What’s really going on with the Lion’s Gate Portal? 🦁💫
You’ve probably seen the date 8/8 (August 8) everywhere this week — and heard it’s the “peak of a powerful energetic gateway.” Even from me!
Every year on 8/8, the Lion’s Gate Portal is said to open as the Sun aligns with Sirius — one of the brightest stars in the sky — and Orion’s Belt rises over the pyramids of Egypt.
But what’s actually happening in the stars?
→ Sirius isn’t in Orion’s Belt (they’re close, but distinct).
→ Astronomically, Sirius aligns with the Sun in early July — not August.
So where does 8/8 come from?
It’s symbolic:
🦁 Leo Season + the spiritual meaning of the number 8 (abundance, infinity, cycles) = a potent energetic portal.
Each year around this time, Sirius rises just before dawn — a heliacal rising — and is said to align with Orion’s Belt and the Sun in Leo. This timing shifts slightly each year and depends on where you are in the world. Still, early August holds powerful energetic symbolism.
In ancient Egypt, this rising coincided with the flooding of the Nile — a time of rebirth, nourishment, and divine abundance. Today, many tune into it as a time to remember their cosmic origin, activate soul-level codes, and reconnect with purpose.
✨ And this year brings a bonus:
We have a Full Moon in Aquarius the very next day — August 9 AEST / August 8 elsewhere — adding another layer to the portal energy.
Aquarius invites us to zoom out, witness the collective, and alchemise emotion into vision. It asks:
— Am I walking the path of my true self?
— What outdated emotional patterns am I ready to release?
— How can I express my unique frequency to serve the greater whole?
🌟 I’ll be guiding a Lion’s Gate Meditation Journey to help you anchor these energies.
Think: cosmic connection, soul codes, activation, and integration.

✨ BONUS: DM me “LION” and I’ll send you my post-journey journal prompts + affirmations for deeper integration.
