Iris
Iris, an asteroid named for the rainbow goddess and messenger of the gods, is read in modern astrology as the asteroid of messages and connection, the rainbow bridge between realms and people, and the carrying of meaning across a divide. Read Iris by its sign, house, and aspects to find where this principle works in the chart.
Lean in — Work consciously with Iris's theme of communication and the bridge between worlds where it falls.
Watch for — Dismiss Iris as too obscure; its theme acts whether or not you name it.
