I'm a bit late to the party so to speak, but the idea of the suspension got me meditating on it. Such a profound insight! :)

Isn't it amazing that Yoann Bourgeois, born with an exalted Saturn and a massive stellium in Libra, represents this exact moment of balance between two states... Like another mirror hidden in the essay. I can feel how the Aries-Libra axis captures that point of suspension... It's balance for Libra, and a peak moment of change for Aries. Well, I might be biased by my own chart, but anyway... Thank you very much for sharing your insights!

Hey Maya, thanks for sharing how this “landed” with you :) That is so cool about Bourgeois’s chart! While I was thinking broadly about the air element, I totally see your point about the Aries-Libra axis, and actually that suspended dynamic might be what i was tuning into. I’m seeing it play out even more now that Venus is in Libra opposing Saturn.

Love this. I love the performances you’ve included as examples. Spot on. Also, I’ve been a long time weightlifter and recently I’ve been back on German Volume Training as an equally, slow build program in my workouts. Saturn is opposite my natal Saturn as well as a bunch of other planets in Libra. So there’s something there for sure lol 😂 Slow but powerful gains

Oh nice Krisztina! I'm so curious about all of the different training styles so there's an intellectual dimension of wanting to try things. But won't learn much anything about what I try unless I stick with it for several months!

Yeah! I know what you mean. You gotta stick to one for quite awhile to see results. I’ve personally never tried the one you are doing so I am going to try it down the line too.

It's basically a 4-day split, 3-week progression with 1 amrap set per week on each main lift. The simplicity is really appealing and I like the focus given by having just 1 very intense set. Then for volume you do 5 sets of 10 on an accessory.

THIS IS SO GOOD

You’ve given so much to reflect on 🤍

Thank you Rishima 💚 I’m glad it’s “landing” ;)
