As if 2024 didn’t have enough celestial activity already, August seems to be amping up the zodiac signs’ energies at top speed.
Beginning the month with the new moon on August 4 and Mercury retrograde in Virgo on August 5, we are also in the middle of the Lion’s Gate Portal (July 28 – August 12), which peaks on August 8 (8:8). Adding this year’s number 8 (2+0+2+4 = 8) to the mix makes it thrice as powerful (8:8:8).
What is the Lion’s Gate Portal?
A magical doorway opens as the Sun, Earth, Orion’s Belt, and Sirius align in the sign of Leo, allowing an influx of high-frequency vibrations to create a personal hotline to the universe. Here’s everything the zodiac signs need to know about harnessing this energy optimally for approximately the next 20 years—yes, that’s how long the effect of this occurrence will last.
Aries
New career opportunities, paying off debts, and timely resources making their way to you are just some of the many blessings headed your way. You create best when you have fun, so choose to create a lighthearted life for yourself—everything else will automatically follow. Take a moment to find the things you once prayed for already in your life and get excited about them again.
Taurus
This next phase in your life is here to show you how to live through love: inculcating more patience, choosing to be kind over being right, and balancing your emotions before you erupt like a volcano. Take a moment to journal about the ways in which you feel loved and would like to feel loved in your life to settle your head.
Gemini
You are entering a phase in which you will discover and embrace new aspects of your personality. Moving from thriving purely on the mental plane to becoming more heart-centered, expect yourself to be surprised with newer levels of empathy and emotions. New life paths are unfolding, resulting in paradigm shifts in your career, personal life, inner worlds, or all of the above.
Cancer
There’s lots to do, and you are not shying away from it anymore. Fearlessly cutting away all that you are done with, you usher in a new soul cycle where you step in like a leader, assertively voicing your opinion and needs, exploring new places, and raking in that security that is so well deserved. Focus on reminding yourself that you are naturally worthy and that your new life begins now.
Leo
Embrace a healing journey of balance, creation, and vitality, where opportunities appear effortlessly. Experience a positive transformation of mind, body, and spirit as you prioritize holistic wellness. Harness the power of the law of attraction to manifest your deepest aspirations. Plant a vision of what a balanced life feels like to let it bloom in the next decade or so.
Virgo
Your next phase may ignite a powerful transformation, where only what can evolve with you will endure, while the rest will turn to ashes. It’s as if your soul is nearing the final milestone, crossing from turbulent waters to calmer, more peaceful shores. Anticipate emotional balance, authentic connections, and perhaps even proposals or other significant commitments in the years ahead.
Libra
Your ability to sink into the depths of your heart while keeping your head above the water is likely to reap rewards. You’re leaving emotional struggles, trauma, and even conditioned beliefs behind, choosing to move forward fully in tune with yourself. Expect sudden shifts to occur in your life and your innate wisdom to guide you forward in the most creative manner.
Scorpio
Renewed confidence, clarity, and self-respect are highlighted for you. Gratefully and gracefully bow down to all that has served you well when you needed it most and turn around and look forward to what is to come. You don’t see too many mentors around because you are pioneering something new—a belief, a career, a life. Do it lightheartedly but sure-footedly for optimal results.
Sagittarius
Your personal life and relationships take the lead in this new phase of life. You may be on a quest to discover the deeper meaning of life and to engage with it more meaningfully—even professionally. But what keeps you anchored is the security you receive from your core relationships. As you venture on to find stability and growth in more significant ways, remember to use your voice assertively.
Capricorn
In healing yourself, you heal the past and the future, and this magical epiphany changes the game for you forever.

Safety and security for you and your loved ones are guaranteed.
Aquarius
No more procrastinating or holding back as you step into your golden time. Expect magic to imbue one random evening, where all illusions and limitations fall away and you quantum leap into the next phase of your life. You have discovered yourself enough—now it’s time for you to take the lead and step out into the world. Become a torchbearer and light the way for others just as you do for yourself.
Pisces
A significant step forward in your finances through focusing on your track is guaranteed. Balancing emotional and mental considerations will help you temper your glass effortlessly and efficiently. Waltz your way through your next big moment in life and gear up to receive the recognition and accolades you so deserve.
