The Lion's Gate Portal
The Lion’s Gate Portal:
Every year, around August 8th (8/8), the Lion’s Gate Portal opens.

This portal aligns the Earth, the star Sirius, and the Sun in the constellation of Leo, igniting a vortex of cosmic energy that’s impossible to ignore.

The number 8 itself is a symbol of abundance, infinity, and balance. Paired with Leo’s bold, roaring energy, the Lion’s Gate gives us a rare opportunity to ignite our inner fire, step into our courage, and manifest our highest dreams with unstoppable confidence.
