22 Equinox Journaling Prompts To Balance Your Life

Today's Equinox marks the day when daylight and night-time are equal in length. It also coincides with the sun entering Libra, which is linked to the Justice card in the Tarot.

So, whether you are celebrating the Spring or Autumn Equinox, the common theme is Balance.

Hence, the following equinox journaling prompts are universal rather than specific to any geographical location. 

These prompts are designed to explore opposing energies in our lives and find ways to align, adjust, and integrate them.

Creating balance in your life is an ongoing process, and with this collection of seasonal prompts you can do some serious but also fun and fascinating soul work over the coming weeks.

Each prompt consists of two positions. Draw a card for each, and if you like you can also draw a third card to explore how to align the opposing energies.

1. Withdraw from… / Connect with…

When Patience Becomes A Curse

Patience is a virtue.

Or is it?

I have been brought up to be patient, to avoid short-fused hot-tempered reactions, to take my time rather than rushing, to be patient with myself while trying to learn a new skill etc.

But along the way I have noticed that sometimes patience was holding me back.

Like when I was patiently

• tolerating toxic people, hoping they would change
• sticking with a shitty relationship, hoping it would miraculously turn into something wonderful
• enduring a dead-end job, hoping its boredom and lack of spirit wouldn’t kill me

It can be easy to confuse patience with not setting boundaries.

Because patience often requires effort, it can be exhausting after a while.

So when you draw Patience from the Cosmic Journaling Oracle deck, you can ask yourself:

1. Do I need to be more patient, or is it time to set some boundaries?
2. Who is testing my patience? Is it worth it?
3. In the past, in what situations should I have been more patient and why? And when did patience not serve me but stopped me from moving forward?
4. How do other people show patience towards me (in a family setting, amongst friends or at work)? Have I tested their patience?

Patience is a virtue, but it can also be a curse. How is patience serving you?

Warmest wishes,

Christiane
