Hello! It’s your amateur astrologist, Jesse. I hope you all had a lovely Gemini and Cancer season and you’re currently soaking up Leo season in all of its glory. (For the uninitiated, Leo season is July 23 – August 22.) Today, I want to talk about some really interesting astrological happenings that have either taken place already or have not yet occurred in this Leo season. So, sit back, relax, and let the stars do the talking.
- The Lions Gate Portal
Yes, you are reading this right. Portals do exist, just maybe not in the sense you think. The Lions Gate portal which occurred on August 8th was essentially when the Sun, currently in Leo, aligned with a star called Sirius, which is known as the spiritual sun, to create a high frequency energy that is supposed to “open the portal ” between the spiritual and physical world. It’s almost like your third eye opening. A great practice to participate in during a Lions Gate portal is to meditate. Meditation is very important if you plan on manifesting good things for your life, and a Lion’s Gate Portal is a fantastic time to do that. What is manifesting you ask? Manifesting is when you picture a specific goal or aspiration in your mind and think of ways to move closer to it. I also suggest doing your meditation and manifesting with crystals! Crystals like Tigers Eye, Blue Kyanite, and Clear Quartz are great to hold while meditating, especially during the Lions Gate Portal because Tigers Eye promotes willpower, grounding and energy, while Blue Kyanite promotes finding a higher level of spirituality and releasing negativity, and Clear Quartz promotes clarity, focus, and prosperity–the perfect trifecta for manifesting your perfect life. Through this you can access your mind, body, and soul. Although it is too late to practice these things during the Lions Gate Portal, you now know for next year and can even begin practicing your manifesting and meditating skills today. They’re still great practices even if there isn’t a giant portal open in the sky.
- Pisces Full Moon
You still have time to participate in this one! It’s this Sunday! If you’re confused why I’m telling you about a Pisces Full Moon when this post is about Leo season events, don’t forget that although the sun is in Leo, the moon still changes signs every two to three days, and the full moon is different every season. Full moons are one of my favorite astrological happenings. Because it is a Pisces full moon, let’s start out with what the Pisces part of that means. During this full moon you are likely to feel more sensitive and small things will mean more to you. You are likely to be more thorough in your daily habits and slow down to smell the roses. You are likely to feel calm even during whatever stressful situations life throws at you. If you were born under a Pisces moon, you are even more likely to feel emotions intensely. So how do you make the most of a full moon? Meditation and manifesting are a great place to start. This is a great time to cleanse your crystals by setting them out in the moonlight overnight. You can make moon water, which is water that you leave out in the moonlight overnight to cleanse it of bad energy. Personally, I think it tastes better, too. A full moon is also a great time to “appreciate the harvest.” So make a big meal, and eat it with people you love, under the moonlight preferably. Really take the time to appreciate the meal as well and all of the nature around you for that matter. Just take the time to get your energies right going into the next season.
So, that’s all! I hope everyone has a happy and plentiful full moon this Sunday and learned something for the Lions Gate Portal next year. Come back next week where I will tell all of what’s to come in this quickly approaching Virgo season and start delving into the world of crystals and chakras.
Thanks for reading!

I, born under a Pisces Moon, am very excited for this Sunday. Thanks Amateur Astrologist Jesse!!!!
Very informative! I didn’t know about the Lion’s Gate Portal! I have some interesting astrology books if you’re interested.
Okay – one more comment! LOL
So…often people wonder how astrology works, or rationalize it by saying it’s simply generalizations – that no matter what is said, you can find something to relate to it, and that could definitely be the case…yet if you delve into quantum theory, specifically “string-theory” (simplified explanation is that on a subatomic level everything is connected through strings of “energy”) it actually makes a lot of sense. If we’re truly linked to the stars (and aren’t we made of stardust after all?) to our planets, to the cosmos – then you could conclude that there is more to Astrology then “simple” generalizations.
Anyways a bit of Kroe “wisdom” and food for thought.
For me, every season is Leo season, Jesse.
Astrology is fabulous! I was raised in a culture that does not believe in randomness. Most Chinese people use all forms of astrology to determine what a person’s outcome in life will be. Just start with the Lunar calendar. It is our version of the Lion’s Gate. And with big things like seeking partners, the time of a house move and the birth time of a child are all predicated on astrology. When I was 5 years old, my grandmother took me and all my 6 other cousins to an astrologer and she read our futures. She asked each of us our birth date, time of birth and other questions that were specific. I was told that based on all these facts I provided her, I would have a hard childhood due to my parents lack of astrological harmony…she was right! However, I would meet a husband that would be very compatible, I would be a late life parent, and I would be in some kin d of profession that helps people. Right on all three. Let’s give astrology some credence and stop exclaiming randomness. Nice job for introducing your passion.
I have a very cool book that combines western and eastern astrology. It breaks it down regarding not only what animal your eastern sign is, but combines it with your western. For example, I’m a Rooster Aries which is very different than a Rat Aries…very interesting stuff!
