Neither of my parents are hard-working or motivated (or educated)... yet almost everyone in my family is not hard-working or motivated either, with the exception of myself. Poverty is rampant in my family as a result of all of this.

Signs of Venus and Jupiter are often given the stigmatism of laziness, especially Taurus. I find that Jupiter and Venus aspects and essential dignity can be important. Usually weight issues seem to coincide with the laziness aspects too. One of my elder sisters is one of the lazier people in my family, and she has Jupiter (with term dignity) trine Neptune and square Saturn (which is detrimented in Cancer). Another sister is a year younger than her and she has the same exact placement. They have issues even making phone calls (procrastination is really bad). Neither finished high school either. When Saturn is weak to begin with, the hard aspects from Jupiter only make for more laziness tendencies. The first one also has a dignified Venus in Taurus in its traditional 12th house placement, and she is the lazier of the two. She thinks that driving to the grocery store on her day off of work means she didn't get a day off... They never leave the house when they don’t have to and are slobs. My nephew is actually probably more lazy, and has never worked a day in his life (he gets money from disability insurance), and also has a Venus in Taurus, and a dignified Jupiter in Sag, with a weak Saturn (retrograde and peregrine). Both he and the first sister are Aries Suns, which is odd, because you wouldn’t picture that placement as physically lazy, but they are. He also didn't finish high school.

I'm sure it's more due to their roots vs. their chart, but those are the connections I've noticed with them. I have always been the anal-retentive, driven white sheep.

Hmm... What I've noticed personally is a combo of leo and taurus, sometimes with a bit of libra and even cancer and pisces thrown into that mix. People with leo/taurus or libra influences seems to really like to chill and sit around doing nothing. Placements that I've noticed seems to relate to this is moon in cancer actually (with some exceptions naturally) as well as venus or mars in taurus, mars in libra, moon conjunct venus and leo or libra asc.

On the other hand, one of my uncles have his sun, mercury and venus in Aries and he really tends to lie on the couch if he has spare time. He doesn't have the need to occupy himself at all (he's 39 so it's not like he's 70). He even has a virgo asc (which in my experience is an asc that needs constant mind stimulation at all times). He also has sun opp uranus and an aquarius moon which isn't really placements that would indicate a faiblesse for lying on the couch...

What might indicate his lack of need to do something would be his mars in taurus and venus conjunct saturn, that's the only thing I can think of. He can be quite active and he goes wind surfing in the summer and works out sometimes but it really boggles me how he says that he just tends to lay on the couch and stare at the ceiling.

Although come to think of it, he does it in a more depressive manner than out of comfort I think, so that might be more of the lack of motivation kind...

But anyhow, signs that relates to this would be:
Libra, taurus, leo and to some extent cancer and pisces.
Planets would be:
Venus, jupiter.... maybe also the sun and neptune.

I think the moon and saturn are involved when it comes to the depressive "laziness" and lack of motivation but not so much the comfortable enjoyment of sitting/ lying around.

House placement might be interesting, I haven't looked into it, they could have a say in this... But since I haven't at all considered them I have no idea which houses would relate to this.

I have an Aries cousin born on a Pisces cusp, and he has an Aquarius Moon.. and when I think of lazy I think of him lol! He's only 11 though.. and he's a sweet boy, but he can be very very lazy. He will ask anybody around him to get him a glass of water just so he doesn't have to get it lol! :) It's funny though because I wouldn't really think of an Aries with an Aquarius Moon as someone who would be lazy though, even though he's born on a Pisces cusp. He can be a very 'take charge' and motivated type when he feels like it though lol :)

I have a problem with doing the lazy thing pretty often, and it's something about myself that I hate viciously.

I feel a strong urge to accomplish things, establish things of worth, be of use to other people, etc., but I get frustrated when I have to do tasks that don't seem like they're immediately contributing to either a.) helping someone out, b.) providing myself mental/creative stimulation, or c.) contributing to some larger (usually creative) goal. I think I'm also really good at psyching myself out in advance and convincing myself that things are much more difficult than they are. I have a hard time focusing on things that aren't of interest and forget about them easily. And I have a hard time getting started, but - in a typical Taurus-y fashion - I can work quite hard once I get going (forgoing sleep, etc.). I can definitely enjoy lounging around and enjoying myself, especially with a good meal and a good movie/book, but I feel anxious and restless doing too much of it by myself without simultaneously getting something creative going (like watching a movie that helps me come up with new ideas or, if I'm taking in a mind-numbing movie, sewing something while I'm watching it). I have a lot of guilt over laziness, but I still tend to procrastinate a lot, and about the easiest things as well as about things I'd really LIKE to do and feel better about myself if I got done.

Few ordinary maintenance-type tasks feel fulfilling to me for their own sakes, though, if they're just for my benefit. I am always happy to wash my girlfriend's dishes and run errands for her, but it takes me six months to buy myself a new pair of pants, even if they're falling apart (because it just doesn't bother me). If I let something build up in my mind as being difficult or time-consuming, chances are I'll wait on doing it for quite some time, and when I usually do it, it was very quick, painless, and easy.

I have a hard time getting into routines of productivity, but can be pretty effective when I do. And I wait for inspiration/motivation to hit me far too often. I have a bad tendency to do the stuff that's exciting to me first and wait on the tedious responsibilities until later or, alternately, laze around thinking about how much I have to do and feeling incredibly stressed out and overwhelmed and incapacitated in advance (which is just ridiculous and counter-productive). Sometimes the pressure of having things be last-minute really gets me moving and accomplishing a lot, though.

Strangely enough, I seem to spend a lot of time (and have throughout my life) running around all the time (hence my constantly carrying around a giant bag and backpack of all the assorted crap and clothes I'll need for a day or two) and scheduling times to be with various people, whether I'm just hanging out or working on something with them. It's like my social responsibilities are so abundant and time-consuming (and feel immediately meaningful and important to me - something essential to making me get anything done) that, on top of my work schedule, I rarely have/make time to sit around by myself enough to regenerate and accomplish the little things that must be done and/or focus on doing creative work of my own. Just a small part of of why collaborations work so well for me.

Blah blah!

I'm pretty godamn lazy... i don't do shit.

My mom is lazy too, so is my Aries sis. The only one with any work ethic in my family is my brother, a taurus.

For me, i just don't care. If i don't care, then i'm not doing it. I've seen with my own eyes, how hard work and determination can get you nowhere sometimes. This is why i'm not running out to get a job. I'm driven by desire, i can't help it. It's not that i have an issue with things "Unpleasant" like most librans, but i guess it's not about things being pleasant for me, it's about something being "desirable" to me, desire ignites my passion, and passion is my core.

I love laying around. Doing what i'm doing now, on my computer, or watching the tube. I love relaxation. Often times i love to sit in candlelight, with my favorite lavendar candle burning, listen to my ipod, and reflect. It's not as "Dreamy" as it sounds, actually my room looks really creepy, but bright light makes me feel exposed! Except moonlight, when it's a full moon, i open my drapes (Which stay closed mostly, i hate sunlight!), and my whole room is bathed in moonlight. My favorite setting and atmosphere for deep thinking and emotional reflection!

It's not that i hate hard work, but i just like laying around just as much. If i don't have anything pressing to do, or i don't have anything to do for someone, then more than likely i'm laying around in a sleep cami and my boyshorts (I hate wearing a lot of clothes around my house), lazying in my bed. I think i'm a person who feels more purpose standing still, i'm not an exceedingly active person. You think i would be the opposite, with Mars conjuncting my Sun, plus my Aries Moon. Maybe Pluto or Mercury conjuncting my Ascendant has something to do with the lazyness.

I think as a "waterperson" I can be really productive and hardworking at things I'm passionate about, things that I feel gratifies my inner self and things that I feel have a meaning in any sense, but I have a real hard time doing something I don't like. It's so hard for me that I tend to escape any obligation to do something that I don't want to do if I can.

I've seen that tendency in others that have mars in cancer like me as well. Cancer is ruled by the moon so if the individual wants to do something he or she does it well, but if the motivation isn't there there's no point in trying. I think that's the tricky part about the sign cancer in my experience.

The two laziest and sweetest signs (they go hand in hand you know, lol) are Taurus and Leo, me got one of each (my kids). My boy has 4 planets in Leo; Sun, Venus, Moon and Jupiter...You don't get more relaxed than this, afterall there's always someone waiting on him ;-)

Venus square Jupiter (conjunct Uranus) in my chart makes me lazy.
It's more about overindulgence. Hedonism.
I tend to do the most pleasurable things first.

I would think the laziest combination configeration in a chart would be, something like Moon conjunct jupiter in 12th house or pisces, sun taurus or leo... Acsendant Libra...

I have a friend with Sun Capricorn, Moon in libra conjunct a saturn pluto conjunction, from the early 1980's saturn pluto generation. He is by far the laziest human I know. He will sleep in at the weekends until 3pm, even then he doesnt want to do anything. Surely I would have thought 3 planets in Aquarius would inspire him to do something worthwhile with his life?... But alas, no, he sits and daydreams about time travel, and has on many occasions told me in a drunken stupour that HE was the chosen one to build a time machine but he failed now he's on the "outside". Aquarius people really are quite crazy... Mercury venus and mars in aquarius, with his Virgo ascendant, maybe he could build a time machine?..But i suggested to him the use of magnets, he hadnt even thought of that yet...

I just looked at my chart, and it turns out Venus conjuncts Jupiter... so maybe that's the core of my laziness?
