Each year on the 8th of August, we're given a potent opportunity to manifest, thanks to the opening of the Lion's Gate Portal. It's a hugely important astrological phenomenon, which offers a chance to manifest more abundance than you could ever dream of. It is the opening of a galactic gate that delivers high-frequency energy into our beings, allowing us to rebirth our spirit energy and the spirit energy of Mother Earth. This high-frequency energy can be used to open our energy centers, inspire new ideas, raise our consciousness, and enhance our ability to receive psychic downloads.
But what is the Lion’s Gate portal, how does it work, and more important, how can we use this strong energy?
The activation of the portal
The Lion’s Gate Portal opens every year on August 8 when the sun in Leo, the star Sirius, Orion's Belt, and the Earth all line up. The event is often referred to as 8/8 by spiritualists and astrologists, who associate the number with abundance. This is, among other things, because the number 8 on its side looks like the infinity symbol. According to astrologers and numerologists, creates this alignment a powerful portal of energy, which is very powerful for manifesting.
The name “Lion’s Gate portal” comes from the idea that this alignment creates a "portal" for manifestations to take place, with "lion" coming from the sun in Leo. The 'gate' reference is linked to the notion of a cosmic gateway, otherwise known as a stargate, which is a powerful gateway portal of energy.
The Lionsgate Portal is activated by the rising of the star Sirius, which takes place from late July to mid-August. However, the numerology of 8/8, and the Sun reaching the halfway point of 15 degrees in the constellation of Leo at that time (the peak of Leo energy), has made 8 August the day we celebrate the portal.
During the Lion's Gate portal, Sirius separates sufficiently from the sun to come into view. Since Sirius is the brightest star in our night sky, some ancient (and even current) mystics believed it infuses the Earth with extra energy and light.
Because Sirius is considered our Spiritual Sun, the rising and returning of Sirius was seen by ancient astrologers as the rebirth of our spiritual energy and the spiritual energy of the planet. The rising of Sirius also corresponded with the rainy season and the flooding of the Nile, further supporting this idea of rebirth through the nourishing rain. Some cultures also used the rising of Sirius to signify the start of the new year.
Ancient Egyptians worshipped Sirius as the goddess named Sopdet, celebrating Sirius' return in the morning sky as the start of the farming season and the beginning of a new year. Healers and teachers in certain new age communities believe the energy coming from Sirius contains special elevating or activating energy that can help the Earth and her people evolve.
More about Sirius on the spiritual level
Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the sky and is known as our Spiritual Sun. While our earthly Sun illuminates our physical world, which is an illusion, our Spiritual Sun illuminates the truth of our timeless soul. The ancients were very in tune with the star Sirus, as they believed it was the gateway to heaven and the home of higher vibrational beings. They believed the energy of Sirius carried highly advanced wisdom that we could tap into and utilize whenever Sirius was strong in the sky.
While our Sun is responsible for beaming down life for our physical bodies, Sirius is responsible for beaming down life for our spiritual bodies. Therefore the opening of the Lionsgate Portal can bring awakenings and lift our consciousness to new heights. In modern astrology, Sirius is associated with freedom and advanced technology.
The meaning of number 8 in Numerology
8/8 in numerology represents infinity and DNA activation, allowing us to take this Sirius energy and infuse into the very core of our being. We can also unlock and upgrade the memory of our cells allowing us to bring more healing, peace, and love into our being.
Think of the “Hidden Messages in Water” by Dr. Emoto, which captured the shape of water crystals based on the vibration of their surroundings. Our body is mostly water, and millions of those water crystals live within us. We can use this Lionsgate Portal energy to ensure our crystals are vibrating harmoniously and are whole and complete in their structure. The number 8 also represents infinity – the infinite soul that we are and the infinite journey that we take. It acts as a bridge between the material and spiritual realms. It's also the number of power, wealth, strength, achievement and goals.
How to make the most of the Lion’s Gate Portal opening
Welcome in this firing energy and allow this energy to do what it needs to do in order for the transformation to take place. Release, open up, and rise above. You will be more of an open vessel if you don't hold on to things but rather let them go and allow them to process and transmute.
1. Tap into your inner Leo
The Lion's Gate portal occurs during Leo season, and specifically, around the peak of Leo season, amplifying the themes of this zodiac sign.
Leo’s tend to be full of primal, creative energy. This is a sign that embodies the fire that lives within us all. Leo's ruler, the sun, teaches us all we need to know about this bright sign: In astrology, the sun symbolizes the fuel, energy, and vital life force that powers all the other planets. The sign of Leo wants to see and be seen, just like the sun that rules it, which is why Leo is associated with visibility, attention, courage, generosity, and creative impulses.
Leo's symbol, the lion, is telling us that lions are the kings of the jungle, known for their fierce courage and natural regality. Lions are powerful animals of great significance. They carry many qualities which can greatly empower and guide us. Lions are strong, powerful and have a commanding, royal presence.
This period is all about attention; the giving and receiving of light and energy, which is important for this zodiac sign.
Besides that, the sign of Leo contains and represents love, generosity, leadership, and creativity. When the sun is in Leo, the entire world benefits from an infusion of these energies. The best way to make the most of the Lion's Gate is to do Leo things and aim to intensify the natural energy of the moment as much as possible. Whether you were born under this sign or not, you can always tap into your inner Leo.
2. Focus on love
During the Lion’s Gate portal, it is an excellent time to focus on love. Love is a key part of Leo, and of the potential of the Lion's Gate. Considered to be an energetic "portal," the Lion's Gate can connect you to the portal in your own heart. So, do things that bring you joy during and just before the Lion's Gate to open and expand your heart.
3. Prepare for massive shifts
According to astrologers, the Lion's Gate portal is also a good time to examine how you're currently exerting your power and consider the type of power you would like to have in the future. This makes it an opportunity to start manifesting what YOU want to call in. Just don't act rashly or focus on short-term gains, as eight represents the number of infinity. Instead, use your energy wisely and trust that rapid growth is in store, preparing for blastoff.
