The 4/4 portal, occurring on April 4th, is a significant date for energetic alignment and transformation. This date is sometimes referred to as an ‘angel number’ portal, due to the repetition of the number four, which carries the vibrations and influences of the angelic realm as well as with the Queen of Angels, Divine Mother. Here is an exploration of the energetic and spiritual significance attributed to the 4/4 portal.

As you can see in today’s daily guidance video, the card of the day is another 4 energy card, The Emperor, potentially making this a 4-4-4 portal day if you feel the message resonates.
Because the 4/4 portal always happens in Aries Season, it feels extra significant that the main Aries energy card in the pack shows up to guide us today. The card that showed up yesterday, 3 of Wands (Sun in Aries) also emphasised the need to make the most of the current Aries Season energies for stability and self-empowerment. And, of course, we are coming up to a New Moon in Aries Solar Eclipse on Monday, 8/4. With the North Node currently in Aries and the 4/4 Portal happening in Eclipse Season, should we be surprised that The Emperor graces us with his presence?

The Spiritual Significance of the 4/4 Portal
A Gateway to Higher Energies
The 4/4 portal is a powerful time for receiving higher frequencies of energy from the universe. These energies can facilitate personal and collective awakenings, providing an opportunity for us to connect with our higher selves and beings residing in the higher realms of consciousness, as well as pursue our purpose with renewed vigour.
Amplification of Angelic Presence
The number 4 is associated with the presence of angels in numerology. Therefore, the 4/4 portal is sometimes seen as a period when angelic guidance and support are more readily available, encouraging individuals to seek out and listen to divine messages for direction and comfort.
