🌕 MOONday Mood: Flow, Not Force

Pre 8:8 Lion’s Gate Portal | Self-Worth | Divine Feminine Flow

Welcome to MOONday. The beginning of the week. The moon rules the emotions, intuition, and the divine feminine within.And this week?

The message is simple but sacred: Flow. Don’t force.

As we move through the days leading up to the 8:8 Lion’s Gate Portal, the energy is already building. This isn't just another Monday this is a spiritual checkpoint. A moment to pause and ask yourself:

Where have I been forcing instead of flowing?Where have I been shrinking to be

accepted? Where have I been overgiving just to feel seen?

🦁 The 8:8 Lion’s Gate Energy Is Already Here...

Every year, from late July to mid-August, we’re in the Lion’s Gate portal—a cosmic alignment between the Sun in Leo and the rising of Sirius (the spiritual sun). It peaks on August 8th (8/8) but the days leading up to it are just as powerful.

This portal activates:

• Your Heart Chakra – so you can love with boldness and boundaries

• Your Solar Plexus – so you can stand tall in your confidence

• Your Soul’s Calling – so you stop settling for the bare minimum

But in order to receive what this portal brings, you’ve got to surrender.Surrender the forcing. Surrender the need to prove yourself. Surrender the struggle.

🌊 It's time to be Honest

Being soft in a world that rewards hardness is not easy.Wanting a life full of ease, love, alignment, peace, clarity, joy that’s not too much. That’s your divine right.

But when you’ve been in spaces where your softness was misunderstood or your needs were ignored, it can make you question yourself. It can make you react from pain instead of your truth. Even after taking accountability for your actions.

Let’s be clear: Your reaction is not who you are. It’s a reflection of what your soul no longer wants to tolerate. It’s a mirror showing you where you’ve been trying to survive instead of thrive.

💌 A Love Note to You:

There is nothing wrong with you for wanting more. There is nothing wrong with you for desiring real love, real peace, and real connection. There is nothing wrong with you for being emotional, passionate, bold, or soft.Let this be your reminder: You are not too much you’ve just outgrown too little.

🌊 Let the Ebb & Flow Guide You...

Sometimes we ask God for connection, love, elevation…But when it arrives, we have to be honest are we truly ready to receive it?

• Flowing means trusting divine timing.

• Flowing means not trying to force what isn’t aligned.

• Flowing means standing in your softness without apology.

This week, let the Moon and the Lion remind you who you are:Powerful. Loving. Soft. Whole. Divine.

This is your preparation week. A moment to realign with ease, choose your power, and let go of emotional weight you’ve outgrown.

Let this Lion’s Gate energy activate your remembrance:You are divine. You are worthy. You are not meant to force anything.You were born to flow and shine.

Happy MOONday, and blessed pre-8:8 portal. Walk in your softness. Stand in your power & remember what’s for you will never require you to beg, break, or bend.

Asé. 🦁💛🌕
