’s another civilization inside called the Agarthans. In 1947, a man named Admiral Byrd claimed he’d flown over the North Pole and was taken into the Agarthan city and met people there. Now Agarthans are incarnating on the earth’s surface to help us.

• environmentally driven: may get into activism or a job helping the environment
• may have memories or dreams of going into the earth or residing in the earth
• memories of Atlantis and being drowned in a flood or retreating into the earth
• some believe Agarthans are the same as the faery folk who lived underground according to our ancestors
• may be tall and thin
• pointed ears or “elf-like” qualities
• in-tune with the earth’s cycles, seasons, can feel natural catastrophes coming and their effects

14. Anunnaki Starseeds

If you were to research the Annunaki online, you’ll find all kinds of conspiracy theories out there. Some people believe the Annunaki are demons, evil aliens that are controlling the masses, etc. etc. Here’s what we believe about the Annunaki: they are a branch off of the Sirian civilization and were part of human creation in the beginning. Because of their part in the establishment of earth, specifically in ancient Sumer, they are often thought to be Sumerian gods. Moreover, they lived on a planet called Nibiru and sources claim they’re the same as the grays or reptilians. However, they are not. The Annunaki starseeds are a new realm of incarnating beings of whom we are just beginning to learn about.

You might be Anunnaki if you have these Annunaki Starseed Traits:

• drawn to the ancient civilizations, specifically Sumer, Babylon, Akkadia and Assyria
• feel as if your soul is ancient, older than humanity
• you have a strong need for ritual in your life, both mundane and spiritual
• you’re drawn to shows like Ancient Aliens, specifically when focused on the Annunaki
• you have a longing to return to the skies
• a large head and particularly large almond-shaped eyes
• you favor the air element over the others
• you’re drawn to or work with ancient Sumerian, Babylonian, Akkadian and Assyrian gods like Enlil, Enki or Inanna Ishtar
• you have ancestry from the middle east
• you’ve had dreams of flying or are able to astral project into space easily
• the feeling of wings on your back – a tingling or heavy sensation between your shoulder blades

So, Which Starseed Are You? Can You Come From Multiple Constellations and Stars?

Did any of these starseed types resonate? Did you find which starseed type you are? Maybe you felt a few resonated, which makes perfect sense. Because most starseeds have incarnated on more than one planet and star system! Keep in mind, this list doesn’t include every single starseed type, as the universe is inconceivably large. Finally, I encourage you to read more about the starseed types that resonated, and also read about the stars and planets themselves.

You can check out Allorah’s article on how to look for signs in your natal chart here. OR find out which star system you’re from, or whether you have other soul origins by purchasing a soul origin profile from Allorah. I’ve had one done and it blew my mind! She looks at other realms or origins including: angels, elementals, wise ones and light children.
