One of my absolute freaking favorite days of the year for ritual, heart-healing and transformation.
8/8 LIONSGATE
What it is:
Every year on and around the 8th day of the 8th month of the year, there is a cosmic alignment called “the Lions Gateway”. The Lions Gate is a time of increased cosmic energy flowing between the physical and spiritual realms.
The Lions Gate has ties to ancient Egypt and for thousands of years has been observed and honored as a time of a great energetic influx and activation.
This gateway is marked by an alignment between the Earth and the star Sirius. As Sirius rises in the sky, Orion's Belt directly aligns with the Pyramid of Giza, and from our perspective on Earth, it appears that Sirius (the brightest star we can see) comes closer to the Earth. August 8th marks a huge astrological event.
Why is it important for you:
This day is no joke, hunny bunnies.
This gateway creates an incredible period of accelerated ascension… and, this year, it's supercharged… the days leading up to and after 8/8 bring an astronomical and esoteric portal for deep heart healing and transformation into higher levels of consciousness.
The Leo energy that we're all experiencing at this time (regardless of your personal zodiac sign) is also associated with royalty, and so this alignment can be seen as awakening the royal codes of higher living which are available for all. Sounds pretty juicy, right?
A bit about Sirius: Sirius is a fixed star that we can see with our naked eye because it’s the brightest one. Sirius is twice the size of our Sun and 26x brighter! Named “the Spiritual Sun”, it is said to be a source of spiritual light on the planes bringing nourishment, abundance and fertility. Yum!
Heart Healing & Activation of Light Codes
It's called the Lions Gate, or Lions Gateway because it occurs in the astrological sign of Leo. And as we know, Leo is associated with the heart center and represents the individualized expression of the Divine. The Leo energy is the perfect stage to anchor the ascension codes and energies of higher love consciousness broadcast through the star Sirius.
When this cosmic alignment happens, there is an intense surge of light that is said to awaken DNA, activate the human energy field, and transmit high vibrational frequencies and codes of awakening.
The Lions Gateway energy is all about more fully awakening to the radiance of your holy and Divine Light.
Just as I always teach in astrology everything is energy. Everything has a vibration. This has a POWERFUL and MAGNETIC one!
YOU ARE RISING UP LIKE THE LION!
