Hey goddess,
Have you been feeling the energy in the air? Like something big is coming? That buzzing, intuitive pull that says you're about to level up?
That’s the Lion’s Gate Portal. And yes... it’s as magical as it sounds.
This is one of the most powerful energetic portals of the year. If you’ve been wanting to manifest something big, shift your frequency, or call in a completely new reality, this is your moment. Let's break it all down so you know exactly what it is, when it happens, what it means, and how to tap in.
Because when this kind of energy rolls in? We don’t just sit around. We work with it.
So, what is the Lion’s Gate Portal?
The Lion’s Gate Portal is a cosmic alignment that opens every year when the bright star Sirius rises in the sky and aligns with Orion’s Belt, the Sun in Leo, and Earth.
It’s called the Lion’s Gate because it happens while the Sun is in Leo — the sign of courage, heart, creation, and expression. Leo energy is bold. It’s creative. It doesn’t shrink. It shines.
Add that to the rising of Sirius, also called our spiritual sun, and you’ve got next-level frequencies flowing in. It’s like a direct download of divine energy straight to your heart and soul.
When does the Lion’s Gate Portal happen?
The portal opens around July 26th and stays open through August 12th.
But the peak is on August 8th — the 8/8 portal. This is when everything aligns perfectly and the energy is the most potent.
The number 8 is all about abundance, infinity, expansion, and soul power. So 8/8 becomes this amplified moment where manifestation, healing, and upgrades come in fast.
Why is the energy so strong?
Because you’ve got all this cosmic power layering on top of each other:
The rising of Sirius — bringing higher consciousness, spiritual downloads, and light codes for soul growth
The Sun in Leo — activating your confidence, your heart chakra, and your personal power
Numerology of 8/8— representing abundance, infinite potential, and new timelines
Your readiness — if you’re feeling this shift, it means your soul is already in tune
This portal is basically an energetic amplifier. Whatever you're putting out, whatever you’re aligning with, will get boosted in a major way.
How this portal might affect you
You might feel:
* More sensitive or emotional (totally normal)
* Deep inner clarity or intuitive hits
* A craving to clean, clear, and release what’s no longer aligned
* The urge to journal, meditate, visualize, or dream bigger
* Like you're outgrowing old timelines or people
It’s all part of the energetic upgrade. Let it move through you and trust the process.
How to work with the Lion’s Gate Portal
This energy doesn’t require anything fancy, but it does respond to intention, ritual, and alignment. Here are some of my favorite ways to connect:
1. Scripting
Write your life as if it’s already happening. Grab a pen and journal and write from your future self. Get detailed. Get bold. Don’t hold back. The portal loves clarity and confidence.
Example:
“I just hit my biggest month ever. I’m in flow. I’m lit up. Everything I need shows up easily.”
2. Light your ritual candle
Use a white or gold chime candle, light it with intention, and speak what you're calling in out loud. Let the fire hold the frequency while you do the work.
You can find these in my Moon Ritual Kit
3. Sound healing
Use your sound bowls or listen to mine when I post them. The vibrations help clear stagnant energy and raise your frequency so you’re aligned with the portal’s codes. I like to pair this with humming and breathwork too.
4. Cleanse your space
Sage, palo santo, incense, spiritual bath — whatever speaks to you. Clear your energy field and your space so you're open and receptive.
My Smudge Cleanse Ritual Kit is perfect for this.
5. Stargazing and receiving
Lie under the stars on the night of 8/8. Breathe. Be still. Ask your spirit team for messages, signs, or clarity. Let it come to you.
What to manifest during Lion’s Gate
This is the time to go big. Here’s what this energy loves to support:
* Financial freedom and overflow
* Soulmate-level love or divine union
* Magnetic self-confidence and creative breakthroughs
* Spiritual awakenings and third eye activations
* Business growth and dream clients
* A whole new self-concept
Whatever you're ready to embody, this energy will support it.
Final thoughts
The Lion’s Gate Portal is not something you have to “earn” or do perfectly. It’s a natural moment of alignment and energetic support. All you need to do is show up with intention and an open heart.
You are the portal. You are the magic. You are the vibration that shifts everything. ✨
So light your candle, pull out your journal, play your bowls, and say yes to the version of you who is ready to receive more. The universe is already responding.
You’ve got this.
And I’ve got ritual kits to help you anchor it in.
