The Lion’s Gate Portal is an energetic phenomenon occurring once a year on the 8th of August when the Sun is in the Astrological sign Leo.
It’s an annual cosmic alignment where Earth, Sirius, and Orion align within the Leo constellation. This alignment creates a potent energy gateway associated with manifestation, spiritual healing, and transformation. The number eight, associated with the infinity symbol, represents infinite possibilities and abundance. During this auspicious period, the veil between the physical world and the spiritual realm is thinner, making it easier to connect with our higher selves and receive guidance.
It is considered so powerful even the Ancient Egyptians build the pyramids and Great Sphinx so they aligned with the opening of the portal. On the 8th of August each year the great star Sirius perfectly lines up with the Great Pyramid.

What does the lion’s gate portal mean for you?
Think of the 8th of August like a Space New Year! You are being given the opportunity to start again with great abundance. This energy is potent and palpable, enhancing your ability to receive downloads making it the perfect opportunity for manifesting, spiritual upleveling, and raising of consciousness.
It is time to step into the person you want to be.
Today, start putting your internalised thoughts into action. Good fortune is on your side and will ensure that the plans you start now will begin to materialise. I’ve also put together your star sign for the day which you can read here.
How can you make the most of the luckiest day of the year?
This energy allows an opportunity for spiritual expansion and evolvement. Giving you a chance to become a more empowered, better version of yourself.
You can use crystals, tarot, candles, or whatever your heart desires to activate this powerful energy.
Here a ritual I like to do on the 8th August:
On a piece of paper, draw a line down the middle making two columns. You are going to use these columns to set your intentions for harnessing this energy. In the first column write down eight goals. Then in the second column write down eight actionable steps to achieve those goals.

Once you’ve done that, sit in a quiet, comfortable position, set your timer for 8 minutes then close your eyes, place your hands over your heart, and envision your list in your mind’s eye. See your list of goals, and intended steps reflected out into the universe. Now slowly breathe in for 8 counts, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and then exhale out for eight counts, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Continue breathing in and out in this pattern for the full 8 minutes, allowing all thoughts and sensations to just flow with ease.
The power of 8! The Lion’s Gate is a profound and powerful source of spiritual light available to you during this time. Breathe it in all throughout the day, and drink plenty of fluids to keep you nourished during this cosmic download.
To do list for the Lion’s Gate portal
It may be the luckiest day of the year but it still means you need to support that energy to help you. Take your time with all messages you receive today and I don’t just mean spiritual messages, I mean conversations you have with people or paragraphs you take note of or spotting signs. They are meant for you.
5 practices for the Lion’s Gate Portal on 8th August
- Write down your intentions in your favourite notebook. Be very specific about what you want to manifest and super clear on your goals and how you’ll attain them.
- Pause. Take a moment during the day to just stop and think. If you like meditating, it’s a powerful day to take time for that but just pause in the quiet and reflect on where are you at now.
- Create a vision board. This is a great way to bring those intentions to life and truly visualise what you want. Use images, words, and symbols that represent your goals and dreams. Place this vision board where you can see it daily to keep your intentions front and centre.
- Practice gratitude. Write down at least 3-5 things in your life that make you extremely happy. Perhaps it’s things you love doing or people you love being around or a list of things your grateful for; your health, your home, your friends, your family. Show appreciation for all you have and all you are right now.
- Keep your eyes and ears open. You may hear ringing in your ears today as you receive new light codes and messaging from the universe. You may see more angel numbers than usual especially with the number 8. Be aware of your surroundings and energy today.
Remember the energy of the lion is with you – be fierce in what you want, let us hear you ROAR!
