Today's oracle card "Blooming Decay" from the Midnight Oracle deck reminds us that beauty can emerge from endings, creating space for new beginnings and opportunities. The striking imagery of flowers blooming around a skull symbolizes life's cyclical nature and teaches us about our capacity for depth and growth.

• Endings (relationships, careers, chapters) create opportunities for new growth and experiences
• Beauty can come from endings, though they may initially feel painful
• Life moves in cycles - we can simultaneously be at the beginning of one journey while ending another
• Past experiences show us our true emotional capacity and expand our comfort zones
• Dark imagery in oracle cards can reveal positive insights when we embrace shadow aspects
• The remains of past experiences continue to teach us even after they've concluded
