Moon alert: We have the all-clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The moon is in your sign, which makes you more feisty than usual. (That’s saying a lot.) However, it will also slightly boost your good-luck factor. This is good because we all need all the luck we can get.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This has been a busy time for you, which is why you seek out solitude in beautiful surroundings or, at least, a chance to catch your breath somewhere. (Preferably with something delicious to eat.) Maybe you can get a massage?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You will enjoy a confidential conversation with a female friend today. Perhaps you will discuss your hopes and dreams for the future? Or perhaps you’ll have a meaningful discussion with a member of a group? Be open and trusting.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Personal details about your private life might be public today. People notice you. (This includes the police.) Be aware of what you’re doing in case you have to do some damage control. Meanwhile, you are empowered because the sun and fiery Mars are in your sign.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re restless for adventure. You want to do something different because you want some excitement and a chance to learn something new. The bottom line is you want to feel you are expanding your world in some way. Gopher it. Or go for baroque.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a good day to keep track of details related to insurance matters, shared property, inheritances and such. You might focus on banking needs. Fortunately, your ability to relate to bosses, parents and people in authority is excellent because Venus is at the top of your chart. Yay!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Because the moon is opposite your sign, you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This will be easy because, more than any other sign, you’re a pleaser. You like to get along and you don’t like to rock the boat.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a busy time because travel and getting further education are on your mind. You might address the practical details of doing this so you can do one or the other, or both. Gifts, goodies and favours from others will help you succeed in getting your wish.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Look for opportunities to play and have some fun because this will lift your spirits. (It’s easy to get along with others because Venus is opposite your sign.) You’re keen to learn, explore and meet new people, especially people who are “different” because of the placement of Mercury.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If you get a chance, cocoon at home or keep things on the down-low, you will welcome this. Intense interaction with partners and close friends has been a lot to deal with lately. Fortunately, matters at work are flowing smoothly — relatively speaking.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

By nature, you are a networker par excellence and you’re keen to talk to others. What you really want is to get right down to it — you don’t want to waste time with superficial chit-chat. You want the skinny — you want to know what’s happening.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a playful, fun-loving time and you might feel the need for some therapy shopping. If so, keep your receipts (and the box) because you will be spontaneous and impulsive. If you’re making financial or business decisions, give everything sober second thought.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor-writer Ricky Gervais (1961) shares your birthday. You have a creative flair and need to express it. You know how to balance career and home. This is a year of teaching and learning. You might learn something profound that sends you in a new direction crucial for your success next year. Start to explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that helps you to better understand who you are.

Dreaming of a better future

Tiago Resko 3 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The lingering ghosts of colonialism have long haunted Nova Scotia artist Arjun Lal.

“When I’m thinking of colonial ghosts, it’s these elements of colonial legacy and oppression that maintains a presence in this contemporary world,” says Lal, 34.

He said he most commonly sees this in the fetish community, where colonialism is still often role-played through the oppressor and the oppressed.

Seeing how society’s systems and spaces are still shaped by colonial powers, Lal, whose parents both immigrated from India, questioned what it would be like to break free from these systems and their current form: What would it be like to be a flamingo?

Russia: home of Potemkin nuclear bombs?

Gwynne Dyer 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

There’s a lot of performative militarism in Russia at the moment, which is unsurprising. given that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is still stalled halfway through the fifth year of the war. The style is more Mussolini than Hitler, however, and the effect is more tacky than terrifying.

Qualico celebrating 75 years of growth, success since its first development of 13 bungalows in River Heights

Aaron Epp 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

The first things staff and visitors see after ascending to the third floor of Qualico’s head office in Winnipeg are two statues — one each for company founders David and Katherine Friesen.

Flanking the doors to the integrated real estate company’s C-suite offices, the bronze sculptures are monuments to the couple and the vision, strength and integrity (as the plaques attached to the wooden pedestals attest) it took to start Qualico in 1951.

But imagine for a moment what it would be like if the sculptures were less reverent and more whimsical. Picture them outfitted with the kind of pull-string voice boxes one finds in a child’s toy. What might they say?

It’s possible one of David Friesen’s phrases would be: “No margin, no mission.”

The lot Jesse Bettcher lives on in Winnipeg's North End used to be a pile of burnt rubble. Same with the one next door. And the one across the street. But he's now the proud owner of a two-storey house with blue-grey siding and white trim.

Visitors from across Canada make Somerset restaurant’s social media challenge a success

Zoe Pierce 3 minute read Saturday, Jul. 25, 2026

There may not be another restaurant in Manitoba that can say it has welcomed visitors from as many communities across the province and beyond as the Somerset Food Bar & Lounge has this summer.

In just over a two week span, visitors from more than 100 towns have come out to the family-owned restaurant tucked away in Somerset, a community of roughly 450 people in the Pembina Valley 130 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg.

It started as a challenge, “60 Towns in 60 Days,” where the restaurant wanted to document how many different places they could reach, as it often sees people travelling across Canada stop at the restaurant. The goal was also to encourage people to make a drive they normally wouldn’t.

“The more we started sharing, the more people really started getting behind it, and it turned into this really big thing fairly quickly,” said Jay Friesen, restaurant manager.
