Iris X Reading of the Week/Week beginning on 8/11/25
Greetings to the friends of Iris X Readings! This week, I am working with The Avian Tarot by Brittany Lyn Batchelder again! When I first get a new deck, I tend to spend some time focusing on it and getting to know it. This one makes me want to research Birds! There are 78 birds to represent the 78 Tarot cards. The connections that she made are quite impressive! I shuffled the cards and asked for a reading for someone who will see this post. I never know who it will be for until I post it. Read on- see if it's for you! At the end of the post, there will be information about Pending Readings- readings that are paid for and available for people who need some guidance and support.
The reading begins with The Chariot/Alpine Swift. This is the card of movement forward, momentum and power. If this is your reading, you have some serious goals that you are in the process of trying to accomplish! You have all of the power that you need to do this. You have prepared quite well and have a good plan. You have something that you are meant to do and it is time to move forward with it.
The Devil/Blackbird appears next. There may be some things that are holding you back that are hard to get past. You feel like you have something that is draining your energy, time and power. You feel tied into something that is not good for you. You have chains to remove and people/situations that you should walk away from. You have been feeling unhappy and exhausted. You are not sure how to get out of the trap that you are in.
The Nine of Pentacles/Peacock shows you in a position of success and prosperity. With this card, you will have all that you need. You will be able to putter about and work in a way that is the most effective for you. You do your best work when you are on your own. You are able to maintain your focus and even finish your tasks faster than expected. This is a card of leisure; and when you see it, you know that there is a high potential for financial success.
The key to this reading is The Ten of Wands/Secretary Bird. This is a card of accomplishing your goals against all odds. It is about having a burden and finding a way to manage it well. The Secretary bird glares at you from this card and says- maybe you should move forward. Even if it is challenging, you will be successful. You will be able to pull everything together and make it all work. Have some faith in yourself.
Here's what I see. You have something that you are meant to do. You have major goals that you would like to accomplish, and you have been working on it all for a very long time. But you feel like you are held back by circumstances that are blocking your path forward. You have great energy going into this- and then the Devil drains your energy and power and you feel like you are at a loss trying to figure out how to make everything work. If you can keep your energy focused and productive, you will actually be quite successful. You may even make enough income to feel comfortable and be able to take some time off to enjoy the life that you have worked so hard to have. It is important to know that even with the things that are challenging you, you will be successful. Right now, it may feel like there is too much to do. Everything may be scattered and hard to figure out. But you Will pull it all together. You have put a lot of work into your goals, and you are heading in a good direction. Sometimes, we have to count on the work that we have already done to carry us. You are going to be able to accomplish your goals, even if you feel like it is not possible. Have a bit of faith in yourself and your own power and resilience. Things are moving forward. This reading shows the problem and the solution.
