Edition 4 | March 23, 2026 - March 29, 2026 | Wine for the Week Ahead
This week is all about dedication and commitment and planting the seeds for something long term.
Basically, the main things that are happening this week are all about Saturn. Saturn and the Sun, Saturn and Pluto and of course the start of Aries season where Saturn is currently hanging out. So let's go over all that.
First things first, this week, and right on the heels of the Neptune Cazimi where we recommended planting the seeds for whatever you're dreaming about (and sipping on some Arneis as you dream); we have a Saturn Cazimi arriving on Wednesday, March 25th. A Cazimi, again, is the start of a new cycle, so the start of a new cycle in Saturn is a powerful reset. What do you want to start being disciplined about? While you're writing out your master plan, sip on some Rioja. Rioja is the spanish tempranillo that ages for years, sometimes decades, in barrel. Talk about dedication.
Then on Saturday, March 28th Saturn sextiles Pluto. A sextile in astrology is a supportive relationship, connecting two planets in compatible elements. So Saturn in Aries is making a sextile to Pluto Aquarius. This meeting represents a blend of discipline and deep transformation. All of which means we'll feel amped up to build lasting structure and routines, to become more productive, reliable and consistent. While we're building these new lasting routines and getting this structure in our life, we should sip on some Chablis. Chablis is yes, Chardonnay, but a very specific Chardonnay. Crisp and bright and structured it's a serious white wine for planning your future.
Then last but not least, and also technically last week but whatever, we're now in Aries Season. Aries is the start of the Astrological new year. Aries is the instigator, the trailblazer. Aries is independent, action oriented and ruled by Mars, this fire sign loves a challenge. So remember that as you move through this week and the coming season.
Tarot Card of the Week
The Ten of Pentacles represents legacy, tradition, and long-lasting fulfillment. It’s the card of building something enduring that can be shared across generations. Much like a Saturn Cazimi, and a Saturn and Pluto Sextile. The wine for the Ten of Pentacles is Brunello di Montalcino. Brunello is rich, structured, and complex — a wine built for longevity and symbolic of heritage and continuity. This is a wine with history.
