The 8/8 Lion's Gate Portal Is All About Embracing Your Dark & Divine Feminine Power
We’ve reached a powerful time of year when the abundant Lion's Gate Portal magnetizes the collective consciousness, bringing accelerated energy that will launch you toward your destiny. In case you haven’t heard about this annual affair, the Lions Gate Portal is a cosmic event that occurs every year during Leo Season, reaching its peak on August 8 — a powerful day numerologically and astrologically speaking. The Lion’s Gate Portal was observed by Ancient Egyptians as the most magical time of year, marked by the appearance of the brightest star in the night sky — Sirius — over the Eastern horizon. The rising of Sirius coincided with the annual flooding of the River Nile, which ancients believed was an indication that the Earth had reached the galactic center of the universe, bringing heightened wisdom, increased willpower, rebirths, and fast-tracked pathways toward enlightenment.
Embrace your inner power
In numerology, the lucky number 8 signifies financial prosperity, manifestation, ambition, and intense power. Astrologically speaking, the number 8 is connected to karma, rebirth, and mysticism. On the 8th day of the 8th month, you’ll feel a surge of confidence and belief that you can overcome the obstacles between you and your next milestone — whether those obstacles are unprocessed trauma, insecurities, or past life memories that have restricted you to your comfort zone. Luck is on your side during this date, though the portal will still be active until August 12 (which is the exact date that Sirius will rise this year)!
Tap into your dark and divine feminine energy
On August 8, Venus — the planet of love and beauty — will oppose mysterious Pluto in Capricorn, creating a struggle for dominance in your relationships and a massive increase in your assertiveness and desire for material rewards. Consider how your fears influence your ability to connect with people, allow yourself to be vulnerable, and navigate your arising insecurities in healthy ways by opening up to the people you trust. Venus will also receive support from Neptune retrograde in Pisces, bringing dreamy and intuitive energy that will motivate you to visualize your wildest dreams coming to fruition. Black Moon Lilith — a mathematical point along the Moon’s orbit representing dark, divine, and non-traditional feminine energy — will be in a near-exact conjunction with Sirius in Cancer, indicating that the arising presence of a female ancestor will guide you to new heights. Embrace your natural emotional instincts, express yourself freely, and believe in your inner power and magic.
