Have you ever felt a cosmic shift in early August — like something within you is stirring, ready to rise?
That might be the Lion’s Gate Portal opening: a powerful astrological and energetic alignment that invites us to supercharge our intentions and activate our creative energy.
At Happy Herb Co, we pay deep reverence to this moment in the celestial calendar. We use it as a time to align our company vision with our higher purpose — and to ride that momentum in our personal lives too. This year, our CEO & Herbal Visionary Laura is guiding us through the entire Lion’s Gate window with a journey that’s practical, potent, and plant-powered. FOLLOW THE JOURNEY ON INSTA @happyherbco
We’re drawing on the archetypal energy of three powerful goddesses — Sekhmet, Isis, and Durga — to help us embody this transformation. And of course, we’re weaving in our favourite herbal allies to support the process.
Because while this galactic magic may be about the stars, the Lion’s Gate is less about where the stars are... and more about where you are — and where you're ready to go.
So what is the Lion's Gate Portal?
Each year around August 8, the Sun in Leo aligns with Sirius (the brightest star in our sky), along with the Earth and Orion’s Belt. This creates what’s known as the Lion’s Gate Portal — a cosmic window believed to heighten spiritual connection, clarity, and manifestation energy.
Sirius has been honoured by ancient cultures for thousands of years — especially in Egypt, where its rising symbolised rebirth, fertility, and new beginnings. Its appearance marked the flooding of the Nile and the Egyptian New Year. Modern mystics coined the term Lion’s Gate to describe this energetic opening — combining ancient sky lore, Leo’s heart-fire, and the numerological power of 8/8 for infinite potential.
This sacred alignment is thought to open a quantum bridge — a powerful gateway that invites you to:
✨ Reflect on your soul’s purpose
🔥 Release what no longer serves you
🌟 Rise into your highest self
The 3 Stages of the Lion’s Gate Portal
This year, we’re guiding our community through three sacred stages of the Lion’s Gate journey — infused with herbs, goddess energy, and intentional ritual.
Steps:
-
Open the Portal with Sekhmet
Step into sacred space and turn inward. Sekhmet, the fierce Egyptian lioness goddess of transformation, helps you reflect on what truly matters, clearing noise and clutter so your soul’s purpose can rise to the surface.
Ritual Focus: Purification, Release, Courage
Herbal Allies: Purifying Blends, Nervines, Protective Herbs -
Peak with Isis the Alchemist
On 8/8, we meet the Lion’s Gate zenith with Isis — goddess of magic, wisdom, and manifestation. Here, we release limiting patterns and old stories, making space for divine co-creation and empowered visioning.
Ritual Focus: Visualise, Ceremony, Affirmation
Herbal Allies: Nootropics, Heart-Openers, Intuitive Herbs -
Embody with Durga
Now is the time to act. Durga channels inner strength and fierce feminine power, reminding us that rising into your highest self means anchoring your vision through aligned, embodied action.
Ritual Focus: Grounded Action, Daily Embodiment, Resilience
Herbal Allies: Adaptogens, Tonics, Energy Balancers
