MOON ALERT: We have the all-clear today to shop and do business. The full moon in Virgo peaks at 12:48 p.m.

 

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Stay mellow today because the full moon could create difficulties dealing with co-workers, customers and people related to your job. Likewise, you might encounter obstacles dealing with health-related matters or something to do with a pet. Stay chill.

 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Romance plus your relations with your kids might suffer from the energy of today’s full moon. People are always more emotional with a full moon! They can be demanding, unreasonable and insecure. (Not you, of course.) This means you have to be extra patient and kind when dealing with others.

 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Today you are caught between the demands of home and family and the demands of your career or your public reputation. You can’t please both. Yes, it’s an emotional tug-of-war! With today’s full moon, you can’t ignore your career and public reputation.

 

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for your sign because of the full-moon energy. Therefore, think before you speak or do anything. Do not be rash. And do not overreact to someone else! (Because the moon is your ruler, you always feel the full moon.)

 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today’s full moon crosses both your money houses. This means financial matters might come to a head. (This could pertain to shared property, inheritances, taxes, debt and insurance issues or something to do with earnings or something you own.)

 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the only full moon in your sign all year is taking place, which is why you feel stress dealing with partners and close friends. And they might feel some stress dealing with you! Whatever the case, go slowly and be patient with everyone. What else can you do?

 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

In all your outward appearances, things might look fine today. Nevertheless, inwardly, you know your inner harmony is stressed. This is due to today’s full moon. Take a moment to mellow out and get grounded. Relax. After all, there’s a full moon every month. No biggie.

 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t make a big deal about things when dealing with friends or members of groups because things can quickly get out of hand due to the energy of today’s full moon. Don’t even go there. Be the voice of calm and reason in the midst of the storm. (Impressive.)

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Like Gemini, you are caught between the middle of two extremes in today’s full moon. Despite the demands of career and your public life, you cannot ignore home and family today. An interaction with a parent might be significant.

 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today is a full moon. Furthermore, this full moon is in your fellow Earth sign. (Seven out of ten planets are in Earth signs today!) This means you will have little trouble dealing with this full moon; however, take note that it is an accident-prone influence for you. Caution!

 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid money quarrels and arguments about possessions or how to share or divide something today. Take a reasonable approach to things because you can solve something today now it has now come to a head. (It will be apparent to you how to act.)

 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the only full moon opposite your sign all year is taking place, which is why you have difficulties dealing with others, especially those who are closest to you. This simply means you have to be easygoing, forgiving, understanding and patient. Don’t leave home without your halo.

 

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Oscar Isaac (1979) shares your birthday today. You are charming. You have a sense of humour and you are playful. Because this is a year of teaching and learning, you will learn something that sets you in a new direction, which could be crucial for your success next year. Why not explore meditation, yoga or any discipline that will help you to get a better understanding of who you are? Explore something new.

Gaps in homecare leave Winnipeg man in perilous situation

Nicole Buffie 4 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

Tom Landy fears he won’t live long enough to receive adequate homecare.

The 49-year-old Winnipegger has spinal muscular atrophy, a degenerative disease, and requires 24-7 homecare, but gaps in his care leave him sitting in one spot for hours and lately he’s developed bed sores.

Landy was approved for around-the-clock care in June 2025, but staffing issues and an investigation into a homecare worker’s workplace injury have left him without help for periods of time throughout the day and forced his 76-year-old father to fill in.

“This is what they’re here for, to take care of me, and now it feels like I’m a burden,” he said from his home in the Maples.

The ease and versatility of growing potted dahlias

Colleen Zacharias 6 minute read 2:26 PM CDT

Dahlias. One would never describe the flowers of this late-summer beauty as subdued or understated. Just the name dahlia is enough to evoke an enviable sigh.

At one time or another, many gardeners, including myself, have purchased dahlia tubers, potted them up in spring, fussed over them in summer, picked their showy blooms for cut flower arrangements, and at the end of the season, dug up the tubers and stored them over winter. It can be very rewarding to grow dahlias from tubers. And yet, dahlias, even with their dazzling flowers, have not been as prevalent in gardens as petunias, impatiens, begonias, or zinnias.

Potted dahlias are rewarding, too, and very easy to grow. In recent years, there has been a surge of new varieties of compact, container-friendly dahlias introduced to the market. These are still tuberous plants, but they are marketed in the same way as annual bedding plants. Selected for their bushier habits and shorter stems (no staking required), these new varieties offer earlier flowering and a long, reliable flowering period. Breeders are also focused on criteria such as better heat tolerance and excellent mildew resistance, essential attributes when summer days turn hot and muggy.

Admittedly, ready-to-grow potted dahlias do not produce dinner-plate-size flowers. But they do bloom prolifically, come in a wide range of colours and unique patterns and perform very well in mixed container arrangements.

Decision on corridor for Trans-Canada twinning near Ontario border expected this fall, province says

Chris Kitching 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 5:24 PM CDT

The Manitoba government is taking more time to evaluate and select a preferred corridor for the twinning of a 16-kilometre section of the Trans-Canada Highway near the Ontario boundary.

An earlier timeline indicated Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure expected to choose an alignment by the fall of 2025. A provincial spokesperson told the Free Press on Monday a decision is expected this winter, but a different spokesperson said Wednesday a decision is expected this fall.

“The department continues to evaluate corridor alternatives and will undertake additional geotechnical, environmental and design work as part of the (functional design study) to support the selection of a preferred corridor,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

The study, which will include Crown-Indigenous and public consultation, is expected to be completed in late 2027, with a detailed design to follow.

Sottobraccio brings Harth’s Italian flavours to new location in Osborne Village

Eva Wasney 4 minute read Tuesday, Jul. 28, 2026

Sottobraccio is the answer to a common refrain at Harth Mozza & Wine Bar.

“The No. 1 thing we always hear from guests at Harth is, ‘We love coming here, but it’s such a drive,’” chef Brent Genyk says of his popular fine-dining restaurant in South St. Vital.

Harth’s new sister restaurant opened in the heart of Osborne Village in June, joining a raft of other eateries that have moved into the central Winnipeg neighbourhood in recent years.

Sottobraccio is located at 160 Osborne St. in the main floor of the Zü, a new retail and residential complex built on the former site of the Osborne Village Motor Inn and its well-known music venue, the Zoo.

Measure twice… and try not to hurt yourself

Russell Wangersky 5 minute read 12:55 PM CDT

Changing speeds. It’s a hard thing to do.

A hard thing, because it’s also an admission that the speed you once had just isn’t really there anymore.

A couple of weeks ago, I began to think about a concept I’m currently calling “old-man carpentry.” It’s like any other kind of carpentry, really, just slower and more deliberate. It’s also about self-preservation.

At the moment, it’s only a handful of adages, the first and foremost being, “If something falls, don’t try to catch it.” The idea sounds simple enough, but it takes real effort and deliberate restraint — you have to get in the way of your own instinctive reactions to reach out and catch something.

City’s crisis-response proposal makes too much sense for province to ignore

Tom Brodbeck 5 minute read 2:00 PM CDT

For years, Winnipeg has asked police officers to do a job they were never trained to do.

Somewhere along the way, police became the city’s default response to virtually every crisis, not just those involving crime. Mental-health emergencies, addiction episodes, wellness checks and people in emotional distress increasingly landed on the desks of police dispatchers because there simply wasn’t another option available around the clock.

That has placed an enormous burden on police resources while often failing to provide vulnerable people with the help they actually need.

The city’s proposal to create a “fourth crisis response pathway” is a long-overdue recognition that public safety doesn’t always require a badge and a gun. Sometimes it requires a social worker, a mental-health professional or someone with specialized crisis-intervention training.
