Nihal, the Indigo and Blue Ray Marker
Nihal, also known as Beta Leporis, is the 2nd brightest star in the Lepus constellation. It's believed to be a binary star system and is over 240 million years old. Lepus, the hare, is located below the feet of Orion and is often thought to be his target, or the prey of his dogs, Canis Major and Canis Minor. Nihal is located at Gemini 19°. If you have any planet, luminary, lunar node, Chiron, or your Vertex at this degree, you may be an Indigo Soul. You may even be an ultra-rare Blue Ray, but I'll get into that in a moment.
I love mythology and how it relates to the constellations and weaving it all together into a meaningful nugget, but Lepus doesn't really have any mythology to speak of other than what I mentioned above. Yet, the rabbit has its own thing going on, for sure. It is the literal manifestation of the magician and is proof of his powers, materializing out of pure intention. The rabbit has been murdered for his lucky feet, as if hanging a dead foot from your key chain could bring you luck. *Insert eyeroll* In Chinese astrology, the rabbit is described as shy, articulate, peace-seeking, and lucky. This correlates nicely with the tender Blue Ray souls, so let's go there.
You have likely heard of Indigo, Crystal, and Rainbow children/adults/souls. You may not have heard of the Blue Rays, the forgotten ones. They are often mistaken for Indigos and do have many similarities, but are even more empathic and sensitive. Think Moon in Pisces or water warrior type of being. It is believed that Indigos are Nihal Starseeds, and/or that they have the Gemini 19° marker. My personal belief is that this marker can be a Blue Ray indicator as well. The bottom line is that Lightworkers in general are here to be of service, but must do their own work before they can step into this role in a greater way. Because of this, there are numerous shared traits across the board of various starseed types and soul types. In addition, most of us carry the signatures of our soul's numerous and varied experiences throughout the multiverse.
So what makes the Blue Rays different? In essence, they suffer from low self-esteem in their young life and only speak up for themselves when pushed to the EXTREME. They are more likely to stand up for others before themselves. They KNOW they have a mission, yet literally cannot pin it down until they step into their power, and only then if they've found their self-worth on their own. Their empathic abilities and care for other beings is super extra. Because of this they can stay in unhealthy relationships and situations way too long, are mega targets for narcissists and sociopathic personalities, and can be highly and unfairly judged by others because of their sensitivity and tolerance.
- Like Indigos they do not acknowledge authority and inherently see all as equal. Yet, Blue Rays will internalize the anger and frustration that is caused by their boundaries being pushed. This makes them susceptible to adrenal fatigue and other stress-related health problems.
- Like Indigos they feel different than everyone around them and can feel lonely and misunderstood most of the time. Yet, Blue Rays will stand on their heads a million different ways in their attempts to fit in, hide their natural abilities, and fantasize about being normal as children. At least until they find and fully embrace their self-authority and live from that place completely.
- Blue Rays are generally between the ages of 30-50 at this time, but this is not a hard rule.
- Once they have stepped into their power, they cannot turn back. It usually involves sharing sacred wisdom, healing, teaching spiritual practices, various spiritual service, etc.
- Blue Rays are healed, balanced, and grounded by living waters and should spend time in and near water in order to stay balanced.
- Blue Rays have a natural connection to the Divine Feminine and can carry many energetic attachments to people, places, and things until they learn to set themselves free and transmute their pain, through integration, into power. They can be highly irritating and triggering to vampiric entity attachments in people around them.
*A note to say that my work is no longer focused on Blue Ray specifics or other spiritual groupings or labels. I leave these articles up in case they help someone as I am called away from these themes to assist with deeper healing and awakening.

My North Node is at 14 degree Gemini and I am resonating very deeply with this. Learning I was a blue ray has been quite the journey. It first started with my divine team telling me that I will see them as I see myself and I see them as Blue Orbs. Then I randomly was told I needed to check out Blue Ray Starseeds and I couldn’t believe how accurate the descriptions were to who I am. Especially the lower self esteem as a child, even as an adult, I have just in the past year began stepping into my power and developing a voice. Thank you so so much for sharing. Xo
Hi! I just found this post and I find it extremely helpful. I have the Gemini marking as well, and so much of your description of the Blue Rays is spot on for me. My whole existence up until recently has been characterized by never really fitting in and the feeling that I am designed for so much more. Thank you!
Katie! This upcoming full moon on 12/12 is exactly conjunct Nihal which will be your Midheaven! Sister… you’re about to soar even HIGHER. And I actually know exactly what you are saying here. It took me FOREVER to feel like I was qualified enough to talk about pretty much anything…all the while seeing others teaching, coaching, etc when they just had their “awakening” 6 months prior. This is NOT a judgement about that, but more of an acknowledgement that my lifetime of being awakened and conscious was never enough for me. I needed more degrees, more certifications, more this more that. To be honest I still struggle from time to time…usually during a challenging astro aspect (Like the Sun square Neptune happening right now). This is this inner integrity we have though, and this is why I want to help people find and trust their own inner authority more than anything. I may do it with astrology, tarot, mediumship, etc. but that’s really all I want to do. Thank you for sharing your heart with me. <3 <3 <3
You know already, as we’ve discussed this, I have this marker in my midheaven. It’s been a real challenge for me because, well, I feel like many are out there sharing wisdom and knowledge without really even knowing what the help they’re talking about. You know the kind, there are lots of them… and not that they are even necessarily doing it vindictively or even consciously… but they are misleading people, and greatly. I have felt very challenged with truly knowing what I am supposed to share then, and that self esteem thing is real, I have learned the hard way that I must protect my sacred space and get a lot of alone time which nurtures my trust within myself. I love your work Ananda, and I appreciate you sharing. 🙏🏼💙
I have 19 Gemini 40 in my chart and I resonate with this so much!!! 💙 I am only 24 years old but I feel that I may be a blue ray. I am going to do more research but this is very helpful, thank you.
