Harnessing the Lion’s Gate Portal
As the cosmic gateway of the Lion’s Gate Portal opens from July 28th to August 12th, culminating on the auspicious 8th of August, we are presented with a unique opportunity to start on a transformative journey. This celestial event, rooted in ancient Egyptian history and spirituality, offers an abundance of astrological, crystal and herbal wisdom, to guide us in harnessing the powerful energies that lie within.
It holds a deep astrological significance, as it coincides with a powerful cosmic alignment that occurs during Leo season. This alignment involves Earth, the star Sirius, Orion's Belt and the constellation of Leo, creating a potent energy gateway associated with manifestation, spiritual healing and transformation.
As the portal reaches its peak on August 8th (8/8), astrologers and numerologists consider it an auspicious time to voice desires, claim wants and heal past wounds. This date is also known as the "galactic new year" and can serve as a powerful catalyst for setting resolutions and goals.
During the Lionsgate Portal, the Sun in Leo aligns with Sirius, Orion's Belt, and Earth, marking the moment when Sirius becomes visible again in the night sky, a moment of rebirth and spiritual awakening. This celestial event is believed to infuse new levels of consciousness into our planet and ourselves.
To honour this sacred time, you can incorporate various rituals and ceremonies involving astrology, crystals and herbs, that connect us to divine wisdom flowing from celestial realms. Here are some practices to enrich your journey through this year’s Lion’s Gate Portal:
1. Meditation with Crystals
Crystals such as citrine, pyrite and clear quartz can amplify your intentions and align them with the powerful energies of the Lion’s Gate Portal. Hold these crystals during meditation, visualising your desires and goals manifesting into reality.
2. Astrological Reflection
Reflect on your personal astrological chart and the current cosmic alignments to gain insight into the unique energies influencing your life during this time.
3. Chakra Balancing
Practice our chakra herbal meditation, crafted for the Barefoot Roadmap course. Focus on the seven primary chakras from your Root to your Crown, using visualisation and breathwork to align and balance these energy centres. Incorporate the energy of the Lion’s Gate Portal into your practice, allowing it to amplify your intentions and support your transformation.
4. Herbal Rituals
Mugwort, sunflower and marigold can be used in rituals to enhance your connection to higher realms and honour the energies of Leo and Sirius. Create a sacred space with these herbs, offering your intentions to the universe and inviting divine wisdom to guide you.
As the Lion’s Gate Portal invites us to explore the depths of our spiritual potential, let us embrace the celestial wisdom that illuminates our path. By incorporating astrology, crystals and herbs into our practices, we can create a powerful synergy of intention and energy, fostering abundance, transformation and personal growth.
Let us tread this sacred path with an open heart and a curious spirit, welcoming the boundless possibilities that await us as we journey through the Lion’s Gate Portal. Together, we shall navigate the cosmos, anchored by the ancient wisdom that unites us all.
