Iris X Reading of the Week/Week beginning on 2/23/26:
This week's reading was done on a deck that I wouldn't have chosen for myself- but I actually love. My husband got The Pulp Tarot for me. He has a tendency to know what I will like, even if I do not. I actually love this deck and it is nothing like any other Tarot deck that I have.It is beautiful and vibrant, and has a sense of nostalgia to it that I adore. I shuffled the cards and asked for a reading for someone who will see this post. See if it's for you or someone that you know, it is a positive one!
The reading begins with the High Priestess. When you see this card, there is a doorway that you are approaching. Things are about to shift, and it is very important to follow your intuition. It may be important to maintain silence until just the right moment. This is an important time period, and things will not be the same once you pass through the doorway. Stay calm and pay attention. Listen more than you talk and read what is happening around you.
The Queen of Cups appears next. If this is your reading, you are quite sensitive, and tend to lead with your heart first. Your emotions are easily influenced and swayed, and it is important for you to stay in your own shoes and to trust yourself. You will tend to feel everyone's emotions and it is really important to distinguish your thoughts and feelings from those around you.
The Magician tells you to Act. This is a progression; first the time of waiting and paying attention, and then you act at exactly the right moment to accomplish your goals. This is a card of willpower, and manifesting the things that you want to see happen. It is a card of working with all of the opportunities in front of you, and knowing when to act to get the best possible result.
The key to this reading is The Star. It is a card of healing. But if we don't look at the story of Tarot, we may miss the reason that healing is required. You came through a really difficult time when everything seemed to blow up and fall apart. For a time, you may have felt frozen and still. With The Star, your head clears and you feel like you can move forward again. Things that seemed either stuck or frozen move and change. You feel inspired and awake again, and it's possible that it's been a long time since you have felt like this.
Here's what I see. If this is your reading, you have felt quiet for a long time. You have been hovering around a doorway, but not taking action. During this time, you have been developing your senses and intuition. You have listened and learned more than people believe that you know. When you are quiet, you take in information. And you have all of the information that you need. The question now is how to best move forward. Your emotions are on the outside right now, and you are feeling quite sensitive. There will be a time to act, and you will have to jump on it. With the Magician, it will become clear when the time is right to make a change. Your gut will tell you what to do next, and will be more effective than the best laid plans. You have felt down and lost for a while now, and your time of waiting is coming to an end. You are going to be feeling creative, inspired, and healed. But first, you have to come to the end of your silence and act. In this reading, you are a Queen, and it is time for you to stand up tall. There are things that you can make happen that were previously blocked from you. If you have been feeling lost, you will soon find your way.
