This oracle reading is for the energy of the collective consciousness during the Lion’s Gate Portal (08.08) and also includes the powerful astrological alignment on the 9th August.
The sun is in Leo and as the star Sirius rises in our sky, Orion’s Belt directly aligns with the Pyramids of Giza. According to the ancient Egyptians, when Sirius rises in the sky it is a time of great nourishment, growth and prosperity. They also felt that as Sirius seems to be closer to Earth at this time of year, and has been re-birthed in the heavens, that more cosmic energy bathes the planet, as the brilliant bright light of Sirius creates a huge influx in the flow between the spiritual and physical realms.
To challenge, restrict and possibly even accelerate our growth during this auspicious passage, we have Mars in Aries meeting Black Moon Lilith (the void) on the 9th August, who are also conjunct Eris (discord) and our waning gibbous Moon. These form a tense square to Pluto conjunct Comet Wuhan in Capricorn, travelling alongside Chariklo (shape-shifter) close to Saturn, with Jupiter nearby in the same sign.
Overall this reading indicates a strong need to lighten up and express joy. We are being offered an immense opportunity to connect to the magical abundance of Spirit and embody serenity. To view the world as full, rather than empty, and as an opportunity, rather than a hindrance. We are being asked to grow within and without. To seek higher learning, and to use the skills gained from this increase in awareness to be more flexible and creative through any restrictive periods. To nurture our inner child, the children of Earth, new projects and concepts. To connect to the Golden Light of Christ, our own inner ancient wisdom and knowledge and radiate these virtues with delight. We are also being assured that our commitment to these endeavours will soon begin to yield tangible results. Encouraging us even further, to keep this positive momentum going. Accelerating our expansion with devotion to the magical interplay of alchemy through conscious action and focused intent.
Overseeing this reading is the Goddess Tara. She is asking us to weather any storms and restrictions by going within and strengthening our centre, by breathing deeply and focusing our awareness. To let the turmoil of life go on without us. To go into the quiet, into the calm, and from there we shall find the strength to dance with life again. The Hummingbird is also alongside her, suggesting we must lighten up, seek out and create some joy in our lives and laugh like the Smiling Buddha and Ascended Masters.
We are being cautioned not to take this transitory life too seriously. To have a good time and find enjoyment. To let any grief fall away now and transmute it into joyful remembrance, and warm feelings for the people, animals and circumstances no longer in our daily experience. For whom and what has come before. To make every moment count. To love, and then love some more, no matter what else is going on! The animal totem of Hummingbird also symbolises playfulness, freedom, hope, pleasure, flexibility, sensitivity, vibration and colour.
Excerpt and poem from the Goddess Oracle by Amy Sophia Marashinsky:
Tara who originated in India and whose name means “star” is a major Goddess in the Tibetan pantheon. She is known to help those who call upon her in tumultuous times of need, to steer a clear path, to find the stillness and strength within. She is also the Goddess of self-mastery and mysticism. From the first tear of compassion, a lake was formed. From the middle of this lake, a lotus emerged. When it bloomed, Tara emerged. Although offered reincarnation in male form, she swore to be ever incarnated as a woman.
I sit with my attention focused on my breath
breathing in and out
inhaling and exhaling
taking in and letting go
the dance of creation
the dance of the universe
the dance of life
I sit in stillness
in focused awareness
breathing in and out
as the ocean that is life
churns and pulses around me
as oceans of incarnations
swirl and twirl through me
beside me
all around me
My eyes see all
know all
and watch
As I breathe
Still. Focused. Aware. Centred.
Nelys the Alchemist has appeared to trigger inner transformation and irrevocable change. Alchemy is the study and practice of transforming the soul from the lead of primitive conditioned reactions to the gold of spiritual and practical attainment. Nelys is mistress of the alchemical arts, and she also understands that life is a spiritual exercise. She recognises that transformation may take place from the inside out, or from the outside in. Often inner transformation is required in order to achieve what we wish for in the outer world, just as conversely, changes in the outer world often elicit inner transformation.
Sometimes things cannot move without readjustment and perhaps even radical realignment. As she appears here reversed she is warning us not to get in her way as she works her magic. Putting it bluntly we as individuals may be the main obstacle on our path. It may be necessary to transform attitudes and behaviours. Nelys will first approach us with tact and a kindly faery warning, pointing out an alternative path we might try. At this point, it would be well to begin actively cooperating with her energy of alchemical transformation. That is quite a hefty faery wand she carries, and it isn’t just for decoration! Personal inner change is the truest transformation of all – and in the long run, it is the only change that really matters.
The Singer of the Chalice offers everything a seeker could possibly imagine. Heavenly bliss, trust, patience, joy, love, creativity, hope, healing, compassion and miracles. All we need to do is allow ourselves to open to this abundant Chalice and its divine gifts. This Singer holds the Chalice from which a rainbow of energies pours, endless, all encompassing abundance, natural energies of the cosmos which flow through the Chalice and through us when we are open to them, and flow around us when we are blocking them.
When we open out hearts to unity consciousness and trust in Spirit, that energy can be focused through so many different lenses of feeling, like white light making rainbows through a prism. Faery would like us to realise that all the wonderful feelings that this Singer offers are not really separate feelings at all, they are each contained in the other, experience one and you can experience them all. We just don’t have a word that describes this possibly indescribable feeling. Perhaps "magical faery rainbow bliss" is about as close as we will get! All we need to do is open our heart’s door…
The next three cards contain two that also appeared in the summer solstice reading, signifying a continuation of an important process of regaining more of our power and working more closely with Spirit. This theme has also appeared in most of the previous readings in one form or another. It is definitely therefore time to consider all the ways we can take our power back.
We need to let go of our old perceptions of limitation and replace them with new words and thoughts that remind us of our own God strength. To take action on our own behalf. To dive deep to find the courage and become truly empowered. The best way we can do this is to be fully present, to focus and call in our Higher Self, Archangels and our spirit guides. To actively call in all aspects of our consciousness into the here and now.
To connect to the higher realms and envision all of our goals and wishes coming true. To take a moment and see ourselves reaching our goals absolutely. No matter what may be happening in our lives, Spirit is always there for us. They are reaching out to us, sharing their light and power. We are all encouraged to keep taking a moment or two to close our eyes, and tune in to sense all of our spirit guides gathering around us. Then take a deep breath and feel the words Adsum, I arrive within. The Divine stands with us, encouraging and assisting us, and together we arrive at the highest possible dream.
To manifest this dream we are being alerted that we may experience a reduction and reorganisation. We are again being told to let go of the old and to possibly take a new direction, or forge a new path. A physical move may also be required. We must be conscious of the options available and be courageous in our choices. Although some part of this experience may feel like a loss at first, this time of reduction or relocation can actually lead to great personal freedom and professional transformation!
Cards: Archangel Michael (reversed), Adsum and Bird’s Nest (reversed).

Temple Gateway is card number 8 in the Yellow Gateway of the Self-Existent Sun:
Wisdom from another realm is asking to be given a foundation for expression within the structure of our present reality. The Yellow Key of Temple Gateway offers an access point for the rapid evolution of any individual who chooses to embody the power of their inner wisdom.
We are being reminded to honour our mind and body as a channel for Source; this is necessary in order to create a firm foundation for our future self-expansion. We must be particularly aware of the nature of our thoughts as they have a powerful creative impact on the experiences of our physical existence. Now is the time to balance our mental processes with the appropriate physical activities.
Within the Key of Temple Gateway, we will see the repetition of the square – two structures of four corners. This reflects the fact that the balanced and secure foundations that we have created are now beginning to resonate beyond our inner core. It is time to act on the guidance of this inner awareness.
We may, as individuals, shortly receive acknowledgement of our wisdom from an external source. Recognise the possibility of acceptance within our own thought forms and be alert for opportunities to be receptive. A productive period of expanded stability and happiness in near at hand – this is based on our ability to channel with clarity the wisdom that is now signaling for birth.
We are being reminded that there is a need to move forward in a structured and persistent manner and not to allow ourselves to become distracted by past patterns of fear, limitation or low self-esteem. Confident devotion to the higher resonance that demands our attention for manifestation is now required.
There is a need to practice the dedication and discipline of focus that result in success.
As the structure of Temple Gateway forms, there may be a temptation to short circuit any expansion, by accepting the definitions applied to us by others. We are counseled to reconnect with the guidance that channels through us and to re-define our responses.
The presence of this Key to the Yellow Gateway of Illumination indicates a period of ecstatic birth for the Journeyer; as the structure for the expression of our ancient wisdom takes form. Allow yourself to feel the radiant waves of luminosity dancing through your soul, then surrender, and let these waves carry your awareness to even higher levels of delight.
We are powerful and creative Beings of Light, the opportunity for a blissful existence is now enveloping us. Open wide to receive its embrace.
Affirmation of Illumination:
Joyful stability entrances me.
Honouring the temple of my soul, I choose to activate the ancient wisdom of my being.
I am an abundant channel for the Light,
and I resound with the playful acceptance of ecstasy.

The Great Cosmic Chalice is showering you with more delight than you can possibly imagine.
