Iris X Reading of the Week/Week beginning on 5/19/25: 

I was at a Psychic Fair at the Earth Magic Shoppe in Hillsborough NH on Saturday, surrounded by healers, readers and a lovely aura photographer (and tarot teacher!). Good to meet kindred souls. During a break, I picked up The Rose Tarot by Nigel Jackson and shuffled it up. I asked for a reading for someone who needs to hear a message. I never know who it is for until I post it. Read on and see if it's for you or someone that you know. 

The reading begins with the 2 of Coins. If this is your reading, you are juggling a lot. You may make it look like it is easy, but you definitely have a lot on your plate. You move between two different 'worlds' and keep a lot of balls up in the air at once. You are just used to being busy like this. In fact- it is preferable to being inactive. And if you thought too hard about what you were doing, you would drop everything in its place. You have a rhythm and a flow that is making it all miraculously work. But you hardly have a free moment. 

The 8 of Batons is next. Despite the fact that your hands are as full as can be, there is more coming down- you are about to get busier. A lot will come up, messages will come through and people will call you with plans and ideas. All things that you want to do or have even been hoping will happen. But too much of a good thing is still too much. 

The 8 of Swords shows you in a trap; quite possibly of your own making. There is only so much that you can do before you are trapped and have no free time to yourself. It is possible to end up in a cage due to our own ideas, thoughts and plans. If you get to this place, you will feel like you can't take a step forward and like you are stuck in place. But it is an illusion- with this card, you may be your own worst enemy! 

The key is the 7 of Cups. You need some down time. There has to be some time in the day that you can just stare off into space and daydream. It's when you come up with your best ideas! It would do you some good to take a few days off and stare off into the sea. You can't keep up the pace that you have been going- and it is ok to not always be productive. 

Here's what I see. If this is your reading, you are busy all the time. You manage various tasks and never get a break. At the same time, you are always wanting to do more! You have interests that cause you to add more things to your ever growing list of things to do. You have so many things that you want to do, see, and learn. But your time is short with the 2 of Coins. There are only so many hours of the day. It is good to have a lot of interests and plans, but you have to be sure that you don't trap yourself into a schedule that is unbearable for you. You can't do everything that you want to at once. In fact, it would be good to have some down time when you are not doing anything. Your mind and body need space and quiet in order to recover. If you want to add new things, you will have to cut down on something else that you are already doing. You can't add anything to your full plate without trapping yourself. You are at risk of having no free time at all to yourself. The best thing you can do is- Nothing. Every now and then, you need to do nothing, and take a break. Stare off into space. Read a book. Watch the birds. You can't do everything at once, and some daydreaming and leisure would do you some good!
