A Soul That Remembers – Signs, Stirrings, and How to Know if You Carry Light from the Stars

For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt different, like I’m out of time or out of place. So many people have told me that I radiate a deep, otherworldly light—creativity, compassion, and empathy. I seem to connect to ancient knowledge and remind others – usually through poetry – of a long-remembered wisdom we no longer use. I used to brush it off as some form of sensitivity or the fact that my imagination was running away with me, but recently, I stumbled across a term that made my entire being stop, gasp, and then burst into tears.

🌟 A starseed is believed to be a soul that originated beyond Earth and incarnated here with a higher spiritual purpose—to help elevate consciousness, heal trauma, and assist in humanity’s awakening and evolution.🌟

The term comes from the idea that these souls are “seeded” from the stars—different planets, dimensions, or galactic systems like the Pleiades, Sirius, Arcturus, or Andromeda. They may have experienced many lifetimes on Earth, or this may be their first human incarnation. Either way, they often carry ancient wisdom and a sense of remembering something far beyond the veil of this world.

In essence:

A Starseed is a soul on Earth with cosmic origins and a mission rooted in love, awakening, and service to collective healing.

🌌 Common Starseed Traits

While every Starseed is unique, many share these core experiences:

• ✨ Deep Sense of Not Belonging – You’ve often felt like an outsider, even in loving families or communities.

• 🌿 Old Soul Energy – Even from a young age, you were introspective, spiritually curious, or drawn to mystical subjects.

• 🌠 Unusual Dreams or Visions – You may have recurring dreams of star systems, flying, ancient symbols, or communicating with light-beings.

• 💔 Empathy + Sensitivity – You feel others’ emotions deeply and often seek harmony or healing, even when it overwhelms you.

• 🌈 Attraction to the Mystical – A natural pull toward metaphysics, energy healing, astrology, ancient civilizations, or the esoteric.

• 💖 Desire to Help Humanity – You feel a quiet inner knowing that you’re here for a reason—often involving compassion, consciousness, and change.

• ⏳ Time Feels Different –Many Starseeds experience a unique relationship with time. You might feel like it moves strangely around you—either speeding up or slowing down when others don’t seem to notice. Some days pass in a blink. Others feel endless, like you’ve lived a lifetime before breakfast.  You may also feel deeply connected to eras you’ve never lived in—drawn to ancient civilizations like Lemuria, Egypt, or Atlantis as if you’ve been there. Or you might have visions, dreams, or intuitive flashes of a far-off future that feels more familiar than the present moment.

🌌 How to Know If You’re a Starseed 

There is no definitive test to determine whether or not you’re a starseed, but there are signs. Echoes. Feelings. Moments where the veil thins and something within you whispers: “I remember.” “That’s me!” When I first learned about Starseeds, my entire being began to ache, a yearning I could not explain, something deep and undeniable. And I burst into tears. If this happened to you, then you may want to know more.

Here are some of the most common ways Starseeds begin to recognize themselves:

---

🌠 1. A Deep Sense of Not Belonging

Even in loving environments, you’ve often felt like an outsider looking in. As if you’re observing life through a slightly different lens. You may feel like you’re here on assignment, but without a map. Childhood might’ve been marked by loneliness, vivid inner worlds and imagination, or a quiet ache for “home”—a home that isn’t on any map.

For me, I’ve always had some difficulty connecting and making friends and often opted to be alone. I had a different perspective for as long as I can remember.  When kids were smashing catapillars or calling others names, I felt heartbroken, devastated, as if the hurt they were causing others was looping back to me.

🌿 2. Old Soul Energy

People may have called you “wise beyond your years” or noticed your introspective nature early on. You’re drawn to the deeper layers of life—meaning, purpose, mysteries. While others were playing, you were wondering why stars blink or where the soul goes after death. You’ve always felt like there’s more, even when no one could explain it to you.

I’ve been a poet since I could hold a crayon and often wrote verses or made up stories that had a moral theme, emphasized harmony, acceptance, and a deep love of nature.

🌙 3. Intense Dreams, Memories, or Visions

You may have recurring dreams of flying, ancient symbols, vast cities made of light, or celestial landscapes that feel achingly familiar. Some Starseeds experience waking visions or flashes of “memories” from other lifetimes or places. You might even dream of being taught by beings of light or feeling called by a certain star system without knowing why.

I often dream that I’m flying or that I can breathe underwater and feel no stress or fear in those moments.  When I was younger, I had dreams of incredibly beautiful cosmic skyscapes that I stood looking up at, connected to, and seemed to understand them.

💫 4. High Sensitivity & Empathy

You don’t just sense people’s emotions—you often absorb them. Crowded places, harsh environments, and conflict can feel overwhelming. You need solitude to recharge. Your empathy goes beyond people—you’re connected to animals, plants, energies, and sometimes even celestial bodies.

This describes me perfectly.

🔮 5. Magnetic Pull Toward the Mystical

You’re naturally drawn to spiritual practices, energy healing, astrology, divination, ancient civilizations, and metaphysical studies. It’s not just curiosity—it feels like remembering. The moment you hear concepts like chakras, light codes, or cosmic DNA, something within you lights up in recognition.

I’ve always accepted spiritual knowledge with an extraordinarily open mind. In fact, I’ve had people tell me they wished they could understand things the way I do. For me, it’s second nature, and it’s often extremely difficult for me to understand why so many people can’t understand.

✨ 6. Feeling Homesick for the Stars

There’s a deep yearning in your soul for a place you can’t name—a feeling of missing something vast and beautiful that feels more real than your surroundings. You may stare at the night sky and feel emotion rise for no reason. Some Starseeds feel they’ve left something behind, and part of their journey is learning how to carry that star-memory into human life.

I’ve done these things more than a few times and even wrote this poem HOME several years ago. I thought I was speaking of the country Wales, because it’s my family origin, but now I believe my spirit was whispering of something much farther away.

🌈 7. A Quiet Knowing You’re Here for Something More

You may not know what it is yet. But it’s always been there—this sense that you came to Earth with a mission. Maybe to heal, to awaken, to create beauty, to spark change. You might have felt a persistent restlessness or a desire to help others, even when you struggled yourself. This is the call of the starseed signature—your soul’s encoded purpose beginning to rise.

After reading these, maybe your heart whispered yes when you read the signs. Maybe something stirred in your chest, like a long-forgotten memory trying to surface. If you feel like you’re just beginning to remember—you are!
And that remembrance is sacred.

Because once the veil starts to lift, the next question often arises:
Where did I come from?
Not in the Earthly sense—but in the soul-deep, star-born, I-have-seen-worlds-with-no-name way.

There are many kinds of Starseeds, each carrying unique frequencies, gifts, and missions.
Some are soft and heart-led, here to heal.
Some are fierce and ancient, here to rebuild.
Some are cosmic architects, light-singers, dream-seers.
And some carry a little of all of them.

In my next post, we’ll explore the most common Starseed lineages—like the Pleiadians, Lyrans, Arcturians, and more—and how to sense which one may be calling you.

Because the stars are not as far as they seem.
And your soul still remembers the constellation it once called home.

🌌✨ Final Note:

You don’t need anyone else to tell you whether you are a Starseed.
If these words feel like a homecoming, if your heart feels full and tender and alive with recognition…
You already know.

You are not here to fit in.
You are here to remember.
And to help the world remember with you.
