Grounded and secure, you are the steadfast Empress this month, Taurus, radiating Maleficent’s dignified command. Let your wisdom and patience be your guides.

Leo – The Sun (Scar) 24 July - 23 August
With charisma that rivals Scar’s royal ambition, Leo, your natural leadership shines brightly this month. Success is in reach if you channel your drive constructively. Temper your need for recognition with humility—true strength lies in empowering others, not overshadowing them.

Pairing: Get in some Ruffino Prosecco bubbles as you grove throughout the month. This fruity and floral fizz is great for every day sipping. It doesn’t overpower good nosh. Pairs wonderfully with pizza, pasta, salads, and a sexy goth cheese plate.

Virgo – Justice (Cruella de Vil) 24 August - 23 September
This month brings the balance you crave, Virgo, like Cruella ruthlessly pursuing her vision of style (though hopefully in a less destructive way!). Seek harmony between your ambitions and ethical boundaries, weighing both your goals and the impact they have on those around you.

Pairing: When you want Brut with balance the Boschendal Grande Cuvée Brut hits. This South African bubbly has aromas of green apples, brioche buns, and citrus. The grapes are hand-picked at dawn, which add to the magick in the bottle.

Aquarius – The Hermit (Mother Gothel) 21 January - 19 February
November invites you to step back, much like Mother Gothel retreating to her tower. Embrace some “me time” and reflection to reconnect with your inner wisdom. Use this time to consider what truly serves you, and be cautious of overextending yourself in others’ lives—self-care is your top priority.

Pairing: Get the French feels with Willm Cremant d'Alsace Brut Rosé. The bubbles game from Alsace can’t be denied. This sassy rosé is a burst of red fruit and a good selection for when you want to chill and binge on a show.

Pisces – The Hanged Man (Yzma) 20 February - 20 March
This month calls for patience and perspective. Just like Yzma biding her time to take the throne, you may feel stuck or delayed, but this is a chance to reassess. Embrace a fresh viewpoint and let go of what no longer serves you. Trust that the pause will bring insights leading to breakthroughs. Change is on the way!

Pairing: Nothing like the fun Bisol Jeio Prosecco Brut to give you a reset boost. This Brut makes you feel like you are in Italy sipping on a rooftop. Hits the palate with a touch of fruit, as you sip remember there’s nothing that you can’t do.
