The perfect Holiday gift for you or a loved one! Trust Psyche offers archetypal astrology readings, mentoring, and counseling through Travis DiRuzza. Recently, I received a reading from Travis, and it was deeply healing for me. Travis has the gift of being a truly insightful astrologer and a profoundly compassionate human being. I learn astrology from him every day. I am amazed by all that Travis brings to his work, his clients, and to his family.
I live streamed this 12-minute video on the current Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces on my Instagram at trust.psyche.
I have a renewed reverence for astrology. Most of which is being brought to light by both witnessing and understanding what our ancestors have done to bring into our world, and through my sky-watching practices and rituals. All of this is happening because I get the great privilege and fortune of studying with Travis DiRuzza in his course, The Astronomy and Cultural History of Astrology.
My favorite human just released hisĀ cover album, TAKE COVER! I would love for you to listen right here and soak up all the magic of Travis DiRuzza. Travis very much channels his natal Venus opposite Uranus, in a Yod with Neptune and Pluto.
Message from Travis:
I am excited to releaseĀ Take Cover, an album of cover songs I performed, recorded, and produced myself on guitar and voice. Please have a listen onĀ my website here and have a look around the site while youāre thereāIāve added many of the albums Iāve recorded on (more still being added!)
Jessica and I are expecting our daughter at the beginning of November, and with all the Covid curtailments, this incubation period has been especially creative and productive for us. After completing my PhD in philosophy and religion this year, Iāve had more time to return to music.Ā Take CoverĀ started out as a demo project to get some gigs in bars and restaurants on our little beach island. Iāve always been a bass player and honestly, have always been self-conscious about my singing voice, so this guitar and vocals project has been a humbling growth experience for me, plus all Iāve learned about recording and production along the way. I gathered my favorite songs over the years, ones that I love to play, that touch my heart, and are suited to my voice. The title of the album (besides referring to musical ātakesā and the cover tunes) reflects the turbulent times weāre living in, especially the first and last tracks. But it also refers to the warm shelter we can offer one another during such times. Ever notice how almost every song ever is a love song, whether jubilant or broken?
Stay tuned for two more albums I am releasing in the coming months,Ā The Wicked WonderĀ for jazz sextet and narration, andĀ PerichoresisĀ which brings together music, dance, visual art, and poetry. Hit the āfollowā button on the bottom of myĀ websiteĀ to stay abreast of all my creations.
Lastly, I want to mentionĀ trustpsyche school, Jessica and my educational initiative for astrology, psychology, and philosophy. Weāve been busy teaching online classes, webinars, and events, and recently celebrated over 100 students worldwide. Weāre offering threeĀ new coursesĀ in 2021 and look forward to hosting in-person retreats in the future.
With love,
Travis
How does the world relate to the divine? Plato proposes the doctrine of participation to describe this complex relationship in which divinity is both a part of the world and yet apart from it. Participation gives rise to philosophical problems and enigmas that are only fully resolved in the course of a 1200-year evolution culminating in the work of Maximus the Confessor. Travis traces this history of ideas and then explores how the participatory relationship with the divine may serve as a template for our relationships with each other.
We salute Dr. Travis DiRuzza for an excellent defense and passing with flying colors. He received the highest kudos from his committee. We hope you enjoy watching Travis share some of his very important work for our times.
My magnificent husbandā the remarkably intelligent, outstandingly wise, and now scholar of western history and philosophy, Travis DiRuzza, will defend his dissertation on Friday, December 6th at 2PM Eastern Time (11AM Pacific). We cordially invite you to come join in on the fun and celebrations of a 25+ year journey of education! Travis will present for approximately forty minutes followed by questions from his committee and you ā the public. All are welcome, so please invite your friends! The more the merrier!!

I also hear there will be a fascinating and original discussion of participation, archetypes, and astrology in this defense. Travis’ dissertation already has raving reviews. See you there~!
