The Alchemy of Becoming
A Rose Unfolding Within & Around Us
There comes a moment in every personal and collective journey when we are called to transform. The world shifts, and something within us stirs in response. Beneath the noise, beyond the chaos, an ancient remembering rises. “The Rose That Gives The Bees Honey,” a seven-card reading constructed by Kim Krans, illuminates what is within an alchemical landscape of one’s self. Lately, I find myself drawn to these seven-card readings, and rightly so. The number 7 is rich with deep meaning, resonating with mystery, intuition, and the unseen forces shaping our existence. In astrology, Neptune is the ruler of the ocean, a vast, boundless expanse that mirrors the depths of the soul.
Neptune dissolves boundaries, blurring the lines between reality and dream, self and other, past and present. It calls us to surrender, to trust the unseen currents that guide us. With each seven-card spread, I am not just seeking answers; I am remembering the language of the deep, where intuition speaks in whispers and revelations rise like hidden islands from beneath the surface. This bridge is a sacred path between my inner world and the greater cosmic flow. Each one is a ripple, part of a greater movement, reminding me that to be sensitive is not to be lost at sea but to be in harmony with the rhythm of existence itself.
Like the tides that ebb and flow under the moon’s pull, my sensitivities are not burdens to be tamed but currents to be understood. As an Empath, I feel energies beyond what is spoken or seen. Emotions move through me like waves, sometimes gentle and rhythmic, sometimes crashing and wild. But rather than being at their mercy, I know the wisdom they hold. These readings, this unfolding, remind me that self and world are not separate but reflections of one another, much like the sea reflects the sky.
What blooms within is what blooms without. The longing for change, the fire of transformation, and the golden light awaken the weaver and bring this magic from the fabric of existence.
Veneris ~ Venus ~ The Call of the Heart
“The Laboratory is alight with love. You may be in love with the Work, the materials, another person, or the world itself. Seeing beauty in small moments is a sign Venus is in balance.” Every great transformation begins with desire, not fleeting or shallow, but the profound pull of something beyond reach. Venus whispers love, beauty, and the sacred longing that propels us forward. Within you is an ache for something more, a yearning for personal fulfillment, and a longing for the world to be a reflection of the harmony you carry in your soul. The heart of humanity beats with the same longing. The call to remember is to return to a state of connection within ourselves, with one another, and with the living world. The awakening has begun, and the pulse of Venus is guiding us home.
What is your heart longing for? And can you feel the world longing for it, too?
Rosa Auream ~ Golden Rose ~ The Sacred Bloom
“I know the secrets of love. Throughout the night, I give my love call. It is I who set the Rose in motion and move the hearts of lovers. Continuously, I teach new mysteries. When the Rose returns to the world in Summer, I open my heart to joy. My secrets are not known to all, but the Rose knows them. I think of nothing but the Rose; I wish nothing but the ruby Rose. Can the nightingale live but one night without the Beloved?” Parliament of the Birds by Faridudden Attar
The rose is the moment of unfolding, the process by which raw experience becomes wisdom, wounds alchemize into strength, and what once felt impossible becomes inevitable. It is the sacred bloom of transformation, not just for you but for the world itself. The petals of truth, once tightly furled, are beginning to open. The collective is shifting, shedding old paradigms and awakening to new ways of being. But blooming is not effortless; it requires surrender, trust, and the willingness to grow beyond the familiar. Don’t try to be the master. Honor what you hold within as you transform your thoughts and recognize the process.
Where are you resisting your unfolding? And where is the world still clinging to what must be released?
Sorror Mystica ~ Mystical Sister ~ The Guides and Kindred Spirits
“Between you exists an alchemical pact based on respect, honesty, and unconditional love. It’s as if you’ve known each other for many lifetimes.” No one walks this path alone. Whether seen or unseen, a force guides you with ancestral whispers, soul connections, and sacred knowledge carried in the marrow of your being. The presence of the Mystical Sister reminds us that there is support, that we are part of something greater, and that wisdom moves through us like an ancient river. Across the world, kindred spirits are finding each other. The divisions imposed upon us fade as we recognize one another not by name but by resonance. The age of separation is ending, and the web of remembrance is weaving throughout us. The time for healing is NOW. When I heal, you heal.
Who or what is guiding you? How can you help the collective find its way back to unity?
Solis ~ Sun ~ The Illumination of Truth
The light does not discriminate; it reveals everything. It is the moment when illusion burns away when what was hidden cannot remain in shadow. Within you is the reckoning with self, the clarity that asks you to see yourself fully, without the stories, without the masks. Pay attention to what your body is telling you, or face the burn of the radiant sun.
What are you finally ready to face?
The collective is undergoing this same reckoning. False narratives crumble. The past rewrites itself when the light of truth becomes illuminated. The light is not gentle, but it is necessary. We cannot transcend what we refuse to acknowledge.
What truth are you asked to accept? And where does ignorance show up in the world?
Argentum ~ Silver ~ The Softening, Receptive Self
After revelation comes surrender; silver is the metal of fluidity, the sacred feminine principle of deep listening and intuition. There is a time for action but also a time for stillness, a time to soften, receive, and trust that these realizations do not need forcing. With an open heart, allow the fluidity of this knowing to wash through you.
The world, too, is asked to listen, pause, and feel. The long-revered structures of force and dominance are giving way to something more fluid and harmonious.
But will we allow it? Can we surrender the need to control and instead trust the unfolding?
Aurum ~ Gold ~ The Refinement, The Purest Self
True alchemy is not about becoming something else but revealing what was always there beneath the weight of experience. Gold is the purest form of the self, the essence that remains after the fire has burned away all that is false. You are stepping into this radiance now, not as someone new, but as the most authentic version of who you have always been. In this journey, you receive a precious gift not quantified by physical weight. It is something that goes beyond the constraints of time and space and is truly invaluable. The world is also refining. Struggle, illumination, and resistance are transforming the collective. What emerges from this is resilient, luminous, and undeniable.
What forged through the fire in you?
Splendor Solis ~ Sun’s Splendor ~ The Emergence into Radiance
In the alchemist’s laboratory, they realize that kindness and generosity are the key ingredients. The time for hiding is over. The final stage of transformation is not just the internal shift but the willingness to step forward, be visible, and be unafraid. You are no longer becoming; you are. The question now is: What will you do with your light?
For the world, this is a threshold moment. We are standing at the dawn of a new cycle, a new consciousness. But light does not simply rise; it is embodied and shared. The future is not something we wait for; it is something we create.
How will you share your light? And how will we, together, shape the world that is to come?
Final Reflection
The golden rose is unfolding within you and in the world around you. Every step of transformation, every moment of surrender, and every truth revealed is part of this great alchemical process. Like a moth to a flame, you cannot resist it.
We are not separate from the changes taking place. We are the change.
We are the alchemists of this time, each holding a piece of the unfolding story.
The petals are unfurling. The light is rising.
Will you rise with it?
