August 8, 2024, is the alignment of 888. It’s the eighth day of the eighth month and also in the eighth year because twenty-four is a multiple of eight. This is called the Lion’s Gate Portal. It involves the alignment of the number eight (8), which symbolizes infinite abundance, and the alignment of the Sun in Leo, along with the star Sirius, Orion’s Belt, and Earth. On this day, it is believed that we will receive a surge of spiritual energy that we can use for transformation.
What is Lions Gate Portal?
It is known to be a super powerful portal to manifest wealth and abundance into your life.
In Western astrology, the Leo season runs from July 23 to August 22 each year. On August 8 (8/8), the Sun, Sirius (the brightest star), Orion, and Earth align perfectly. This alignment marks the Lion’s Gate Portal, a period from July 28 to August 12 when the Sun is believed to activate the power of Sirius.
In ancient Egypt, Sirius was linked to the goddess Sopdet and the annual flooding of the Nile, crucial for their survival. The Greeks and Romans later observed that Sirius, known as “The Dog Star,” rose with the Sun in late July, signaling the hottest time of the year—The Dog Days of Summer. While both the Dog Days and the Lion’s Gate Portal involve Sirius, they are different: the Dog Days are based on ancient astrology, while the Lion’s Gate Portal is a newer tradition with similar origins.
Ancient astrologers noted that Sirius, besides being bright, shared characteristics with the fiery planets Jupiter and Mars. Jupiter is associated with luck, growth, and prosperity, while Mars represents action, passion, and energy. Combining these qualities, Sirius was considered particularly favorable. Therefore, taking action during this alignment is thought to help achieve goals, benefiting from the luck of Jupiter and the drive of Mars.
Astrologers suggest ways in which one can make their manifestations come true
On the night of August 8 at 8:08 PM, say these three affirmations:
I am connected to an unlimited source of abundance.
I welcome an unlimited source of wealth into my life.
I attract wealth and success into my life.
It is also suggested that on this day, you write your manifestations on a bay leaf with a red pen. Include your name, then burn the leaf and blow the ashes into the air.
Astrologers suggest another method for making your manifestations come true:
Take a yellow piece of paper and draw an infinity symbol on it with a red pen. Write your manifestation and your name on the paper. Fold the paper towards you three times, keep it until August 12, and then burn it at 8 PM to send your intentions into the universe.
