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 stepping into your power.
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 is usually to wait and see. It’s likely that currently, yours is similar.
So, step into your power. Going quietly. Slowly. Peacefully. But into joy and happiness. Dancing, music, meditation, relaxation. Stopping worrying about the future. Being generous and graceful. Use it all to find your way to happiness.
