Like Bast, graceful yet ever watchful, you’ve been treading a path of constant alertness. You’ve been guarding your little corner of the world with a fierce devotion that’s left little room for any rest and relaxation.
This card reflects an inner conflict, a struggle between your desire to protect and provide, and the deep, primal need that we all have for rest and play.
It implies that you’ve lost your balance. Your focus has tipped too far towards vigilance, and too far away from joy.
And because of this, your dance of life has instead become a weary trudge. Your spirit is crying out for some nurturing.
