LION’S GATE PORTAL
Combining the lessons in my Moon Magic course and The Moon and the Zodiac course, we are able to identify the best, strongest and most potent days to work magick to help bring us closer to our goals, protect us, or help rid things that no longer serve our highest purpose.
So – With the knowledge of those courses within us – here’s how today’s energies align… May you find a way to work with today’s energies to help you get closer to your goal, achieve what you desire, protect yourself or rid things that no longer align with you.
Lion’s Gate Portal
Every year on August 8, a powerful cosmic gateway opens as the Sun in fiery Leo, Earth, and Sirius—often called our “Spiritual Sun”—align in the sky. In simple terms, the Lion’s Gate Portal acts like a cosmic amplifier for your intentions, self-confidence, and personal growth. Because it peaks on August 8 (8/8), it carries the numerological energy of the double eight—the symbol of infinity, divine flow, and limitless potential. It is a moment when the universe encourages you to shed old doubts, step out of the shadows, and claim your true strength.
You don’t need an elaborate setup or deep esoteric knowledge to harness this energy. On August 8, 2026, simply carve out a few quiet moments to focus on what you want to bring into your life, set clear, heart-centered goals, and release any habits holding you back. Think of this day as an energetic fresh start—a gentle reminder from the cosmos that you hold the power to shape your own reality and step confidently into your next chapter.
Day – Saturday lends energies to banishing, can be associated with death but not necessarily physical death – it could be the “death” of something you want gone or the end of something that no longer serves your best interests/purposes.
Zodiac – The moon in Gemini lends energies towards efforts involving good communication, change of residence, writing, public relations and travel.
Moon – The moon is in a Waning Crescent. This energy lends towards efforts of discarding, banishment, and releasing the things which no longer serve your highest purposes. When the moon goes waning, our intentions have to be set just so that we are achieving what we want, not working against ourselves.
So today – Combine the Waning Crescent with Saturday for a “Double Dismissal” and Gemini is telling you where to focus that energy today. Focus on removing, banishing or discarding anything that is blocking or negatively impacting your lines of communication, efforts to move (change of residence), and any travel plans.
Whatever you choose to do today, be clear with your intention and mindful with your words. Happy Manifesting!
Daily Affirmation (a mantra to get you through today)
