Oracle Card Reading 8/8/2024
FROM THE GOOD TAROT ORACLE DECK
The Good Tarot uses elements instead of the traditional Minor Arcana: Air (traditionally represented by Swords), Water (traditionally, Cups), Earth (traditionally, Pentacles), and Fire (traditionally, Wands).
August 8th is a potent day for manifesting, known as Lion’s Gate. The Lion’s Gate refers to the annual alignment between the Sun in Leo and Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, also known as Alpha Canis Majoris or the Dog Star.
Sirius is associated with the qualities of Jupiter, which brings growth and wisdom, and Mars, known for determination and ambition, making it the perfect time for manifesting.
In numerology, the date August 8th, or 8/8, holds great significance as it represents a sequence of repeated numbers with personal and spiritual meaning. This year, the 2024 Lion’s Gate Portal is even more significant because the year (2+0+2+4) adds up to the number 8, creating a triple eight. The number eight, when turned sideways, represents infinity, symbolizing endless power and potential.
