MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping from 3:30 p.m. until 4:45 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Taurus into Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Keep an eye on your money scene because you might find cash or you might lose some. You might also have some brilliant moneymaking ideas. Likewise, protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Trust your innovative thoughts because you’re creative and in the zone.

The Diplomat star Ato Essandoh turns 52 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might feel restless. This is because the moon is in your sign lined up with unpredictable Uranus. However, this energy can also charge you up so you’re ready to make a blow for your freedom. You might suddenly make a life-changing decision. (These things are possible.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Stay on your toes because things are moving fast. You’ll be successful in talking to others; and you’ll be successful in negotiating. You will also be successful in studying, reading and writing. This includes sales and marketing. You have lots of energy and you’re ready for change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You are primarily focused on earnings, cash flow and possibly shopping (check moon alert); nevertheless, expect to be surprised by a friend or member of a group. Someone else might do something unexpected, but it could open new doors for you? Stay ready. Get your facts.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re powerful with three planets in your sign. You have the edge. Plus, the moon is lined up with Uranus at the top of your chart, which ignites your independence. Something might happen that makes you want to change your direction in life. It’s exciting.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Sudden travel opportunities might drop into your lap. If so, act quickly because this window of opportunity is brief. Or you might have a chance to take a course or study. Likewise, surprise opportunities in publishing, the law and medicine might also occur. Stay on your toes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This continues to be a popular time for you especially with younger people and creative types. However, it’s wise to make friends with your bank account and other financial matters because something sudden and unexpected could impact your assets or shared property. You snooze, you lose. Stay in the know.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Expect a curveball from a friend, spouse or partner because the moon is opposite your sign lined up with unpredictable Uranus. Someone might want to change the terms of the relationship. They might want more freedom. Something is up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You love animals. That’s why it’s important to know something unexpected could impact your pet. Therefore, be vigilant. Likewise, something unusual might impact your job. One aspect might be that you decide to quit your job to be self-employed. (Could be anything.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents should be vigilant because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Know where they are at all times. Be careful of electrical dangers. Meanwhile, social plans might be cancelled or delayed; or you might receive an exciting, surprise invitation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Your home routine will change. A small appliance might break down or a minor outage could occur. Someone unexpected might knock on your door — it could be anything. Or you might break free from an oppressive situation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a potentially accident-prone day for you. On the upside, you might do something bold and different. You might speak up for yourself and demand what you want. It’s an unpredictable day.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Ato Essandoh (1972) shares your birthday. You’re independent, energetic and positive. Many of you assume a leadership role. You believe in the greatest good for the greatest number. This is a wonderful year when your efforts will be rewarded. Expect a promotion, kudos and the acknowledgement of your peers. The spotlight is on you.

The health of water

Dimple Roy 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

As World Water Week kicks off, I have been greatly heartened to discover that, right here in Manitoba and even across Canada, there’s a broad consensus that we need more — and better — solutions to the water crises we’re currently facing.

According to a new poll, nearly 73 per cent of Canadians believe improving water infrastructure is an urgent priority.

Unfortunately, this sense of urgency is clearly born from that fact that around two-thirds of Canadians have experienced water-related issues in the past five years. Here in the Prairies, the story is even more bleak, with one in three reporting experiences with water main breaks, nearly double the national average.

More than half of Canadians believe these problems are becoming more frequent — likely due in no small part to the ever-intensifying impacts of climate change.

Senior’s family frustrated by Manitoba Housing’s response to apartment’s bedbug infestation

Malak Abas 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

The family of a senior who left his Manitoba Housing apartment after two years of bedbug infestations is accusing the provincial body of being ineffectual and irresponsible in its treatment of the persistent pests.

The senior had lived at the Columbus Courts building at 253 Edgeland Blvd., since 2011, but when he began getting severe skin rashes all over his body about two years ago, his son began to worry.

They found out the 14-storey building was being sprayed for bedbugs after an infestation had impacted several units. After multiple rounds of pesticide treatments, the problem has not subsided, the son told the Free Press.

“They come in, they spray pesticides and then they leave. And it’s been completely ineffectual,” he said. “My dad keeps seeing the bedbugs even the day after the treatments and continuously, they’ve just gotten worse and worse.”

Inflation-battered U.S. voters could prove to be key Canadian ally in fight against Trump’s trade tyranny

Dan Lett 5 minute read Yesterday at 1:37 PM CDT

Is there anything or anyone that can help Canada and the United States avoid an unprecedented trade war?

Both nations stand poised on the precipice of a tariff battle that could — in the worst-case scenario — trigger an economic downturn. Both countries have a lot to lose, but neither country is showing any sign of backing down.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has, by all accounts, given negotiation a full chance to defuse the trade war. It didn’t work and it appears now that nothing — neither thoughtful negotiation or retaliatory measures — will dissuade U.S. President Donald Trump from his war of trade attrition.

Increasingly, it appears that if Trump is going to back away from punitive tariffs against Canada, it will be because of mounting pressure from within the United States and not because of tough talk and countermeasures from this side of the border.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your interactions with friends and members of groups might be intense. Someone might do something that catches you off-guard. Or perhaps, you’ll meet someone unusual? Very likely, you’ll feel sympathetic for someone else, and you might look for ways to help them.
