How is the Lion’s Gate significant in 2024?
Activator: Mercury Retrograde began last week and we are currently in it. Mercury’s Retrograde is where we revisit our older timelines and stories, to learn what we need to learn and understand what changes we need to make now - to shift those stories.
The annual Lion’s Gate represents two major shifts. One for you and one for the collective. Humanity is moving through massive themes collectively and will also move through the gateway initiating major shifts on a global level. This is something to be aware of yet also be mindful that your reality is what counts. As through you is how you see the world.
On a personal level - the Lion’s Gateway is an opportunity for intention setting with amplified energies directing towards your dreams, desires, intentions (read much more about this below)….
It is also the gateway for personal power. The Lion is known as king of the jungle, yet the Lion is also protector and provider of its domain. There is responsibility of being a king or queen, of being in charge…to protect, love and care for what is in your charge.
Empowerment is a transformational process where you feel more confident, at peace, more in charge of your life. Here you naturally begin to make major changes to your life and lifestyle for the better….What themes around power are playing up for you during this time?
The Lion is also renowned for its Roar. Elements relating to your Truth, Communication, Voice, Speaking Up, Boundaries may appear to be more significant - all designed to help you in future endeavours. Collectively we are working through major throat chakra themes (I have an upcoming free Throat Chakra meditation to be released next week).
This year’s Lion’s Gate offers an 888, triple 8. Its triple infinity power means Abundance for sure yet also Great Change. Abundance equals change - an upgrade to a higher reality.
Questions to ask
What stories are you currently revisiting in your mind?
Is it relationships from your past? Is it past choices? Is it regret (…about what?). Is it flashbacks to nostalgic periods in your life (why? What’s the significance?).
Your conscious awareness is incredibly attuned to your soul lessons. There is a reason you are contemplating all of the things you do - it isn’t just because you are “stuck in old patterns” or “reminiscing what could have been”.
Why are you thinking about it, now?…
Shadow work becomes even more important during this period to face what is trying to emerge. We will find any excuse not to do it yet it can save us weeks, months of being stuck fighting our sparring partner The Shadow instead of joining forces and swimming upwards together.
Intention Setting, Lion’s Gate & Initiations
Whatever you want will have a counterpart you will need to overcome
Whatever you are wishing to manifest will have an Initiation that is both a challenge you need to overcome as well as being the very process to raise your vibration to embody it - thus being able to manifest it. Read this article for more on this
E.g. if it’s a new relationship you want, then you may have the challenge of having to open up first to others, thus being open - makes you receptive to relationships on an energetic level.
Mercury’s Retrograde during the Lion’s Gate is helping you understand the times in your life where you haven’t done this, to incentivise you further to do this.
Above all, this is a time for profound spiritual connection - emphasising an increase in psychic, channeling, intuitive abilities as Sirius the star that governs this portal is queen of inner sight.
The Lion’s Gate
Astrological, mythological and ancient significance
The Lions Gate 88 symbolises when the star Sirius (often seen throughout history as Earth’s Second Sun) lines up with the Earth and the Galactic Center and Orion’s Belt. It is also when Sirius is said to be at its closest to Earth and lines up directly with the pyramids of Giza.
The Gateway occurs in the zodiac sign of Leo, hence the name: Lions Gateway. The period lasts 28th July to 12th August.
The Gateway symbolises essentially an opening of immense Ascension codes. Or what we refer to as ascension codes because they are higher frequencies than our current paradigm. These codes and frequencies that Sirius channels through its system offer us a Greater Awakening.
Think of a healing session that you experience. You walk in as one person and leave as another. The change that has occurred in that session is profound and it accelerates your spiritual transformation. The Lion’s Gate (and all portals) are accelerated healing sessions! So you can imagine the shifts possible.
Sirius is 26 times brighter than our sun.
Many see the Lions Gateway as our spiritual New Year or New Cycle.
It is a brilliant opportunity to set intentions for the new cycle and to consciously embrace a higher octave of your destiny. Simply setting an intention for positive change is powerful enough (see further down)
In Ancient Egypt, Egyptians also noticed that the heliacal rising (when a star first becomes visible on the eastern side of the planet) of Sirius would coincide a short time prior to the flooding of the Nile. The flooding of the Nile would nourish all of the land for the crops to grow and prosper. So Sirius rising was celebrated as a time of abundance!
Famously the Dogon tribe of W. Africa knew of both Sirius A (visible) and Sirius B (invisible to the naked eye) - well before advanced telescopes were invented to prove this. The Dogon tribe have an origin story of being taught by amphibious beings (live on land and water) from the star Sirius, who were said to teach them cosmic knowledge. This included an unprecedented understanding of the nature of the Universe, including subatomic particles and the Big Bang. Interestingly, “The Dogon also claim that there is a third star in the Sirius system that has yet to be discovered, and gravitational observations might prove their claim to be true”.1
Astrologically, Sirius is appreciated as one of the most influential fixed stars, which enhances psychic abilities, spiritual insight and intuition.
The Blue or Dog Star, Sirius starts becomes visible and rises with Orion’s belt to align with the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx to activate the Leo Lion’s Gate giving us access to the knowledge of the Golden Age of Consciousness.
Connect to the Lion’s Gate energies
Find a space to yourself and intentionally set a time to do this. This may take 5-10 minutes.
Use a practice to connect within and to Spirit in your own way. You may find a guided prayer can help, such as this to listen to get into the zone:
Focus on these areas:
What Do I Want?
What Am I Ready For?
What Do I Want To Change In My Life?
What Do I Want To Call In?
Am I Ready to Let Go of Collective Consensus Reality and Honour My Own…?
Meditate on these areas and call in the Lion’s Gate energies intentionally.
Feel them as washing showers of light that shimmer over you, blessing you, upgrading you, uplifting you.
Breathe the light in
Breathe your new reality out…
