Join us during this Leo season to connect with your inner self expression and creative power. With the full moon in Aquarius, this axis, when integrated properly can help us reflect on how we express ourselves as unique individuals in a way that contributes to the well-being and benefit of the larger communities. It’s a great time to reflect on your place in this world and how you want to walk on your own path.
8/8 is also known as the Lion’s Gate portal. This refers to a period of time when the power of Sirius (the brightest star in the sky) is believed to be activated by the Sun. On 8/8 the Sun, Sirius, Orion, and Earth completely align with each other creating an auspiciously lucky and powerful time to reflect on your past to release any traumas/fears/etc and to embrace the person you are creating, set goals for the future, and move forward with gratitude.
Join us in this intentional space to connect with the moon and the energy of this portal through meaningful conversation, sound, and community.
Bring a pen, paper, something to add to the altar and whatever else you may feel called to charge up under this full moon energy.
