The idea of being born under a certain sign is not new. However, what is gaining attention right now is the idea of Indigo Children who have now become Indigo Adults. These people are considered to have been born with an indigo life aura. You are probably asking the question “What are Indigo Adults?”. Where did this concept come from? What are the characteristics of being an indigo? These are all questions that will be answered in the following post!
What are Indigo Adults?
Indigo adults are those who are classified as creative, rebellious and intelligent souls. Many people use the term Starseeds when describing an indigo adult. A Starseed is thought to be a person with an ancient soul that may or may not have come from this galaxy. Interestingly, most Starseed or indigo children were born in the 1980’s and in the early 1990’s.
As a child, indigo adults often feel as though they are out of place. They may feel as though their own family does not understand them. And they may even show signs of having a hard time dealing with what society feels are the societal norms. Many believers that hold on to this idea state that this is because the soul is so ancient, it has a hard time adjusting to what is considered normal by today’s societal means. Their aura color is often blue, a vibrant blue, when they are younger.
It is believed that indigo children are put onto this Earth to make it better. Many people believe that Indigo adults are going to be the ones who lead society into a peaceful way of life, who will end war, poverty and other major issues. In fact, many people are putting their faith into the good that those with this aura are going to bring to the world.

- Do you always have a better way of doing things than what is outlined to you?
- Do you have trouble responding to authority? Do you often feel as though you are fighting against authority figures?
- Do you naturally feel superior to those who are around you?
- Are you what would be considered a nature enthusiast? Do you feel at home around nature, plants and animals and prefer to spend your time in nature?

Where do you go from here? Once you have been diagnosed as an indigo adult, it is up to you on where you go from here. For many people, simply finding out why they are the way they are is enough to give them satisfaction in life. They now know that there is nothing wrong with them, despite what many children with these traits are told while growing up. Unfortunately, they are often told that they are loners with mental issues that prohibit them from acting like normal kids.
For others, once they realize that they are an indigo adult, they tend to foster these traits even more. They may take up meditation or some other form of relaxation to truly open themselves up to the world that is beyond their physical world. They will look for various ways in which they can live up to their true potential. How can you do this? Start by looking at yourself and truly examining the inner workings of your mind. Find out what you want out of life and then go for it.
