The Lion’s Gate Portal opens up once a year on August 8. The event is often referred to as 8/8 by spiritualists and astrologists, who associate the number with abundance. This is, among other things, because the number 8 on its side looks like infinity.
As it falls in Leo season 2022, it's a time of great strength and pride. Its proximity to the absolute drama that is the August Full Moon 2022, also known as the Sturgeon Moon, means that this is your time to shake up the universe and dream big. The Lion's Gate Portal opening is a time when you're able to manifest abundance more than any other time of the year.
Every year the opening of this portal gives us a chance to evolve and become a more empowered, stronger, better version of ourselves. It's a chance to move nearer to the person you want to be and the life you want to live.

One ritual, recommended by the Mind Body Green contributors AstroTwins is to write down what you'd like to heal in your life, continue to develop and nurture, what you'd like to purge, and most importantly what you love and adore most about yourself. "Then, consider how you can use your amazing uniqueness to usher this new paradigm of love into the world," they say. "Bring out your inner Leo to play, and see how it feels to infuse some ferocity into your world. May we all roar our way through the gate!"
