Within a culmination that leads to a new beginning
“And the band played on..” ~ The Temptations ~
On August 1, 2023, the Moon was at 9 degrees Aquarius. It was in opposition to the Sun at 9 degrees Leo . It had become exact at 2:32 PM EDT that afternoon.
However, this Aquarius Full Moon occurred within an ongoing process, that is still occurring. It’s a configuration that the Ancient Egyptians have named the Lion’s Gate Portal.
This year this occurs from July 28, 2023 ~ August 12th, 2023.
Since the Lion’s Gate Portal happens during Leo season it is understood to be the Gateway of the Lion.
On a metaphorical metaphysical astrological level the Lion’s Gateway is a significant moment of manifestation. Electromagnetically the energy vibration of these stars as they align with Earth and the Great Pyramid of Giza is an auspicious event.
The Great Pyramid of Giza itself is a structure that holds profound mystical implications. Archaeologist, such as Peter Lemesurier in his book, The Great Pyramid Decoded published in 1977, is one such book. In it he depicts the architectural mathematics of the structure of the Great Pyramid from the outside in through every chamber. Interpreting each mathematical combination as a clue to its mystery. The mystery of how it got here and it’s possible meaning. All subjective of course. The interpretation is always thru the eyes of the interpreter. Coming from within the lens of their own feeling and intellectual subjective perceptions as they are reflected thru the experiences of the moment in time that the work was done. However, there is a resonance to some of the meanings of the mathematical engineering synthesized into metaphors that connect.
No matter the Great Pyramid of Giza is a relic of rock and stone perfectly designed and erected. So one would want to give credence to this moment in Leo Season when Sirius and the Orion Belt aligns with the Great Pyramid directly.
Here in August of 2023, as Kuiper Belt objects are becoming more visible and available to be studied, our understanding and interpretations of such things keeps changing, transforming and evolving. That is the fascinating power of this moment we are alive in.
Evolutionary outer planets such as Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are supporting a shift in our consciousness and understanding. The way this is experienced and the evolution for each of us is reflected in how the placements of these planets interacts within the components of each of our own birth charts.
As I have been writing this and up until August 12th, the Lion’s Gate Portal is open and available for all of us to draw from. To connect with the energy of bright conscious life force. This energy is to be channeled into our lives to support our well being, the well being of others and our Great Mother Earth herself.
I found this affirmation from July 4 – August 4th, 1985 ~
“Divine Inspiration is now flowing
through the hearts and minds of all world leaders
Manifesting Peace, Joy and Oneness on our Planet Earth.”
“Author unknown” ~ A Lion’s Gateway Affirmation
For anyone reading this and is so inclined, it is suggested to say it aloud 15x a day as we move through the Lion’s Gate Portal. Even if we do it once I believe it will help. The affirmation is a mindful life affirming thought form that supports a healthy breakthrough and opening within our own lives and the lives of others.
In its generous way the alignment of Sirius and the the Orion Belt with Earth’s horizon and the Great Pyramid has the electromagnetic energy to activate and bring into being creative wishes, dreams and desires accelerated thru the warm brightness of Leo.
Indeed magical manifestations are afoot. Particularly as we allow ourselves to breathe within the rhythm and power of the present moment.
I believe the Lion’s Gateway is affirming a connection to the Divine itself. This Divinity that is contained within us all by the virtue of our very being. The knowledge and experience of our own light and truth is centered within our own heart and soul. It’s the way we perceive our own inherent logical creative mind via impulses transmitted from the depths of our being. This is what has been activated.
At any rate, it’s the interweaving of ideals with innovative conceptions combined with the knowledge, skills and understanding of the material world. This Lion’s Gateway is a passage through time that supports our ability to manifest as above so below.
Therefore, be mindful of what you ask for. Allow yourself to take some time to reflect on what you desire and write it down. Then breathe your hearts desire into it. If you are so inclined take dated notes of your experience. Allow it to unfold.
The Full Moon on August 1st was the yearly ending that marks the creation of a new beginning. The Lion’s Gate Portal is in affect now until the 12th of August. The New Moon is on the 16th. We get to create and manifest during the exhale that is the waning moon. It’s the energy cycle that we are in now.
Consequently being aware that when we had the Full Moon in Aquarius on the 1st, it had been a culminating moment. A time of completion that was also a doorway opening towards the creative manifestation of a new beginning. Unusual for a Full Moon, however with the Moon in Aquarius the unexpected is the usual.
Keep in mind that during the Full Moon in Aquarius in its opposition to the Leo Sun has it is a conduit that ignites a metaphysically metaphorical electrical current. Serving to direct connection to higher consciousness as we allow ourselves to become open and aware of it.
Keep in mind that the traditional co ruler of Aquarius is Saturn. Saturn anchors Aquarian’s connection with the solid material world thru earthbound pursuits. Giving Aquarius the means to be free. Free to fly towards systems based in allowing for higher ideals in freedom to think, feel and be as it must. To flourish and thrive. “To become able to breathe the air we cannot yet breathe”, writes Marge Piercy. That is the influence of Uranus, Aquarius’s modern Ruler.
On the other hand, Saturn, traditional ruler of Aquarius offers the gift of knowledge of the extraordinary contained within the ordinary. Quite often this occurs through presenting challenges, conundrums and inconvenient delays. However, it is said that even a delay may prove beneficial. In its positive response challenges serve as motivation to rethink and renegotiate our way through to the other side of whatever the thing is.
There is a basic truth. It states that one can never be truly free until one is anchored to something solid. The integrity of something to be held into as simple and solid like the Earth sets us free. It seats us as the rider and navigator on the powerful wild horse.
The Sun in Leo forms a square to Uranus and Jupiter in Taurus. I believe this brings on situations that in the long run allows for evolutionary shifts to occur. It’s a subtle significant shift in our perception of reality. This is also influenced by the Aries/Libra Nodal Axis still in its beginning moments. In a nuanced way something is shifting Globally, for many of us. This is getting played out in relationship to ourself and in relationship to each other particularly as we go about the daily rhythms of the mundane reality of our everyday life.
Jupiter the planet of law, justice and the magnification of growth is in wide conjunction with Uranus in Taurus. This combination conjure up a mixture of comprehensive awareness that could be perceived as incomprehensible. The Sun in Leo and Venus Rx in Leo are square to the Jupiter/ Uranus wide conjunction presents fascinating ideas through orchestrated situations as amazing as the design of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
The combined relationships of all these planets and signs opens the doorway to solving problems and finding solutions we might never have thought of.
Could be the time for a whole lot of earthy Justice, peace and understanding to go down. Or not.
So as we continue on thru this Moon and it’s powerful waning cycle, especially as things may feel a bit frustrating at times, focus on your breath. So that with mindfulness and loving kindness. Then just breathe into the power of being fully present. Like NOW. This very moment. No matter what cycle of the Moon or what moment you are in in your life. Do it! This very moment.
This moment 8/4/2023 thru the signs ~
Aries ~ It’s a moment of quiet humility. Not an experience that comes easy to fiery Aries. However, allow yourself to settle into this moment and you will receive the guidance of new knowledge. Awareness of ideas, concepts and an understanding of how to apply them to your life and to how to work with others.
Taurus ~ Becoming aware of a changing understanding concerning money, finance and basic resources. Rx Venus in Leo opposing Saturn in Aquarius can feel a bit restrictive, however it’s always there to support balance and common sense. There is a desire to go big and be expansive which gets pulled back by the tension of the square. Rx Venus in Leo forms to Jupiter widely conjunct Uranus in Taurus. Be aware that you are learning much. The bit of contraction you might be feeling now will support further expansion of freedom later on.
Gemini ~ The focus is about how you handle yourself when finding yourself in situations that require your commitment to acts of service that express random acts of kindness and untold beauty. At the same time be mindful of what your hearts desire is hinting at in terms of your own needs. Always remember to breathe, focus and stay connected to the present moment.
Cancer ~ This is a useful time for practical pursuits. Projects that have been near completion can be completed now. Being motivated by the energies of heaven and earth, this cycle of the waning Moon is aligned with your nurturing energies. It supports slow, steady progress moving forward.

Libra ~ As your domain of love, beauty, balance and integrity is fired up with the heart of Leo moving Rx through your ruling planet, Venus, creating a sparkling. Still and all, a useful moment to sort through some relationships from the past. Albeit, Saturn’s opposition to Venus and Venus’s square to Uranus brings some mellow somber tones along with keeping in check impulsive actions. To enjoy this moment while at the same time learning and expanding your horizons makes this a potent time of healing and integration.
Scorpio ~ This is a pivotal moment of progress, making it a transformative time. This could be appearing as challenges and detours.

A collage of color to motivate your somber soul towards a new understanding of humanity awaits you.

Pisces ~ It’s a ripe moment to connect the birthing of evolutionary consciousness to solid earth bound mundane reality . It’s a splendid time for manifesting your goals with and your deepest dreams. Begin by taking some time to write it down, date it. Then think about an action you can take now to get things going. It could be a very small thing. Or very big.
