Did you know that July 7th (7/7) is known as the gateway to the Lion’s Gate Energy, which is on August 8th, During this time the Lion’s Gate is fully opened and at a high frequency which helps us manifest our deepest desires at a much faster pace?

In addition to the 7/7 portal there are other planetary energies that influence our energy such as:

  • The Conjunction between the Sun and Mercury in Leo and the opposition energy of Saturn in Retrograde in Aquarius.

  • Pluto Retrograde in Capricorn, which Saturn is the ruler of. April 29th – October 4th, 2022

  • Neptune in Retrograde in Pisces – June 28th – Dec 3rd , 2022.

  • Jupiter in Retrograde in Aries – July 28th – November 23rd, 2022

  • Chiron in Retrograde in Aries – July 19th – December 23rd, 2022

  • Mars, Uranus and North Node – Triple Conjunction in Taurus – July 31st

Mercury went into the sign of Leo on July 19th and the Sun enters Leo season is July 22nd – August 22nd and associated with the 5th house in Astrology (change, creativity, expression, fun, adventure and unpredictability). We will have a New Moon in Leo, which represents our BIG Why.


The Moon is associated with how we feel.


Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is associated with who you are, what you were born to do (Soul’s Purpose) and your life force energy. What are you desiring? What lights you up?


The Sun is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra. When blocked or stuck, you may feel insecure, doubt, not worthy, restricted, limitations, unsafe, lacking abundance and faith, not trusting and not able to digest (understand) life circumstances, you may also experience constipation or diarrhea.


When the Solar Plexus is flowing, you may feel valued, appreciated, accepted, safe, abundance, secure, worthy, trusting and experience unlimited opportunities, success, faith, power and inspiration.


Mercury is the planet of communication, listening, commitments and promises that you have made to build a foundation of true and lasting values.


When Mercury is in Leo, it is a time for you to speak your truth, and communicate clearly what you desire in order to accomplish your goals.


Saturn is associated with structure, organization and karmic cycles. When Saturn is in Retrograde, we may feel fewer karmic challenges than when it’s direct.


When Saturn is in Aquarius, it’s associated with government, structure, habits, more motivation and your own work (internal), also pushing us to be intentional and be able to see your visions.


Leo’s energy will help you transition out of a job (career) that no longer serves you, relationship that you have outgrown and change your health, home (body/shelter) and family status.


This season may be overwhelming and many of you may decide to choose your comfort zone rather than embracing your strength, inner power and courage to fulfill your soul’s purpose.


Below are 12 cards associated to each zodiac sign, it is suggested that you read your zodiac signs related to your Sun, Moon and Ascending signs to fully understand how to navigate through Leo Season and the Lion’s Gate. Cards can show up in two ways; upright and reverse. Reverse cards indicate that there is resistance and or that chakra is blocked.
