As the wheel of the year turns, the Autumn Equinox 2025 brings us into a moment of perfect balance.
Light and shadow stand equal before we journey deeper into the darker half of the year (or toward spring if you’re in the southern hemisphere). For me, the equinox isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s an invitation. An invitation to pause, breathe, reflect, and realign.
That’s why I created a special creative journalling ritual to honour this sacred time.
In my latest YouTube video, I guide you through a step-by-step process to work with Equinox and Eclipse energy using colour, symbolism, and intentional journalling.

Why Journalling at the Equinox Matters
The equinox is a powerful choice point—a time to release old cycles and consciously step into new ones.
In my ritual, I weave together:
Ritual practices (lighting a candle, drawing boundaries, creating sacred space)
Astrological energies (a Virgo New Moon Eclipse moving into Libra balance)
Nature’s wisdom (leaves, feathers, and symbols gifted by the season)
Creative expression (using colour, words, and imagery to anchor intention)
By combining ritual with creative journalling, we don’t just think about change—we embody it.
5 Insights from My Journalling Process
💫 Equinox is balance in action – light and shadow coexist, reminding us to embrace both.
💫 Symbols hold power – a ladybird for protection, leaves for heart energy, feathers for lightness.
💫 Colour channels intention – red for passion, green for grounding, gold for shining your light.
💫 The eclipse energy says “Enough” – we’re invited to release what no longer serves.
💫 Journalling creates integration – blending ritual, words, and art brings clarity and calm.
Try These Journalling Prompts
If you’d like to join me in reflection, here are three prompts from my practice:
✍️ What am I ready to release as I step into a new cycle?
✍️ Where can I invite more balance between light and shadow in my life?
✍️ Which higher frequency—joy, trust, gratitude, or love—do I want to embody this season?
Grab your journal, light a candle, and see what flows.

This is more than journalling—it’s an equinox ritual of renewal, balance, and sacred pause. If you’d like to follow along and create your own equinox page, watch the video here:
Final Reflection
The equinox reminds us that transformation begins with choice.
In the space between endings and beginnings, we can root into balance, release old patterns, and invite in joy, love, and gratitude.
