Edition 15 | June 8, 2026 - June 14, 2026 | Wine for the Week Ahead

Alright, this week is all about Venus and Jupiter coming together, and they're coming together in Cancer. This is an excellent start to the month; it's a very pretty piece of astrology. And importantly, this is the last time these two will come together in Cancer for the next twelve years. They will make other conjunctions, but Jupiter is exalted in Cancer, so this is extra abundant, extra lucky, extra gorgeous astrology. 

 

Seriously, mark your calendars for June 9th. 

 

Venus and Jupiter are known as the “Great Benefics” in astrology. They are considered the luckiest planets in the solar system. Venus is the planet of love, value, and relationships, while Jupiter is the planet of luck, abundance, and expansion. So these two coming together in the nurturing sign of Cancer is like a warm, comforting hug from the universe. 

 

Now, this is happening at the end of a sign, and Jupiter is about to leave Cancer at the end of June, so while that doesn't diminish any of the gorgeous astrology, it does speak to wrapping something up. What did you start back in August of last year that has the potential for connection, friendship, art, beauty, creativity, and abundance? And what can you do now to both wrap up whatever that is, but also take that energy and plant some secondary seeds of intention, of goodness, of abundance for both you and your community. 

 

And as you're having a hopefully truly wonderful day on Tuesday, might we suggest pairing it with some Etna Bianco? A bright, mineral-driven white wine from the base of an active volcano. A wine that takes some tenacity to grow, to just exist, but also a wine that tastes like you're drinking victory. It's a wine to toast the day with for sure. Share it with friends, loved ones, play hooky, and treat yourself and the people you love on Tuesday.
