Even if you breathe air and walk around on two legs, it’s possible you’re a mer-person in disguise.
We humans are among the most magical and multi-faceted of creatures: our souls contain shimmering aspects and mysterious depths. Perhaps, for example, you were a mermaid in a past life, and still possess some qualities from that time. Or, you could be a shapeshifter: donning your tail and delving into the ocean during your dreams.
Do you suspect you may be a mermaid? Here are 9 signs to look for.
1. You are extra sensitive and intuitive. As a being accustomed to fluidity, the land-locked life may sometimes feel like it has too many hard edges and harsh conditions. You craves constant cleansing, healing, and flow, and your heart aches or hardens when it doesn’t get enough of these things. Additionally, you have strong psychic and intuitive gifts, and may even be an empath.
2. You write poetry, compose music, and/or create visual art. The watery realm is the realm of poetry, song, symbols, and dreams. It’s a language you’re fluent in, and you feel best when you’re speaking it by creating beauty in the form of poetry, music, or art.
3. You have a beautiful singing voice. Mermaids are famous for having irresistible singing voices that draw sailors into their watery home. Mermaid people, also, can mesmerize with their song.
4. You love taking baths, and feel as if they are actually a necessity. When you look for a new place to live, a bathtub is a deal breaker. You need to soak in water and sea salt! There are times that you just don’t feel right without a good, long bath.
5. You crave a home near water. Even if you don’t live close to the ocean, you feel most like yourself if your home isn’t terribly far from a river, lake, waterfall, or stream.
6. You suspect you can actually breathe under water. Mer-people might have the sneaking sense that they could breathe underwater if they tried, and might often experience just such a reality in their dreams.
7. You are a water sign, or have a lot of water in your astrological chart. Not every mer-person is a Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, but many are. Otherwise, you might have a lot of watery signs elsewhere in your astrological chart (your moon or rising sign, for example), or you may have been born during a Chinese water year.
8. You have beautiful hair that you love taking care of. Mermaids are often seen brushing their hair. It seems their locks are a vital aspect of their magical allure.
9. You care deeply about the ocean’s well-being. You are passionate about keeping your home vital and clean. Naturally, ocean-related causes are near and dear to your mermaid heart.
So what’s the verdict? Are you a mermaid person? Please share in the comments.
The most accurate article I’ve read on our past lives and higher self’s peaking through. I stumbled across a story long ago that also struck deep in my core. It was how the mermaid was stolen from another realm and brought here…on my way to try to find that again. Thank you looking forward to discovering more in your blog💜✨
Welcome, Bri! Thanks for connecting.
Omg this was word for word what I was looking for! Please share if you find that article!
Oh my gosh, yes! to all of that! Even though there’s a part of me that LOVES the magic of the forest, it’s MUCH more magical if there’s a creek running through it… or those rare forests that are right next to the ocean. 💕
Well, yes, in a way: a mer-person or mer man, anyway. I dont think my horoscope reflects it. I am a Libra person on the cusp of Scorpio but the only Scorpio aspect is Neptune, itself the planet associated with water. Yet, most of other items resonate very strongly with me! Thanks, Tess. Very insightful.
It’s the Atlantean/Lemurian in you! You are such an ancient soul.
lol. Thanks for the insights, Tess.
6/9 mermaid quiz !
As a kid, I had dreams about living underwater. They were so real.
Jeannette
I agree … me too , I’ve been having sush dreems when i was an babby and always velt an connection with the sea
This feels more me…but I don’t know.
I’m trying so hard to find myself right now. And I live everything about mermaids and the ocean(even though I’m scared of the ocean).
I just feel like somethings missing…and I don’t know what it is…
Same
Yes to all of these! I am a cancer I love mermaids I love the water I love swimming and I feel at peace and calm when I’m near the sea when I was younger my parents would joke that im a mermaid as I was such a water baby
Beautiful! You sound like a mermaid for sure. 🙂
I LOVE BEING IN THE WATER,I ALWAYS DREAM ABOUT TURNING TO A FISH OR SNAKE .I ALWAYS FEEL SOMETHING IS MISSING IN ME.I LOVE MEARMAIDS AND LOVE THINKING ABOUT THEM.
I very recently came to realize that I may be/have been a mermaid and have been looking for more information. Most of these resonate with me, but when I got to suspect they can breathe underwater it took my breath away. I have very vivid memories of being a child swimming underwater too long and taking a breath underwater. Now that I’m older I wonder if it was a dream..but I remember 2 distinct times it happened and even remember thinking about it other times and wondering how I did it.
Sounds like you’re a mermaid person for sure.
Where can I find more information about mer people? Most of what I find in searches relates to Harry Potter. Now that my eyes are opening to this it feels more and more right.
You might want to check out Earth Angel Realms by Doreen Virtue. I know she is no longer a subscriber to her own former philosophies, but in my opinion her past work has a lot to offer anyway.
Thank you!
This exact event has happened to me as well! I was inseparable from the water as a kid, and still feel a strong draw to it. I distinctly remember diving to the bottom of the lake and becoming entangled in milfoil, and running out of breath when suddenly, as I felt I was about to pass out, I took a breath, which gave me the strength to untangle myself. It has happened on a few other occasions. Quite a mystery. It’s interesting to see that I’m not alone. I wonder if there are others who have had similar experiences.
It’s so great to hear I’m not alone! I really thought I must have just dreamed the whole thing up and/or I’m crazy. Knowing someone else has had the same experience makes it much more real for me.
Hi I am almost a mermaid I think because omg all of those are true about me
In 2003 I had a dream (obe~vision~quantic leap) whatever of my merfamily~ They live in packs as elephants, wolves,etc. They are shapeshifters so sometimes I can enter that realm but rarely. I was showned a merboy and told it was mine. Sounds too fantasious? It’s not. Mermaids are real and from time to time they risk showing themselves.
Mimi
Omg it’s all true about me OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
Obvi!!!
hiiiii these all kinda discribe me
same
and im a turus
Ever sense I was a baby I always had a connection with the ocean, I always bought sea shell jewelry always fascinated by the ocean and it’s Beauty! I have been told by lots of people that my singing voice is very beautiful, and I love and respect my hair I’ve grown it to my legs. I’ve also swam with dolphins and I feel as though I understood them. I’ve always have had a connection to the water. But I’m still learning.
