Iris X Reading of the Week/Week beginning on 4/7/25:

As most people probably know, I adore Ravens and how they can see colors that we can't fathom. Here in Vermont, we are expecting some cold and snowy weather. It's pretty grey and muddy out there. Wishing for you all a bright world of unimaginable color during this time. I shuffled The Raven's Dream Tarot by MJ Cullinane and asked for a reading for someone who will see this post. I never know who it is for until I post it. Read on- see if it's for you or someone that you know! And if you haven't, please subscribe (free!) to my webpage https://irisxtarot.com/subscribe. 

The reading begins with the Four of Wands. This is a card of celebration and happiness. If this is your reading, you have joined with like-minded people and you are creating something really good out of your union together. There is a lot of work to do and a lot to hold up, but with this card there is success through working together. Connected to The Emperor, the fours show success that you can build up on and rely on moving forward. You are working together with others and doing really well. 

The Chariot appears next showing forward momentum towards accomplishing your goals. The Charioteer is the Hero of the Tarot deck, and often is the champion for other people or worthy causes. This is a card of focusing your attention and energy to reach your goals. Be really clear about the end result that you are seeking and what you need to do to make it a reality. You have momentum and power right now- put it to good use! 

The Hermit comes up next showing a long walk ahead. While you are in a place of cooperation right now, you will continue to need time and space to yourself. The Hermit is a card of inward focus and peace. It is a card of silence and long lonely walks. When you see The Hermit, you need time for your mind to 'reset'. Reading books, wandering, listening to music and meditation will bring you back to your center. This is a card of spirituality and wisdom. 

The key in this reading is The Fool. First- in all of this seriousness, keep up a good sense of humor. Never be afraid to be The Fool in foolish times. This is a card of new beginnings. The key is that there is something new starting up in your life. The Fool can go anywhere that they wish- this is a card of freedom. Where you are ultimately heading is still forming in your mind; but right now is a time of beginnings and trying new things. People may not understand you or may think that you are foolish. It's ok- The Fool is often misunderstood. 

Here's what I see. If this is your reading, you have been joining forces with other people and finding success. There is a lot to celebrate and be happy about right now. You are focused and clear- accomplishing great goals. You have a lot of momentum working with you right now, and all is leading towards success. Remember to counterbalance the work that you are doing on the outside with a focus inside as well. Get your space and take walks. Read books and ponder possibilities. You are free and in a time when anything can happen. Every single card in this reading speaks of movement and forward momentum. Take the success that you have created and build up on it. You never know what will happen when you see The Fool as the key. Be comfortable not knowing exactly where you are going and be ready for anything. This is a reading of positive momentum and success. Congratulations, you have done something really good!
