Each year, there is one cosmic moment that feels like the universe opens its heart to us — pouring divine light, wisdom, and the purest power of possibility. That moment is the 8.8 Lions Gate Portal — and it’s not just a date, it’s a divine invitation.
And today, I’m not sharing this as a teacher or guide, but as someone who has personally experienced the life-altering power of this portal — and watched thousands of my viewers and students manifest profound shifts through it.
If you’re ready to rise…
If you’ve felt stuck, dimmed, or small for too long…
Then this article is for you. Let’s walk through the gates together.
🦁 What Is the 8.8 Lions Gate Portal?
The Lions Gate Portal is activated when three celestial forces align:
- The Sun in Leo (your courage and confidence),
- The rising of Sirius, the brightest star in the sky (your soul purpose), and
- The alignment with Orion’s Belt (cosmic intelligence).
This alignment creates a high-frequency surge of energy, like a spiritual Wi-Fi connection between you and the universe.
Why Is It Called the Lion’s Gate Portal?
The name Lion’s Gate comes from the fact that this portal occurs during Leo season (July 23 – August 22). Leo is ruled by the Sun, symbolizing personal power, courage, radiance, and heart-centered action.
- Leo represents leadership, creativity, and divine expression.
- The lion is the spiritual totem of strength, royalty, and fearlessness.
Thus, the portal becomes a gate of transformation, powered by the lion’s fearless energy, encouraging us to step into our power and lead our life from the heart.
This gateway peaks on 8/8, but the energies are available between July 26th to August 12th, with the most potent power falling between August 6th–9th.

🔢 What’s the Numerological Meaning Behind the Lions Gate Portal?
The number 8 in numerology is sacred. When turned sideways, it resembles the infinity symbol (∞)—a reminder of the eternal nature of the soul, boundless abundance, and the divine balance of giving and receiving.
On 8/8, this energy doubles.
- 8 = Abundance, Power, Karmic Cycles, Infinity
- 8/8 = Divine Portal between the material and spiritual planes
It’s a perfect time to set intentions, release limitations, and affirm your divine right to thrive.
✨ Astrological Significance
The Sun is in Leo during this time — the sign of courage, heart-centered leadership, and creative expression.
So if you’ve been hiding, second-guessing, or shrinking yourself to fit others’ expectations…
This is your call to ROAR.
Leo says:
“Own your space. Be seen. Lead with love.”
It’s not about arrogance. It’s about unapologetic authenticity. The universe isn’t asking you to be perfect — just present and open.
How Does the Lions Gate Portal Impact Us?
When the Lions Gate Portal opens, the veil between dimensions becomes thinner. This allows:
- Messages from your Higher Self, angels, and spirit team to come through clearly.
- Intuitive downloads, lucid dreams, and inner revelations.
- Amplified ability to manifest your desires.
- A surge in healing, self-reflection, and soul clarity.
However, staying present is key. When we’re lost in the busyness of daily life, we might miss these signs. Set aside time to slow down, reflect, and receive.
Which Ancient Society Inspired Modern Lion’s Gate Practices?
While the Lion’s Gate Portal is a relatively modern spiritual observation, its roots lie in ancient Egyptian traditions.
The heliacal rising of Sirius marked the beginning of the Nile’s flooding, bringing fertility, prosperity, and life to the land. The Egyptians aligned their New Year celebrations with this celestial event.
Temples such as those in Giza and Dendera were designed to align with the rising of Sirius. The star was also associated with Isis, the divine goddess of healing, magic, and rebirth.
Other cultures like the Dogon of Mali, the Sumerians, and the Maya also regarded Sirius as a sacred star of guidance, hidden knowledge, and otherworldly communication.
🌌 My Favourite Way to Work with the Lions Gate Energy
In 2024, I posted a video on this portal, and the impact was incredible. I saw:
- Blocked writers finish books
- Clients manifest dream homes
- Healers step into new soul careers
- And many find clarity after years of confusion
This year, I’m taking it deeper. And I invite you to join me.
Here are the practices I personally use during this portal:
🔮 1. Soul-Aligned Manifestation Rituals
This is the time to declare your dreams with clarity, not confusion.
Tools you can use:
- Vision Board: I always create mine during this time. Add images, symbols, affirmations — but do it with full energy, not in a rush.
✨ Join my Personalized Vision Board Course if you need step-by-step guidance. - Scripting: Write as if your life has already changed. “I am so grateful for…” is a powerful start.
- 55×5 Method: Write your desire 55 times for 5 days. It’s repetitive, but magical — the repetition imprints the subconscious.
- Affirmations: Repeat empowering affirmations like:
“I am open to divine abundance.”
” I manifest with clarity and ease.”
2. Portal Meditation (Do This for 17 Minutes)
Sit in silence. Light a candle. Breathe deeply.
- Visualize golden and blue light flowing from Sirius to your crown
- Let it cleanse your aura and recharge your power
- See your manifestations as already done
I recommend doing this just after sunrise or during twilight.
3. Crystals to Amplify the Portal
If you know me, you know how much I love working with crystals. Here are my top Lions Gate allies:
- Clear Quartz: Master amplifier. Program it with your intention and meditate with it daily.
- Larimar: For connecting with higher guidance. Calms the chaos of big shifts.
- Citrine: Manifestation + confidence + clarity.
- Lapis Lazuli: Activates truth and intuition.
- Rose Quartz: Keep your heart open during transformation.
💡Note: Cleanse these often during this period, especially Clear Quartz — it absorbs fast.
4. Journaling Prompts to Realign with Your Power
Here are some prompts I use myself and give to my community:
- What would I do if I knew I couldn’t fail?
- Where am I still hiding my light?
- What belief am I ready to release forever?
- What does my most abundant, free, and aligned life feel like?
Journaling is the bridge between inner knowing and outer action. Make it sacred.
5. Add 8 New Energies & Subtract 8 Old Ones
This is a beautiful energetic and physical shift practice. Choose:
- 8 things to subtract from your home that carry stagnant energy — old furniture, unused utensils, broken items, worn-out clothes, expired products. Let go with gratitude.
- 8 things to bring in that symbolize renewal — a new plant, a fresh bedsheet, an inspiring book, a rose quartz crystal, an artwork, a gratitude journal, a spiritual tool, or even a bowl of fruits. These new items are your anchors of fresh energy.
This exchange will not only refresh your surroundings, but will align your external with your internal growth.
6. Nature, Fire & Ritual
- Spend time near trees or flowing water — nature grounds the powerful Lions Gate frequencies
- Light a candle each night from August 1st–12th and set a mini intention
- Use a sound bath or 963 Hz frequency music to align your energy. Add a few drops of pure rose water to your bath—it helps open your heart and activate the heart chakra. Remember, until your heart is open, you’re not fully ready to receive the abundance meant for you.
7. Soul-Aligned Action
Ask yourself: What is one bold, courageous action I can take this week that aligns with the person I’m becoming? Leo energy is about embodied leadership — don’t just dream it. Do it.
8. Gratitude to the Lion Within
Write a letter to your past self. Thank them for surviving. Write a letter to your future self. Welcome them with love. This anchors your energy into the now — the only place where transformation can truly happen.
Will We Feel the Effects Even If We’re Not Actively Participating?
Yes. Just as a full moon can affect our sleep or emotional states even if we don’t acknowledge it, the Lion’s Gate Portal brings energetic shifts to everyone.
However, the more conscious and intentional you are during this time, the more powerful your results will be. You may feel:
- A pull toward solitude or introspection
- Restlessness or heightened emotions
- Vivid dreams or spiritual downloads
- A desire to change something major in life
Even if you don’t do a full manifestation ritual, simple presence, gratitude, or silence can help you integrate the frequencies.
🌟 Wise Words from My Heart to Yours
If you’ve been asking the universe for a sign…
If you’ve felt that something greater is calling you…
This is it. This is your window.
Don’t let this portal pass like another date on the calendar.
Set your intentions. Speak your truth. Align your energy.
Because the Lions Gate doesn’t just give you permission to dream — it gives you the power to create.
I’ll be working with this energy deeply this year — and I hope you will too.
Remember, abundance is your birthright. Expansion is your destiny. And this portal is your gateway.
