Spring Equinox Soul Journaling Service
Soul Journaling & a message to welcome Spring
Welcome to this sacred space to honor the Spring Equinox (Ostara)! Go ahead and set up a cozy space for you to listen or read.
As a reminder, a Soul Journaling Service is my personal take on a church service that calls for sacred reflection time. It typically includes a card spread and collective card reading, a Soul Journaling Session, and a meditation.
The Spring Equinox (Ostara)
Ostara, or the Spring Equinox, occurs March 20 in the Northern Hemisphere (September 20 in the Southern Hemisphere). It’s a day of equal daylight and darkness, and it is associated with the Goddess Ostara, a goddess of fertility.
The Spring Equinox also marks the start of a new Astrological year with Aries Season. It’s overall themes include new beginnings, reawakenings, fresh starts, growth, fertility, and beauty. It is a wonderful opportunity to notice the beauty around us and within us as everything begins to bloom.
The Goddess Card Spread
For this Spring Equinox, I decided to use a Goddess Card Spread I created initially for International Women’s Day. I unfortunately was sick and unable to use this spread for that day, but I realized that this overall theme and message of beauty and connecting with the inner Goddess fits very well with the Spring Equinox. I believe this message was actually intended for this time, and so I am honoring the delay and sharing it with you now!
Below is the card spread I used for collective reading. If you feel called to receive a more personal message, I encourage you to pull your own cards using this spread.
Opening Our Circle & The Collective Reading
In the above audio track, I begin with a visualization of all of us gathering in a sacred circle with the Goddesses. I then read the collective message, but the message is also written out below along with images of the cards I pulled.
The card decks I used for this collective message are The Modern Goddess Tarot by Cecilia Lattari, with illustrations by Petra Braun, and the Goddess Power Oracle by Colette Baron-Reid, with illustrations by Jena DellaGrottaglia.
When I do readings, I journal out a channeled message, so when I refer to “we” in the message below, I am referring to the Goddesses. This is also why grammar or sentence structure may be imperfect—please forgive any errors!
As always, take what resonates with you and release anything that doesn’t.
What goddess aspects do I currently carry or express in my life?
You are an expression of beauty, inside and out. We want to remind you that you are truly a Goddess, and you hold beautiful qualities internally and externally, you just have to be willing to see them within yourself and let the world really see you for all you are. In turn, this will help others see all that they are.
You have a rich inner life and journey. You are doing what they call "the work" internally, to understand and see yourself. Some of you are just at the beginning and may not see this yet, but you are on the right path. Your inner fire has been lit, and your inner light is shining the way forward. Your inner wisdom is your guide, and this is what helps you, and what will continue to help you, realize your dreams, to birth beautiful and valuable creations time and time again.
Your ability to reflect and truly learn from your experiences is something to be proud of. It is what gives you that inner power to move forward, even when there are many obstacles or challenges in your way. You know that you've learned from and overcome these in the past, and so you will once again.
You have the ability to see the beauty in everything, even in the most unlikely of places. You can see the beauty in your flaws and in other's flaws. You are able to see the beauty in both the extraordinary and ordinary moments. Do not be afraid to share this beautiful gift with others. Tell them what you see. Tell them what you see in them, so that your light may encourage theirs to shine brighter.
We hope you can see the beautiful being you are. We see it every day, and are here to help you feel and express it.
What is blocking me from fully stepping into my goddess energy?
Knowing your worth and celebrating the value you bring and the accomplishments you've made is vital to helping you confidently move forward and to express and embrace your goddess energy. The speed of life keeps you rushing ahead, never stopping to recognize and be grateful for how far you've come. You aren't making the time to express your joy, nor are you sharing your joy in these accomplishments with others. Celebrate yourself, celebrate others, and let others celebrate you.
Until you see the full picture of how far you've come, all that you've learned, and the value you bring to the table, you will struggle to form mutually beneficial partnerships, relationships, and friendships. You are at a stage in your journey where forming the right alliances can truly take you to the next level, but some of you are blocking your ability to attract these, primarily by not seeing the power and value you truly contribute.
Some of you aren't opening the door to seek support, while others are trapped in an alliance—a friendship, relationship, or partnership—that no longer serves you and doesn't give you the respect you deserve, but you are afraid to leave because you think you need this alliance. It's important to remember that partnerships and alliances built on mutual respect should uplift and encourage one another, and should be equal in giving and receiving.
Forming misaligned partnerships and alliances is often a result of inexperience. For some, this is inexperience with recognizing your own value because you've never been taught how to slow down, see it, and acknowledge it, and for others it's your inexperience with a certain situation or area. Your inexperience can lead you to getting distracted by the shiny objects and missing the red flags. If you are in an alliance that no longer serves you, or even if you've been part of them in the past, know that this is all a learning experience for you that will ultimately help you move forward.
And your lack of experience in a certain area doesn't mean you won't ever have the knowledge or skill you need. You just need to take time to do your research, practice, or learn about what you are unclear on or unsure about.
To fully embrace your goddess energy, we ask you to please remember to take the time to stop and acknowledge your accomplishments, to see how far you've come, and the value you add to any situation. And be humble enough to recognize when you don't know enough or don't have enough experience gathered just yet to know the best way forward. Simply take the steps to gather the knowledge and resources you need, and take the time to learn from your experiences. This is where your reflective nature and inner wisdom will serve you well.
How can I build a deeper connection to the goddesses and my own goddess energy?
Continuing to develop your relationship with your inner self and your intuition, while remaining committed to your own personal growth, is what will help you stay deeply connected with us and your own Goddess energy. You already have so much power within you that can be awakened through your ability to get quiet and listen to yourself, to follow the intuitive nudges and divine downloads.
Don't be afraid to examine what's in the shadows of yourself. Don't be afraid to let things end or fall away. Balance these with the light within you and with the gifts and messages coming to you. Free yourself from past resentments, wounds, and disappointments while also taking responsibility for your own actions in this life, learning from any mistakes or stumbles. As you learn from your experiences, you grow, restoring your hope and faith and opening the door to fresh starts.
Allow yourself to continuously grow, begin cycles and end cycles, always willing to be reborn anew, as a more enlightened version of yourself. This is the goddess energy, our energy, flowing in and through you. You are the bridge that connects us and the mystical with the physical world. Your job is to simply keep the flow going, applying your own intuitive mystical powers to your physical reality.
Summary
Remember that you carry within you so much beauty, the result of a rich inner life built through deep self-reflection. Use this inner beauty and your own powers of self-reflection to form the right partnerships and alliances that will help you achieve your dreams in this life. Know your worth, and celebrate every beautiful creation and milestone. Celebrate who you are. And as you move forward, continue to deepen your connection with your intuition and don’t be afraid of the hard work that goes into real, meaningful personal growth. Continue to flow with the cycles of life and trust that when one cycle ends, a beautiful new one can begin.
Your Soul Journaling Session
In the audio file below is a meditation followed by the Soul Journaling Session, which includes a prayer/activation and a prompt for the Soul.
The Activation
The prayer/activation that I use is written out below, along with the Soul Journal Prompt.
Thank you, Spirit Team—Ancestors, Spirit Guides, Ascended Masters, Angels—for guiding me today and all days. May I honor you and hear your whispers of wisdom.
Thank you, Goddesses, for guiding me and reminding me of my inner beauty and power. May I honor you and hear your whispers of wisdom.
Thank you, Higher Self, for guiding me today and all days. May I honor you and hear your whispers of wisdom.
Thank you, Soul, for weaving your story through me. Thank you for guiding me each and every step of the way. May I honor you and hear your whispers of wisdom.
Open your journal and directly ask your Soul for guidance. Receive the message in whatever forms it comes in—a vision or images, words, sounds, scents, feelings, a general sense of knowing. Allow the writing to flow freely or, if writing doesn’t feel right in the moment, simply sit and listen.
Your Soul Prompt:
Soul, what hidden or forgotten aspects of my inner beauty are ready to bloom?
How can I let this beauty shine forth?

Thank you for this sacred and timely offering. As I honored the Spring Equinox through my own writing—a love letter to my soul—I found deep resonance with the messages shared here. This month at The Wellness Chisme, we’ve been exploring the soul… and I recently wrote about how my ego began the letter, but somewhere in the middle, my soul took the pen.
Reading this collective goddess message felt like a continuation of that moment—where the mystical and the personal blur, and all that’s left is truth. The reminder to celebrate how far I’ve come, to trust the cycles, and to honor both shadow and light… it echoes everything my soul has been whispering lately.
I’m grateful for the invitation to sit in circle with the goddesses, to listen, reflect, and let my soul bloom a little more. Thanks, Marcy.
