MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Today is a mix between optimism and almost a feeling of guilt about what you should be doing. Lighten up. We all “should be doing” more, but it’s totally OK to be doing the best you can. Basically, you’re in a positive frame of mind, so enjoy your day.

Singer Rod Stewart turns 80 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might have excellent moneymaking ideas, which is not surprising because you are the financial wizard of the zodiac. You can practically mint money in your backyard. Nevertheless, someone older or a member of a group might be critical. (You can’t please everyone.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You feel upbeat and happy as well as sympathetic and generous to others. The world is your oyster. Even your health feels vigorous. Later in the day, a boss, parent or someone in authority might rain on your parade. (This is nothing you can’t handle.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You have a warm feeling in your tummy, which is why travel appeals, as does a chance to meet new and different people. You’re also happy to be low-key and work alone or behind the scenes. Rules and regulations might discourage you. And so it goes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a popular day for you. In particular, you will enjoy shmoozing with friends and interacting with groups, clubs and organizations. Admittedly, later in the day, the restrictions of shared finances or differing values might be a challenge. Nevertheless, you will remain optimistic.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re high-viz in a positive way. People see you as upbeat, joyful and generous. Many will admire you. Nevertheless, duties and obligations connected with a partner, spouse or close friend cannot be ignored. Don’t worry, you can handle this. Enjoy good times.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Travel plans and opportunities are exciting. You’re keen to see ways to expand your world, if not through travel, then by learning or exploring opportunities in medicine, the law, higher education, publishing or the media. So many possibilities. But first, take care of work obligations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You feel rich because you see ways to benefit from the wealth and resources of others, perhaps a partner or spouse. Some of you might inherit. Whatever happens, you can’t ignore the responsibilities you have for kids. You might also have to pick up the tab for a social occasion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Relations with members of the general public as well as spouses, partners and close friends are warm and friendly. You will feel stimulated by the company of others. Nevertheless, responsibilities with a parent or someone at home cannot be ignored.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Work-related travel is likely. Others will be happy to form partnerships and groups in order to get the most done. Teamwork is the key. Don’t fall into worry mode. “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a marvellous day to shmooz with others. Enjoy social outings, sporting events, the arts, musical performances, the theatre and playful activities with kids. Admittedly, financial restrictions might clip your wings or make you rethink some plans. It was ever thus. You play — you pay.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a wonderful day to entertain at home. In fact, group gatherings for any reason will be a positive experience for you. You might also check out real-estate opportunities. Nevertheless, you can’t ignore obligations you face you right now. That’s the name of the game.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Singer, songwriter Rod Stewart (1945) shares your birthday. You’re self-confident, charming, optimistic and always original. You inspire respect from others. This year is slower-paced. It’s OK to rest. Take time to rejuvenate your energies and focus on those who are kind and helpful to you. It’s OK to get help from others.

One of the only remaining grocery-store options for people living downtown and in the Exchange District is closing its doors.

Red notices on the windows at Giant Tiger’s Donald Street and Ellice Avenue location advised passersby the store will close on Nov. 7.

Chain spokesperson Jessica Charbonneau said in an email the decision to shutter stores is “not taken lightly and is made with careful consideration and thorough analysis.”

The store was busy Thursday afternoon.

Long journey to home ownership for Eritrean couple

Zoe Pierce 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Solomon Ghebru and his family have been building a life together in Winnipeg for the past three years after years of living apart in various countries. Now, they are working toward a new goal: owning a home.

Their story is the focus of this year’s Habitat for Humanity Manitoba Cycle of Hope fundraising ride, a seven-day cycling event through southern Manitoba that begins Monday. The ride aims to raise $150,000 to support Ghebru, his wife, Mehret Awate, and their two daughters as they work toward affordable homeownership.

The couple’s journey to Canada started in Eritrea, where they grew up and attended the same church together. They left Eritrea separately, hoping to build a better life together out of the country. Ghebru travelled through Sudan and Libya before reaching Malta, while Awate travelled to Sudan and then Uganda.

After he found work in Malta, he tried to have his family join him, but government policies prevented them from reuniting. The couple married in Uganda in 2016, and their first daughter, Peniel, was born there the following year.

Sci-fi, fantasy bookstore to land downtown

Ben Sigurdson 4 minute read 2:03 AM CDT

New bookstore alert! New bookstore alert!

On Tuesday at 10 a.m., Other Places Books is slated to open its doors at 436 Graham Ave., just a few doors down from mainstay Bison Books (424 Graham Ave.).

The bookstore’s focus will be science fiction and fantasy, and, says the website (opbooks.store), “will be a friendly, inclusive, and very queer space.” Other Places is the project of Didi Chanoch, who has been chronicling the bookstore’s progress on Bluesky (@didichanoch.northsky.social).

Other Places is the third genre-specific bookstore to open in Winnipeg in recent years. Raven’s End Books (1859 Portage Ave.) opened in 2024, specializing in the horror genre, while Bound to Please (995 McPhillips St.) kicked off selling books in the romance genre in February.

On eve of Folklorama, Ghana pavilion scrambles to replace stolen outfits

Chris Kitching 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 4:46 PM CDT

Volunteers from Folklorama’s Ghana pavilion scrambled to replace cultural costumes for about 40 young dancers after the outfits were stolen in Winnipeg days before the annual festival begins.

Two plastic storage bins containing the costumes, to be worn by children and teenagers, were taken from the trunk of a parked car on Banning Street, near Notre Dame Avenue in the West End, likely late Wednesday or early Thursday.

“I felt sad that this has happened. I felt completely devastated for the mother who had them in her car,” said pavilion co-ordinator Abigail Larson. “The initial feeling of sadness changed to, ‘OK, how do we make this a positive?’”

The costumes belong to the Ghana Union of Manitoba Dancers, whose members have rehearsed for months for Folklorama, which begins Sunday.

Chinese newcomers protest over delays in security screening clearance

Tyler Searle 4 minute read Yesterday at 4:00 PM CDT

Dozens of Chinese newcomers rallied outside Winnipeg’s federal immigration office Friday to protest what they describe as untenable delays to Canada’s security screening process.

The rally against Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada comes after a surge in immigration security screening requests created backlogs for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

Protesters said the resulting delays have left them in limbo as they try to obtain permanent residency.

“We just want transparency,” said Pakying Chau, 26, who travelled from Hong Kong to Winnipeg in 2018 to study agribusiness.
