Do You Belong to One of the 5 Indigo Generations?

There are many reasons why you may feel unique. Could you or someone you know be part of the Indigo generations?

The following article will answer some of the questions you may have about indigo children and will help you find the “miracle children” in your close circle. One of the New Age theorists is Ms. Nancy Ann Tappe, who worked on the Indigo generations in an almost scientific manner and divided them into five categories according to the date of birth of these children.

Here are the five Indigo generations, according to Tappe:

Alpha Generation

The first generation, which was called Alpha, includes children born in the period between 1958 and 1968. According to Tappe, the period of the awakening of the Alpha generation was from 1986 until 1996. Their aura was seen as dark blue and green with purple shades.

The aura was also under the influence of the metallic beige hue, protecting them from external attacks and excessively early showing of indigo potential. Since early childhood, the Alpha had a feeling of being different, as if they did not belong to their home, country, or parents. The reasons for these differences were always vague and never provided a satisfactory explanation.

Beta Generation

They are people born in the period between 1968 and 1978. The period of their awakening coincides, roughly, with the period between 1996 and 2006. The colors of their aura are blue – green – purple, but no longer the color of the metal shield.

A typical feature of both generations, Alpha and Beta, is that they look much younger than they actually are, Tappe says.

Gamma Generation

The Gamma is the third generation of Indigo children, born between 1978 and 1988. The period of the intellectual awakening of these children coincides with the period between 2006 and 2016. This is the first generation with the minimum protective shield. It is usually purple with markings of ocher or a crystal color.

Delta Generation

These children are born between 1988 and 1998. One of the characteristics of the fourth generation is the pure indigo color of the aura. The period of maturation and spiritual awakening of the delta generation coincides with the period from 2016 until 2026.

This generation is too sensitive and needs plenty of help. These people are overactive and quite extroverted. They like to show the world who they really are and often do this with great self-confidence. In their environment, they want blue and purple colors and enjoy slow music. They avoid crowded places and anything that causes nervousness.

The Delta generation usually has difficult teenage years. Many of these kids think that something is wrong with them, they may dabble with drugs or have suicidal tendencies. The best remedy for them is Nature.

Omega Generation

Children born between 1998 and 2008 belong to the so-called Omega indigo generation. Supposedly this is the last “pure” indigo generation. According to Tappe, this generation will experience the “Dark Night of the Soulfrom 2026 until 2036.

Children born in the Delta and Omega period, are also called Crystal Children because of a particularly bright, crystal color in their aura.

These children are particularly vulnerable to various dermatology problems, allergies, and diseases (especially to those of the upper respiratory tract due to high environmental pollution). Also, a large proportion of them are characterized as autistic or suffers from Asperger syndrome. Tappe claims that autism in children is a way of self-protection from the attack and neurosis of the outside world.

The Awakening of Indigo

For each of the indigo generations, the process of awakening begins around the age of 28-29 years and lasts about 7.5 years. The “Dark Night of the Soul” is a period that can be particularly difficult because it is the final return of an indigo person to their mission in this life. This period is full of different problems and various difficult challenges.

In the mature age (37 – 39), the recovery of psychic abilities begins, Tappe claims. Until then, this person had enough time to finally learn to trust their psychic powers without being startled or trying to share their experiences with others.

Tappe claims that these internal experiences may include: having a clear insight, direction, and possible internal communication with the spirit world; the ability to read thoughts, feelings, and intentions of others; understanding the parallel levels of reality; a true insight into the nature of time.

While there is no evidence to support the claim that Indigo children are real, many people believe that they are. So let’s keep our mind open, shall we? If you are a spiritual person, maybe believing that you are an indigo child or adult could help you realize your potential. You may not have realized the awakening as it was happening. Maybe you just know someone who is part of the Indigo generations.

Whatever the case, this may be the real reason you or someone you love feels different. After all, the indigos are said to possess unique qualities, so maybe it’s just a metaphor for being a gifted, sensitive, and highly creative individual.

  • I am a "Delta" Indigo born Jan 13th 1994 at 13:13, diagnosed at 11 with ADHD and was always being supressed in school for being too active, the medication Concertra XL destroyed me for a year until i took myself off them at 16, i had my awakening in 2017 when i called myself indigo i would hear it in my head for years before until i found out what it meant, i lost myself and rebuilt myself up many times after a lifetime of trauma, i didnt start to heal until age 26 in 2020 and since i did ive been fast tracked towards my true path as now- in the midst of a heavy spiritual karmic war i found my gift and now use it to help others get onto their path daily, when you stay true to your path and never give up you will be protected from anything and guided towards where youre meant to be

  • 58. Dreams not dreams, spiritual time travel, KNOWING things, yeah, that was then, as a boy. Now, now it's all back baby and I feel a roar coming

  • I am also a gamma indiego. I always knew I was different but after a NDE at age 26 , it all started coming back to me. While I was on the other side I woke up as a divine being. I also have 2 beautiful starseed children. There is so much to tell but do not know where to begin. The main thing or question I need to ask is has anyone else had repeating dreams of a tsunami? But the thing that was most peculiar I’m the dream was that after the water washed over us we were still alive.

  • As a Delta Generation Indigo, I was educated at 19 by a man who later became my dad. He entered my life after having thee most traumatic experience. He was in multiple secret societies and he promised me to never join any. I will hold true for my word is my bond. He changed his dark ways later in life and called me his SUN because i lit up hos world. He wanted to teach me the art of chaos magic to protect myself. I didn't realize until I hit 30 after i was in 2 car accidents and from the trauma I'm still experiencing, it has pushed me into full awareness. Its very tough.. seeing the energy and absorbing peoples pain and giving them my good energy. It just happens like a passive trait. I need to recharge alot though. Music is my saving grace. It speaks to me in a way nothing else can compare. I am also am INFJ and a double water trine. I have had alot of help with my angel Raguel. He is always here for me when i need him. im adjusting to a new way of life. I do lead by example. I'll be 31 on March 13th and I'm told that things are only going to get even more intense. I am sooo ready to see what's in store. I hope you are all doing well in your awakening. A little cheat code, dedicate a song to your angel and things will amplify when you play that song. Be serious about it though.

    Thank you for reading this, I appreciate you. Love ya beautiful souls!

  • This body I'm using to write this was born in 1973. If I'm an Indigo, I suppose by this article, I'm mid Beta-generation. I've always been very different in both my abilities and understanding. My grandmother used to call me for advice when I was 16, for example. Always been considered strange, weird, odd, freak. I learned to understand it as what people call you when they don't know how to classify you and they don't understand you. I am what I am, and that might as well be what I embrace. When I did embrace my natural self, it was very tragic at first (the sky was falling) but over time I came to realize that all that was really just things shifting to accommodate my vibrational adjustment. Since, my life is much better and freer. I've had some hard time, like everyone else, but mine seem to have had such specific outcomes that I can't bring myself to believe that they were not intentional for me to experience. They put me on the path to what I do today, which can be summed up as trying to make the world a better place and make a living while I am at it. I was 34 when my "eyes started opening" and even now at 50 I feel like I am still discovering what's what. My live before 34, and especially in HS, I was walking around in a daze. Sometimes in HS I would literally "come to" walking down the hall and have no idea where I was, what day it was, or what class I was going to. Also went through crippling anxiety and serious depression. Got off the meds by figuring out why I was depressed and fixing it myself. No doctor ever thought of doing that, I'll tell you! I am past 90% of my fears now and I haven't had depression in a long time. Now I'm focused on helping others learn and being a support system for others to learn in months or less what took me decades to figure out on my own. Also try to help others to heal how I can, when I can, and if they're willing to let me. I'm not sure if I'm an Indigo, but I am told that a lot, and the "old soul" thing too, but they say that to everyone I think. I have always strongly believed that if I can make a positive difference in the lives of others and make the world a better place, then my life will have been worth the pain and suffering humans invariably go through. It's hard to know what to believe, so many different and conflicting sources of information. I try to keep an open mind and just continue exploring and adjusting according to what seems to make the most sense based on my experiences and understanding. If this whole Indigo thing is real, then it doesn't matter if we believe we are Indigos or not. What matters is what we choose and do in life. One of my favorite quotes of all time, one I try to live by, is by Mahatma Ghandi: Be the change you wish to see in the world. May you who read this be blessed with success in your endeavors.
