ARIES (March 21-April 19)

The day is a mixed bag. There are still fun opportunities to play and enjoy socializing with others. However, you might be sandbagged by someone who is critical or negative. Be careful with whom you choose to associate, because they might irk you. Focus on home repairs.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Home and family are your primary focus right now. Unfortunately, discussions about money, kids, vacations and fun outings might trigger disputes or confrontations. Focus on discussions with siblings and relatives. Avoid negative people.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. However, it’s easy to find yourself at odds with authority figures, parents, bosses and even the police. Even family members are not sympathetic. Find ways to entertain yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Steer clear of controversial subjects because some people are just itching for a fight. Don’t let them find you. In fact, practically any discussion about daily matters could end up being a testy conversation, especially with siblings and relatives. (Run away! Run away!)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Despite your interest in cash flow, earnings and financial matters, do not discuss these issues with anyone else, especially if someone owes you money. People are too quick to criticize, complain and attack. It’s in the stars. Keep to yourself as much as possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Even though Venus is in your sign promoting diplomacy and charm, nevertheless, relations with partners, spouses and close friends as well as authority figures — parents, bosses and the police — are dicey! Seek solitude for your own peace of mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You like to keep the peace and you like happy, harmonious surroundings. However, people are too quick to be on each other’s cases, dispute issues and even criticize others. You don’t need this. Fortunately, relations with a friend or a group might be OK for you. Tread carefully.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a tough day for romance because people are in a bad mood and too quick to criticize. Your feelings might be quickly hurt. Or you might hurt someone else’s feelings? Furthermore, people will notice you. Do your best to be friendly and diplomatic. (For your own sake.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a poor day to approach authority figures — parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police — to ask for permission or approval. Don’t do it. Likewise, discussions with partners, spouses and close friends might also be alienating. Find a comfortable place to hide with comfort food.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Issues with work colleagues might come to a head and create problems, because people are sensitive and also unnecessarily critical. It’s not good. Fortunately, you might find sympathy through a close friend, spouse or partner. Keep a low profile. Say as little as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is the perfect day for a nap. Unfortunately, romantic relationships are stressed and disappointing. Likewise, parents might find dealing with their kids to be a real challenge. Social occasions will likely disappoint. (Run for cover.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Bury yourself in work, or escape somewhere, because your relations with family members, spouses, partners and people at home are challenged! Don’t expect co-operation or help from them. Instead, be sympathetic and understanding. Social outings, sports and activities with children might be excellent choices for you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Sam Worthington (1976) shares your birthday. You are energetic and loyal. You’re also straightforward, incisive and logical. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Focus on business and personal relationships and hang out with people who are kind and helpful. Focus on your needs and what brings you happiness.

Long journey to home ownership for Eritrean couple

Zoe Pierce 4 minute read Saturday, Aug. 1, 2026

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.

For the second time in less than a year, fire broke out in a former restaurant on Main Street.

Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service crews responded to reports of fire at Boujee Restaurant and Bar, a vacant, single-storey building on the 100 block of Main Street at 5:38 p.m. Sunday. The same building was previously damaged in an October 2025 fire.

Heavy smoke was coming from the building when firefighters arrived on scene. Crews declared the fire under control at 9:40 p.m. No one was found inside the building and no injuries were reported.

The fire is under investigation. No damage estimates were available, but the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service stated in a news release Sunday the building sustained significant damage from smoke, fire and water.

A man was stabbed while waiting for a bus near The Forks Saturday in a random act of violence, Winnipeg police say.

An unknown man "appeared unexpectedly" while the victim, in his 20s, was standing at a bus stop in the first block of Israel Asper Way just after 6:30 p.m. Aug. 1 and stabbed him, the Winnipeg Police Service stated in a news release Sunday.

Police officers provided emergency medical care before the victim was taken to hospital in stable condition.

Police located a suspect shortly afterward along Forks Market Road and the Major Crimes Unit took over the investigation.

Downtown Keg closes… to reopen nearby

Free Press staff 2 minute read Friday, Jul. 31, 2026

Downtown Winnipeg is without a Keg restaurant — for a couple of months, anyways.

The Keg Steakhouse and Bar vacated 115 Garry St. on Wednesday, after more than five decades at the location. It will open in a new Donald Street apartment tower this fall.

Its move comes after years of waiting. The DSM, at 185 Donald St., sat as a partially started apartment block after its developer stopped operating and sought creditor protection in April 2023. The developer began the project in 2019.

Carrington Real Estate took over in 2024. Part of the 14-storey site’s initial plans — pre-Carrington — was for the Keg to occupy the main floor.

Hydro CEO needs to reckon with winds of change

Dan Lett 5 minute read 3:28 PM CDT

Methinks Hydro CEO Allan Danroth protests too much.

At a recent hearing in front of the Public Utilities Board, Danroth suggested Hydro’s plan to build a $3-billion natural-gas-powered generating plant near Brandon was being subjected to unfair criticism. The gas turbines are meant to bolster Hydro’s grid in the event that drought lowers output from hydro-generating stations.

After hearing submissions from interveners concerned about the gas-turbine plan, Danroth lashed out at the “constant, uninformed criticism” that has not only shaken trust in Hydro but also triggered threatening responses from the public.

Danroth said Hydro is monitoring “eight credible threats” against employees, five of which targeted the CEO himself. Although Danroth cited some specific incidents — employees being threatened with guns, and one where a homeowner set his dogs on a meter reader — he refused to elaborate on the circumstances.
