The Lion’s Gate Isn’t About Waiting—It’s About Choosing
"You don’t need more signs. You need trust. The portal is open—you get to choose." — Lana Gendlin Brooks
Let’s Reframe the Lion’s Gate
Every August, spiritual circles buzz with talk of the Lion’s Gate portal and its powerful manifesting energy. But this year, I invite you to look at it differently.
What if the portal isn’t a time to sit back and hope…
But a time to rise up and decide?
The 8/8 alignment offers a cosmic surge of clarity, courage, and soul-led truth. It’s not about asking the universe for signs—it’s about trusting your own inner knowing. And when your intuition feels murky, your pendulum becomes a powerful ally.
Why the Lion’s Gate Portal Matters
The Lion’s Gate portal peaks on August 8 (8/8), as the Sun in Leo aligns with the star Sirius, known as our "Spiritual Sun." This portal activates themes of:
It’s often called a manifesting portal. But the deeper truth is that you become the portal.
It’s your willingness to align with who you really are that activates everything.
The Truth About Intuition During the Portal
During this time, your intuition becomes louder. But so can your fear.
Intuition whispers: “It’s time.” Fear argues: “But what if you’re wrong?”
Most people wait for signs. For perfect timing. For permission. But Lion’s Gate energy invites you to stop waiting for clarity and start trusting that you already have it.
The courage isn’t in knowing—it’s in choosing. Personally, this energy is showing up powerfully in my life right now. Even with my own pendulum practice, I’m moving through major shifts and deep transformation. I’ve been feeling the weight of some big decisions in multiple areas—and honestly, it’s been overwhelming at times.
That’s why I’m so grateful the Lion’s Gate is aligning with my highest timelines. It’s a reminder that I’m not stuck—I’m empowered. I get to choose.
If this resonates with where you are, I encourage you to shift your perspective. It’s not about making the right decision—it’s about making a decision. And the beauty is: YOU get to choose.
The right tool: Using a Pendulum to Make Aligned Decisions
When your mind is noisy and your soul is speaking softly, a pendulum can help bridge the gap.
Pendulum Practice for the Lion’s Gate Portal:
-
Ground yourself. Sit quietly with your feet on the earth. Place one hand on your heart, and take three deep breaths.
-
Hold your pendulum over your palm or chart. Ask to connect to your highest self and only receive truth in your highest good.
-
Calibrate. Ask:
-
“Show me yes.”
-
“Show me no.”
-
“Am I clear to receive guidance now?”
-
Ask aligned questions. Use the portal energy to ask powerful, soul-led questions like:
-
“Is this next step aligned with my soul’s expansion?”
-
“Is it time to release what no longer fits?”
-
“Am I holding back out of fear?”
-
“Is this opportunity in my highest good?”
-
Close with gratitude. Thank your higher self for the guidance.
Remember: the pendulum isn’t making the decision for you. It’s helping you reconnect to your truth.
This Is Your Portal to Power
This Lion’s Gate isn’t about waiting for the stars to bless your path. It’s about recognizing the portal within you—and stepping through it with clarity and conviction.
The decisions you’ve been circling? The bold moves you’ve delayed? This is your window.
And your pendulum? It’s not magic—it’s a mirror. It reflects what your soul already knows.
