One marked difference between reading the cards for friends and family and reading professionally is the huge sense of responsibility that comes with the latter, at least for me. I’ve felt it to be a moral obligation to grow my skills from the moment I started professional Tarot work. Sometimes the ongoing education starts to slide when I get busy; today’s card is a reminder to me to not lose sight of that need.
In this decidedly non-traditional Nine of Cups from Osho Zen, we’ve got “Laziness.” Makes me think of what they say about the trine in astrology—the energy is sometimes too easy. No dynamic, itchy-scratchy friction to create the drive to grow. Discomfort has a way of spurring progress!
Now, I won’t say I’m completely down with this presentation completely . I think we all need pockets of ease and blessings. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying what we’ve earned. However, I do take the point there is a difference between contentment and complacency. Complacency may not serve as well.
So I’d say, yes, good enough is good enough, but not necessarily the best you can achieve. Now is not the time to rest on your laurels. Absolutely, enjoy the fruits of your labors and appreciate each and every blessing you have! And absolutely, keep working to improve and grow at the same time.
Enjoy your fine food. But don’t forget to exercise, too. Both benefit.
Do you feel the urge to always improve?

Funny, I was just thinking about this about myself. So often.. I feel like if I’m doing things.. “just good enough” then that’s fine, no need to exert too much energy. My chart has many trines, in fact I have kind of 2 grand trines in Air, so it’s understandable. But.. I also have about equal amount of squares, so, the fact that I take things maybe a little too easy sometimes BOTHERS me… like it did in my thoughts just a couple minutes ago. lol
Yeah, I could apply myself a little more energetically to some things in my life, it’s true.
With great power comes great responsibility Dixie dear
Also: sun-Saturn in the first, just below my chart ruler. Oh my goodness yes
