The 8/8 Lions Gate portal is a rare cosmic event that opens a powerful energetic gateway for transformation, spiritual ascension, and true alignment of your mind, body and soul. Astrologically, this brings alignment of the Earth, the Sun in Leo, and the star Sirius, something highly revered for thousands of years through the spirit of our ancestors that live on within.
Why is Kundalini this Lions Gate Portal Special?
The Lions Gate portal is an astrological alignment that occurs every year around August 8th, but begins on July 28th and ceases on August 12th. It happens when the Earth, the star Sirius, and the Sun align with the constellation Leo, symbolised by the fiery, courageous energy of the lion. This alignment creates a high-frequency energetic portal that opens a gateway between the physical and spiritual worlds; making the perfect time for:
Challenging outdated beliefs
Shadow work to release old points of views
Vulnerability to cleanse and clear stagnant emotions or repressed energy
Time to sit with your truth, and find clarity
Creating new inner visions for your desired future
Can you feel its energy starting to burn down the illusions of life that are no longer aligned? That is the energy of this fiery lion's gate portal, aligned with the year of the fire horse...
The number 8 is significant in numerology, representing:
Infinity
Balance
Power
Leadership
Material manifestations
This portal acts like a cosmic amplifier, boosting your intentions, activating your innate power to manifest the life you crave. When doubled on 8/8, this energy intensifies, creating a potent time for manifestation, spiritual growth, and true transformation - so it's a great time to get clear on what you truly want.
Time to work with the shadow...
Why Shadow Work Is Essential During the Lions Gate Portal
Shadow work involves exploring the hidden parts of yourself - those thoughts, emotions, and patterns you usually avoid or suppress. These shadows often block your growth and keep you stuck in limiting beliefs.
The Lions Gate portal energy supports bringing these shadows to light. It helps you face your fears and unresolved issues with courage and compassion. Doing shadow work during this time can lead to:
Greater self-awareness
Emotional healing
Release of old patterns
Increased clarity about your life path
By clearing these blocks, you create space for your kundalini energy to rise freely, sparking spiritual awakening and inner wisdom.
Preparing for the Portal: A Ritual for Shadow Work and Clearing
To make the most of the Lions Gate portal, it’s helpful to prepare in the days leading up to 8/8. Here is a simple yet powerful ritual you can follow to clear your energy and connect with your inner self:
1. Create a Sacred Space
Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Cleanse the space with sage, palo santo, or your preferred method to remove stagnant energy. If you can, try to do this directly after showering, and put on fresh clothing, ideally white. Light a white candle to symbolise purification if possible.
2. Set Your Intention
Write down what you want to release on paper, with the title above it being:
"This year I choose to set myself free from all of the conscious and unconscious pain, beliefs, stuckness, conditioning, programming, psychic attack, entities, contracts, karma, and congestion of thoughts, feelings and emotions that no longer serve me through all layers of my being - mind, body, emotions, spiritual, energetic, and physical, in this lifetime and all lifetimes, in this dimension and all dimensions. I acknowledge that they have served their purpose, and now, I choose to release them to create space for what I truly desire in my heart and soul, including but not limited to: "
Write your list now. Be specific and honest. For example:
I release fear of failure
I release judgement of self and others.
I release the fear of responsibility for others and myself.
I release outdated ideas I hold around receiving money.
I release the belief that I am broken or not enough
3. Shadow Journaling
Spend 15-20 minutes writing about any recurring negative thoughts, fears, or emotions. Ask yourself:
What am I avoiding?
How is that showing up in my life?
What stories do I tell myself that limit me?
What stories have I told myself for so long, I now believe them?
How do these shadows affect my life?
4. Breath and Meditation Practice
Sit comfortably and focus on your breath. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a count of four, then exhale slowly through your mouth with a HAAA sound, pushing your tongue out and down, towards your chin. Repeat for 5-10 minutes. Visualise fire rising from your root chakra to cleanse your system on the inhale, moving up your spine, and on the exhale, as you release the breath, a golden energy moving over you, lifting away any of the ashes of self.
5. Kundalini Activation Visualisation
Imagine a coiled serpent at the base of your spine. With each breath, see it slowly uncoil and rise through your chakras, lighting each one with vibrant energy. Feel this kundalini fire awakening your inner power and wisdom. Feel your own power.
6. Visualise & Empower
Close your eyes, take a moment to connect with your power and passion and visualise the future version of you that already has whatever you desire. See it coming easily to you. See yourself surrounded by it. See yourself running through your days with ease and grace. See it like you are already living it.
7. Closing and Gratitude
Thank yourself for doing this work. Blow out any candles or incense and gently bring your awareness back to the present moment.
Repeat this ritual each day from July 28th to 8th to deepen your connection with the portal’s energy.
How Kundalini Energy Connects with the Lions Gate Portal
Kundalini is a dormant spiritual energy believed to reside at the base of the spine. When awakened, it rises through the chakras, leading to heightened consciousness, creativity, and healing. This fiery energy combines with the fire energy of the lion + the fire horse year = burning down all parts of resistance hlding you back, or keeping you small.
“Jupiter’s recent entry into Leo amplifies themes of confidence, visibility, creativity, and leadership; HOWEVER, the nodal shift into Aquarius and Leo begins redirecting attention toward questions of individuality, community, and authentic self-expression,” Astrologer Richard James, star of Gaia’s StarCastWeekly, explains. “Big dichotomy incoming! Who’s ready?”
The Lions Gate portal’s energy supports this awakening by clearing energetic blockages and amplifying your spiritual vibration. When kundalini rises during this time, it can bring:
Intense clarity about your life purpose
Deep emotional release
Enhanced intuition and psychic abilities
A sense of unity with the universe
Working with kundalini during the portal requires respect and care. It’s important to ground yourself and stay mindful of your body’s signals.
Practical Tips for Navigating the Portal Energy
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body process energetic shifts.
Rest when needed: The portal energy can be intense; allow yourself downtime.
Journal your experiences: Write down insights, dreams, or emotions that arise.
Practice grounding: Walk barefoot on grass, connect with nature, or do gentle yoga.
Avoid overstimulation: Limit screen time, caffience, and heavy social interactions.
These practices help you stay balanced and open to the portal’s gifts.
