Aligned and Ascending... A Love Letter for Lion’s Gate 8/8

Hello, Beloved.

The portal is opening... can you feel it?

Lion’s Gate is upon us, and with it comes the golden, sacred pulse of 8/8, an invitation to remember who you truly are. This is no ordinary day - it is a threshold, a divine heartbeat between what has been and what is becoming. The radiant Sirius star aligns with the Sun in Leo, and the cosmos speaks in the language of light and infinite possibility.

You, my love, are being called into the fire of your becoming.

And as if the universe wished to make this moment even more profound, the Full Moon rises just hours later... in the early hours of August 9, at 12:55am Pacific. This moon - glowing in visionary Aquarius - is not here to coddle... she’s here to awaken. She lights the sky not only to illuminate but to liberate.

So let us meet this moment together, hearts bare and spirits bright.

Our Mantra for the Days Ahead

“I align with infinite abundance, awakening my soul’s truth and radiant purpose.”

Say it softly into your palm.

Whisper it into your morning tea.

Sing it to the wind. Let it infuse you.

Journal Reflections for Your Sacred Unfolding

1. What dream is rising in me now, ready to be claimed beneath this Lion’s Gate sky?

2. What am I prepared to lovingly release into the moonlight... to make space for the life I was born to live?

3. How might I be more of myself - wild, soft, sovereign, and seen?

Rituals to Hold You

Choose one... or let your soul lead you into both.

1. The Fire and Flow Ceremony At sunset on 8/8, light a gold candle and write down the fears that have kept your wings tucked in too tightly. Speak to them kindly, then release them into the flame. As they burn, whisper your new truth. When the ashes are cool, offer them to water - a bowl, a river, your garden - and let the earth transmute your prayer.

2. The Solar-Lunar Blessing Place citrine or clear quartz in the sun on Lion’s Gate morning. Let them drink in the solar fire of Leo. That night, under the full moon, lay them out again beneath the stars. This is the marriage of courage and clarity, fire and water, solar power and lunar wisdom. Sit with your stones, hand to heart, and speak your intention out loud. Feel it echo in your bones.

A Final Blessing, From My Heart to Yours

Lion’s Gate is a remembrance.

It is about rising into all that you already are.

This is your moment to walk in beauty, beloved. To speak your truth like poetry, to love like your heart has never been broken, to rise like you have never known fear. And as the Moon shines her wild light into the deep wells of your being, trust this...

You are not alone.

You are infinitely guided.

You are already aligned.

With all the light in me mirroring all the light in you, I bow to your becoming.

Always in your corner, always in your fire,

ps. If you feel called to anchor this energy with crystal companions, here are a few sacred allies to choose from. Let your heart pick the one that whispers to you...

• Sunstone for radiant confidence and bold self-leadership

• Labradorite for mystical insight and divine protection

• Lapis Lazuli for truth-speaking and deep inner knowing

• Rhodonite for heart-healing and gentle release

• Selenite for energetic cleansing and divine remembrance

You do not need them all, beloved... one is enough. Trust your intuition, she knows the way. Let the stone you choose become an altar to your becoming, a vessel for your prayers, a mirror of your light.
