The Lions Gate Portal is activated, open, and beaming down upon us a frequency that is illuminating authentic remembrance.

Every year, on the exact same date, 08/08, humanity collectively ventures through this portal. The message and wisdom are the same, but the lessons and blessings change because we are not the same as previous years.

For 2026, the number eight is amplified more than before because, numerologically, if you calculate today’s date (without the zeros), 8 + 8 + 2 + 2 + 6 = 26, then 2 + 6 = 8.

The number eight is significant in numerology, representing transformation, abundance, infinite possibilities, divine intervention, rebirth, mastery, balance between the physical and spiritual worlds, mystical flow, cause and effect, and karmic rhythm.

We also have the influence of the Leo archetypes: The Sovereign One, The King / Queen, and The Radiant Leader. All encouraging heart-led leadership, authentic self-expression, and spiritual awakening through play, joy, and passion. Together, these ingredients are mixing up a tantalising, dazzling, and self-empowering treat!

Enter the celestial alignment, with our Sun currently in Leo, our planet Earth, and Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, all converging in a cosmic peak alignment! Ancient Egyptians believed Sirius to be our spiritual Sun, and during this time of year, its peak marks a turning point for humanity, making it a perfect time to tap into and unlock one’s inner authentic potential.

During this time, when the veil of illusion is thin (there are two eclipses happening this month), there is no room or capacity for false pretence. The Leo archetype’s heart is blazing bright and warmly encouraging us to:

Remember who you are.
Let your heart lead.
Trust the unique gifts you’re here to share.

Lions Gate Portal Embodiment Activation Practice

1. In a comfortable position, bring both hands to rest on the centre of your chest, the energetic space of the heart. Take a few moments to tune into your inner rhythm, your breath, and simply witness all that’s rising in this moment, without judgement or the need to change anything in any way.

2. With your eyes closed, begin to see / sense / feel a warm golden flame growing and glowing under your hands. Feel its warmth, the flickering flames lighting up the lotus in the heart.

3. Your inhalation feeds the flame as it grows brighter, warmer, and bigger. Your exhalation gives permission for your shoulders to soften, while your heart expands from the inside. Continue for a few more rounds, allowing the sensation to travel along the arms so they begin to lift and open, moving authentically and expressing the somatic experience of what’s arising for you during this time.

4. With the eyes open, closed, or at a half gaze, continue for as long as feels good. When you’re ready, gradually come back into stillness, placing one hand on your heart and the other on your belly. Complete with three exhalations through your mouth: exhaling to ground yourself back to the present moment, exhaling to ground yourself back into your body, and exhaling to ground yourself into who you are now!

Repeat to yourself: I honour the light within me and courageously share it with the world.
