It’s officially Sagittarius season! No matter whether this is the season for cozy scarves and hot chocolates or the early days of summer for you, this is a time of year that heralds in a celebratory and festive spirit. Here are 5 tried and tested manifestation techniques that I will personally be using to manifest my wishes while working with the energies of the season.

Going on sunrise walks

Now that the weather is getting colder (at least here in the northern hemisphere) and usually a lot windier and more rainy, too, it takes a bit more motivation to be active outside, but it is so worth it. Sagittarius is all about travel and exploration and there’s nothing better than a walk out in nature to clear your head and find a sense of calm.

A walk out in nature is beneficial at any time of the day, but as a manifestation technique walks during sunrise just take it to another level. There is something about that early morning atmosphere outside, the sense of possibility and potential while the world is slowly starting to wake and start about their day, that is unlike any other time of the day. I love listening to a good inspirational podcast during this time as I feel that I can take in the content and digest it so much better than on any other occasion, but bonus points if you can go without any headphones and just be present to yourself and your surroundings.

Getting a new book or signing up for an online course

Sagittarius represents wisdom and higher education, so this is an excellent time to learn a skill that will take you closer towards your goals. Manifestation is not just about visualising an end goal while sitting on the couch expecting things to come to you. Action is a key component but without proper education it can be difficult to know where to start.

Consider the version of you that has already manifested something you are currently dreaming about. What skill set does this version have that you currently lack? Now that you have identified it, go and learn about it. There are so many ways to educate yourself now, many of them very affordable or even completely free online or at your local library. We do want to be careful not to get stuck in an endless research loop and avoiding the (often uncomfortable) action which will actually make a difference, but if there’s ever a good time for learning and research, it is now.

Shopping for party outfits

This one is optional based on your preferences of course, but generally Sagittarians are known to be the life of every party and we all adopt a bit of that sparkle when the sun goes through this sign. Granted, party season can be overwhelming at times, so make sure you only commit to those outings you will truly cherish. Treating yourself to a new party outfit will make these all the more exciting.

Even if spending on new clothes is not a priority for you right now, whether due to financial or environmental reasons, an interesting manifestation technique to try is going to the kinds of stores that you would love to shop in if money were no issue. Get yourself acquainted with them, get comfortable in them and start mentally spending the money from your desired future. Visualise yourself walking out with shopping bags full of new treasured pieces.

Planning your next getaway

In the Sagittarian spirit of adventure, this is a great time to start planning for your next getaway. Even if there isn’t one on the horizon for you right now due to financial or time constraints, gain the clarity on where you would like to go, the places you would stay, the sights you would see and the restaurants you would eat at. The hopeful, optimistic spirit of this time will make it so much easier to see yourself having these experiences, opening yourself up to have them delivered to you through perhaps unexpected, magical ways.

Donating your time and/or money

One of the most wonderful, albeit counterintuitive techniques to manifest more abundance in your life is to start giving stuff away. Whether that’s things, money, or the most precious resource of all: time. Giving to others signals that you already have plenty and that you trust fully that your needs will always be taken care of. It’s an acknowledgment that separation is nothing but an illusion and that we are all one. The festive magic that lies in the air during Sagittarius season turns many of us naturally more altruistic, but what if we didn’t stop there but actually kept this going year round?
