The Lions Gate Portal: A Time to Release, Reset, and Create

Every year on August 8th, the Lions Gate Portal peaks — a time when the Earth, the bright star Sirius, and the Sun in Leo align. In astrology, this is believed to open an “energetic doorway” for clarity, reflection, and change.

Even if you’re not into astrology, think of it as a seasonal checkpoint — a moment to slow down, notice what’s working in your life, and decide what you’re ready to release or welcome in.

The date 8/8 is also special in numerology, linked to abundance, strength, and balance. Combined with Leo season’s bold energy, it’s a reminder to move forward with confidence and heart.

You don’t need rituals or special tools to connect with this energy. Just take a little time to breathe, reflect, and ask yourself:

• What’s no longer serving me?
• What do I want to create next?

When you ask yourself that last question, give yourself permission to dream without limits. Maybe it’s a project you’ve been holding back on. A relationship you want to deepen. A habit that supports your health. Or simply more moments in your day that feel like you.

Let this 8/8 be the start of something intentional — a season where you choose what to grow, and plant the seeds now for the life you want to see unfold.
