This Lion’s Gate on Friday August 8, 2025 presents a challenge. It’s an 8-8 day, the 8th day of the 8th month in a 9-year, the final year in the current cycle. Its numerology is quite challenging this year (a 25, 8 day), requiring us to review our pasts, astutely observing people and our relationships with them, using the tools of discrimination and analysis to gain insights into those relationships.

If we ever hope to end ‘separation consciousness’ we can’t be running away every time someone says something that triggers us.

Have we lost the courtesy of asking after each other? Or, at least losing it fast?

"Going with the flow" ultimately offers nothing. There's a much better approach to solving problems, and it involves two people.
