Hey hey! Welcome back to I Know a Girl, the cozy corner of the internet where we hype each other up, get a little raw and real, and remember, healing is hot. I'm your host, Morgan, and I don't know about you, but my algorithm on all socials has been nothing but the Lions Gate Portal. Lionsgate portal this, Lionsgate Portal that. Literally, I could probably write a book about it at this point. But I wrote down some quick points so I could give you all the lowdown. And uh if you haven't already been getting well educated about all this from your algorithm, no worries. I'm about to educate you on it. So for starters, it runs from July 26th to August 12th, and there's a lot of like mixed reviews on many websites on when this whole portal takes place. I've seen anywhere from July 24th to July 26th as the start date, and anywhere between August 12th and August 14th for the end date. However, one thing's for sure that's the same on the whole board across is that the portal is at its most energetic peak on August 8th. And so that's why the Lions Gate Portal is recognized on August 8th. And fun fact, the number eight is associated with your personal power, it's associated with abundance, courage, leadership, balance. And it's no coincidence that the number eight is also shaped like an infinity sign. So you're probably wondering, what the fuck do we do for the Lions Gate portal? Well, I'm about to let you know. So the portal is for remembering your highest potential, it's for getting back to yourself. Now, you're probably thinking like your highest potential is something that you become, right? No. You're already that version of yourself, but you drop the expectations, you drop any distractions, you let go of all that self-doubt that says that you can't do it, and you step into the energy and you call in all your manifestations. They don't say that it's the luckiest day of the year for no reason, okay? And on top of that, this energy is amplified to the max this year, okay? And let me explain why. So, like I said, it's recognized on August 8th. August is the eighth month of the year, right? And the eighth, eighth day. Well, 26. We're in 2026. So 26, 2, 6, if you add those together, that's the number 8. So the reason why it is amplified is because we're dealing with triple eight. The lion's gate lands on 8.8. And then you know, the year 26 adds up to an eight. So we're triple eight, triple, triple infiddy infinity sign in it up. But you're probably like, all right, well, you got my full attention. How do I work with this potential with this portal? All right, well, I need you to get real fucking raw and real with yourself. I need you to ask, what part of me is ready to move forward? Think that Leo energy, babe. Think what are you really gonna be bold about now? So honestly reflect on yourself, where you're at, where you want to go. And then I need you to release everything that doesn't serve you anymore. Everything that doesn't give you joy, doesn't bring you happiness, doesn't remind you that you're that bitch. Get rid of it, okay? You're reconnecting with your values, and then after that, set intentions that feel aligned. But most importantly, you need to trust yourself to make it happen. So we're not just calling in all these wishes and then just hoping the universe delivers it for you. No, you're gonna put in the fucking work to do it too, okay? Now, the lion's gate. It's happening in Leo, the lion season. So please, please, please, please, please, if you take one thing from this entire podcast episode, I want it to be this. I want you to do one, one, that's just one, it doesn't matter how big or small, but one thing that you've been putting off. And please make it be bold. Okay? Do one bold thing that you've been putting off. All right. Now, you're probably thinking this is all some mumbo shumbo mumbo shumbo bullshit, right? Or maybe you're like me and you really believe that, like, you know, shit doesn't just happen for the for the hell of it. You know what I mean? There's always a reason before behind everything, and there are no coincidences. So here's a little proof in the pudding for you. We have three major astrological aspects going on, okay? For starters, I don't know if you remember, like six months ago, I made an episode about the Chinese New Year and how we were in, you know, the year of the fire horse. Yes, we are holding on to the fire horse energy until February 2027. So this means quick action, hard work, and we're building momentum all year round, right? But now on the luckiest day of the year, whoo! Watch out, we're about to be fucking unstoppable. All right. And then, like I said before, the year is we're in the year, we're in year number one. And you're probably like, what? You just said that, you know, 26 equals eight. Right, I did. However, if you take the whole year into account, not just the ending of it, two plus zero plus two plus six equals ten. And then to reduce the number ten down, you plus one with zero, and you got one. So we're in year one. And year one is all about like initiations and new beginnings. So this is all great stuff for when you want to call in your manifestation. Why can I not talk today? Oh my god. So yeah, hopefully, I'm not like talking too fast, and you're like, girl, shut up, slow it down. All right, I'm gonna give you, you know, a Lionsgate ritual, and then I'll get into my small joys and our horoscope pipe, and then our tarot card pull, and then you can, you know, get to work on figuring out how you're gonna use the Lionsgate portal to your best ability. So for this Lionsgate ritual, I got five steps here for you, okay? You're gonna write down three things that you truly want. Three things that you are going to manifest, okay? Number two, you're gonna list five things that could potentially stop you from achieving all that you want to achieve in the next six months. Three, I want you to forgive yourself for that one mistake that you still keep beating yourself up on. Yeah, you know exactly what I'm fucking talking about. Forgive yourself for it. We're only human and we're allowed to make mistakes. However, if you keep choosing to make that mistake, it is a choice and it is no longer considered a mistake. It has now become a habit. So you need to break the habit. And number four, write a letter to your future self. When you write this letter to your future self, I want you to speak from a place of nothing but gratitude. You are very thankful for all the hard work that you put yourself put put yourself through. I don't know why I'm stuttering all episode. My God. But yeah, you you gotta write a letter to your future self, and I need you to be very, very thankful. Right about how thankful you are for all the dedication that you put in, all the hard work, the blood, the sweat, the tears, everything, okay? And then lastly, I need you to make space in your home for something new to arrive, okay? Think spring cleaning, except for it's not spring. You can go and you know, clear out your whole house from stuff that no longer serves you, or just the space in your room, but you need to get into that cleaning spree feeling so you can welcome in new abundant things, okay? All right. And like I said, I'm not a pro at this, so this is just some stuff that I've learned through my algorithm. But on to my small joys. So, first thing on my small, my list of small joys is I'm getting more veggies from my garden, and I'm so excited, and it I can't even tell you how nice it is to just end the day, and instead of going to the grocery store to get fresh produce, I'm walking outside to my backyard and picking it from my garden. So I've gotten quite a few, I think they're called straight neck squash. They're like the yellow ones. I've gotten quite a few cucumbers, I've gotten a couple of zucchini. Um I have not gotten any butternut squash yet, but the vine is like, the vine's vining. It's it's traveling. It's gonna take over a lot of plants in my garden if I don't figure out something for it. Um, I got a couple, they're called mini bell peppers. I got a couple jalapenos. Um, no tomatoes yet. I mean, I have a bunch that are on the vine, but none that are blushing and ready to be plucked yet. However, there was one that was stuck between two branches on the tomato tomato plant, and it was like getting squished to the max. My husband tried to move the branch to kind of release the pressure on it, and it snapped off the vine. So I brought it inside and I put um I don't know what they call it, like stem side down, because I guess that's supposed to help it ripen. And so far it has not changed color at all. It's still bright green. But yeah, it's it's really fun just going grocery shopping in my backyard. I mean, I've had experience with my garden in past years too, and obviously I used to add the produce from those harvests to our meals and stuff like that, too. So this is not anything new, but I have new crops this year. So it's the excitement is all exciting. Like the whole process is still very exciting, no matter how how many years I've been doing it. So if you haven't started a garden, I definitely recommend that you do it. And in fact, this one group that I'm a part of on Facebook, there's a bunch of people that have ripped out their plants that are in their garden right now that they planted like the beginning of spring. And I guess like now they're like at their end of life. Um, and they're planting new stuff to be harvested in fall. And I've never actually thought of doing that. So I think I'm gonna now use that tip for future for the future when I have a garden that maybe I did get started on time, like I tried to this year. You guys already know the whole story about the bunnies, and yeah, we won't get back into that, but um another tiny joy that I have, or small joy, is I got a new dry erase calendar in my kitchen. And I know some of you are probably gonna roll your eyes at this. Like, girl, you're talking about a dry erase calendar, but I've been using that more instead of my calendars on my phone because sometimes I forget to put an event in on my calendar on my phone and then look awful for forgetting. But um, the dry erase calendar on the wall has been helping a lot. And the kids have been writing like groceries on it that we need, or it's nice for them to see. Like the other day, Jade had a doctor's appointment, so she kind of prepared herself mentally all weekend long that come Monday she was gonna have a doctor's appointment and could potentially get a shot. Thankfully, she didn't, so we didn't have to go through that whole thing. But yeah, it's it's been a godsend. So definitely if you don't use a planner or your calendar on your phone or even just get a wall one like I do, they help a lot. They make me feel like I'm not running around with my head cut off like a chicken. Um my next small joy is I got a shit ton of thrift finds. And I love thrifting. I don't know about you, but thrifting is so much fun because I used to be one of those people that was like, eh, why do I want to buy old people's stuff? First of all, I could do a whole podcast episode on thrifting, but I like buying old people's shit because guess what? A lot of the people that I love and care about um were old. And a lot of the shit that I'm finding at thrift stores is stuff that I used to use when I was a kid at like my grandparents' or my great-aunt and uncle's houses. So it's a nice little reminder of the people that I love. Um another small joy, and my last small joy is that I am putting together an event, and I can't wait for you guys to hear more about it. I should be announcing it here soon, but I'm trying to get all the last final little details together. Um so yeah, I'm very excited. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone, so I'm very, very proud of myself. Um, my nervous system has been on the fritz because of it, because you know, doing new things, very skewy. Um let's see what else. I think that's it. Yeah, so let me do my horoscope pipe, and then I'll do uh our tarot card poll, and this is gonna be our first episode with my new deck. Um, a lot of you that have been getting readings already know what this new deck looks like because I've been using it on readings on my stories. And uh yeah, so I'm kind of retiring my first deck, my black and gold deck. I mean, I'm not like retiring her and never using her again. However, she's getting uh she's getting a break from giving weekly readings, especially for the podcast. So yeah, let me get into our horoscope pipe, starting with Aries. Aries, it's time to experience and explore. It's important for your heart and soul right now. Taurus, you are able to release the feelings and situations that are holding you back. You are not attached to them. Gemini, embrace the unique, radiant, and powerful person that you are. Cancer, are you living in alignment with your values and beliefs? It is important to self-reflect right now. Be honest with yourself. Leo, whether in person or in your mind, forgive and move forward. The only person you're hurting by holding on to this resentment is yourself. Virgo, you are connected and in flow with yourself and your higher powers. You know exactly who you are and what you need to be happy. Libra, make room for new relationship, friendship, and work partnership. Scorpios, it's time to fall in love with yourself. You come first. Sagittarius, protecting your energy is important right now. Say no to things that don't feel right. Trust your intuition. Capricorn, you're underestimating your power. What do you want? Create it in your mind and get ready to live it as your reality. Aquarius, everything is working out perfectly, and this situation will resolve effortlessly. Expect miraculously expect miraculous solutions to unfold. Pisces, something exciting is coming and you deserve it. All right, so let's get into our tarot card poll. What did the universe want us? The universe got to tell us today. It points to delays and frustrations. It suggests a time of waiting, holding back, or a slowdown in progress, urging patience in the face of obstacles and caution against panic. So, yeah, I would definitely say that that goes hand in hand with uh the Lionsgate that's happening. It's just telling us to be mindful of any delays or frustrations that may come up and uh wait and hold back if your emotions, you know, make you feel like you need to move forward in such a way. Be patient in the face of obstacles and caution against panic. So if you start to panic, don't do it. So yeah, I guess uh that's it. I'll let you guys go be for the week. I hope you are manifesting some really good shit. Um, slide in my DMs. Let me know what you're trying to call in for yourself. I would love to add some extra energy, some love and light to your manifestations, and really help you call it in. Um, I hope you have a really good rest of your week. I love you guys. Bye.
