Now, “Is a perfect balancing/pivotal point between the expansive full moons, and a powerful opportunity to step out of whatever ‘box’ our mental or emotional boundaries have been defining.” ~Julie Umpleby 8 8 Lions Gate Stepping Out of the Box
Have you been sitting in a place of “not knowing?” Or find yourself vacillating about what to do? A bit of a dance like the flittering dragonfly. Maybe you’ve felt the stirrings of something new but without the form or steps to move forward? This may be a project, how to navigate relationships or just how to BE in the world differently, more authentically. Or maybe you have you found something unexpectedly show up in your path when you weren’t expecting it and it moved you forward?
You may or may not had something show up but the energy of change is powerful right now. I keep hearing that this blue moon window and Lions Gate is a good time to start or focus on new projects. At first “What new project,” my mind kept asking?
My inner self whispered a small nugget of inspiration a few weeks ago, but life seemed to get in the way. In retrospect, intuitively I know it was about divine timing.
Now my focus is clearer, “time to step out of the box”, people and unexpected support appeared in my path to move forward in small steps. It started right around July 24th with the message of the dragonfly in the last blog, to be flexible and be open to more possibilities.
As we move directly into the Lions Gate of 8-8 you may find as I do it’s taking the courage and confidence of the Lion to step out of the box and to live life using your finely tuned intuition and trust to know where to focus your energies. How to live with integrity and stand in your truth.
“The Leo New Moon falls on the Lion’s Gate Portal of 8-8-21. This lining up invites the Earth to be flooded with light. A light so bright, that it absorbs and transforms all distortion and darkness. This is speaking to a birth of a New Man, that is a living example of Spirit. This light seeks to activate a powerful memory of the God code hiding latent in the DNA of humanity. The presence of this energy on Earth vanquishes all imbalance and evil.” ~ Adrienne Elise Astrologer https://adrienneelise.com/
Enter the White Lion
Julie Umpleby (Diamondlightworld.com), who has lived in Africa, and lead African tours including to Linda Tucker’s White Lion Sanctuary, has said these majestic White Lions are intuitive, powerful, and you can feel the compassion when you are near them.

More of these amazing white animals are appearing on the earth now. It’s believed as more white animals show up on the planet it’s to support the change on the planet as we gradually move into the consciousness of “unity” instead of division and separation.
“White Lions are considered enlightenment bearers. The spirit essence of the Lion is wise beyond their years, they carry the wisdom of Lions that have gone before them throughout the ages.” (https://www.universeofsymbolism.com/lion-symbolism.html)
White Lions due to their beautiful white coat can’t camouflage themselves. However, what is amazing is that they have been found to survive and be as strong and even possibly more capable than their non-white lion counterparts. White Lions appear to carry the sacred balance of masculine and feminine. The energy of the White Lion is the perfect energy to tap into and embody as a highly sensitive, intuitive and compassionate being.
At this point you may be thinking how do the butterflies fit into all this?
Butterflies also have a powerful message for us during this time. In spring and summer butterflies are plentiful and reminders that the codes and beauty of the butterfly are hidden within the caterpillar.
A caterpillar has to change its form to survive.
As we see our world breaking down we must change! This window and the Lion’s gate energy is pushing you to step up and out into the world and in your life with your gifts in a way that you are passionate about, trust your inner knowing, not worrying about what others think.
“The 8-8 Lion’s gate is astrologically significant as it involves the Sun in the sign of Leo and the rising of the star Sirius. Sirius is one of the brightest stars in the sky and is known as our “Spiritual Sun” or inner guiding Sun. While our earthly Sun illuminates our physical world, our inner Sun illuminates the truth of our inner light, our connection to Source.” ~Celia Finn
As we enter into this powerful window and Lion’s gateway, it’s a time to allow your personal cocoon to fall away and open your wings and claim the many gifts of your finely tuned sensitivity and the other gifts that may have been hidden in the past to emerge.
Follow what is passionate and deep within your heart and core, following your inner sun to what is emerging. It’s also a time to feel into the courage, compassion, and confidence of the White Lion to ground you and move you forward with integrity in your life.
This is a time and “Our personal opportunity to awaken this God code, to put everything non-essential aside. It’s time to make our main focus in life, walking in our light of Truth, breathing deep in awareness, and deliberately affirming own our inner light and connection to each other in our soul group”. ~ Adrienne Elise
Let the beauty and freedom of the butterfly out of the cocoon. Dance with the energy of flexibility and the vision of the dragonfly. Feel the energy of courage and compassion of the White Lion in your core. BE your most authentic, empowered presence and trust your gifts, which are vital for change, for yourself and on our planet during this time,

“The Lions Gate 8 8 providing specific attributes and qualities to call forward our uniqueness and expand our mental acuity as well as inner vision. During this cycle the new moon of 8 8 brings us back to measure everything via strength and courage of our hearts. A perfect/pivotal point between the expansive full moons. When we measure our thoughts with our hearts, we enhance embodiment and ultimately the capacity to fully claim our inherent freedom.” ~Julie Umpleby

You have the ability to see things from other perspectives and to take good care of yourself, whatever it takes. No guilt, no shame! (The bracelet is in My Favorites)
P.S. I appreciate everyone who has let me know how the blogs and offerings have supported them. I have been curious how to expand that support. Following what has shown up in my path, I’m excited to be creating a new space support those of us with those finely tuned gifts of our high sensitivity to claim our gifts with the emergence from the cocoon of the butterfly, flexibility and vision of the dragonfly and courage and compassion of the White Lion. I am looking forward to connecting with you in the new space. I will keep you posted on the progress.
