Your Abundance Ritual

“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” – Eckhart Tolle 

This abundance ritual is a wonderful way to align yourself with the expansive and optimistic energies of the New Moon in Sagittarius. This ritual is designed to open the channels for abundance and prosperity to flow into your life. Feel free to adapt it to suit your personal preferences and spiritual practices!

What you will need…

Altar Space: Set up a dedicated space for your ritual, preferably facing the direction of the moon. Decorate it with items that symbolize abundance and prosperity, such as coins, greenery, or symbols that you associate with wealth.

Candles: Choose candles in the colors associated with Sagittarius – deep blue, purple, or gold – to represent the expansive and abundant energies of this sign.

Crystals: Select crystals that align with Sagittarius, such as amethyst for wisdom, citrine for abundance, or lapis lazuli for spiritual growth.

Offerings: Prepare an offering to the universe, such as a small bowl of honey, a handful of grains, or any other symbol of fertility and plenty.

Paper and Pen: Have a journal or a piece of paper and a pen for writing down your abundance intentions.

Let’s Begin…

Cleanse your space with incense or sage, allowing the smoke to purify the energy around you.

Light your candles, focusing on their warm glow as a representation of the Sagittarian fire element.

Place your offering on the altar as a symbolic gesture of your willingness to give and receive abundance. Express gratitude for the abundance that already exists in your life.

Take a few moments to sit down with your back upright and center yourself through several slow deep breaths. Visualize roots extending from your body into the earth, grounding you in the present moment.

With your pen and paper, write down your intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle. Focus on areas of your life where you want to expand, grow, and explore. Be specific and affirmative in your language. After you have written them down, with the clearest truth in your voice, say these intentions out loud. Feel the excitement and joy of these intentions already existing.

Hold the chosen crystals in your hands and charge them with your intentions. Place them on your altar or carry them with you as a reminder of the abundance you are calling in.

Express gratitude to the universe for the abundance that is on its way. Feel a sense of appreciation and trust in the divine timing of your manifestations.

Conclude the ritual by extinguishing the candles. You may choose to leave the crystals on your altar or carry them with you as a talisman of abundance.

Remember, the key to a successful ritual is personalization. Feel free to modify these steps, add elements that resonate with you, and make this ritual a reflection of your unique connection with the energies of the New Moon in Sagittarius.
