Lionsgate Portal: Cosmic Energy Unleashed

Ever wonder why August feels so energetically charged? The answer lies in the stars—specifically, in the powerful cosmic alignment known as the Lionsgate Portal. This extraordinary celestial event occurs when the sun in Leo perfectly aligns with Sirius (the spiritual sun) and Orion's Belt, creating a direct channel of divine energy streaming to Earth.

From July 26th to August 12th, with the pinnacle occurring on August 8th, this cosmic gateway throws open the doors to enhanced manifestation, spiritual connection, and personal transformation. As your astrologer Kate Leonard explains, the fixed star Sirius isn't just any star—it's considered a boundary between our realm and the divine, making this alignment particularly potent for those seeking recognition, clarity, and heightened intuition.

The beauty of the Lionsgate Portal lies in its versatility. Whether you're seeking external recognition and fame or deeper self-understanding and spiritual growth, this cosmic energy supports your intentions. Work with the energy by basking in sunlight while setting intentions, performing nighttime rituals under Sirius' bright glow, creating vision boards, or simply bringing sunflowers into your home to honor the sun's energy. For those sensitive to cosmic influences, Kate offers practical advice on staying grounded—from barefoot walks to carrying tiger's eye or black tourmaline.

While this cosmic doorway offers tremendous opportunity, remember it doesn't exist in isolation. This year's portal coincides with a challenging Mercury retrograde and Uranus in Gemini, potentially amplifying dramatic and rebellious energies. Understanding these influences helps you navigate any challenges while still harnessing the portal's beneficial aspects.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Hello and welcome to Pisces Moon Astrology.
I'm your astrologer, kateLeonard, and I'm excited to
explore the stars with you.
Hi everyone, welcome to thepromised bonus episode for the
Lionsgate portal.
How excited are we to do thisthing?
I'm excited, I hope you'reexcited.

(00:23):
And, before we even get into it, I want to thank you for being
here.
I want to thank you to myinternational listeners and, of
course, my fellow US people whoare here, and I really want to
ask you if you would do me asolid and whatever app you're
listening in, will you scroll towherever it is and give me a

(00:46):
five rating so that other peoplecan find the show and share.
That's all I got.
Thank you for doing thosethings.
It would just really help meand I'd be really grateful.
And now let's talk about theLionsgate.
All right, so just for thedates.
Of course, the exact date, orthe date when the degrees are

(01:07):
exact, is August 8th.
Okay, so that's the pinnacle ofthe energy, but the portal is
open from about July 26th and Iknow there's some debate on that
.
I even kind of waffled on it inmy last episode.
Some people say it opened onthe 26th, some say it opened on

(01:29):
the 28th.
I looked at it.
I think the 28th is probably abetter date, but honestly, the
cosmos don't work like that andwhen we're dealing with fixed
stars, which we are, they're sofar away that really that level
of precision doesn't actuallymatter.
So you do you.

(01:49):
I'm going to say the portal isopen from July 26th to about
August 12th.
All right, and, like I said,that sweet, perfect day is
August 8th.
Now let's get into what theLionsgate portal actually is and
what we should all be doingabout it.
So what the Lionsgate is, ithappens every year.

(02:13):
It is when the sun in Leo linesup perfectly with fixed star
Sirius, which is known somepeople call it the spiritual sun
.
Okay, it's a fixed star, not aplanet, at least astrologically

(02:34):
and with Orion's belt.
So it's the sun in Leo, fixedstar Sirius and Orion's belt,
and the earth, of course, andthe earth.
These are all lined up, alltalking to each other.
It's a giant surge of energythat is like shooting from the

(02:56):
gods.
We'll talk about why I'm sayingthat From the gods straight to
earth.
It is profound, it is powerfuland we can all tap into its
energy.
So first let's talk about whata fixed star is.
When ancient astrologers andastronomers.
I don't know if they were allone in the same back then or not

(03:18):
.
Anyway, when all those ancientpeople were looking up at the
sky, they called the planetsmoving stars because every night
when they would go out, theycould see that they were in a
different place.
But the fixed stars, because ofcosmic distance, never seem to
move right.
They are so far away that wedon't perceive them as changing

(03:40):
position.
And then the realm beyond thefixed stars was the domain of
the gods.
So the fixed stars, though theydo have influence on us, they
also communicate with the gods.
It's interesting.
This goes way back to likeancient Babylonia.
So the fixed stars being soclose to the gods, of course

(04:04):
really powerful, and Sirius isthe brightest star, and then
we've got the sun and Ryan'sbelt, the whole thing.
You see what I'm saying.
And it's all streaming down toEarth and to us.
So I end every show tellingeverybody to seize the energies

(04:25):
of the stars.
This is really a time that wecan access this profound cosmic
energy.
So what is it good for?
Well, think about it, it's thesun, and the spiritual sun.
So we can set intentions, wecan let go of limiting beliefs,

(04:49):
we can work on all kinds ofenhancing intuition, all of that
stuff.
But think recognition, thinkstanding in the spotlight.
This is about claiming yourplace in the sun.
It's about having your workrecognized, your self recognized
, being seen for who you trulyare, tapping into energy to see

(05:14):
yourself clearly.
For those of us who strugglewith self-esteem or feeling like
we don't always trulyunderstand ourselves, this is a
time that you can do that kindof inner work too.
Standing in the sun, standingin the spotlight, doesn't have
to be always for other peopleright.

(05:35):
It can be our own recognitionof our own talents worth.
So this is just a really,really good energy.
But for anybody who wantsliteral fame, public recognition
, you want your work recognized,whatever it is, that sort of

(05:56):
thing brilliant.
This says fame.
But also if you want to reachspiritual heights, if you want
to get that feeling that you'vemoved your energy, your
spiritual practice or levelhowever you want to say that,
I'm not quite sure how to saythat but if you want to feel
like you are literally standingon the mountaintop, your arms

(06:20):
reaching to the heavens and justtapping in to spirit, whatever
you call it the universe, god,deity, the universal flow, you
know, whatever you want to callit.
However, you perceive thatthing that is bigger than us in
some way.
This is a time that we have,like direct access.

(06:45):
So it's amazing.
It's a time that we can alsowork on intuitive building, our
intuitive skills, our psychicdevelopment, because it's a
direct channel to the gods.
It's a little bit easier toaccess other realms, right, it's

(07:06):
like the sun is shining,lighting our way.
It's so good, everybody.
It is so, so good and soimportant.
So what do we do?
How do we get into all of this?
That depends on your practice.
Some people can access thisenergy by going out during these

(07:27):
dates, while we've got thisportal open, and literally being
in the sun and sort of you know, being.
What is that?
Like a sun worshiper, right,going out and just basking in
the light of the sun and sort ofsaying your intentions, just
speaking it to the sun, to thelight.

(07:49):
So it's a form of manifestingor a little bit of witchy
spellcasting, depending on howyou want to look at it.
Okay, you can also go out atnight because, sirius, you know,
while the sun is not out atnight, the spiritual sun is, and
you can go out at night and youcan do shadow work.

(08:10):
I know that seemscounterintuitive, since we're
talking about sun, but sincewe're also talking about a star,
right, we can try to releaseblocks that keep us from
standing in our power and takingthe spotlight, but even at
night, sirius is the brighteststar in the sky, so we can

(08:32):
channel that light.
Saying our prayers, speaking ouraffirmations, speaking our
incantations, whatever it is youdo to access your spiritual
practices involved, they can allwork here.
Just think about the energy ofthe Lion's Gate, right, this

(08:55):
giant.
It's like Leo energy, but morethan that Leo, god energy.
I don't even know how to say itto make it sound big enough.
It's so big, it's so big.
Now, do be aware that duringthis time, it's a high energy
time and especially if you'resensitive and intuitive, you may

(09:17):
really be feeling.
I find it's better, especiallyif you're super sensitive.
I find it's better to work withit.
Do something, do a vision board, manifestation, light candles.
You know.
Again, do whatever it is thatyou do in that way.
I got some candles on my altarand let me tell you I got some

(09:40):
stuff that's ready to go, butyou do you.
I just find that however youchoose to work with it.
The more sensitive you are toenergy, the more essential it is
that you work with it directly,and the reason for that is the
energy is big.
One way or another use it ordon't use it, and so what it can

(10:01):
do is kind of drain you or, ifyou're not in it, and kind of
playing in it.
It can bring on some fatigue,it can disturb your sleep, it
can even, for some people I'veheard, make them feel a little
bit spacey.
Some people are going to benoticing that they're having

(10:21):
really vivid dreams.
So expect downloads during thistime.
Right.
It is literally like from therealm of the gods, through the
cosmos, energy coming straightto us.
So expect downloads, whetherthat's in dreams or while you're
meditating or you know, justout of the blue, where you just

(10:44):
get a knowing that just comes toyou.
Those things can absolutelyhappen.
Now, again, if you're reallysensitive, you might work on
some grounding kinds ofpractices.
Whatever you do, just go outand put your bare feet on the
ground.
Sometimes that's enough to doit.
Carry tiger's eye crystal withyou or black tourmaline, right.

(11:10):
Those kinds of things that'llhelp keep you grounded.
This is only for people who youknow get really seriously
affected by this kind of cosmicenergy.
Most of us don't need to put abunch of rocks in our pockets,
but there are those people whojust working consciously to stay

(11:30):
very grounded can be a goodthing.
Okay, if you want other crystalsto help you channel this energy
and help you if you're acrystal person, right, citrine
and amber, those are both tunedinto this manifestation energy

(11:51):
and clarity.
Think of sunstone, garnet andcarnelian.
If you're working on thingslike standing in your own power,
having the courage to go for it, whatever the it is, you know
what the it is.
Yeah, bring sunflowers intoyour home, you know.
Or yellow flowers of any kind,you know.

(12:13):
Just honor the energy of the sun, just doing that, even if
you're not setting intentions orcasting spells or, you know,
praying to deities or whateverthat some of us are going to get
into, I got to admit it, evenif you're not doing any of that
stuff, celebrate the sun,celebrate truth and clarity and

(12:38):
brightness, celebrate ourconnection to the cosmos, our
connection to things bigger thanus, bigger than where we just
sort of stand every day.
Sometimes we forget that we areconnected to so, so much energy

(13:00):
.
And again, it doesn't matter,you wanna think of it as the
cosmos, the universe, god,goddess.
It doesn't matter how you thinkabout it.
This is a good time to justsort of be grateful for and
celebrate and tap into thatsense that there's just there's

(13:20):
more and that, as children ofthe universe, that more is
available to us.
It's a big time.
I can't even do it justice.
I don't feel like you know, Ifeel like I could talk for hours
and hours.
Whole workshops are done onLionsgate and Lionsgate Portal.
Now one last thing, and Ipromise to keep this short

(13:42):
because this is just a bonusepisode, right?
One last thing, but theLionsgate Portal is not the only
thing going on.
We still have one of theharshest mercury retrogrades I
think I've ever experienced.
Harshest Mercury retrogrades Ithink I've ever experienced.
So, depending on how that'saffecting you and the people

(14:02):
around you, with all of thissupercharged star quality energy
, might you run into some dramaqueens?
Oh boy, howdy, you so might.
What about Uranus in Gemini?
You know all of that rebelenergy that you know.
Let's get out there and shakethings up.

(14:25):
Is that going to be like onhyperdrive?
You bet it is.
It's a lot.
So I only point those things outto remind you that there is
this Lionsgate portal.
It's super good for you, know,doing your manifestation work or
whatever it is, but do knowthat it's not just because, like

(14:47):
, during those dates, oh, it'sgoing to only be standing in the
sun.
Yeah, there's other stuff goingon as well, but it's a pretty
glorious time.
I love it a lot.
So I'm going to kind of leavethat there.
It's a lot, yeah, but ifnothing else, enjoy the sun,
maybe, set some intentions,speak some words of power.

(15:10):
You do you.
I know it's going to be perfectand I know you're going to
benefit from it.
And again, thank you so muchfor being here.
And if you could share thepodcast and if you could rate it
really high, oh, my goodness, Iwould be so grateful.
But either way, just thank youfor being here and until I talk
to you later this week, go outand seize the energies of the

(15:34):
stars, the moving ones and thefixed ones.
This is my wish for you alwayshave an amazing portal
experience.
Bye.
