Portal Days — How to Work With Energy Even If You're Not Sure You Believe In It

Tomorrow is the Lion's Gate portal, which opens every year on August 8th when the sun is in Leo, Sirius rises on the horizon in alignment with the Earth and Orion's Belt, and the numerology of 8/8 creates a threshold that ancient civilizations including the Egyptians built their entire sacred architecture around. This episode is your preparation for that day, whether you are deeply embedded in spiritual practice or you are simply curious and open and willing to try something intentional for ten minutes before the world wakes up.As a Leo rising who works with this portal every year through intention writing, candle lighting, mantra, and connecting with the particular quality of Leo energy that the Strength card in the Tarot captures so completely, I want to share what this practice actually looks like and why I believe that portal days are not about magical thinking but about the universal human technology of pausing at thresholds and asking yourself honestly what you are releasing and what you are calling in. The sun shines without apology. And even the sun sets. That is the whole teaching. Guided breath practice included.Find me on Instagram, Threads or Twitter @darrynkrobinson.
