Iris X Reading of the Week/Week beginning on 9/22/25:
Wishing a Happy Autumn Equinox to the friends of Iris X. Liminal times and spaces are quite powerful and today, daytime and nighttime are equal. The balance is only momentary, as are all in between times, and we will see the weather and balance of light and dark change more every day. This is a time of harvest and gratitude for the work that has been done and the fruits of labor. May you and yours be blessed with abundance and wealth in all forms. I shuffled the Raven's Dream Tarot and asked for a reading for someone who will see this post. Read on and see if it's for you or someone that you know. This reading is for someone who truly deserves to celebrate what they are harvesting in their life.
The reading begins with the Five of Wands showing a time of struggle and challenge. If this is your reading, you have been challenged by something that you are able to push through. You have pushed yourself past what you thought you could manage. The fight you have been in has been for a higher purpose- something really good will come from it if it has not yet. This is a card making it through challenge, debate, competition and finding the energy to stay upright in hard times. Your life has not been easy but you have not stopped fighting.
The Six of Wands is the next card in the reading And the card sequentially to follow the Five of Wands in Tarot. This is a card of victory and success. It suggests taking a break to celebrate a win. The Six of Wands is a card of success following a challenge. It is a time to take a breath and pat yourself on the back a bit. You have made it through something hard and have come to the other end of it successfully. It may not be in your nature to put yourself in the center to congratulate yourself. Do it anyway- you have made it through something big that deserves recognition.
The Magician is card 3 in the reading, showing you able to use your willpower to make things happen. You are in a place of power and control again. You are successful, powerful and able to manifest your willpower. The Magician is a card of action and movement, and taking the steps necessary to make things happen. It is the ability to think around corners and be cunning when it matters most. You have a lot of power right now, and it is important to direct it well.
The key is the Three of Cups. This is a card of friendship and working together. The key to your situation right now is to not be alone. Gather with other people. Celebrate success. Come up with plans that you can make happen together. Be lighthearted but focused. You can get more done with some help from your friends. Having down time to celebrate and laugh is what gives you the power to keep moving forward.
Here's what I see. If this is your reading, you have recently pushed through a very difficult challenge. You may still even be in the middle of it. It was very hard but you made it to the other side and now you are victorious. Your struggle has become a 'win', and you are successful. You are coming into a position of power and control where you are able to use your wit and mind to make things happen in your life. You have a lot of possibilities moving forward, and The Magician sets you up to be successful. It may sound simple but- you could use a break. Gather with some friends and celebrate the success that you have had. You made it through something very hard, and although it may not be your instinct- pause for a moment and just be. Take a breath. Go on a trip with some friends. The challenge that you went through was very personal- even isolating at times. But now you are in a place to reach out to friends and family and lighten up your mood a bit. Have some fun- your friends will do your soul a world of good.
