According to Hesiod, Iris is the daughter of Thaumas and the nymph, Electra. One of her primary responsibilities was to bring water from the river Styx to the gods so they could make their binding oaths. In the earlier days, before Hermes, Iris was consider the primary messenger of the gods traveling with the means of light and water - the rainbow. Iris frequently relayed Zeus's messages to other gods and mortals. Notably, Iris informed Menelaus of Helen's abduction and lit Patroclus's pyre per Achilles's prayers. IN MY OPINION Iris in your chart can represent a) where you are aware of promises, b) where you are the moderator, c) where your life moves faster than the speed of light, and/or d) where you eventually are overshadowed.

i encourage you to look into the aspects of iris along with the sign, degree, and house placement. for the more advanced astrologers, take a look at the persona chart of iris AND/OR add the other characters involved to see how they support or impede iris!
