Lion's Gate

A poem about the energy of a powerful planetary alignment

Lion's Gate - A Poem by Sue Cartwright, Spiral Leaf


Lion's Gate, the eighth of the eighth;

Duality in balance, alignment, universal grace;

Angel blessings, abundance, inner strength, 

Preparing us for change, at the dawn of a new age.


The Sun in Leo mirrors the full Sturgeon Moon;

Aligning with Sirius, binary, brightest star of two;

Home to ancient wise ones, guides and teachers too,

Leading lights, a remembering of our cosmic roots.


Bathe in the ocean of healing planetary energy;

As Grand Trines and configurations are activated;

Visualise and feel the life you want to manifest; 

Be brave, roar from the heart, love at your finest.


Sacred space within, connect, there are no limits;

Micro of the Universe, never give your power away;

Part of the whole, so treasured, keeps the fear at bay;

Step through the gate, to the place you want to be.
