Perhaps one of the most enigmatic of the constellations is the Pleiades, also called the Seven Sisters. In fact, the Pleiades isn’t a constellation but a cluster of stars within the Taurus constellation, and one that has captured our imagination for thousands of years. Today, there are people who believe they have incarnated here after incarnating elsewhere in the Universe. These people refer to themselves as “starseeds”. And many feel an affinity for the Pleiades. If you are here reading this, you likely feel that deep pull towards this beautiful cluster of stars. Here we will explore the origins and history of Pleiadians and give you some signs to determine if you might have once incarnated in the Pleiades before coming here.
Pleiades and Our Ancient Star Origins
We acquired the name for the Pleiades from the Ancient Greeks. The term Pleiades likely translates to something meaning “to sail”, and also has a mythological connection to the Pleiades sisters. The Seven Sisters can be seen in the Northern Hemisphere in the Winter months and are almost always visible near the mid-Southern hemispheres. Our ancient ancestors, including the Greeks, Celts, Maya, Maori, Aztec, Arab, Japanese, and Cherokee, are some of the few who knew of the Pleiades and associated the stars with the gods.
444 Light Years and The Portal
The Pleiades are approximately 444 light years from Earth, making them one of the closest star clusters. When we see the number 444, we are immediately reminded of the angel number 444 which symbolizes the balance of the Universe, infinity, and that we are not alone. According to author Christopher Penczak in Ascension Magick, the Pleiades may act as an otherworldly portal between here and higher dimensions. We may access it through meditation and through channeling the beings there. There are channels here on earth that claim to channel these beings with ease. Be careful which “gurus” you trust and the information they give to you. I’m a believer that you can access these beings on your own – you don’t need a “medium” to do so.
Pleiadian Gods, the Seven Sisters, and Starry Beings
According to Christopher Penczak, the Pleiadian beings have been aiding humanity for aeons, and whose mission is the elevation of humanity and to help bring us into the next dimension. “They have played a role in the Mediterranean, Chinese, and Mayan cultures, and are involved in the arts and poetry.” So, if you find yourself inclined to paint, write books, write poetry, or make music, you might have a Pleiadian guide on the other side providing you with inspiration. As they are trying to bring us into the next dimension, you would think this would be easy for them, since they live in the fifth dimension. But humanity still has a lot of work to do, don’t we?
It’s also believed the Pleiadian beings were here when humanity began and are keepers of our “light libraries”. Keep in mind, while most Pleiadian beings are benevolent and kind and loving, there are some that might be rebellious and have gone against their own dimensional missions. Vet your starry guides just like you vet your ancestors, gods, and other spirits you might work with.
The 7 Starry Goddesses
The main stars in the Pleiades are named for the Seven Sisters of Greek Mythology: Electra, Taygete, Maia, Celaeno, Alcyone, Sterope and Merope. These Seven Sisters were born of their Titan father Atlas and their mother an Oceanid named Pleione. What’s interesting is that these sisters were born to Atlas, a god that holds up the earth itself, and an Oceanid who reigned over the seas. So, even though these stars are “far away”, they have a close connection to our planet. In the Greek mythos, the Seven Sisters became the object of the hunter Orion’s obsession, and so Zeus changed them into doves (who then flew into the heavens and became stars) to protect them from his advances.
Interestingly, the Seven Sisters were not only nature nymphs but also companions of the Greek goddess of the Moon and of the Hunt – Artemis. The Seven Sisters cared for and taught the Greek god of the forest and of intoxication, Dionysus. And they are heavily associated with rain and sailing the seas. From these myths, we can take away energetic impressions of the Pleiadian starseeds and Pleiadian starry beings.
And if longing seizes you for sailing the stormy seas,
when the Pleiades flee mighty Orion
and plunge into the misty deep
and all the gusty winds are raging,
then do not keep your ship on the wine-dark sea
but, as I bid you, remember to work the land.
— Hesiod, Works and Days 618–623
Signs You’re From the Pleiades or are a Pleiadian Starseed
It should go without saying that if you’re drawn to the Pleiades, this is your first sign that you are a Pleiadian starseed. But there are other signs and characteristics that come through when a soul from the Pleiades incarnates here on this earthly plane. You may have one, five, or all of these qualities. And if not, check out our article on the many different Types of Starseeds.

How to Connect with Your Pleiadian Higher Self and the Pleiadian Beings
You consider yourself a Pleiadian starseed but now what? Is it just a label you give yourself to feel good or is there a higher purpose? I believe once we find our starry origins, we should dive deeper into those energetic vibrations through study, meditation, and practice. Here are some ways to connect with your Pleiadian higher self and with Pleiadian starry ancestors.
1. Read and Study
There are some wonderful books and resources out there that I recommend Pleiadians study. First, anyone and everyone would benefit from reading Christopher Penczak’s Ascension Magick. It speaks frequently of higher dimensions, other planes of existence, and our starry origins. Including Pleiadian. In addition, Barbara Hand Clow’s book The Pleiadian Agenda: A New Cosmology for the Age of Light. Read anything you can get your hands on about ascending and other dimensions.
2. Meditation
When we meditate, we clear our mind and we are in a receiving state. When we are in a receiving state, it’s easiest for our guides and other worldly beings to communicate with us. And for us to come in alignment with higher dimensions and our higher selves. Try guided meditations on YouTube or Spotify if you’re not well-adept to meditating. Try different music and atmospheres too until you find something that works.
3. Time in Nature
It may seem cliche and simple but spending time in nature is so important for true alignment with our higher selves and with our Pleiadian star ancestors. I particularly recommend spending time in a local forest, field, or by the sea. The energies there are pure and evoke a sense of Pleiadian vibration. While out in nature, ask your higher self and Pleiadian star guides to send you a clear message via an animal or plant. Then be open to receiving that message.
4. Divination for Pleiadians
I’ve found that practicing divination is my main mode of communication with my ancestors and higher self. It is a practice, so it takes time to find what really works for you and your ancestors. So try different things – runes, Oracle cards, Tarot cards, scrying, etc. There are decks out there specifically focused on starseed energy including the Starseed Oracle deck by Rebecca Campbell and the Sirian Starseed Tarot deck. If the cards don’t work, try scrying with the clouds, water, or a scrying mirror. You’ll receive messages from your guides and higher self when you are open and in alignment.
5. Art and Poetry for Pleiadians
The Pleiadians are known for their affinity for the arts. Do you have a musical instrument you’ve not played in a long time? Time to dust it off and play. If you prefer to sing or dance, let it rip! By connecting with the music, you’re nurturing your inner Pleiadian starseed. If you’re a proficient musician, channel your creativity and spirituality into your music and inspire others. Paint a picture, write poetry, craft something with your hands. Making art makes the soul happy and connects us with our higher selves.
6. Work with the Seven Sisters
If you feel comfortable with working with godly energies, consider setting up sacred space for the Seven Sisters. Or Artemis or Dionysus. These beings are intricately tied to the Pleiadian constellation and will no doubt aid you in your ascension and in discovering your true self. Study, communicate with, and honor these Pleiadian beings and ask they come through with lessons and guidance for you on your earthly journey.
7. Finding Your Soul Purpose
I’ve been listening to a lot of Abraham Hicks work lately, and it’s all about finding alignment with your true self and finding your soul’s purpose. Some people think it’s difficult to find their soul’s purpose here on this planet. But I actually think it’s much easier than people make it out to be. Answer this question – what makes your soul happy? What do you do in life that literally brings you the greatest joy? That’s your soul’s purpose.
8. Humanitarian Efforts
The Pleiadians have been here for aeons, and their mission has to be aid us in our evolution and expansion. If you are a Pleiadian starseed, you might find great joy and growth in volunteer work. Or working in a career field that helps people, the planet, or animals. Consider a job in the healthcare field, spiritual field, or working a job in nature (i.e. a gardener, farmer, park ranger, etc.) And, if you already have a job, consider volunteering or donating time or money on the side.
