8/8 Lion’s Gate Horoscopes + Ritual Magick for Every Sign
By Mary D’Alba
“There is a portal opening — and on the other side is the version of you that no longer dims your light.”
The Lion’s Gate Portal peaks on August 8 (8/8) every year, but the energy builds from July 28 to August 12. This is no ordinary astrological moment — it’s a cosmic activation window, blending Leo’s solar fire with the mystical frequency of the star Sirius, Earth’s “spiritual sun.”
If the Lion’s Gate Portal 8/8 – A Cosmic Call to Manifest with Courage blog introduced you to the magic of the Lion’s Gate Portal...This is your advanced energetic guide — including sign-by-sign horoscopes and ritual magick instructions to harness it fully.
Lion’s Gate in a Nutshell (Quick Refresher)
8/8 = Numerological power code (double infinity, soul alignment, infinite possibility)
Leo energy = Confidence, heart healing, creation, leadership
Sirius rising = Spiritual insight, soul upgrades, ancestral connection
Together, they form a portal for:
Releasing karmic patterns
Activating heart-centered desires
Accelerating your spiritual evolution
Wait — What About the Retrogrades?
Yes, we’re swimming through retrogrades right now (Mercury, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, Chiron) — but that doesn’t mean you can’t manifest.
It means:
🌱 Slow, steady intention.
💫 Refined vision over rushed outcomes.
🔥 Magick that is honest, not performative.
This portal is a time to channel — not control.
