Aditi
Aditi is the Vedic goddess of the boundless - sky, space, freedom - and the mother of the Adityas, the class of gods that includes Varuna, Mitra and Aryaman. One Rig Veda hymn calls her sky, air, mother, father and son at once: the whole of what is, named as one open thing.
The planetary, elemental, zodiacal, stone, herb and tarot values are modern Western correspondences chosen for coherence with the rest of the corpus, not ancient attributions.

Worked with when something is too tight: a life with no room in it, a decision with no space around it, a person who needs protection while they begin again. The offering is milk and grain, and the practice is the widening rather than the request.
