Good morning and happy Moon day to the friends of Iris X Readings! This week's reading was done on The Wayfarer Tarot; a Tarot deck co created by me and Margaret Shipman- and absolutely one of my favorite decks to work with.
The reading begins with the High Priestess. If this is your reading, your focus has turned inward. You have been paying attention more and listening better than you ever have. You are right in the center, and perhaps have been working on a spiritual practice. You have been staying calm, and not getting pulled to extremes. You have been doing a lot of work to find peace, and it is likely that this has not been easy.
The II of Water/Cups appears next, showing the potential for a connection with someone. It is relatively new; something that you can explore if you wish. Your focus is quickly shifting from yourself to another person. You are at an early stage in the relationship /friendship, and so far, things are looking very good.
The VIII of Cups wraps up the reading showing you walking away from love. It's not the other person, it is you. You feel like something is missing or incomplete, and you had been working on figuring out what that was. This is a card of Vision quest, and spending time in solitude to find your way. You have been looking for your answers in other people, and you are the only one with the answers.
The key to the week is The Fool. This is a card of freedom. The Fool can go wherever he wants; they are free with no expectations at all. Even the number for the Fool is Zero- he has all possibilities open to him. You have been working to create a new life and freedom is very important to that. With the Fool, the key is to remain formless and free. Especially if that feels foolish and impractical.
Here is what I see. If this is your reading, you have been on a path of looking inwards. You have been spiritual and focused on finding the ground under your feet and regulating your emotions. This time to yourself has been good for you- but it has been slowly shifting. With the II of Water, you look outside of yourself, and into someone else. The problem is- they don't have what you need. That is something that only you can find right now. If this is your reading, your key is to remain free and formless. Don't put yourself in a box or in a trap. Keep everything light and stay centered. Your life is a vision quest right now; and you will do best focusing inwards as you had been. Your answers are not with someone else at this time; and you have a lot of potential for growth right now. If the relationship that was getting your attention is a good one, it will be there when you are ready.

I look forward to Iris X Readings every week! Sometimes they hit home, and I feel like it is speaking to me directly. The reading for the week of May 16 felt very much the way I have been feeling. Stacy does fabulous readings and I love seeing which deck (she has sooo many!) will be in use. Whether the reading of the week speaks directly to you or not, there is always some great information we can work with throughout the week. I would definitely put these readings in your Fave folder - so worth it! Thank you, Stacy, for spot on readings so very often!! My week isn't complete unless I can start with these fabulous…
