Flexibility paired with Tenacity

From the PetraK Tarot, the Nine of Wands; from the Astrodice, 'Saturn/Gemini/3rd House:'

          This painting makes me think of eight burned incense sticks and a ninth one still glowing. Does anything fulfilling come easily without effort? I doubt it. Even folks that appear to be talented in some area have had to hone and refine their skills. This card is a reminder not to let complacency or boredom slip in; progress has been made, but there's still work to do. The Astrodice roll pairs the responsibility and durability of Saturn with the versatility and changeable nature of Gemini in the House of communication and learning. While Saturn and the Nine of Wands suggest we 'keep on keeping on,' Gemini tells us we might have to be flexible and open-minded if we want to get to the goal.

The art of life lies in a constant readjustment to our surroundings.
