The Lion’s Gate Portal opens between July 26th and August 12th every year. It is at its peak on the 8th of August, so many spiritualists celebrate it on this day.
It is an incredibly spiritual time, with the energy of change and transformation. It is a great time to perform a Tarot spread, discovering how you can connect with its power to manifest and grow spiritually.
In this Lion’s Gate Tarot spread guide, I will walk you through an eight-card Lion’s Gate spread that looks at the different ways this spiritual event can help you on your own personal journey.
What is the Lion’s Gate?
So, what actually is the Lion’s Gate, and why is it so important?
The Lion’s Gate refers to when the star Sirius rises in the sky and thus aligns with the earth. Many mystics and spiritualists believe that this celestial event opens a portal of change and transformation.
It amplifies truth and clarity, allowing us to cross through this portal and understand other realms of existence.
The 8th of August is when Sirius is at its peak and therefore is when the portal is at its most powerful. As this celestial event happens in Leo season, it is known as the Lion’s Gate.
There is a numerological significance to this date, too. The number eight reflects abundance and infinity, revealing success and vision. It is also interesting to note that the number eight in Tarot is the Strength card. This card will often depict a Lion and represents inner power and compassion.
The opening of the Lion’s Gate Portal provides us with a spiritual moment to change and evolve into our true selves. By using Tarot, we can identify what the Lion’s Gate means to us.
