What is a Lion’s Gate portal?

A Lion’s Gate portal is an astrological phenomenon where 3 important celestial events take place:
- The star Sirius rises in the sky and becomes visible to us; 🌟
- The Sun is in its home sign of Leo;
- The numerological significance of 8/8.
Sirius is the brightest star in the sky and has been important to humanity since ancient Egypt, when it was equated to Goddess Isis, symbol of fertility.
The Lion was significant to ancient Egyptians who associated it with the sun and the pharaoh, the most powerful elements of life and death in ancient Egypt.
The Number 8 is the number of infinity (the reason we included it in the name of our website!), symbolizing the 8 lunar phases, the 8 Wiccan sabbats, and all endless cycles.
Collectively these factors are about to vibrate together in a highly specific way to produce an especially lucky and fortunate day out of the year. By practicing a Lion’s Gate ritual, you are aligning yourself with the energetic potency of this day of expansive opportunities.
How this New Moon in Leo Spell Works
- 🌑 New Moons are a great time to reflect, rest, and begin anew. You can welcome the new lunar cycle with a New Moon spell for bringing what you want into your life.

- 🕯️ Orange candles represent creativity, confidence, and charisma – all traits heavily associated with Leos.
