#279 - Weekly Energy Update for August 6, 2023: 8/8 Lions Gate Portal
We are currently living in a particularly intense and transformative period. This is the retrograde high season. There are currently four planets and Chiron retrograde, and now Mercury has entered its shadow period, preparing to go retrograde and join the party.
Retrogrades direct our focus to the past and can be cosmic "grace periods" during which we can complete projects and other unfinished business. The prefix re- means to go back. Retrogrades are all about re-words.
Old friends, lovers, and past issues may resurface providing an opportunity to reconnect or revise. Retrogrades can be used to resolve arguments, revisit ideas, or renew a commitment.
Retrogrades can be highly beneficial. We finish projects, improve our style, let go of relationships that are not working for us, and heal our insecurities.
The 8/8 Lions Gate on Wednesday helps with healing. The Lions Gate Portal is an annual astrological event that occurs between July 26th and August 12th, with a peak on August 8th. Because of the numerology of 8/8 and the Sun reaching the halfway point or 15 degrees of Leo, which is the height of Leo energy, August 8 has become the day we celebrate the portal. This is also the astrological halfway point between the June Solstice and the September Equinox.
The Sun aligns with the star Sirius, which is considered our spiritual sun, during this period, and this cosmic alignment creates a powerful portal that fills us with high-frequency energy. This high-vibing energy brings new beginnings, and these new beginnings are often dramatic.
These transformative times offer incredible positive movement in soul growth and life fulfillment, but the process can feel turbulent and scary. Allow yourself some downtime. Rest. Unplug. Avoid activities that you find shallow or depleting. It’s OK to say no to things you don’t want to do right now.
And keep in mind that everything, and I mean everything, is happening for our highest good this month. Thank you retrogrades, and thank you 8/8 Lions Gate. Thank you for the push we need to move forward.
