A Simple Sagittarius Luck Spell (For Anyone!)

Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Enfys J. Book, author of Queer Qabala and co-author of the new Sagittarius Witch.

Sagittarians, with our ruling planet of Jupiter, are known for being lucky. Whatever your sun sign, however, this spell will help align circumstances in your favor in a situation, giving it a little nudge of luck from the universe with the help of our planetary friend Jupiter. To add extra oomph to this spell, do it on a Thursday, preferably during Jupiter hour. (You can find out when planetary hours are here or on a planetary hours app on your phone or tablet.)

You will need:

• A penny or other coin (preferably from the year you were born, or a year when you had particularly good fortune)
• Two pieces of plain paper
• Markers or pens in green, blue, and one other color

Before doing the spell, design a sigil to represent a situation you’d like turned in your favor. If sigil-making isn’t part of your regular practice, simply write a word that summarizes the situation, remove the vowels, remove any duplicate letters, then arrange the remaining letters together so they are touching or overlapping, forming a shape you like. Try several different iterations until you find one that works for you. (For a fascinating book on sigil-making, check out Laura Tempest Zakroff’s Sigil Witchery.)

On a fresh piece of paper, draw a four-leaf clover in green, large enough to write and draw other things inside of it. As you draw, focus on the word and concept of luck.

Inside the four-leaf clover, draw a large Jupiter symbol in blue: ♃ As you draw, focus on the word Jupiter and the concepts of expansiveness and good fortune.

Inside the Jupiter symbol, draw the sigil you created for your situation in a color that makes sense to you. As you draw, focus on the situation and how you’d like it to go.

Now, take the coin and place it in the middle of your drawing. Stare at the coin and visualize the coin absorbing the sigil you created, the Jupiter symbol, and finally the four-leaf clover. Hold your dominant hand over the coin and focus your intention on the luck you’d like to receive. Visualize the best possible outcome for the situation and push that energy into the coin. When you feel the energy is secure inside the coin, snap your fingers three times to seal it.

Keep the piece of paper in a safe place, or burn it.

Carry the coin with you as a charm. When you feel you’ve received the luck you needed, cleanse the coin with sacred smoke, briefly soaking it in saltwater, or another energetic cleansing method, and spend it as you normally would.

Remember that you also have to both believe the charm will work and do mundane work to create luck: If you don’t send out resumes, it’s unlikely you’ll get a job offer. If you don’t make an effort studying, it’s unlikely you’ll get a good grade. Try to do everything in your power in the mundane world to align a situation in your favor, and this spell will help nudge things over the finish line.

You can find more spells and rituals like this one in Sagittarius Witch, which I co-authored with Ivo Dominguez, Jr. and several other amazing Sagittarian contributors. It’s part of Llewellyn’s Witch’s Sun Sign series, which has a book for every sun sign. Go find yours and learn how you can be the best possible witch you can be!
