Edition 5 | March 30, 2026 - April 5, 2026 | Wine for the Week Ahead
Alright, a significantly quieter week this week compared to last week. We're focusing on just one main event. The Full Moon in Libra on Thursday April 2nd.
We've mentioned before that Full Moons represent a peak, a culmination of some sort, and of course total illumination. This is a great time to release what is no longer serving you and watch whatever it is fade away with the receding moon. It is also a great time to heal, to do some self reflection, some grounding and of course some self-care, whatever that looks like for you.
This Pink Moon is in the sign of Libra, the air sign ruled by Venus, the planet of love, connection, beauty, pleasure and art. And Libra, while absolutely a flirt, is also deeply attuned to fairness and balance.
Together, these two are bringing relationships into focus. Specifically issues of equilibrium and balance in the relationship. So this is a great week to clear up any misunderstandings.
Communication is everything. It is quite honestly the key to the universe, life, world domination, you name it. I am a firm believer that almost everything can be solved with better communication.
And as you're having these important conversations this coming week in preparation for this full moon, might we suggest sipping on some Brut Rosé. Pink bubbles, especially those made in the traditional Champagne method, I feel at least, are the embodiment of a “structured flirt.” Traditional method sparkling wines take dedication, they take work and most importantly they demand balance. But then make it rosé for some kicky fun.
Even if the conversations are hard, scary, or intimidating, I can almost guarantee everyone will have a better time getting through it if they're sipping on some pink bubbles during this pink moon.
Tarot Card of the Week
The card of the week is the Nine of Wands. The Nine of Wands represents resilience, boundaries, and pushing through when you’re weary but not defeated. It’s the last test before triumph.
The wine pairing for this card is Pinotage. Pinotage is bold, smoky, and resilient—a survivor grape that thrives against the odds. Its intensity embodies the grit and endurance of the Nine of Wands.
