"You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me." Morpheus - Matrix

Alex Myles - 8/8 Gate & Mars in Libra 2025

On August 8, the Lion’s Gate Portal reaches its peak, filling the day with energy, momentum & endless possibilities. With the Sun in Leo and Sirius rising in alignment, this moment is seen as a gateway for transformation, helping intentions manifest quickly. It’s a powerful time to let go of what feels heavy, open yourself to abundance & take confident steps toward the life you truly want.

The Lion’s Gate gets its name from Leo, the lion, a symbol of courage, strength, and leadership that becomes active during this time. Sirius, the “spiritual sun,” shines much brighter than our Sun and held great importance for ancient cultures.

Sirius is known to send out special light waves called ascension codes. These waves carry wisdom that awakens hidden parts of your consciousness and activates your DNA deeply. Star gates work like portals between dimensions, releasing cosmic energy that rewires how you think, feel, and create your reality.

During this period, Earth absorbs the combined energy of Sirius and the Sun, raising your vibration and breaking old habits to invite deep, abundant change.

This portal connects you to energy from two of the brightest and strongest lights in the sky and urges you to think bigger, take bolder steps, and fully step into the changes you have been holding back. It brings sudden clarity and fast insights that cut through confusion.

The Lion’s Gate sends a clear cosmic message, calling you to realign with your highest purpose and claim your full power.

This energy boosts your manifesting power. Your thoughts and feelings send signals to the Universe like radio waves, and the Universe amplifies whatever you focus on most.
During this time, clear intentions turn into real results faster than usual. What once felt out of reach becomes visible when you stay steady and focused on it.

August 8 marks a clear turning point between your past and what lies ahead. The pressure of important decisions awakens courage, strength, and unstoppable creative energy within you. This energy brings old feelings to the surface, urging you to confront and release anything holding back your growth.

The Lion’s Gate renews your energy by clearing out old thoughts, habits, and relationships that drain you or block your progress. As these patterns fade, new space opens for experiences and connections that truly reflect who you are.

If you are sensitive to energy, you will feel this intensity deeply. This portal is charged with powerful manifesting energy and high vibrations, but the strength of this shift can bring temporary symptoms you may already be noticing.

As the energy recalibrates on a cellular level, your body and mind adjust to these profound changes, sometimes causing physical or emotional waves that signal transformation underway.

Here are some signs and symptoms you may experience during this time:

Increased clarity and sudden insights that bring fresh understanding
Moments of deep peace and calm amid change
Unexpected bursts of creativity and inspiration
Feelings of connectedness to the Universe and others
A stronger sense of purpose and alignment with your path
Difficulty communicating clearly, leading to misunderstandings or conflict
Sudden waves of emotion that bring tears or frustration
People from your past reappearing, offering chances to heal or release
Physical sensations like headaches, ringing in the ears, or flu-like aches
Unexpected anxiety or fear about the future
Intuitive flashes of insight beyond logical understanding
Memory lapses, misplacing things, and a distorted sense of time
Changes in sleep patterns, including restless nights or waking early
Vivid, unusual, or prophetic dreams
Heightened sensitivity to energy, seeing orbs, flashes of light, or feeling warmth in your hands
Emotional waves causing loneliness, irritability, or hidden stress
Sharpened senses making light, sound, taste, and touch feel more intense
A strong gut feeling signaling that major change is coming
Feeling drained around people whose energy no longer matches yours
Increased feelings of disconnection or mental fog
Heightened empathy and compassion with deeper respect for life
Releasing old wounds and limiting beliefs
Overthinking and getting stuck in repetitive thought loops
Noticing repeated numbers or meaningful coincidences
Discomfort around certain people or crowds due to energy sensitivity
A growing need for solitude and deep reflection
Getting through this time calls for simple self-care. Here are some steps that may be helpful:
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables to boost clarity and vitality.
Drink plenty of filtered water to flush out stagnant energy and support your body’s natural flow.
Take saltwater baths to cleanse your physical body and energetic field, helping reset your system.
Practice meditation to soothe your mind and sharpen your focus.
Reduce caffeine and alcohol intake to clear mental clutter and better notice subtle energy shifts.
Spend time outdoors to reconnect with Earth’s steady rhythm and ground restless energy.

From August 6 through September 22nd, Mars moving through Venus-ruled Libra alters the energy around how you take action towards what you feel passionate about and how you connect with the people in your life. 

Mars drives you to act fast, speak your mind boldly, and chase your goals without hesitation. Libra, however, pulls you toward fairness, balance, and careful consideration of how your actions affect others. 

During this period, the urge to jump into tough conversations or make quick decisions may feel strong, but there is also a clear sense that moving too fast could harm trust or upset the delicate balance you have worked hard to build.

Emotionally, this transit pulls you in two opposing directions, creating a constant push and pull between charging ahead and stepping back to maintain peace. The drive to stand up for yourself clashes with the desire to keep things calm and harmonious. This ongoing tension teaches an important skill: balancing speaking your truth with empathy.

When difficult conversations have been avoided or agendas advanced without input from others, this energy will bring those patterns to the surface. Mars in Libra encourages clear and honest communication by expressing your thoughts openly while genuinely listening to others. Finding the right balance between standing your ground and staying open to feedback will help maintain healthy relationships and prevent tension or breakdown.

During this time, old arguments, unresolved tensions, or hidden feelings may resurface, especially because of Mercury’s retrograde. You could notice misunderstandings or heated discussions around key topics such as expectations, commitments, or communication styles. As Mercury retrograde ends on August 11th, Mars moving through Libra offers a valuable opportunity to confront these challenges directly and work toward problem solving and resolutions.

Instead of avoiding difficult conversations or shutting down, this period encourages open and honest dialogue where everyone feels safe to share their true feelings and concerns. If you or someone else has been holding back desires or frustrations, now is the time to bring those feelings into the light and address them openly.

Mars in Libra is a time to take a close look at how you communicate. Are you giving the same respect and attention you want to receive? Have you been holding back your feelings to avoid conflict? Are you listening as much as you speak? How often do you check in with others to understand what they need? Are your relationships balanced and give-and-take? Do you feel truly seen and valued in these connections?

In the coming weeks, situations will arise where deciding whether to express your thoughts, hold back, or adjust how you communicate your feelings becomes important. Old conflicts or misunderstandings about commitments, boundaries, or unmet expectations may resurface, presenting an opportunity to handle these delicate conversations with calm honesty and compassion rather than reacting impulsively. Libra’s energy encourages balance through mindful dialogue and helps rebuild trust with attention to both your emotions and those of others.

By channeling Mars’s fiery energy through Libra’s focus on harmony, this period helps repair communication breakdowns and clear up misunderstandings, especially around important relationships like close friends, family, or partners. It encourages you or others to find the courage to speak openly about feelings that may have been hidden, and conversations that were once avoided or filled with tension can shift toward honest, respectful exchanges. 
This balance between directness and consideration can turn fragile or strained connections into stronger, more trusting relationships based on mutual respect and clear understanding.
