From 8/8 to 8/12: How to Work With the Lions Gate Portal Until It Closesew Post

The Lions Gate Portal opens every year from late July to mid-August, with August 8th (8/8) as the peak. This cosmic alignment—when the Sun in Leo, the star Sirius, and the Earth line up—supercharges our ability to manifest, receive, and step into higher levels of consciousness.

Here’s the thing: most people focus only on the day of 8/8 and then let the energy fade. But the days after 8/8, leading up to the portal’s close around August 12, are just as important. That’s when you anchor your intentions, act like they’re already yours, and remove anything blocking your path.

Let’s break it down.

8/8 – Peak Day: Declare and Activate

This is your ignition point. The energy is at its highest.

• Write an 8× Intention List
  Choose one clear, bold intention. Write it eight times in the present tense: “I am living my dream life with ease and joy.”

• Light and Align
  Light a gold or white candle. Speak your intention out loud as if it’s happening now.

• 8-Minute Visualization
  Close your eyes and imagine living this reality. Feel the emotions—calm, joy, certainty.

8/9 – 8/10: Embody the Frequency

Now that you’ve set the tone, it’s about being the person who has it.

• Daily Self-Check
  Ask: “How would my future self show up today?” Then act like that person.

• Carry a Token
  Keep your intention written in your wallet or carry a crystal like citrine (abundance) or pyrite (confidence).

• Mirror Affirmations
  Each morning, look yourself in the eyes and say:
  “I am worthy. I am ready. I am living this now.”

8/11 – Release and Reset

This is the cleansing point before the portal closes.

• Write and Burn
  List fears, doubts, and habits you’re ready to drop. Burn or bury them with the words: “I release what no longer serves my future self.”

• Open to Guidance
  Keep a small notebook with you. Write down signs, synchronicities, or ideas that come to you.

8/12 – Closing Day: Anchor and Integrate

Think of this as “sealing in” the energy.

• Gratitude List
  Write 12 things you’re grateful for—some from before 8/8, some that have unfolded during the portal.

• Ground Yourself
  Go for a walk in nature. Take deep, slow breaths. Imagine the energy from these days rooting into your everyday life.

Why It Works

The Lions Gate Portal is an amplifier. On 8/8, you send out your clearest signal. In the following days, you reinforce that frequency by living it, clearing blocks, and integrating gratitude. This isn’t about wishing—it’s about alignment and action.
