A portal opens today. Can you feel it? In the dozens and hundreds of astrological alignments I have heard and read about in my lifetime that were deemed to have tremendous energetic impact, this is the one I have felt the most intensely.
As the sun rises tomorrow and the days following for a month or so, be aware that the star Sirius is rising also, the morning star is reentering our lives with the sun. The lioness is unfolding her golden glory and the portal she is opening will flood supportive energies into our lives. Just as the nile flooded at this time every year for the Egyptians. The nile may be dammed now, but nothing has stopped sirius from rising and bringing on the energetic flood.
And now because we need it more than ever. There is nothing you need to do to invite it, just feel the wave lifting you up and natural gratitude will flow from you. You may invoke the lion goddess Sekhmet by lighting a candle in her name, or holding a fire ceremony. For the Egyptian new year has arrived, and for each of our ancient selves it is a new birth. A time to celebrate what is coming. So if you have long held unanswered prayers, don’t give up. Keep scattering seeds over and over, and where it was dry the waters will rise, and they will sprout and flourish. If you are tired or weary, invite Sekhmet to hold you in her brilliant arms and carry you to the waters.
Drink of them. Nourish yourselves and allow the energetic waters to wash over the dry spaces within, and fill any tiny hollows with nourishing life force. Sirius is back again, and good will is overcoming. The ancient will that holds all and knows all, is enveloping us. Explore this portal, and let Sekmhet lead you through it, to a place you may have waited forever for, and yet never parted from.
From the heart of the Lion.
