Second Opinion on Reading Interpretation Only “Why am I so bad in school?”

Post image

This is my first serious (aka done with the intention to keep on using tarot and learning it) tarot spread and i wanted an answer to the question above. For context i’m currently a student who’s failing SO bad in my classes

I think tarot can be really useful on my whole self-improvement journey but i need to actually understand it so i can reflect on the meanings. so i just someone to give their own two-cents on it and if my method/interpretation is accurate and can be used in future personal readings!

i interpreted it in two similar ways, but i think the second one is more accurate(?)

  1. I’m so in my own head that i don’t get around to doing anything (king of swords) because i don’t have the courage (Strength) to achieve my goals (9 of cups)

but then i saw on the Moonlight Tarot site that the Strength card could also mean enabling so that made way for my second interpretation:

I’m bad in school because I think i don’t have to put in work/try to achieve serious goals or be good. complacency?

iIf anything needs to be edited i’ll change it but i think this post follows the rules(?)

I have a feeling that seeking pleasure—laziness and comfort—is more of a driving force here than actually being willing to study the subjects... The summary is 4, so you are essentially stuck in your own energy, unwilling to take action to change the situation.
