OK, so today’s card amused me. For several minutes as I was trying to pull a card this morning, our little cat Cerridwen refused to move from the spot where I lay the cards down. She was definitely demanding of some attention and affection, which isn’t something she does all the time. When she finally moved to the side, the first card I drew was Cat Spirit! I drew the other two cards (I usually draw 3), but Cerridwen promptly lay over the left card and put her chin on the Cat card. OK, OK – I get the hint!
So, the Cat Spirit card builds on yesterday’s card of The Wanderer. Cat says to take a chance and to be independent.
Cat Spirit – Claim Your Independence
Message: When Cat Spirit meows, she is calling your to claim your independence and allow for some space between you and others in your life. The only way you can grow in all your relationships now is to have a healthy sense of self-respect and self-worth. When you walk with dignity, knowing who you are, self-aware and willing to grow, trusting the value you bring, the world will mirror all this back to you in kind. When you say no to co-dependency and enmeshment, live and let live, and practice taking risks as you wander into new territory for you, Cat Spirit rejoices. She is here to urge you to let your independent spirit roam free.
Protection Message: This may be the time you are facing some unpredictable situations. Are you hesitant to take a risk, too cautious to jump into something new because you fear you can’t trust yourself? Cat Spirit is saying, “Go for it!” because you will land on your feet. If nothing seems to be going according to plan, there is no reason to worry. Cat Spirit loves to mix it up, and these seeming upsets will actually bring you some wondrous and unexpected opportunities. Get ready to pounce, as you may be called to jump into something new at a moment’s notice. At this time, your instincts are keen and your intuition is sharp. Remember, even a temporary failure can lead to a spectacular success, so embrace the adventure. You are sure-footed and can trust yourself.
