On 8th day of the 8th month every year, we honour Lion’s Gate 888, a celebration of the Cosmic Lion – also known as the Cosmic Heart.
The Lion’s Gate falls when the Sun is in Leo. Leo is the sign of the Lion, the astrological ruler of the heart and animal totem sacred to many cultures and associated with numerous facets of the divine feminine include Durga, goddess of Light, and Ishtar, goddess of Ancient Babylon (known as Inanna in Ancient Sumer).
The rising of Sirius amplifies the Lion’s Gate portal, which is essentially a cosmic transmission of Love. Although the specific date of Sirius’ rising varies considerably depending on different attitudes and locations, the presence of Sirius is the inner spiritual heart of what transpires during the Lion’s Gate. As a star it was celebrated as a positive sign of creative talent, spiritual enlightenment, wealth, honour and love.
We can communally celebrate the opening of the Lion’s Gate officially on the eighth day of the eighth month. The 8 frequency relates to the sign of Leo, the connection between spiritual and earthly energies (the midpoint of which is the fourth chakra or the heart chakra which is also ruled by Leo) and 8 is considered a number sacred with divine feminine energies of abundance and prosperity, success and fame, leadership and love, all resulting in the alignment of heaven and earth. The eight-pointed star of Ishtar, also associated with Lakshmi and the Goddess Tara, represents the turning of a stellar key, the flow of celestial blessing into the world. Amplified by spiritual energies of Sirius, the numerical frequency of the spiritual portal or doorway that opens on 8th August becomes 888.
The 888 frequency brings us closer to the spiritual dimensions within us and all around us with an amplification of light and an outpouring of positive blessing for humanity. It is believed that many, if not all, of the cosmic avatars that come to earth as advanced spiritual guides for humanity herald from Sirius and make their presence and blessing increasingly available to humanity during this opening between the worlds.
Lion’s Gate is a time to set intention and receptivity to stellar gateways, especially that of Sirius, with the intention to receive and fill yourself up with so much divine goodness and grace that it overflows from your heart into the world around you to benefit all. ❤️
