It’s been a big week in the world of Astrology. If you’ve felt an uptick of energy or anxiety recently, you’re not alone!
Last Thursday marked one of the most significant celestial events of the year – the Lion’s Gate portal. This cosmic alignment occurs annually on 8/8, bringing together our Sun, Earth, and Sirius (the brightest star in our night sky), aligning perfectly with Orion’s Belt.
However, thanks to the year 2024, where the digits add up to 8-8-8 (2+2+4), this celestial alignment holds even greater spiritual impact, showering Earth with its intense light.
The star Sirius isn’t just bright – it’s the brightest star in the night sky and holds great historical significance in the records of early astronomy. Ancient civilizations, from Egypt to Greece, gave it profound significance in their cultures and daily lives.
It’s fascinating how the movement of stars and planets deeply influenced our ancestors’ perception of the world and the profound connection between the heavens and Earth. They viewed cosmic events not only as astronomical phenomena but as powerful moments of spiritual significance.
The intense energy that we’ve felt since the end of July has been off the charts. The universe turned up the heat on everything – our emotions, our intuition, and our ability to manifest. The Lion’s Gate isn’t just a single day event, it started on July 28 and ends on August 12. It’s all happening during Leo season (July 23-August 22), and if you know anything about Leos, you know they’re all about self-expression and owning their power.
This Leo energy is at the heart of the Lion’s Gate portal. It encourages us to tap into our inner strength, embrace our authentic selves, and step into our personal power.
Leos are known for their confidence and charisma, but it goes beyond external strength. It’s about cultivating that inner fire, that passion and creativity that makes each of us unique.
This special time of self-discovery and empowerment mirrors themes we see in popular culture. It reminds me of a favorite Disney movie, The Lion King. Like Simba had to leave his kingdom to find his true self, the Lion’s Gate energy encourages us to look within and rediscover our own inner lion (or lioness!).
But it’s not about roaring the loudest or dominating others. It’s about being a peaceful warrior and keeping a cool head. Accepting our past – the good, the bad, and the ugly – as it has shaped who we are today.
As we move forward from this intense period, let’s carry the spirit of the lion within us. Let’s be brave, genuine, and unapologetically ourselves. Because when we align with our true selves, we align with the Universe as our ancestors once did.
