🌗 LAST QUARTER MOON IN TAURUS♉️ + THE 8:8 LIONS GATE BLESSINGS
It's time to concentrate! The Last Quarter Moon in Taurus♉️ on Tuesday, August 8, 2023 at 6:28 AM EST draws us back to our priorities and principles, reminding us that certain things are not worth the effort.
It is also occurring on the same day as the 8/8 Lion’s Gate Portal peaks, having opened on July 26, 2023. Making this a truly powerful day of transformation and releasing – especially for all the Fixed/Authority signs.
It's also a big love week, with the Sun and Venus retrograde getting closer and closer in the zodiac. They will make an inferior conjunction this Sunday, August 13, in the same degree of Leo. This is an event that occurs only every 584 days, midway through each Venus retrograde and signals that the Goddess, now absent from the sky, has returned from the Underworld to be our Morning Star.
This celestial union, like a new moon, can be seen of as a Venus rebirth (or "new Venus"), a moment when the sky becomes dark and we have a completely blank canvas on which to recreate our love story. Especially since she is moving from an evening to morning risings in the the sky.
The rest of this blog will be discussing the mix of these current powerful energies and how you can apply the Lunar Wisdom Formula and access the 8/8 portal to make this a powerful releasing before we experience the Leo New Moon.
Last Quarter Moon🌗:Lunar Wisdom Formula
Last Quarter Moons only happen for 1 day, during the waning phase of the Lunar cycle, where the light is fading and the moon goes dark 🌑 . This 24 hour period can become a magical game changer in your manifestation practice. It is also a great fixed point to check in from a Stellar Planning perspective and make adjustments according to how you feel (the moon).
Lunar Cycles are 28-29 days in total. During the las 14 days of the waning phase 🌕🌔🌓🌒🌑 its time to release and let go of any attachments to the seeds planted or intentions set. This is the Yin or feminine receptive portion of the cycle where we need to let the energy do the work for us and get into observer mode.
This particular phase is also characterized by low energy and extreme tired as the moon light drops below 25%.
The Last Quarter Moon happens 7.5 - 10 Days after the Full Moon, lasts only for 1 day and reduce energy levels and increase the need for clear.
It’s a time to analyze & release any thoughts, energies and patterns that aren’t serving you anymore.
What to do for the Last Quarter🌗 phase
🌗 Get organized and re-focus on the things that are important to complete and tie up loose ends
🌗 Get plenty of rest- go to bed early and take an afternoon nap if you feel called
🌗 Analyze what’s going well and release/let go of what’s no longer serving
Last Quarter Moon in Taurus🌗♉️:Lunar Wisdom Formula
This Last Quarter Moon in Taurus is preparing us for the Leo New Moon♌️🌑 on August 16. While the Lion’s Gate Portal opening gives us a last shot at manifesting under the outgoing energy of the Cancer New Moon♋️🌑.
Taurus bestows practical, sensible gifts. She takes care of the needs. We're looking at house, body, food, and fundamental daily routines during this moon phase. Quality and worth are important to both Leo and Taurus. They desire a relaxing environment both indoors and out, something fragrant and aesthetically pleasant.
Taurus and Leo, when combined, exude luxury and relaxation. The key is to grasp the relationship between desire and the outcome of fulfilling that goal. Pay attentive attention to what you truly require. The question is not what we desire, but how we feel once we have it.
We must ask ourselves, "Does it really feel that good to binge?" To eat, drink, or smoke that much? Whatever your vice is, it's up for scrutiny. Spend time in nature or on a farm, work outside, sing, clean, and beautify your living place, and REST during this quarter moon. Everything related to health and wellness.
This last quarter moon will make a near conjunction with Jupiter in Taurus, further grounding us. Jupiter's effect is cheerful, upbeat, and wide. Concentrate on the heart chakra during meditation to help you stay grounded.

BE PROUD OF YOURSELF
Do you really believe in you? No one is perfect but you need to believe in yourself and what you have to offer.
Be proud of yourself.
You came to this Earth with a purpose to fulfill.
Drawing this card suggests that there are a lot of unresolved self‐worth questions that need to be answered before you can start to create the life you know is waiting for you.
Being real is the key here. Don’t pretend for appearance’s sake.
You’re more than allowed and encouraged to be your real self.
Manifesting Mix
In an age where people pretend to lead a perfect life, there’s nothing more impressive than true authenticity.
Manifesting Mindset
Don’t compare yourself to anyone else. Instead start to recognize your own talents and assets.
Tune into your manifesting powers
These crystals work especially well for the sign of Taurus: Citrine, Green Fluorite, Garnet, Red Jasper, Honey Calcite or Peach or Yellow Moonstone.
Choose one and hold it while you meditate, visualizing a bright blue light swirling around you. Alternatively, keep your crystal close by as you work through your situation, or use five or six to make a crystal grid.
Your manifestation affirmation
‘I am a unique and beautiful soul!’
When to manifest your magic
The best time to work your magic is when the Moon is in Taurus, on a Friday (Venus’ day) or during Venus’ hour.
The Last Quarter Moon in Taurus takes place when the Sun is in Leo and the Moon is in Taurus. It knows that all that glitters isn’t necessarily gold.
Manifesting with the 8/8 Lion’s Gate 🦁
Manifesting during the 8/8 Lion's Gate window, which spans from July 26 to August 12, is an incredible opportunity to tap into the powerful energies of the cosmos and align with your deepest desires. This period is considered highly auspicious for spiritual growth, manifestation, and personal transformation.
The Lion's Gate is a cosmic event that occurs when the Earth aligns with the star Sirius and the Galactic Center. During this alignment, a surge of energy flows from these celestial bodies, infusing our planet with high-frequency vibrations. This influx of energy is believed to enhance our spiritual awareness, intuition, and manifestation abilities.
To make the most of the 8/8 Lion's Gate window for manifesting, consider incorporating the following practices into your daily routine:
1. Set Clear Intentions: Begin by clarifying your goals and desires. Write them down in specific, positive language, and infuse them with passion and emotion. Visualize yourself already having achieved these goals.
2. Meditate Regularly: Use meditation to connect with your inner self and the divine energies. During this time, meditate on your intentions, allowing yourself to receive guidance and inspiration.
3. Visualize with Emotion: Engage in powerful visualization sessions, where you vividly see yourself living your dreams. Feel the emotions associated with achieving your desires, as this amplifies the manifestation process.
4. Practice Gratitude: Cultivate a daily practice of gratitude. Acknowledge and appreciate the abundance in your life, as gratitude raises your vibration and attracts more positive experiences.
5. Release Limiting Beliefs: Identify and release any limiting beliefs that may be holding you back from manifesting your desires. Replace them with positive affirmations that support your goals.
6. Engage in Inspired Action: While manifesting, it is crucial to take inspired action towards your goals. Trust your intuition and follow the guidance you receive during this time.
7. Connect with Nature: Spend time in nature, grounding yourself and aligning with the natural rhythms of the Earth. Nature helps you stay centered and connected to the cosmic energies.
8. Journaling and Reflection: Keep a journal to record your thoughts, experiences, and synchronicities during this period. Reflect on your progress and celebrate even the smallest manifestations.
Remember, the 8/8 Lion's Gate window is not only about material manifestations but also about spiritual growth and self-awareness. The energies during this time can support you in transcending limitations and embracing your true potential.
Stay open to the signs and synchronicities that the universe presents, as they often provide valuable guidance. Trust in the process, and have faith that the universe is conspiring to support your highest good.
By aligning yourself with the potent energies of the 8/8 Lion's Gate, you can elevate your manifestation abilities and co-create a life that aligns with your soul's purpose. Embrace this magical window with an open heart and a focused mind, and watch as the universe responds in wondrous ways.
Blessed Be💙✨
