Paths change. The journey stays the same.
Today, on this beautiful Monday Morning Thoughts for October 12th, 2026, I pulled several different cards that point to one direction…
Finding our way back to the person who we once were.
It is so easy to get side tracked on our journey. However, that road that led you somewhere else was for you to receive different experiences in order for your soul to evolve. After all, that is why we chose to come back. We have unresolved lessons that need to be learned in order to help us grow.
Mother Rose showed up in my reading this morning. I saw that as a “Return”. The Rose has been here much longer than us. We are living in a time of great division, learning and unlearning.
The Bloom showed up in my reading to help me bring forth a message about “blooming”, but taking a step back. The word fear kept coming into my field. I felt like there are many of us who get to a place where we should be celebrating the harvest we have created and take a step back. Perhaps, out of fear.
The Bud came in last for my three card spread. When The Bud comes in after The Bloom I read this as a constant reminder to keep going and to stop letting outside noise get in the way. Fear, shame, guilt, and a lack of self-worth. This is not negative, please do not think it is. This is a very freeing message. Simply, you are being asked to keep going because something is about to happen. Many times when we get to this point it gets uncomfortable and we tend to revert backwards in order to get back into our comfort zone.
The Metamorphosis card came flying out of my deck to piece everything together and showed up to remind us that…
“Like the caterpillar that emerges from its cocoon, you are about to get your wings”.
On a personal note…
As a child I remember being somewhere and always feeling a connection with others. And, I remember feeling completely depleted when I was around someone who made me feel uncomfortable. I was talkative, and always telling a story. I was a dreamer in the sense that my dreams usually always showed up in my reality, even the unpleasant ones. They call them Premonition Dreams. I was a Dreamer in all aspects of life. I always wanted to talk about them, not everyone wanted to listen. Academically, I was a struggling student and never fit inside the box that society forced on me. I was happiest when I was outside near trees, animals and children much younger than I. I was happiest when I was helping others and being surrounded by others who I truly connected with.
Being seen was important to me, sadly, my version of being seen wasn’t the version that was accepted by most. I felt things, and saw things that others normally passed on as some kind of crazy witchy thing. I was called “crazy” a lot and eventually just shut everything off. I was deeply connected to “the other side”.
I remember having severe “hormonal” issues as a teenager right up until adulthood. During adulthood I was faced with many thyroid and reproductive health issues. Simply, my body was not in balance with who I was and what I wanted to be. The doctors always told me it was hormones and so I went with that. If only I would have known and understood that the parts of me that were so unbalanced were directly connected to, “I feel”. It makes so much sense now! My emotions were always difficult for me to express. I was always creatively stuck or uninspired. I carried a lot of guilt around putting myself first, which left me feeling completely disconnected from myself and my own desires. Like the lotus, my path was filled with difficult experiences. As a forty-seven year woman I am understanding life a whole lot better. Through my experiences I have grown and learned so much, and for that I am beyond thankful.
I am writing this now as the woman who is becoming the girl I once was, again. I am slowly recognizing her again. The version of myself that still lives inside of me, but has been turned off to please everyone else around her. There’s a version of my younger self that still lives deeply within. I have been trying to be someone different for too long. Why? The obvious. I was seeking approval. I was surrounded by too many people that made me feel like I needed to be different. Maybe it was my own insecurities. I had a hand full in my corner, it’s the times where I was faced with challenges deeper than my soul wanted to feel when I felt out of place.
This week I would like you to think about the transformation you are currently going through, and I feel like this transformation has been going on for a very long time. The metamorphosis card showed up to remind you that you are at the end of the cycle. Perhaps, YOU need to end the cycle in cycling back around to “starting” when you feel uncomfortable.It is your time to bloom. Everything that you have experienced and all that you have learned is about to present itself to you and unfold. All of your stories and knowledge from everything you have experienced along the way is about to push you forward. It is up to you to decide how you embark on this new path on your journey. Where you were once feeling out of place, you are now at peace. Where you once felt lost, you are now found.
I am going to leave you with some questions to ponder…
What have you recently experienced that is changing your views on your life and the world around you?
Now that you have changed within, what needs to change in your outer world?
Until next time…
With love & light,
Diana Rose
