Iris X Reading of the Week: Week beginning on 10/6/2025:
Happy October to the friends of Iris X Readings! I know a lot of people think of this as 'spooky' season, but... I just love Autumn. It is a sacred time for me; often quiet and reflective (in the midst of work!). I remember ghosts both alive and not. I remember old friends; some with me still. Others have long passed. Some, I just don't have in my life anymore. I am nostalgic in October, remembering all kinds of situations- both good and bad; that have made me into who I am. And so, for me- it truly is a season of change, death, and rebirth. I am all of the versions of me that I have ever been; just with a lot more wisdom and discernment now. This reading was done on the Santa Muerte Tarot- a favorite of mine, year round. This is an impactful one- all Major arcana. Read on- see if it's for you.
The reading begins with The Tower. Something has fallen apart. It is a shock; things are upside down and spinning. You don't know which end is up, only that you are no longer trapped in the situation that has been holding you back. Things have been really hard for a long time and it will take some time to find solid ground under you again. Things have shifted, the Tower is collapsing- and now you get to see what is there when the dust settles.
Justice appears next with the skeleton holding the scythe and the scales. There are forces larger than us and more important than any law. It is the force of equilibrium. When the scales get set off balance, they will always find a way to right themselves again. Sometimes, this indicates a loss to compensate for the imbalance. If this is your reading, there has been something quite unjust happening in your life. The Tower is falling and Justice is served.
The High Priestess is next showing silence as the best way forward. This is a card of peace, wisdom, and staying still in the center of a storm. She is standing at a gate, offering clarity. On the other side of the gate, everything changes. You are in a very important time in your life right now. Things are going to shift and change and be quite different after this. Stay calm; speak to Spirits, read books and cards- find the wisdom and walk through the door.
The key to this reading is The Wheel of Fortune. There are forces and patterns much larger than you and I. This is the card of the powers of Fate. The Wheel spins, and everything changes. It is not necessarily good or bad- that's not how the world works. It simply Is. There are times when we Think we are in control when we realize that there is something bigger that has been guiding the way the whole time. The wheel is spinning and things are shifting.
Here's what I see. If this is your reading, you have been going through an ordeal. A Tower has fallen, and you have not yet found the ground under your feet. You feel spun around and stunned. There were scales out of balance that have found their way back to a place of equilibrium. Something that was unfair and unjust has been revealed. You are watching people have to be accountable for their actions. All you have to do is Be. Stay calm and centered. Don't get pulled into the fray and avoid extremes. Maintain a practice of peace and silence. Draw lines and declare that your space is sacred and it shall not be crossed. All you have to do is Be at this point. There are forces larger than you at work, and you are along for the ride instead of being in charge of the situation. The Wheel is spinning and the patterns are pointing towards the breaking down of something Big that leads to Justice being served. Stay silent and introspective. Watch it all play out without being in the center of it. You are not in control- just go along with the winds and watch what happens. This is a reading of All Major arcana cards- something big is happening. You are a part of it- but you are not weaving the overall pattern. Something that is meant to be is playing out right now.
