The Silver Gate of Aldebaran: A Soul Ritual for Sacred Re-alignment (part four of five)
When the royal star Aldebaran opens its silver gate, a rare moment arrives—a portal through which old soul contracts may be released and new pathways called in. In this ritual of sacred re-alignment, you are invited to listen beyond the mind, to work with celestial timing, and to remember who you came here to be. For those who feel the pull of the stars not as prediction, but as invitation, this is a ceremony of return—to your light, your truth, your destiny.

It feels incredibly potent to me, that I am doing so much work with Soul Contracts - family legacies, past-life karmic bonds, all related to finance and wealth, right at the time that the Aldebaran Silver Gate Portal opens.
Aldebaran is often called the Watcher of the East, guardian of spring's light, and associated with royalty, divine mission, legacy, and wealth of a higher order—not just money, but destiny. Aldebaran is also believed to be the home of the Silver Gate Portal: one of those cosmic alignments that opens a shimmering doorway between timelines—soul memories, karmic contracts, future blessings.
This is no mere coincidence, and of course I have to work with this gateway now to seal my work in releasing my Soul Contracts.

Temple Ritual: Through the Aldebaran Gate
Receiving Soul-Aligned Fortune, Guidance, and Restoration
The Field Was Set:
I called in my Ancestors—the Council of All Beings gathered in silence.
I placed:
The Nine of Wands: the past life self still guarding what was lost.
The Four of Pentacles reversed: the lineage of my father, and the soul contract of financial incapacity.
The Five of Pentacles: the ghost of scarcity.
The Ace of Cups and Ten of Swords: the past life deep soul wound made manifest.
All symbols of what I've been working with over these last few days. What I wish to be witnessed and fully released from.


And I placed:
The Great Mother and the Guardian: energies of healing, restoration, and return.
To guide the process, the Rattle came: the shaman’s tool of clearing, calling, reclaiming.
And I felt myself become the rattle.
The Rattle's energy rose through me to my crown. I became the tool of clearing old energy and calling in the new.
I laid a silver necklace as the Gate—a living threshold.
I chose an object to represent a new inner restoration, an inner light - a beaded bracelet made in sacred community, offered to me in a circle of women, exchanged for a SoulPath reading.
This is the fire, the cauldron of community that I wish to be lit in me: abundance beyond capitalism, soul over system.
I placed it within the gateway portal.
For the symbol of restored fortune, I offered my half-moon ring—
a sacred talisman I wear always. I placed it on the Guardian card.


“Aldebaran, Watcher of the East,
Guardian of sacred fortune and noble alignment,
I open this gate not to chase riches,
but to receive what was always mine in spirit.”
“I have released the false contract.
I now return—not as an heir of ego,
but as a Guardian of the Good,
keeper of the sacred fire,
vessel of the dreaming world.”
I anointed myself with water and rose oil—
feminine wisdom to soften the masculine edge of all this financial anxiety energy.
And then I called on the Gate itself—
not just a symbol, but a current.
I attuned to the souls passing through, those waiting to reincarnate. I felt them as galaxies, as spirals of fairy dust. I asked for their wisdom from their many lived lives to pass through me. I asked them to settle with me for just a moment, and whisper their medicine as they return to this world. They streamed into my hands like warm honey and I felt their resonance.
“I seal the Silver Gate behind me.
Not to forget the past, but to honour that it is complete.
I now walk forward as a vessel of blessing,
a magnet for what is mine in soul truth.
So it is.”
The Oracle Spoke:
What I am now ready to receive:
🪶 Eight of Wands + “Open”
Momentum. Alignment. Swift unfolding.
A divine invitation to say yes to life and the new opportunities coming.
The spiritual legacy I carry forward:
🐍 Seven of Fire + The Serpent
Courage. Clarity. Sacred shedding.
I walk with medicine and courage, to shed what doesn't belong to me.
To release old legacies and contracts.
How my restored fortune will express itself:
🌟 The Star + Sophia
I walk now in alignment with divine wisdom.
I embody my fortune as the blueprint of my destiny is already known
Final blessing:
🌿 Ace of Earth – Healing
I am here to tend.
To grow medicine.
To become the pouch that carries the healing herbs.
And So the Gate Closed:
I put the ring back on my finger.
The necklace back around my neck.
The bracelet back on my wrist.
I did not leave with more—
I left with rightful alignment.
I am the new sacred unfolding.






And so I walk forward as I feel I am becoming. The contracts ripped up. The old vows laid down. I cross this threshold not in search of fortune, but in remembrance of my role as its rattle, medicine pouch, guardian, serpent and lion. I will listen for the pattern beneath the pattern, the pulse of Sophia stirring the stars. What comes next is not mine to force—but I am open, rooted, and ready to receive.


If this resonates…
You may feel a stirring when the stars align: a subtle pull at the edge of your awareness,
a sense that something is ready to shift, to be released, remembered, or reborn.
Perhaps you’ve been holding a longing you can’t quite name.
Or sensing a threshold moment—a portal—
where your past no longer fits,
but your future hasn’t fully arrived.
I can help you to work with sacred eclipse portals, gateways, transits or a simple full moon. We can find your story and map it astrologically to add potency, to align your soul with sacred timing.
If you feel ready to release the old and call in your next becoming—
this may be your place to enter.
If this stirs something in you,
even just a whisper,
then you are most welcome to step in with me.
I will hold you with utmost care and presence,
and be honoured to journey with you, wherever it may lead.
