Feng Shui Your August Astrology!!!

Hello & Welcome to The Feng Shui Money Couch where I talk about Feng Shui and other Woo. My name is Laura Carrillo aka The Feng Shui Lady! Today I’m talking about the intense and pivotal August Astrology. Think The Matrix meets Disclosure vibes! It’s a wild sky. I believe we are all feeling it. I actually had an astrology expert lined up for today and when they had to cancel at the last minute, I took it as a sign to speak on Astrology with my Feng Shui Lens. Because here’s the thing My work with Feng Shui is closely aligned with Astrology. Specific rituals, activations and energy work are dictated by the lunar cycles so I am very attuned with what’s happening Astrologically. This is such a big month energetically that I couldn’t escape talking about the Astrology of it all.We are currently in what is called The Lions Gate Portal and it peaks on Saturday August 8th and completes on the 12th. This episode drops on Friday August 7 just in time for Lions Gate.The Lion’s Gate Portal is a modern spiritual concept that happens every year on August 8 (8/8). Many people who follow astrology, numerology, and energy work believe it’s a particularly powerful time for setting intentions, reflecting, and focusing on personal transformation.So Saturday 8/8/26 which is actually a triple 8 because 26 reduces to the number 8. Is The Day After this Podcast Drops! I felt called to speak on this and share some insights and Feng Shui tools for navigating this powerful time.Lions Gate is based on a blend of ideas:* Leo season: The Sun is in Leo, a sign associated with confidence, creativity, courage, and the heart.* The star Sirius: Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, has long held symbolic importance, especially in ancient Egypt, where its annual reappearance coincided with the flooding of the Nile and was seen as a sign of renewal.* The number 8: In numerology, 8 symbolizes abundance, personal power, achievement, and the infinity symbol (∞). Because the portal peaks on 8/8, many view it as amplifying those themes.Here’s are some ways you can work with these energies and apply Feng Shui to cultivate your hopes and dreams. I would start by downloading my Free Feng Shui Basics course that comes with a free Bagua Map Download and an explanation on how to apply it. You can use this energy map to find the areas and themes of your home that activate your goals whether it’s Love, Money, to Health, or Career etc. Pick one or a few areas to focus on and find them in your home with the Bagua Map and:* Declutter any area connected to a goal you’re cultivating.* Refresh your wealth or career area if you’re focused on abundance.* Open windows, bring in fresh flowers, or light a candle to symbolize inviting new energy.* Write one clear intention and place it somewhere you’ll see it daily.These are simple activities that would be aligned with Saturdays 8/8 Portal. Even on Sunday the energy should still be in your favor.Leo Season Is Roaring with even more Astrological highlights.We have 2 Eclipses this month!A New Moon Solar Eclipse on 8/12/26 in Leo & a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on 8/28/26The caveat here is that Eclipse’s are not the time to try to Manifest anything specific or force your will.The paradox of Lions Gate as an initiation portal this month versus eclipse season which is more of a hand of god and divine intervention moment rather than manifesting one….Once we move past Lions Gate and into the eclipses you’ll want to see what the universe delivers and respond to things rather than initiating them. The signs will present themselves often as non negotiable changes that happen to us and ultimately for us even if they weren’t by choice.I can share personal examples to give life and context to how Lions Gate and the eclipses can work in your own life.During last year’s Lions gate I called in love with specific Feng Shui adjustments to my Love Gua. I actually met and started dating a soulmate after 2 years of celibacy on Lions Gate! It was intense and I was happy with my new lover for the first time in ages perhaps ever. We were pretty hot and heavy.Then a few weeks later the Eclipses happened my brother got very sick. My mother had passed away in February of last year and my father had been in steep decline ever since. Fortunately my brother lived with my father and was taking care of him but now he was facing a quadruple heart bypass and Kidney cancer simultaneously. I s**t you not! Even though I had just started a relationship and redecorated and Feng Shui’d my home, I was put in a position where I had to move to be close to my family. I feared the worst. That my brother w
