#lionsgate2026

the lions gate portal peaks tomorrow on 8/8.

and if you've been feeling restless lately — like something in you is trying to shift but you can't quite name it — this is why.

every year on august 8th, earth, the sun in leo, and sirius align. the ancient egyptians tracked sirius obsessively — its rising marked the flooding of the nile, the renewal of everything. they knew this star meant something.

in modern spiritual practice, 8/8 is considered the most potent manifestation window of the year. not because the universe is doing something to you. because the conditions are more fertile than usual for the thing you've been trying to do anyway: make a decision about who you are.

here's what i'm doing tomorrow:

— clearing out old assumptions. consciously. pulling the plug on the identity that says "i'm not someone who gets what they want."

— making one decision. not a wish list. one identity-level decree. "i am fully expressed. i am chosen. this is already done."

— scripting from inside that reality. present tense. specific. until the words stop feeling like a story and start feeling like a memory.

— living from it for the rest of the portal (open until august 12th).

the portal doesn't manifest for you. it turns up the signal on what you're already creating. so make sure your dominant assumption is the new one, not the old one.

the portal is open. walk through it. 🦁✨

not pivot. not plan. not set intentions and make lists and do the work.

but to stop.

and i know how uncomfortable that feels. i know because i feel it too — that pull to always be in motion, always productive, always doing something that looks like progress. the guilt that settles in the moment you sit still. the way rest feels like falling behind.

that discomfort has a name.

it's called the witch wound.

the witch wound is the inherited fear of being judged for being unconventional, intuitive, and fully yourself. it's centuries of conditioning that taught us it isn't safe to be too much — too knowing, too powerful, too feminine, too wild.

and one of the sneakiest ways it shows up is in our relationship with stillness.

because here's what the witch wound doesn't want you to know: within the void — within the quiet, the pause, the darkness — your power comes back online.

not in a beautiful whimsical way, always. sometimes it comes back online through the shadow. through the things you've been avoiding. through the emotions that have been waiting for you to finally stop long enough to feel them.

and so we stay busy. we stay in action. we stay in the doing because the being is where things get uncomfortable and real and true.

tomorrow, the moon crosses the sun.

a total solar eclipse in Leo. a literal void. a few minutes of temporary darkness in the middle of the day.

and the cosmos is using that moment to ask you something:

can you sit in the pause?

not analyse it. not optimise it. not make it productive.

just — be in it. feel it. let whatever has been waiting in the quiet finally speak.

this eclipse is closing the Lions Gate. it's a portal of acceleration and it's also a portal of release. things that have been held together by sheer force of will are dissolving. identities that no longer fit are completing their cycle. what you've been white-knuckling your way through is asking to be let go.

you don't have to figure out what comes next in the void.

you just have to stop being afraid of it.

the eclipse portal stays open until the lunar eclipse on august 27th. that two-week window — between the solar eclipse closing the Lions Gate and the lunar eclipse in Pisces — is one of the most fertile manifestation periods of the year.

but it starts with the pause.

it starts with tomorrow.

it starts with you choosing, just for a moment, to stop running from the stillness and let it show you what it's been holding.

the void is not the absence of your power.

it is where your power lives.
