Mid-year shake-up or new year, your choice. I know we are past the middle of the year, but hey – close enough or you can start your year now. Afterall, what is time? I only recently heard of something called The Lion’s Gate Portal. It is astrological, spiritual, numerological, and for many folks it might be a bit too woo-woo. On the other hand, it is a reminder for us to examine our lives and consider what we really want.
As I did a bit of reading about this Lion’s Gate Portal it is an alignment of Earth, star Sirius, and the Sun in Leo – the astrological part. This time of the year 8-August (8-8) is a reminder of the rising and potential flooding of the Nile River. So, some history that doesn’t seem too ‘out there’. According to those who know this is the beginning of a new year and a time to offer our reflections for the future –hmm – sounds like what many do for 1-January. This is also a time of enhanced spiritual awakening that offers an opportunity to set intentions, manifest desires, and personal transformations.
No matter what your beliefs I see an advantage in taking this time to do self-evaluation, set goals or intentions, note what you need to stop, what you need to start, and what you need to keep doing. Don’t blindly exist from day to day but know what you want and do what you need to be the best you can be and have the beautiful life you deserve.
