Channelled messages from Lion’s Gate 8/8 portal 2024

Lion’s Gate is a special astrological alignment that’s active from 26th July – 12th August each year with the peak energy day falling on 8/8.
It’s a potent time when Orion’s belt, the star Sirius (our spiritual sun), the Earth and the Sun in Leo all align to create a fertile ground for us to exand, experience rapid spiritual growth and manifest our desires with ease.
As the portal closes for another year I wanted to share the downloads and channelled messages I received for the collective this year…
Home
The topic of “Home” came through as an important theme this Lion’s gate for the collective.
We’re being called to tend to our physical spaces and make our homes the temples and sanctuaries that will be most conducive to our overall productivity and wellbeing. Now is a good time to declutter and clear out any stuck or stagnant energy in the form of physical possessions – do you really need those old birthday cards from your ex? Or those socks with holes in them?
But this topic goes deeper than simply our physical homes. The phrase “Home is where the heart is” comes to mind. It’s about thinking about what home means to us. How can we feel more grounded and rooted in our lives? Are we afraid to commit? What allows us to feel safe and supported in life? It’s important to to do some reflection and shadow work around what our experience of “home” was like for us growing up as this will allow us to clear and declutter on a mental and emotional level as we let go of old resentments and fears around safety, security, belonging etc. You can also look at the 4th house in your astrological chart as this will provide some more clues as to how you experience this theme in your life.
Soul Family
This is sort of connected to the theme of home in a broader sense. We’re being called to think about our chosen family and the groups and communities we are a part of.
It’s important to find like-minded and hearted people to share the journey of spiritual growth and expansion with – whether it’s in person or via online communities.
However, we are also being asked to bridge the divide. In the midst of growing tension and division we’re being asked to focus on our commonalities and what makes us human as we set our differences aside in favour of the greater good.
The universe is asking us to shift our relationship dynamics right now. This can involve letting go of connections we’ve outgrown or which are no longer serving us as well as calling in new relationships which will support us on the next stage of our journey.
Beauty
Spirit wants us to call more beauty into our lives, whatever that means for us on an individual level – whether it’s filling our homes with beautiful flowers or going to look at beautiful paintings and statues in galleries.
The energy from Lion’s gate affords us an opportunity to heal any feelings of low self esteem or hang-ups about our physical appearance as we learn what it means to be beautiful on the inside and out.
Now is the time to adjust your beauty routine to something that is truly in alignment with you on a soul level – it’s time to stop following trends or buying into unrealistic media standards which have distorted the true meaning of beauty.
Heart expansion
During the live event I held on 8/8 I channelled Goddess Ishtar and conducted a clearing and healing the heart chakra for those who were participating.
Specifically I walked us through 8 chambers of the heart to clear away any blockages, tension and stuck or stagnant energies.
Biologically we only have 4 heart chambers but I received the download that on a spiritual level we have 8 and each one represents something different – I will share more info on this when I have meditated on it further and clarified the messages from Spirit.
Paying attention to our heart chakra at this time will support us in our personal development but it is also important for humanity as a whole since it is the key to calling in a new reality founded on a basis of unconditional love.
Rest & Retreat
A theme that kept coming up in readings that I did during Lion’s gate was the need to slow down, rest, retreat and make space for quiet and personal reflection and meditation.
It may seem counter intuitive but rest is essential for recharging our batteries and reinvigorating our minds, bodies and spirits.
In our busy cultures and societies we may find it hard to slow down, pause and unwind but Spirit is calling us to shift into a new feminine way of managing our lives and schedules – one which makes space for receptivity, stillness and rest.
