The Lion's Gate Portal opened on July 29th, peaks on August 8th, and closes on August 12th. During this time, Earth, the Sun in Leo, and the star Sirius align, resulting in a charged period that's ripe with creative and ambitious energy. This heightened energy makes it an opportune time for manifestation and pushing toward a transformative change.
We've pulled three cards from the Green Glyphs Tarot to guide us during this time, and with the theme of courageous transformation in mind, we asked:
What is my strength?
Two of wands is a card that symbolizes forward momentum, planning, and strategizing your moves. It represents carefully nurturing a new creative spark. You are great at supporting a vision with a structured, methodical approach. Lean into this natural ability as you move through the Lion's Gate Portal.
What is holding me back?
Knight of swords is overworked, impulsive and stubborn. This card appears when you are avoiding plans and unable to collaborate. This card is a gentle reminder to rest, listen to your limitations and be kind to yourself. When you feel friction, refocus your energy inward and soften yourself. Instead of trying to force your vision into a limited landscape, ask how you can incorporate the unique characteristics of your team/materials/environment into your vision.
What will change/What is the outcome?
Seven of Cups represents clarity of purpose, making decisions, and positive thoughts. This card shows up when you need a second wind by validating the path you chose. What might feel uncertain or vague now will reappear with crisp edges and vibrancy.
This outcome will be made possible if you are courageous enough to surrender your convictions in order to work more effectively with your surroundings. Practice being out of your comfort zone and you will be rewarded with clarity of purpose.
