It is said that on the 8th day of the 8th month every year, there is a peak in cosmic energy flowing between the physical and spiritual realms. It’s called The Lion’s Gate.

The numeral 8 is known as the number of infinite power and abundance, and in this case, it’s doubled.

The portal is open between 26th July and 12th August, when the bright star Sirius is close to Earth, and lines up with the Pyramids of Giza.

During this period you may feel on edge, anxious and unable to sleep.

The huge surge of energy also offers a chance for upgrade in vibration and spiritual awakening. Trust the flow of energy and follow your intuition. A good time to focus on your goals.

This New Moon in Leo is associated with creativity, generosity, fun and romance. Ask yourself how can you enhance these areas of your life? Remember to set your New Moon wishes.

The saving grace is Chiron, the planet of healing, making a happy trine aspect to the New Moon.

The planetary ruler associated with the sign of Leo is the Sun. Let’s do our best to be like the Sun – be warm, smile and shine our light!
