Funny thing: I refreshed the whole look of Strong at Midlife before I even realized today was the Lion’s Gate Portal a day associated with new beginnings and manifesting. Felt like the universe was already one step ahead of me. 😄 Quick context if you’ve seen the term floating around: the Lion’s Gate happens every year on 8/8, during Leo season, when the star Sirius is said to align closely with Earth and the sun. Ancient Egyptians tracked this same alignment thousands of years ago as a sacred, powerful time. Spiritually, today’s treated as a high-energy window for manifesting setting intentions and clearing out what’s not serving you. A simple way to work with it: 1️⃣ Release — write down one thing you’re ready to let go of. 2️⃣ Set an intention — be specific about what you’re calling in. 3️⃣ Take one action — today. Manifesting is declaring, then moving. New look, new energy, new season. Let’s go. 🦁✨
