Together they discuss:

-Why we are drawn to certain partners

-Venus in relationship astrology

-Natal aspects connected to attraction and attachment

-Eros as a psychological and spiritual force

-The transformative potential of long-term partnership

Blending archetypal astrology, depth psychology, and relationship insight, this conversation explores how intimacy can become a path of self-awareness and soul-making.

Margaret Magnus’s phonetic work lays the fertile ground for this conversation between letters and planets, and between material reality and the numinous realm. Guided by the archetypes of consonant sound—such as the beginnings of B, the power of P, and the virtue of V—this episode explores the Saturn–Neptune complex as it lives in psyche, culture, and cosmology. Topics include masculine and feminine dynamics, the patriarchy, social justice, neurodiversity, solar returns, Plato, and lived relational experience.

Have you ever wondered what happens during an astrology reading? It’s more than just interpreting celestial symbols--it's a deeply personal experience that can alter the course of one's life. Jessica DiRuzza shares her personal revelation, recounting how her first astrology reading became the catalyst for a life-changing transformation, propelling her into the realms of professional astrology and therapy.

But what makes a good astrology reading truly exceptional? It's the art of seeing, valuing, loving, and celebrating the individual before you. A skilled astrologer, akin to a masterful storyteller, deciphers the birth chart as both a sacred text and a person’s soul. The magic lies not just in reading the chart but in understanding the unique narrative of the person in that moment in time.

In this episode, we explore the profound connection between astrology and psychology. Expertly crafted astrology readings, when blended with psychological insight, become a powerful tool for guiding souls. Jessica elucidates the intricate dance between celestial symbols and human emotions, showcasing how compassionate counseling can empower individuals to embrace life with courage and compassion.

Tune in to the Trust Psyche Podcast and embark on a transformative odyssey, discovering the profound impact of astrology readings and how they can illuminate the path to self-discovery, empowerment, and profound transformation.

Hello Everyone! I am proud to share with you my daughter, Luce Sophia DiRuzza. Luce was born in October as a Libra. As you can imagine, she has quite the powerful birth chart and quite the powerful entry into this world. She is fiercely sweet, loves music and dancing, has a wonderful sense of adventure, and loves to express herself—fully.  We are all doing very well and loving our time together as a new family.

In light of this Solstice, which was Saint Lucie’s Day before the calendrical reform (now it is on December 13th), and this incredible alignment of Jupiter and Saturn as the Star of Bethlehem, I want to release my podcast episode 23 of Stream—The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn: Joy and Sorrow.

This Stream is a real gem. Luce was inside of me when I shared my insights on this planetary alignment. She of course is born with the great conjunction, and I have the square natally. I think that with our combined energies—Luce, me, and the Cosmos—we were able to channel something precious.

So in honor of this Great Conjunction, the Solstice, and Luce, I share with you Stream 23.

I hope you enjoy listening.  I look forward to being with you in the New Year for New Beginnings. Luce has given me so much and there is so much to say.

Blessings of light to you.
