The Lion’s Gate Portal happens every year in late July and early August. It’s a powerful time astrologically that can really shake things up in your life. But with high highs often come low lows.
You may have noticed that around this time, you feel extra emotional, exhausted, or just off. So, if every year around late July and early August, you feel like you’re not quite yourself, the Lion’s Gate Portal could be to blame. It’s a real thing that affects a lot of people during that period.
What Is The Lion’s Gate Portal?
The Lion’s Gate Portal is an astrological alignment that occurs every year between July 26th and August 12th. During that time, the sun lines up with Sirius, which is the brightest star you can see in the sky. And this alignment is supposed to flood the Earth with focused energy, which some people believe opens up this “portal” that activates spiritual and inner awakening.
When the Lion’s Gate Portal opens, some people say they notice effects on their mind and body. In your mind, you may find you have more clarity and awareness. Your intuition could get stronger too, and you may get profound insights or messages about spiritual things. Emotionally, you may feel irritable, anxious, or moody as buried feelings start coming up. Physically, people report headaches, fatigue, super vivid dreams, or feeling restless.
Also, during this time, lots of people say they have a temporary boost in psychic abilities like being clairvoyant, clairaudient, or being able to sense things clearly. You may get intuitive hits about future events or gain insight into situations you don’t normally understand. Dreams could become more vivid or feel prophetic.
Common Physical Side Effects
Going through the Lion’s Gate portal opening can drain your energy. All those cosmic vibes flooding in during the portal can zap you, leaving you feeling wiped out. You may find yourself needing more rest and downtime than usual. Don’t try to fight it – your body and mind need time to absorb all those powerful energies. Just go with the flow and let yourself recover.
Headaches And Dizziness
As your crown and third eye chakras start to open up more, you might feel some pressure or pain in your head. The energies moving around in there can also cause you to feel a bit lightheaded or dizzy every now and then. Make sure to drink plenty of water, take breaks from screens, and do some grounding things like going for walks outside.
Sleep Disturbances
Many people, including myself, have been having issues with their sleep around this Lion’s Gate time period. They’ll wake up and have a hard time drifting back off, or they’ll sleep but it feels really restless. And the dreams could be so many weird and intense.
This is all pretty normal when this portal is open. Your body and mind are just adjusting to the energy. It’s only temporary and once the portal passes, your sleep will go back to how it usually is.
Digestive Issues
The solar plexus chakra is also stimulated during this time, which can lead to digestive upset like nausea, cramping, bloating or diarrhea in some people. Be gentle with your diet, go light on sugar, caffeine and super processed things if you can. Keep yourself hydrated and nourish your body with fresh, wholesome foods – it’ll make this whole process much kinder on your insides.
The Lion’s Gate Portal can sometimes cause some temporary side effects, such as feeling dizzy, stomach problems, headaches or trouble sleeping. But those kinds of things usually won’t last too long. They tend to go away as the portal starts to close.
Emotional And Spiritual Effects
Don’t be surprised if you feel more emotional or irritable around the Lion’s Gate. Things from the past that you’ve pushed down could start bubbling up, bringing with it anger, sadness, or anxiety. Your mood might be all over the place, too, leaving you feeling like you can’t get a handle on your feelings. Don’t be too hard on yourself if that happens – it’s all part of the process around now.
Spiritual Awakenings
For many lightworkers and spiritual seekers, the Lion’s Gate brings profound spiritual openings and awakenings. You may experience intense dreams, visions, synchronicities or moments of intuition around this time. Pay attention to any messages you get during this time, as they could contain wisdom about your spiritual journey.
Some people even report out-of-body experiences, meeting spiritual guides, or feeling super connected to the universe. If that happens to you, don’t stress. Just go with it while also staying grounded so you don’t get too overwhelmed. These experiences are meant to speed up your personal growth and help you be of greater service to others.

Make sure to take even just a few minutes each morning or evening to connect with your higher power however works best for you – through prayer, meditation, doing some art or writing in a journal.
