What is the Lions Gate Portal?
The Lions Gate Portal is an annual cosmic event occurring around August 8th
- Powerful cosmic energies align, creating a 'portal' for manifestation and personal growth.
- The star Sirius, Earth, and the Sun align with the Leo constellation, symbolizing a gateway to higher consciousness.
- Many people feel more connected to their intuition and creative potential.
- It's a time to feel into yourself and your Leo energy, so play and be SHINY.
The energy of this year's Lions Gate Portal is considered incredibly potent because 2024 is an "8" year in numerology (2+0+2+4=8). The number 8 is associated with abundance, power, and infinite potential, aligning perfectly with the Portal's manifestation and personal growth themes. This unique alignment of the yearly energy with the Portal's date (8/8) is an opportunity for compelling transformations and new beginnings.
