Bast represents intuition, caution, protection, devotion, mental healing, generosity, gracefulness, joy and happiness. Her energy is the concept of pride and joy and happiness in general. She is associated with healing mental or psychological illnesses, thus having her in a reading can often mean that there is some kind of anxiety around the subject.
Her appearance here would indicate that you are stressed, anxious or at least worried about finding what it is that you need to embrace to release yourself from Ego.
You are picking your way carefully through things at the moment, like a cat. You’re looking where you’re about to step, going delicately and quietly through the situation and acting with care and caution. Bast’s MO (Modus Operandi – the way she does things) is usually to wait and see. It’s likely that currently, yours is similar.
So, in order to release yourself from Ego, you need to go quietly. Slowly. Peacefully. But into joy and happiness. Dancing, music, meditation, relaxation. Stop worrying about the future. Be generous and graceful. Use it all to find your way to happiness.
