Twin Flame Energy Forecast August 4th-10th: "The Lion's Gate"
Entering The 8/8 Portal Of Soul Remembrance And Major Manifestation Potential - But There's A Cost. Your Soul And The Universe Say: "The Past And False Masks Of Self Must Go". Pluto Opposition & Full Moon Put Pressure On...
Welcome into a brand new week in the cosmic energies!
Highlights this week include:
Lion's Gate 8/8 portal opens to an influx of light codes and timeline shifts... But it also pushes for a deep breakthrough that will shake up both you and the world.
Happening with Mercury Retrograde, and with Pluto retrograde and Full Moon in opposition, this star gate calls for soul remembrance, and it means no more game playing.
Mars opposition Neptune/Saturn shows us any challenges are directly trying to awaken you.
The Universal message? Anything that's not aligned with your authentic soul truth is being rattled to leave - including old masks of self, ideas, people, circumstances and systems.

A Week Of Awakening - Differently
We're headed into a potent week of shifts, transformations and awakening.
However, the way there may not be of the fluffy, cosy, "make a wish" variety.
Like the Lion Rising, you may need to call on courage and a deeper strength than you knew you had in you. Sound dramatic and like a struggle you'd rather avoid? I get it.
Spirit says, the key is: You already ARE your soul, infinite and powerful!
The Truth About Lion's Gate
It means that you don't have to muster up strength or courage.
It's there, once you stop feeding into the idea that you don't have it!
This sums up the week, they feel.
It's about detaching from the "constructed self", where we think - or were taught - that we're limited, flawed, unworthy, not capable of living our dream, and similar.
8/8 Code - Sirian “Star Portal”
You may see online the idea that 8/8 is a portal of manifestation or abundance - but it's truly much deeper. It's about soul re-connection and soul remembrance.
(Please don't let anyone convince you that can only effectively manifest your desires on certain days of the year!)
Also known as the Sirius portal, the 8/8 Lion's Gate has been celebrated since Ancient Egypt and before. Pyramids were constructed in its honor as this star/constellation aligned on 8/8 each year.
(The pyramids of Giza align with Orion's belt, including Sirius).
Known as a time of bridging into higher realms, this time was said to bring a direct connection between the earth plane and the divine...
Opening To A New Beginning
So it is a heightened portal of not ONLY manifestation and spiritual power…
But remembrance and bringing “online” facets and gifts of the soul and the highest aspects of self - and the higher dimensional Twin Flame templates.
We start off the week with this energy opening and blossoming gradually and increasing throughout.
This year, however, the Lion's gate could feel more demanding than in the past, as the soul works to rattle us out of any illusions we have bought into.
We'll get into that in a minute.
A Star Gift Activation
I was asked to channel a star activation ceremony for the Twin Flame collective, especially for this time.
A gateway ceremony with deep activations of latent soul gifts, coding and light origin link-ups, and the ancient "forgotten" Masculine/Feminine 3D physical union template from Ancient Egypt and more...

“I was very heavy for weeks and felt drawn to the Star Activation. I decide to jump in and now I feel SO different afterwards. I feel 100 times lighter now. I really felt my twin there as we did the clearing on both of us, and I got a text from him as soon as it ended!!!!! The same night, I dreamed that we were together and I feel this huge shift has happened between us. Thank you so much!!! It’s really making a big diffeence ”

Why Things Get "Worse" Before Gateways
In advance of any major gateway, we have a purge of old outworn, dense, lower material coming up.
This is in order to help us be open to any incoming light codes and the new and higher timelines that become accessible at the peak of the gateway.
If you feel down, uncertain, worried or as if things have gotten "worse" lately, it's due to this push for purging from your soul.
Whatever you do, don't accept these negatives as "real".
Echoes Of The Past
They are echoes and remnants of the past coming up in order to be released!
If you detach, allow them to leave and stay open to a higher state, you will "up-level" now in a major way - including in your Twin Flame connection.
For help with this cleansing process and tapping into the higher potential of the 8/8 portal, I would recommend going through the Star Activation Ceremony here.
Your Etheric Wings? Fire Letters?
We go through so much powerful and deep work, including:
Activating your etheric wings as a pair, your fire letter "inscribed soul promise" to one another made before birth...
Bringing online your soul protection, higher codes of unity, dropping out shadow timelines, downloading and integrating the fully balanced Masculine/Feminine 3D unity template which has lain dormant since the ancients, and so much more.
In short, it's a ceremony to take you through opening to more of your highest, as a pair, and to bring you closer together.
I am so excited to hear from you about your experiences with this!
Mars Enters Libra - Balancing Act
One of the complicating factors this week, is that we have Mars entering Libra... Into an opposition with Saturn and Neptune which are both retrograde.
In Libra, Mars is the furthest away from "himself", and you're asked to balance action with receiving, self and personal identity with the whole/pair.
It could mean the Masculine Twin seems somewhat out of sorts or less sure of themselves than usual.
With the oppositions, you could experience themes around feeling stuck or opposed.
Really, it's a reactivation of old wounds and karma around feeling unsupported by authority figures in your life and in society, and by the divine.
Another key theme would be feeling abandoned by your Twin Flame or their higher self, or by your guides/the Universe.
How To Handle This
What to remember: This is a reactivation of something (false) from the past, and it's coming up to be released during the Lion's gate portal.
It could even be it's not "yours", but human historical karma relating to the veil of perception - believing that we are abandoned by the divine.
However, even if it's not really YOURS - if it's coming up for you, you will have to clear it from your system in order to fully transcend that pattern.
The Truth Beyond Separation
Why would you bother?
Because the TRUTH that lies beyond it is that you are never separate from divine support, your Twin Flame's love and your highest.
The idea that those things are far from you or can be taken away, is the illusion.
And the belief that it's real, is a core reason of why it sticks around.
Have a look here for the Hidden Keys To Twin Flame Unity Workshop where I take you through clearing these underpinning sources of pain and separation to open your connection, and lifting higher.
(You can still get 30% off until Monday with code "MERCURY")
The King Of The Underworld Joins In...
Another crucial aspect of the Lion's gate this year is that it happens in opposition with Pluto Retrograde.
It brings pressure and deep unconscious emotions and patterns to the surface.
Expect to be shaken up this week - not to hurt you...
But because the planets are showing you the places you have still been unconsciously fighting YOURSELF, and holding back from your highest path due to identifying with these old ideas.
When you do this, you allow your authentic light to shine - and your connection resets to its true harmony.
Releasing Attachment
Above all it's about releasing the attachment to those old ideas and identification, then your soul can do what it needs to in order to lift into the next chapter.
Spirit reminds us that we have all agreed to this process, as it's a soul contract we have as people awakening in this era.
They advise, if you feel strange, "off" or not quite like yourself right now... A bit numb or unsure of the path forward or even who you really ARE deep down...
It's all due this process. The best thing you can do is go within, relax, breathe, meditate, allow the release...
And clear the old energy that is coming up, so it doesn't just sink back down and continue affecting you from behind the scenes.
Aquarius Full Moon - Wounds Around Rejection
The Full Moon in Aquarius peaks during the Lion's gate and shortly after.
This means some of the deeper wounds we are asked to finally deal with now are those that deal with feeling "different", or like an "outsider".
Spirit says, rejection based on who you *were* on some level.
Anywhere you were made to feel that you didn't belong.
Primal Human Logic - Why Rejection Hurts So Much
To the primal human psyche and unconscious, rejection is a DEEP wound.
Because guess what? For ancient humans, rejection would equal loss of safety from the group - and therefore even death. No wonder rejection cuts so deep.
Our bodies are wired to seek belonging and safety.
You're not over-sensitive.
It's Not What You Think It Is
With the Full Moon and Pluto in general opposition with the Lion's Gate, we see that your perspective is being encouraged to shift.
You don't have to go searching or chasing for revelations, love, and your highest.
It's about the inner shift into the right frequency. Embodiment.
You ARE the portal.
So many are delaying their journey because they are not facing this, says spirit.
Did You Realize This?
They literally cannot SEE that they are the whole thing already!
They ARE the universe/divine.
If you feel a bit woozy or like you're unsure of yourself and the path forward, it's because of this process.
You are being asked to anchor into your own authentic soul embodiment.
Masks Of Ego
We are in a push to release the masks of Ego, and this means simply the human IDEAS of who we are.
The defense mechanisms based in old survival paradigms.
Spirit says, when we look to ancient humans... Can we see how fear of not fitting in, is literally a fear of death?
This is why people contort and twist and pretend, and are so afraid of being open and truthful - with themselves as well.
Do not hold it against one another, they say. See it for what it is, a defense mechanism.
This takes the power away from it, because the toxic ego feeds off drama and conflict.
If we saw an animal backed into a corner, snapping, we would know it was because it was afraid.
Paving The Way For Love
It's time to go further, spirit says. Into exploring the realms of love. Love of all, is a love of yourself.
We are rising into oneness rapidly, they say. 8D is coming in, energetically, during the gateway. It's being introduced.
You may sense a different shift in energy, have symbolic dreams or notice your body needing more rest.
Most people will not be able to uphold the 8D level of vibration.
"Not because there is anything wrong with you but because you are in a physical body.
We cannot rewire it all at once," they say, showing us that it would cause "short circuiting" of our system.
"Therefore it must be done gradually".
What To Do When The Past Comes Calling
Old karma might try to reel you in just as you're about to "up-level" this week.
It's important to NOT feed into it or accept it.
How do you recognize it?
It deals with themes of conflict and opposition - for Twin Flames, it will most likely deal with your connection.
It also deals with any limitations, ideas of powerlessness, ideas of separation from love, source/the universe...
And any family/cultural/age/gender type identity structures that do not align with your true nature as a soul.
Handling Twin Flame Outsiders
In particular, spirit shows that a challenging issue for many, is your Twin Flame counterpart being with an outsider.
Their advice is to work through your own triggers and go deeper into WHY this pushes your buttons.
(They hint, it's yet again the primal survival paradigms and fear of losing belonging/safety by being abandoned. This is why abandonment is such a deep and resistant fear!)
So how do you shift an outsider involvement?
As long as you hold anger and resentment, it stays, says spirit.
"This kind of bond is never permitted unless BOTH Twins allow it!"
How to resolve it: Realize you are them and they are you.
And the outsider is also a soul of light, who is there by soul contract to show you that the fear of abandonment or "losing" your Twin is an issue you need to look at in order to heal and open.
The quicker you can release the resistance and ideas of wrong/bad/problem, the faster it will resolve, says spirit.
Inner Evolution Of Self
As Mars opposes Neptune and Saturn retrogrades, he trines Pluto Retrograde and Uranus.
It shows us there is a focus on inner evolution.
Not for anyone else or from anyone else.
The soul is awakening from within. Detoxing from false structures and karma, including collective, issues systems and ideas.
We’re being asked to release the limiting beliefs given to us by other people, which have been undermining our own power and faith.
Massive Ascension Shift
There is a massive shift in the Ascension project working to reach through. A "new" Twin connection wanting to emerge.
The way there? It's through facing the shadows you may not have realized were present (still).
Spirit's comment is: we're not just healing for ourselves in this period. We are healing for the whole human collective.
Above all, do NOT accept the negativity and limits of the past.
Use your choice, your awareness. "Opt in" to your highest.
The Deeper Reasons Why You're Being Challenged
This is set to be a week of deep shifts, and it may push you.
But looking back later on, you'll see what was really happening:
You were being shown the false holdbacks that were still affecting you and your Twin Flame bond - and now, you get to release them.
It's time to go beyond. I believe in you!
