In this potent episode, we dive deep into the cosmic collision of the Aquarius Full Moon and the Lions Gate Portal — a powerful energetic gateway that’s all about activation, elevation and unapologetic alignment.

As the Sun in Leo connects with Sirius and the Aquarius Moon lights up the sky, we explore what it really means to break free from old systems, reclaim your sacred weirdness and start broadcasting a frequency that’s actually yours.

Hi my love,

I’m recording live from my retreat Recharge & Renew with 6 incredible women here in Ubud Bali.

This retreat was timed with divine precision, aligning with the Lions Gate, when the Sun in Leo and the star Sirius flood the Earth with light, clarity, and cosmic remembrance. This isn’t just a moment — it’s a soul reset.

The Lions Gate opens the channel for deep energetic upgrades, and here, in this intentional space, you’re invited to release the weight of the past, realign with your heart’s deepest truth, and recharge from the inside out. This is more than rest, this is recalibration. A return to the you who was never lost just waiting for the right light to rise.

This lion’s gate is unique for the Lions Gate Portal peaking right alongside the Aquarius Full Moon.

This combo? Big. Bold. Charged up. Absolutely not subtle.

Let’s break it down.

So every year around August 8th, we experience what’s called the Lions Gate Portal — a potent energetic alignment where the Sun in Leo, the star Sirius, and the Earth all align. Sirius is this super high-frequency star — the “Spiritual Sun” — and it’s rising in the sky just before dawn this time of year, which ancient Egyptians actually used to mark the start of their New Year.

Think of it like a cosmic WiFi upgrade: The Lions Gate opens a channel for higher consciousness, intuition boosts, and manifestation energy. Like, third-eye wide open kinda stuff.

And since the Sun is in Leo (the sign of courage, heart, and personal expression) it’s asking you:

“What are you really here to do? And are you finally ready to step up and live it out loud?”

Now add this: a Full Moon in Aquarius landing on or just around this same time?

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus — the planet of shakeups, innovation, liberation, and cosmic downloads. It’s the rebel, the visionary, the outsider who sees the system and says, “Nope. We can do better.”

So this Moon isn’t just about lighting candles and charging crystals.

It’s likely going to bring a few plot twists. Expect surprising insights, truth bombs, or sudden emotional shifts — especially around friendships, community, and your role in the collective.

Aquarius governs “the group,” but it doesn’t want you to blend in. It wants you to contribute something only you can bring. If you’ve been hiding your genius, your voice, or your vision — this Moon is calling it out of you.

So ask yourself:

Who are my people now?

This is a brilliant time to call in aligned friendships, communities, collaborators. I love this especially recording this on retreat day 4 here in Bali after a fun evening of girl chat and uno. Even if you’ve felt isolated, Aquarius energy reminds you: You’re not meant to do this alone.

This is also a Moon of emotional intelligence on a higher frequency. Aquarius doesn’t swim in feelings like Pisces or dig through emotional caves like Scorpio it observes from above. That doesn’t mean it’s cold = it’s clarifying. If you’ve been too entangled in other people’s emotions, expectations, or chaos, this Moon gives you the distance to see clearly. It’s the kind of clarity that says, “That’s not mine to carry,” and releases the weight without guilt. This is something huge we’ve been working through this week on retreats especially being an empathetic and naturally a giver and generous.

Alright, let’s bring this down to Earth.

This Full Moon + Lions Gate combo is the Universe asking:

“Where have you been dimming your weird? Holding back your vision? Playing it safe with your truth?”

Because Aquarius doesn’t care about keeping the peace.

Leo energy fuels the why: your heart’s desire, your creative spark, your unapologetic self-expression. Aquarius energy provides the how: innovation, detachment from old narratives, and a bird’s-eye view of what’s really possible.

If you feel anxious, wired, or even a little overwhelmed this week that’s not a sign to suppress. It’s energy moving. Let it move. Journal. Dance. Cry it out. Aquarius is air.

Furthermore Aquarius reminds you that your weird is sacred. Leo, through the Lions Gate, reminds you that your heart is the transmitter. Aquarius asks, “What are you broadcasting?” and Leo answers, “Make sure it’s coming from truth, not ego.” This moment isn’t about being loud just to be seen… it’s about being honest enough to be known. When Aquarius and Leo team up, they challenge you to live in radical alignment with your soul frequency; not for approval, not for performance, but because you simply can’t not.

This is personal revolution meets heart activation.

Lions Gate is solar energy all about light codes, courage, royalty, and creative power. It says, “You already are the main character — start acting like it.” Combine that with Aquarius, and we’re not just talking personal glow ups. We’re talking soul leadership. You being so unapologetically you that it actually liberates others to do the same.

So ask yourself: are you putting out a signal that reflects who you really are? Or are you distorting your frequency to fit the mold, shrink the truth, or avoid rocking the boat? Leo says you deserve to shine. Aquarius says: but only if it’s real.

So as the Aquarius Full Moon illuminates the sky and the Lions Gate floods us with light codes, remember this: you’re not here to follow the script — you’re here to write your own. Stay weird, stay brave, stay heart-led.
