A 2025 Guide to Manifestation and Clarity
Every year on August 8th, we step into a powerful energetic alignment known as the 888 Portal, or Lion's Gate. But in 2025, the energy is particularly potent. Why? Because this year brings a heightened focus on clarity, self-leadership, and soul alignment. And crystals are one of the most grounded, intuitive tools you can use to tune into that frequency.
Whether you're deep into manifestation work or simply feeling the pull to reconnect with your higher self, the 888 Portal is your invitation to go inward and upward.
What is the 888 Portal and Why Does It Matter?
The 888 Portal is marked by the alignment of the star Sirius with the Sun in Leo. Sirius has long been associated with wisdom, higher consciousness, and spiritual activation. As this star aligns with Earth, many people report feeling a lift in energy, like a cosmic push towards their highest potential.
Numerologically, the number 8 is tied to abundance, empowerment, and infinite cycles. So when it’s amplified threefold (8/8), the energetic doorway it creates is one of expansion, momentu,m and magnetic clarity.
It’s a time to set big intentions, move past fear, and lean into the version of yourself that’s waiting just beyond self-doubt.
Working with Crystals During the 888 Portal
Crystals are incredibly supportive during energetic portals like this. Their frequencies hold steady while everything else shifts around you — they anchor, amplify, and guide.
Here are the crystals I recommend for this year’s 888 Portal, each selected for their ability to help you manifest, alig,n and expand:
Golden Healer Quartz This high-vibration crystal helps you clear stagnant energy and connect with divine purpose. It supports deep healing and aligns all chakras, helping you radiate from within.
Carnelian For bold, confident action. Carnelian brings courage, motivation and creativity — perfect if you’ve been sitting on an idea or holding back from something you know you’re meant to pursue.
Pyrite Known as “Fool’s Gold”, but its energy is anything but. Pyrite supports confidence, focus and abundance. It’s especially helpful for calling in financial clarity or stepping into leadership.
Labradorite One of my go-to crystals for intuition and transformation. Labradorite helps you trust your path, release outdated patterns, and connect to your inner knowing.
Clear Quartz As ever, clear quartz is the amplifier. Use it to charge your intentions, expand the reach of your manifestations, or bring clarity to your visualisation practice. You can also place it in the centre of any crystal grid you create.
How to Use These Crystals During the 888 Portal
You don’t need a big ritual or elaborate setup. What matters most is your intention. Here are a few ways to work with these crystals:
Hold one while journaling your intentions or visualising what you want to call in.
Create a simple crystal grid using the shape of an 8 or infinity symbol.
Lie down and place crystals on your energy centres while meditating.
Carry your chosen crystal with you throughout the week, letting its energy support your decisions and mindset.
Energy Healing and the 888 Portal
If you’d like more support during this energetic shift, my energy healing sessions often include crystal work and sound healing. Together, we can focus on clearing old blocks and aligning with the version of you that’s already waiting on the other side of the fear.
If you’re not sure which crystal is right for your manifestation work this year, feel free to email me. I offer 1:1 support and have statement pieces available that are especially resonant with the portal’s energy.
The 888 Portal isn’t about rushing or pressure. It’s about aligning, coming back to yourself, and setting intentions from a place of trust and clarity. Let the crystals guide you, but remember that the most powerful energy of all is the one that lives within you.
Wishing you a grounded and expansive Lionsgate season.
