The Lion’s Gate Portal reaches its peak on Aug. 8 and is often believed to be one of the best times for manifesting. Peruse astrologer Lisa Stardust’s exclusive readings to find out what it holds in store for you.
The Lion’s Gate Portal opens on Aug. 8 and brings with it a pristine opportunity for manifestation. Intentions set now receive a cosmic, celestial boost from the planets, helping them excel. With the help of the bright star Sirius and the Leo sun, our dreams are a wish away. The portal window occurs from July 28 to Aug. 12; however, Aug. 8 is the day when the energy creates a perfect alignment between the sun, Earth and Sirius. Ancient Egyptians believed that this brought on prophecies and visions which could help them live prosperously and abundantly.
8/8 holds meaning, and it is an amazing time to cultivate our aspirations.The number eight represents a force that can harness our hopes with immense strength. 8/8, which becomes 88 or two 8s, is the extreme version of the number’s significance. Further, when we invert 8 on its side, it represents infinity, and two 8s denote two infinity signs, showing that the vibe is infinite.
Fernando Salinas, tarot reader and author of The Joy of Tarot, says, “The Lion’s Gate portal is enchanting because of the convergence of the number eight, which in tarot symbolizes movement.” Salinas continues, “In the eight of cups and wands, you’re either moving away from something or something is swiftly approaching you; in the eight of pentacles and swords, you are not moving, either because you are seemingly trapped or because you’ve decided to lock in and do the work.”
Salinas adds, “The Lion’s Gate allows us to move in our lives, too, to make the decision to either use our energy to strive towards some success or to move towards a better situation. Allow yourself to sashay through this portal and see what magic might happen!”
Astrologically, the day offers a lot of mixed energies: the Sun in Leo and Moon in Gemini aspect each other; however, they expand the aura of each sign, meaning we might find that gossip clouds our thoughts, and our egos make us take a bold stand. Don’t be too proud that it clouds judgment or leads to boastfulness before situations unfold. Stay grounded!
