If you’ve been online this week, you may have seen the date “8/8” and the words “Lion’s Gate” being tossed around. If you have, you may have also found yourself wondering what these phrases actually mean.
The Lion Gate is a cosmic event that occurs every July and August, a time of luck, appearance and energy.
But when is the Lion’s Gate at its strongest? And what does this mean to you? lets take alook…
What is the lion gate?
Leo’s Gate is an astrological portal that opens when Sirius, Earth, and the constellation Orion are in alignment with each other, while the Sun passes through Leo. It got its name, the lion’s gate, from the sign of the lion, which is the star sign represented by the lion.
Due to the energy shift, astrologers see Leo’s Gate as a very lucky day, and many spend the day demonstrating positive things for their future by uttering affirmations.
During the days leading up to the opening of the Gate of Leo, “It is important to bring into meditation all the crystals, herbs, and tools that relate to the energy of the Leo, the Sun, and the star Sirius,” said Narayana Montúfar, chief astrologer at Astrology.com.
When is the lion gate open?
Lion’s Gate opens between July 36 and August 12, but is strongest on August 8.
Double eight (8/8) has a special meaning. Astrologer and cosmologist Bex Milford told Metro, “8/8 is also important in numerology because the number 8 is a symbol of infinity that veers sideways and is associated with luck and good fortune.”
Meanwhile, psychiatrist Zee to Zen told Glamor that August 8th is a “primary spiritual date” as when “the veil between our world and the spiritual world is incredibly thin.”
