Embracing The Power Of The Lion's Gate Portal: 8/8/2024
Dear Soul Family,
The Lion's Gate Portal, 8/8/2024 is a time of heightened energy, and profound transformation. As such, it is a time when many will experience massive inner growth as they surrender to the energies or experience a spontaneous spiritual awakening. Those of us on The Path already know the importance of embracing The Lion;s Gate with integrity from the heart and focused on the present moment as we set our intentions.
Remember, The Lion’s Gate Portal Is Guarded By 2 Lion’s Aptly Named Yesterday and Tomorrow.
They are a reminder for us to stay focused on the present, to not be consumed by the past or the future when setting our intentions.
(think Atreyu in The never Ending Story when he was approaching the Southern Oracle he needed to be strong and brave, focused on his goal and his heart, he is told to be confident just as we need to be when approaching the Lion’s Gate)
The Lion's Gate Portal, which happens annually, is a powerful alignment of the Earth, The Star Sirius, and the Sun in the astrological sign of Leo. This cosmic alignment creates an energetic gateway that enhances spiritual growth, awakening, and ascension. The number 8 itself symbolizes infinity and the eternal nature of the soul, making August 8th (8/8) a day of amplified spiritual energy. This year being 2024 makes this Lion’s Gate Portal the year to embrace fully the 888 Energies surrounding it (abundance, prosperity, and financial success)
The Lion's Gate Portal is a time to connect with higher realms and receive divine guidance. The energies are conducive to deep meditation, intuitive insights, and spiritual downloads.
The Lion’s Gate Portal also amplifies our intentions and manifestations. It is an opportune moment to focus on what you want in your life and align your actions with your highest self.
With the Sun in Leo, the energies of this portal emphasize the heart chakra. It encourages us to live authentically, embrace our true passions, and express our inner light with courage and love.
