Manifesting With the Lion's Gate Portal: Your Guide to Creating Magic with the 8/8 Energy
Every year, between July 26 and August 12, something extraordinary happens in our cosmos. The Lion's Gate portal opens, creating one of the most powerful windows for manifestation we experience all year. As we approach the peak on August 8, I want to share with you how to harness this incredible energy to create real, lasting change in your life.
While many people know about Lion's Gate as a time of spiritual awakening and DNA activation, what often gets overlooked is its raw manifesting power. This is the time when the Universe literally opens its doors wider, making it easier for our intentions to take form in the physical world.
Think of it as cosmic amplification for your dreams.
Understanding the Manifestation Power of Lion's Gate
The Lion's Gate portal is unique because it creates a direct channel between your desires and their physical manifestation. When Sirius, our spiritual sun, aligns with our Sun and Earth, it creates an energetic superhighway. Your thoughts, feelings, and intentions travel this highway at lightning speed, reaching the quantum field where all possibilities exist.
What makes 8/8 especially powerful for manifestation is the numerology. The number 8 represents material abundance, personal power, and the infinite flow of giving and receiving. When you see the number 8 sideways, it becomes the infinity symbol - showing us that during Lion's Gate, we tap into infinite possibilities.
This portal acts like a magnifying glass for your manifesting abilities. Whatever you focus on during this time gets supercharged. This is why it's crucial to be intentional about what you're calling in.
Preparing Your Energy Field for Lion's Gate Manifestation
Before you dive into manifesting during this portal, you need to prepare your energy field. Think of it like clearing the runway before a plane takes off - you want nothing blocking your intentions from soaring.
Start by creating what I call an "energy inventory." Take stock of what's currently in your field. What thoughts are on repeat? What emotions are you carrying? What stories are you telling yourself about what's possible? Lion's Gate will amplify everything, so if you're holding onto doubt, fear, or old limiting beliefs, now is the time to release them.
One of my favorite techniques for this is the "golden light sweep." Every morning leading up to 8/8, visualize golden light (the color of Leo and the Sun) sweeping through your entire energy field. See it dissolving any heavy or stagnant energy, leaving only pure potential in its wake.
The Lion's Gate Manifestation Method
Here's my signature method for manifesting during Lion's Gate. I call it the "Solar Heart Technique" because it combines the power of the Sun (Leo's ruler) with your heart's magnetic field.
Step 1: Connect to Your Solar Core: Sit in sunlight if possible, or visualize yourself bathed in golden rays. Feel the warmth penetrating not just your skin but your entire being. This light is awakening your inner sun - your personal power center. Breathe deeply and feel this light expanding from your solar plexus throughout your body.
Step 2: Drop into Your Heart: Once you feel filled with solar energy, bring your awareness to your heart. Your heart is the most powerful manifesting tool you have. Its electromagnetic field is 60 times greater than your brain's. During Lion's Gate, your heart becomes a magnet for your desires.
Step 3: Speak Your Intention: From this heart space, speak your intention out loud. But here's the key - speak it as if it's already happened. Instead of "I want to attract my soulmate," say "I am so grateful for the deep, loving relationship I share with my partner." Feel the joy, the gratitude, the completion of this desire in your heart as you speak.
Step 4: Seal it with the Infinity Breath: Take 8 deep breaths, and with each breath, visualize your intention traveling along an infinity symbol that connects your heart to the cosmos. See your desire moving along this infinite loop, gathering momentum and power with each breath.
Working with Sirius Energy for Manifestation
What makes Lion's Gate different from other manifestation portals is the involvement of Sirius, the brightest star in our sky. Sirius has been called our Spiritual Sun, and ancient cultures believed it held the codes for human evolution and consciousness expansion.
During Lion's Gate, you can tap directly into Sirian energy to supercharge your manifestations. Here's how:
Every night during the portal, go outside and find Sirius in the sky (it's the brightest star you'll see). If you can't see it due to weather or location, simply face southeast and know it's there.
Hold your written intention in your hands and imagine a beam of brilliant blue-white light connecting your third eye to Sirius. This is the color of Sirian light - electric, alive, pulsing with possibility. Send your intention along this beam of light, and then be still. Often, you'll receive downloads, insights, or signs about your manifestation through this connection.
The Abundance Activation Ritual
Since the number 8 governs material abundance, Lion's Gate is particularly powerful for manifesting prosperity. Here's a ritual I've used for years that never fails to bring results:
On the night of August 7, create a figure 8 on your floor using golden candles (tea lights work perfectly). You'll need 16 candles total - 8 for each circle of the figure 8. In the center where the two circles meet, place a piece of citrine or pyrite.
Light the candles starting from the center and moving outward, stating with each candle what abundance means to you. Not just money - but time abundance, love abundance, health abundance, creative abundance.
Sit in the center of your figure 8 and feel yourself at the intersection of giving and receiving. This is the secret of sustainable abundance - you must be in the flow of both. Spend 8 minutes here, feeling the infinite flow of abundance moving through you.
Manifestation Accelerators for Lion's Gate
To accelerate your manifestations during this portal, incorporate these powerful practices:
☀️ Morning Sun Gazing: During the first 30 minutes after sunrise, spend time gazing at the sun (safely, just for a few seconds at a time). This charges your pineal gland and aligns you with solar consciousness.
💗 Heart Coherence Practice: Three times a day, spend 3 minutes breathing in and out through your heart. This creates coherence between your heart and brain, making you a more powerful manifestor.
♌ Leo Rising Ritual: Each morning, stand facing east and stretch your arms wide like a lion stretching in the sun. Declare "I am ready to receive all that is meant for me" and feel your entire being open to receive.
🌊 8/8 Water Activation: On August 8, charge water in the sunlight and add 8 drops of rose oil (Leo loves rose). Drink this throughout the day to literally consume the Lion's Gate frequencies.
Common Manifestation Blocks During Lion's Gate
Even during this powerful portal, certain blocks can prevent your manifestations from landing. The most common one I see is trying to manifest from your head instead of your heart. Lion's Gate is ruled by Leo, the sign of the heart. If you're approaching manifestation as a mental exercise, you're missing the magic.
Another block is what I call "cosmic FOMO" - trying to manifest everything at once because the portal is so powerful. Focus is your friend during Lion's Gate. Choose one or two primary intentions and give them your full energy.
The third major block is forgetting to embody your manifestation. It's not enough to vision board or affirm. You must BECOME the person who already has what you're calling in. How would that person walk? Talk? Make decisions? Start being that person now.
Integration: Making Your Lion's Gate Manifestations Stick
The portal doesn't close on August 12 and take your manifestations with it. The energy you activate during Lion's Gate continues to work for you, but you must tend to it. Think of your manifestations like seeds you've planted in very fertile soil. They still need water and sunlight to grow.
Create what I call a "manifestation maintenance practice." Every day at 8:08 (am or pm), spend just 60 seconds reconnecting with the feeling of your manifestation being complete. This keeps the energy alive and magnetic.
Also, watch for signs and synchronicities. The Universe starts sending confirmation signals almost immediately after Lion's Gate. These might be repeating numbers, unexpected opportunities, or people showing up who can help your manifestation unfold. Your job is to notice and act on these signs.
Living as a Lion's Gate Manifestor
When you learn to work with Lion's Gate energy, you become what I call a "portal manifestor" - someone who knows how to ride the cosmic waves for accelerated creation. This isn't about waiting all year for Lion's Gate. It's about understanding that when you align with these powerful portals, you exponentially increase your manifesting power.
Remember, you are a creator. You have the same creative force running through you that creates worlds. Lion's Gate simply turns up the volume on what's already within you. Use this time wisely. Be bold in what you ask for. Be clear in your intentions. And most importantly, be ready to receive.
The Universe is conspiring to give you everything you desire. During Lion's Gate, it's shouting "YES!" to your dreams. All you have to do is believe it, feel it, and prepare to receive it.
As we move through this powerful portal together, know that you have everything you need to manifest your wildest dreams. The stars are literally aligning for you. The question is: are you ready to roar?
