Bast as something your Inner Self has to tell you

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 may be stressed, anxious or at least worried about something.

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 = way of working) is possibly to wait and see. It’s likely that currently, yours is similar.

Bast is inextricably linked with the mental healing process. So if this card appears for you here would indicate that there’s something you you need to observe in order to feel better.
Her appearance would indicate that you are nervous. That you are worrying about the future. That you are tentatively moving through things in order to pick your way to your ultimate goal. You’re cautious, yet generous and graceful. And you’re aware that there is great joy and happiness to be had.
So, go quietly. Slowly. Peacefully. But into joy and happiness. Dancing, music, meditation, relaxation. Stop worrying about the future. Be generous and graceful. Use it to find your way to happiness.
