Embrace the Power of the Lion’s Gate Portal: Your Guide to Manifestation and Transformation
"Within the roar of the lion lies the whisper of the universe, reminding us that courage is not the absence of fear but the master of it."
~Unknown
Welcome to one of the luckiest days of the year and possibly the best days to manifest for nine years! Yes, today is the Lion's Gate Portal which opens today through August 12th.
What is the Lion’s Gate Portal?
The Lion’s Gate Portal opens every year on August 8th. This occurs when the Earth, the Sun, and Sirius—the brightest star in the night sky, found near the constellation Orion—align. The alignment of Sirius with the Sun in Leo is believed to amplify the energy of this astrological event, creating a powerful window for manifestation and transformation.
The Pyramids at Giza and sphinx are perfectly aligned with the stars and specifically Orion's belt during this early August time. Historically, ancient Egyptians revered Sirius, considering it a celestial timekeeper. Its appearance in the pre-dawn sky heralded the start of the annual flooding of the Nile and marked a sacred time of ceremonies and celebrations. This alignment was crucial for agriculture and was considered a symbol of rebirth and renewal.
Why This Year is Extra Special
2024 holds a unique significance because it is a universal 8 year (2 + 0 + 2 + 4 = 8). So 8 (for August) 8 (for the day) and 8 (from the addition of the year 2024). Yes that magical 8 number known in history to be revered; in christianity, Chinese culture, Egyptian culture, Japanese culture and more. This special number of 8 known in some cultures to bring prosperity, abundance and success. The convergence of the Lion’s Gate Portal and this numerological energy amplifies the potency of this year’s manifestations. The number 8, resembling the infinity symbol when turned on its side, signifies limitless possibilities and cyclical abundance. The next time we will experience this potent combination of astrological and numerological power will be in 2033. So, seize this opportunity to make the most of this rare alignment!
Manifesting Through the Lion’s Gate Portal
The abundance of Leo energy is where I like to focus to embrace and feel the full capacity of this special time. The sign of Leo has courage, confidence, strength, love, and self expression. Focusing on these positive qualities in yourself or what you want more of is a perfect place to start. BOLDNESS is the key. Do not shrink yourself or downplay your shine. ]
So what are my plans for embracing this fire-y and abundant night of energy and some advice for you to do the same?
1. Embrace the Energy of Leo
Leo’s energy is vibrant and full of life. This sign embodies courage, confidence, and self-expression. Tap into these qualities by expressing yourself, wear what makes you feel bold and fearless. Confidence starts with what YOU feel best in, even if you are spending time home alone.
2. Practice Mindful Breathing
Take a few moments to center yourself with deep, mindful breathing. Consider setting aside 8 minutes for this practice, aligning with the powerful number of the day. Use this time to ground yourself and connect with your inner strength.
3. Set Your Intentions
During the Lion’s Gate, clarity is key. So start with some breathing exercises or even some light movement (once again, what sounds good to YOU right now, in this moment?). Visualize your goals and dreams as if they have already come true. Write down your desires in detail, focusing on the feeling of accomplishment and success. Allow yourself to dream big and embrace the limitless potential of this time. Journal everything and anything you want, NO MATTER how impossible that feels, remember we don't have to manifest the "how" right now.
5. Journal Your Dreams
Reflect on the following prompts to guide your journaling and visualization:
What makes you feel confident and successful?
What are your unique strengths and qualities?
What does your dream job or life look like? Describe it in detail.
What are your goals for the coming year?
How can you embrace boldness and courage in your life?
6. Release and Let Go
Once you’ve set your intentions, let them go. Trust that the universe is working on your behalf and release any attachment to specific outcomes. Focus on positive affirmations and avoid negative self-talk, as what you speak into existence will manifest.
7. Avoid Negativity
This one is a HUGE step. I'm never someone to promote toxic positivity however, I firmly believe in the Hebrew saying "ebrah k'dabri" or "I create as I speak." Many believe this is where the phrase "abra kadabra" came from. If our words are power, speaking negatively is harm and speaking positively can bring happiness and abundance. If you do NOTHING else this period of time, please avoid negative talk even if it's something as flippant as "oh man I am unlucky or I'm just broken" etc.
While it’s important to acknowledge and address your shadow side, tonight is not the time to dwell on negativity. Instead, concentrate on the positive aspects of your life and your aspirations. Surround yourself with uplifting energy and stay vigilant about maintaining a positive mindset.
Closing Thoughts
The Lion’s Gate Portal offers a powerful opportunity for transformation and manifestation. By aligning your intentions with this cosmic event, you can harness its energy to create profound changes in your life. Embrace the fiery energy of Leo, stay focused on your dreams, and trust in the process. Remember, success is the intersection of preparation and opportunity. Make the most of this unique moment and let your inner light shine.
Happy Lion’s Gate Portal!
