Indigo Astrology is a modern, intuitive approach to astrology that integrates traditional astrological wisdom with spiritual evolution, energy awareness, and soul alignment. It is particularly geared toward those of us who resonate with concepts such as Indigo, Crystal, and Starseed consciousness - and feel a deep spiritual purpose and seek to align with their higher self.
Indigo Astrology follows a soul-centered approach, prioritizing spiritual growth, life mission, and evolution over personality traits and external predictions. It aligns with higher consciousness, integrating metaphysical concepts like past-life karma, star origins, and energy work to help you connect with our soul’s higher purpose. Unlike traditional astrology, it encourages an intuitive interpretation, focusing on downloads, synchronicities, and energetic shifts rather than rigid planetary meanings. Planets and zodiac signs are linked to chakras and energy centers, allowing us to work through blockages and enhance our energy flow. This approach embraces multi-dimensional awareness, considering influences such as galactic astrology, numerology, and planetary frequencies. It is mission-oriented, guiding us in discovering our life mission, spiritual gifts, and awakening experiences rather than just mundane concerns.
Traditional astrology primarily focuses on personality traits, external events, and relationships, whereas Indigo Astrology emphasizes soul evolution, spiritual missions, and energy work. While traditional chart interpretation follows fixed planetary and house meanings, Indigo Astrology takes an intuitive, energy-based, and higher-dimensional approach. Rather than predicting outcomes through planetary transits, it highlights free will and energetic alignment as key components. The tools used in Indigo Astrology include chakras, numerology, energy downloads, and starseed origins alongside the natal chart. Its perspective is multi-dimensional and soul-guided, unlike the more psychological and fate-oriented framework of traditional astrology.
Indigo Astrology serves as a tool for self-discovery and inner truth, helping us uncover hidden spiritual gifts, soul contracts, and past-life karma that shape our journey. Understanding planetary placements in relation to chakras and energy flow supports higher self-connection, guiding meditative and healing practices. Many Indigo souls experience accelerated spiritual awakening, with key transformation points often indicated by powerful Pluto aspects or connections to outer planets like Uranus, Neptune, and Chiron. The soul mission and life purpose can be determined through placements such as the North Node, Midheaven (MC), and the 12th house, revealing one’s higher calling and star origins. By integrating energetic healing and chakra work, we can address chakra imbalances, clear energetic blocks, and facilitate deeper spiritual integration. Aligning with cosmic energy through planetary transits and lunar cycles allows us to manifest intentions and receive divine guidance with greater clarity.
In a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming, many individuals experience a deep inner knowing that they are here for a greater purpose. They may feel different, misunderstood, or unusually sensitive to the energies around them. These individuals—often referred to as Indigos—carry a unique spiritual awareness and a powerful inner drive to transform both themselves and the world. But with this heightened awareness comes its own set of challenges: emotional intensity, energetic overload, and a struggle to find balance in everyday life.
The Astrology of Indigos: Everyday Solutions to Spiritual Difficulties by Mary English is a guiding light for those who resonate with the Indigo experience. Blending the wisdom of astrology with practical solutions, this book offers a roadmap for navigating the spiritual, emotional, and energetic difficulties that often accompany the Indigo path. Through an understanding of astrological influences, readers will uncover personalized insights into their soul’s mission, strengths, and the tools they need to align with their highest potential.
Whether you are an Indigo, know someone who is, or simply seek a deeper connection with your spiritual self, this book provides clarity, support, and empowerment. With Mary English’s compassionate guidance, you will learn how to harness your astrological blueprint, overcome obstacles, and embrace the unique gifts that make you who you are. It’s time to step into your purpose and shine your light with confidence.

Our Psychic Junkie ‘Indigo Astrology Project’ started out in 2007 as a single comment and expanded to a whole tribe keen to look for a connection with the star signs of Indigo people.
The very first comment was from Dakotah (Geneseo, New York - USA)
I'm wondering if there is some pattern with the star signs of Indigo people. I'm a Pisces and most of the Indigo People I’ve met are Cancers, Scorpios or Pisces. So I’m just curious... If you are an indigo please add a comment about your star sign.
An Indigo Family - by Drea Meyer
I was first told by a psychic years ago when I was a teenager that I was an indigo she suggested I read the books that Doreen V. Has written and everything that was described matched me to a T. I’ve always been told that I was an old soul very wise for my age .. I’ll be 40 soon. My sun sign is a Sagittarius my moon is Sagittarius my mercury is Sagittarius same with my Uranus also I’m an Aries rising. Pluto in Scorpio I have Sagittarius stellar in my chart I was born in 1984 ever since I was very very young I always knew I was different I never fit it with what others consider normal I always felt a strong urge of needing my freedom. I’ve always been very misunderstood, I am very brutally honest and I don’t hide how I feel. I read energy very very well I’ve first experienced that when I was a young child. At first I thought I was crazy and didn’t share that with anyone but as I got older people would referred to me as psychic and asking ne questions about their lives cause I guess whatever I said always came true. I just have a sense of knowing when I shouldn’t even no. Or I can fully get an understanding of a person by looking at their picture, or hearing their voice or someone talking about them. I can sense when others are lying and I no that really doesn’t sit well with most people cause they can’t manipulate me. I’ve always been a spiritual person and believe that I was out here to serve a great purpose but I guess that’s what I’m still trying to figure out. It’s very comforting to no that there’s others out here just like me and experience similar things in life. I strongly believe my husband is an indigo also He’s a Leo .. My son is a Scorpio super smart for his age.. I’ve always wanted a sense of belonging but I find it very hard to belong to something that I no I’m totally different from the feeling of being alone and misunderstood has been a huge factor of my life. Being able to express and explore my spirituality as I’ve gotten older has been food for my soul. Thank you for all of you that have shared your stories and experiences I hope that I can be at help also with what I’ve shared. If anyone is ever wanting to just connect on a indigo level I would absolutely love that. It hard to find others out here in this world that truly understand who you are. My email address is missdrea123@yahoo.com I would love to talk n explore more things about life purposes and truly bring awaken. Thank you all again
Görkem Yanaz - Turkey Hello World :)

1 house in the sign of Libra 24°--12 house in the sign of Libra 00°...!!!
It is common for indigos to have the numbers 1, 3, 5, 9 or (11) in numerology, this is our very special connection with the universe.
Tiffany - 1985 Aquarius sun/Capricorn moon/Libra Rising
Hello Indigo Astrology Project, I’m Aquarius sun, I have many planets in Aquarius, outer planets in first, second, third, fourth, houses. Neptune in Capricorn with Capricorn moon . Saturn in scorpio. Uranus in Sagittarius and Pluto in the first, Libra is ascendant.
I have a bowl shaped chart, 6 houses empty of major planets. My Neptune is WOW, I have a predictive intuition about so many things. What I predict or think about, even answers to questions I have no firsthand knowledge about or events past, yet especially present to future events. I can/do tell others outcomes of future events—I’m nearly 100% creepy accurate. In fact, my own brothers and friends know not to ever bet me on knowledge of events to come or of past—because they learned that they would lose the bet (and $$) pretty quickly via experience.
I have known that I am here to help since youngest memory , I’m dauntless and fiery! I have red hair and I’m very sensitive to energy and it can become overwhelming like a kryptonite effect all over my body. I’m constantly confounding my family (from another planet—typically said about me). I have often written about the "heaviness" I feel and cannot shake because Tis the dense and negative energies on this plane I believe. Knowing others exist creates a lessoning of the tension of this innate knowing I’m here on mission to help change z World.
I lately live in a strange dreamy/visionary/overlapping realm and time is different. No longer linear, no longer a measure that holds fear over me. Time—feels like globs or bubbles of moments, very floaty and confusing at times. Dreams are accurate or extraordinary and I remember them and I also can change my dream or alter them at will typically since child. But oh my! dreams vs reality, I don’t always know where one ends or other begins. Feels like living in Ven Diagrams of altered states!
I wrote this inside journals when very young: I wish and try to serve the light each and everyday. I wish to give back instead of take. It has become the theme of my life and a mantra of sorts.
I am very rebellious. So happy to see beyond the basic surface, yet wow x wow waking up to truer truth was depressing and breakdown inducing. Yet necessary for me. Life has not been easy, no. Yet, I have survived thus far by knowing I must keep hope’s flame alive, must crawl in darkness whilst searching for the light. I hold that light inside me I learned. I see what I choose, so I have chosen to focus on the positive. Human connection vs dissection. Being of positive value to others, showing up with open hands and face and an energetic willingness to listen, learn, and teach. I see the good in people and I know we’re capable of so much more. Humanitarian and very Uranian. So proud to be an Aquarius since young, I adore my birthday and I’m so happy to be here, even with the heaviness. Oh! and I will not bend the knee for lies or half truths or live a half life.
Zach - Cancer sun, aqua moon, Gemini rising
Cancer sun, Aqua moon, Gemini asc. Cancer in mercury and mars. With water and air being my composites I have high intuition, clairvoyance, clairsentience, empathic to a degree but with my Aquarius ruling my emotions I can cut off all emotions to an extent. ALWAYS BEEN DIFFERENT!!! My parents had no idea what to do with me, they always thought I had adhd Never wanted to sleep, restless, always happy but always sad too. Never could do the same thing as someone else, I hate rules and limitations. Went through brutal awakening, still healing. But the new growth has Set me on my new path as an indigo child. As an empath and psychic I feel so much but it’s not what I’m feeling, it’s what everyone else is feeling. Extroverted introvert. Chasing Indigo Astrology knowledge and spreading healing, love, and light blessed be makes so much sense that I’m an indigo child haha
Cancerian Indigo Pleiadian by: Rachael
33 y.o, born in Melbourne Australia and grew up until my early 20s in rural countryside. Popular and lass clown in high school, very outgoing and social butterfly in teens, until I was around 21. I become quiet, learnt some life lessons, an extrovert turned into an introvert. Always spiritual in some sense, but it very much became my life approx 4 years ago. I have immersed myself in it and it’s my lifestyle and my true, authentic self.
Typical Cancerian in every way (though I am childless and feel I will remain so as a choice).
Been a lover of crystals, rocks, nature, animals, since I can first remember. Do have some memories of my Pleiadian life. Also another life where I had to leave home planet due to war as a child. If anyone wants to connect more, I’d love to hear from anyone and share experiences and Indigo Astrology ideas, Instagram @rachaeljeanart xoxo love to all you lightbeings
Indigo Gemini by: Brendan
Gemini June 1967 Indigo. I awoke in August of 2012 the day after my father died ~ 82. He was blind last ten years of his life and oddly enough I awoke as a clairvoyant. I am an energy healer now on the side.
Gamma Indigo Virgo by: Courtney Scott Martin
Well the forces that be decided to plant me in eastern KY, a very challenging place to be different. I have been very empathetic and somewhat attuned to those and situations around me..I can be brutally honest at times..I've felt misunderstood and different since childhood. My awakening came after a 8 to 10 year stint with drugs...when my body was clean my mind and body went through this major..what I like to call "update" it was like receiving all kinds of knowledge and understandings at in the course of about a year..although it has calmed down I am still learning. Hardest part for me is the "out of place" it can be very lonely, although not just anyone can help. I believe I am choosing to be alone rather than act like someone I am not.
Taurus indigo female by: Angelofjoy
I have had a crazy life some of the stuff that has happened to me I’ve been told should be in a movie.

Cancer Child / water sign by: Indigo Alien
I've know for some time that I am a bit different than the people. Read about indigo, or star child beings long ago but recently I had an encounter with a woman whom is also an indigo and she mirrors my energy perfectly we just seem to have know each other in a past life. I think her birthday is in December so I am not sure this is a indefinite Indigo Astrology connection to star signs or rather zodiac.
I know I am something....but What? by: Justin London
Hi, just waking up and fully realising my awesomeness. Born 1971. In North of England. Mum is a psychic but severely traumatised when young. Why did she experience such trauma? I know that we are shifting dark energy from ancestors and relations. What is the reason for this Indigo Astrology Project? I love you all and happy you are there.
