Hi, doll!

Apologies for sending this podcast out a day after the new moon. It’s not an excuse exactly, but it does strike me that the more these Ruby Reports stray from astrological territory, the less urgent the timing is.

Lately, in my practice and personal life, I’m most interested in healing the future self.

I’m all for healing the past, of course. But the longer I work as an intuitive, the more I understand that both the future and the past are more elastic than we realized. It’s never too late to heal the hurt children we carry inside ourselves, nor the futures we fear.

Along those lines, make time to talk with your future conditional self in these magical days leading up to summer solstice. With the support of the midsummer spirits on the horizon, it would be my great honor to help you do that—via sessions, Whether Reports, and on this platform.

With waggling eyebrows and slow kitty blinks,

P.S. A passage, with apologies, from The Portal of Self-Invention, my latest Flaneuzy essay:

What I desire most is to be pulled toward a future conditional me whom I can’t quite envision yet. Someone who is stronger, smarter, easier in her skin and skills, and fundamentally more set up. Chrono-nomadism as auto-nomination: I’m seeking the self who’s figured out what stymies me still, and is reaching back to make herself come true.

Hi, doll.

In today’s podcast, I talk about the problem with “manifestation culture” and the holiness of wonder. It’s no coincidence that this weekend’s blue moon, which emphasizes education and exploration, coincides with the feast of St Mary. She is the queen of radical receptivity, the cure for the toxic incuriosity that separates us from a kinder, more sustainable world.

If you’re interested in enhancing your intuitive abilities or peeking at your path, book an intuitive reading. I’ll tailor your guidance accordingly, just like my teachers did for me.

Hi, doll.

In today’s podcast, I talk about how to embrace spring even when that new growth (and pollen) may feel hard to bear. A lot of it has to do with “noticing what you notice,” as I say in sessions. We all possess intuition, no matter how much technology and social pressure has tamped it down, and honing these skills connects us to our higher selves and a path to a more harmonious world.

If you’re interested in enhancing your intuitive abilities, book an intuitive reading and indicate your interest in the “notes” section of the intake form. I’ll tailor your guidance accordingly, just like my teachers did for me.

Lastly, here’s the food writer Ruth Reichl’s substack that I mention.

This weekend ushers in the magic of my favorite time of the year, so I wanted to send a podcast version of this post to you though my schedule was so joyfully full of Beltane readings that I only had time to record it now. Something fully unexpected happens at the end of this recording that I decided to preserve because it was the multiverse proving in real time that the transpersonal love that is gravity is as much of a holy fool as everyone else is.

A few notes: May is a wonderful window in which to clarify callings and deepen roots in Ruby Intuition readings and Whether Reports, which also make wonderful Mother’s Day gifts for the caregivers in your life, including yourself.

And under the heading of “metaphysician, heal thyself,” here is part 1 and part 2 of The Fresh Paint Portal, my long-brewing essay about a tesseract to 1980 Massachusetts with my silent-generation mother and sci-fi first love. Some might argue it deserves trigger warnings, but I assure you it is a labor of love.

Just like you.

Today’s Aries new moon is a powerful broad with zero bedside manner, which may be why today’s podcast is spicier than usual.* I loved commentating on it, I loved tuning into its effect in today’s readings and whether reports, and I look forward to clocking the changes it will inspire. In the meantime, here’s my Aries new moon theme song and here’s The Fresh Paint Portal, my latest, unintentionally timely Flaneuzy essay about female liberation and snooping. Sending red-hot love!

Hi, doll.

In today's podcast, I dig into how tonight's full moon ushers in a Venus-forward seven weeks. I offer a ritual to heal your heart (metaphorically) and frankly go off on what romantic love is and isn't good for!

You also can read this post, complete with links and poems.

As always, I’m here for you—in sessions, via Whether Reports, and on this platform. It’s my honor to support your magical heart.

Thank you for listening and for being a paid subscriber. Your support allows me to serve.

Think of the choreography of this week's astrology as a superhighway being redirected without warning, but only so we can be led somewhere better. Today's podcast offers tools, advisories, insights--whatever helps us make the most of these big-bananas stars. The meditation I recommend can be found here. You also are welcome to book a reading or get a whether report. Thanks as ever for listening!

Today’s podcast focuses on the toxic patterns we can release around favoring the individual over the collective, and ego above heart. Thank you as always for listening! Lisa Ruby

Hi, doll.

This special edition of the Ruby Report honors the solar power of Jane Austen’s semiquincentennial—a super-fancy term for her 250th birthday, which is today! Jane is one of my favorite guides on the other side, and in this moment of extreme cruelty and caddishness, I’m calling on her integrity, creativity, and charm to illuminate a better path …

Hi, doll.

I’m unrolling today’s podcast super-early because we have a supermoon in Chatty Cathy Gemini. Paired with the sun and Venus in holy-fool Sagittarius, this is the-more-the-merrier energy, and I wanted to prepare you to make the most of it.

Also on offer: a snippet of The Orphans We Carry, an essay I originally published …

Hi, doll.

Today’s Ruby Report podcast highlights five viewing selections that have been smoothing my brow lately. Also included: other comfort culture to which these selections may lead you, scavenger hunt style, and my Thanksgiving ritual. (Hint: It does not contain feast nor family.)

Before diving in, I wanted to unroll a few Black Friday specials I’m r…

Hi, doll.

Today’s audio Ruby Report focuses on what author Ellen Gilchrist called “the land of dreamy dreams”—the quiet part and how to hear it, basically. We’re coming on the last 2025 weekend undefined by holiday season revelry, so it’s a good time to dig deep into dream medicine and the divine mystery.

Update: A few minutes after I sent this out, Mamdani was declared NYC’s new mayor. Huzzah!

Hi, doll!

I’m still sorting out the rhythms of this audio version of the Ruby Report, but wanted to send one out tonight to dovetail with the supermoon. It contains a full-moon ritual to use tonight, tomorrow, or honestly whenever you see fit to help you physically metabolize positive change. The written version is available to everyone here.

As a reminder, audio versions of the Ruby Report are only being sent to paid subscribers, but feel free to share it with anyone whom you think may benefit. This is a platform of care above commerce. Also! Here is the primer in actions of radical love that I mention.

Happy Samhain, doll!

Today’s Ruby Report contains a detailed ritual to connect with your dearly departed and other disembodied spirits. (It also, alas, contains my warbling; please forgive!) As I mentioned earlier this week, the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest from 10/31-11/3—the window known as Samhain, or All Souls or Dia de Los…

Today’s Ruby Report is another audio file because my writing wrist is still sprained, and I’m learning to respect its rate of healing rather than white-knuckling through the pain. This acceptance is a big download of today’s new moon in Libra, which prizes peace, grace, ease, and going with the flow. It’s all about divine timing once again!

I’m still sorting out the science of audio-recording, and thank you so much for your patience. Also here is the Heather Cox Richardson Substack I mention, for those unfamiliar with her politely plainspoken brilliance.

A Libra-inflected lunar cycle is all about authentic community, so I especially welcome your feedback, participation, and care.

Your presence is always a present.

Today’s Ruby Report is an audio file because I sprained my writing wrist, but felt compelled to discuss tonight’s headliner of a harvest moon anyway. (That’s Aries in action, baby.)

I’m still learning about audio-recording formats, so apologies for any transgressions; rest assured my next missive will be written once again. Also! Here’s the Waiting to Exhale scene I discuss in this post, speaking of Aries full moon energy.
