MOON ALERT: Caution! Wait until after 2:30 p.m. today to shop or make important decisions. The lunar eclipse in Pisces takes place at 11:18 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Even though there’s some strong energy with the full moon, you can hustle and get a lot done! Don’t go against authority figures. Keep to yourself. Someone younger might help you. Stay busy and you’ll be pleased with the results.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Co-workers are supportive, which is why you’ll be productive. However, romance and dealings with your kids might be challenged because of the full moon, which is an intense lunar eclipse. You’ll be forthright and direct in all your communications.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You might feel a tug-of-war between authority figures and the demands of home and family. You can’t keep both these areas happy, which means you have to make a choice. Your choice has to be in favour of home and family and your personal life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Because the moon is your ruler, naturally you will feel the energy of the full moon. Be careful, because it could introduce an accident-prone tendency. Therefore, pay attention to everything you say and do. Think before you act.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Something to do with your finances might come to a head. As a result, you’ll see there’s a light at the end of the tunnel — and it’s not a train. This can be a productive day! You’re charming with everyone. Be aware of the moon alert.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The sun is in your sign opposing the moon in Pisces creating the lunar eclipse. This could make you feel something has evolved to a point of fruition. It could pertain to your sense of responsibility for others. It might also deal with a shift in your values.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a productive day! You’re ambitious and the energy of the full moon makes you want to tackle unfinished business because you have lots of brainpower. (Actually, you always have lots of brainpower, which is why many of you are in the legal profession.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Issues related to a friend or member of a group might come to a head. If so, you can expect a resolution — one way or another. Whatever happens will probably make you look good in the eyes of everyone, because your reputation is solid this year. Lucky you!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Dealings with bosses, parents and authority figures might be challenged because of the full-moon energy. You can’t ignore their demands. This could relate to a dispute about your property or shared expenses. Whatever the case, be charming and conciliatory. (Do your friendly-breezy thang.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Pay attention to everything you say and do, because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you due to the lunar eclipse. You might find yourself in an argument with someone. Be smart and steer clear of controversial issues. Be patient with spouses, partners and friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Financial matters might come to a head. This could be about issues related to a residential move, a job change or both. Or it could be about something incidental. But when money is involved, nothing is incidental, is it? Make sure you have the right facts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The full moon is in your sign, which can make dealings with those closest to you a bit stressed. Be accommodating, but be aware you can be productive and get a lot done!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Aaron Paul (1979) shares your birthday. You are intelligent, tenacious and articulate. You’re also inventive, practical and grounded. This year is the final year of a nine-year cycle. Let go of people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Focus on being more compassionate and loving to others.

E-scooters can be the future — if done right

Mel Marginet 7 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The summer of 2026 has been the season that e-scooters and e-bikes transitioned from something advocates were predicting would be a big deal to an obvious reality to everyday Manitobans.

The conditions have been right for an uptick — we’re in the midst of an affordability crisis in which more and more people are looking for alternatives to driving. As demand has soared, availability has moved beyond mostly European exports to incredibly cheap options being available on dubious sales platforms such as Temu.

If you’ve been passed by a zooming e-bike or nearly run off the sidewalk by an e-scooter, you’re probably saying “the city ought to have some rules about this!”

Municipalities have been requesting that the province update the Highway Traffic Act for years so that micromobility options, such as e-scooters, can be regulated under bylaws. Provincial legislation that would prohibit riding on sidewalks, set age limits, restrict speed and require helmet use was passed on June 1, but has not yet been proclaimed. This has created the “Wild West” environment we’re in now.

Real investment required

Re: Condition critical (Aug. 22)

Manitoba’s hospital crisis is often blamed on the aging population, bed shortages and staffing challenges. But these are symptoms, not causes. The facts show the situation has deteriorated far beyond what demographic change alone can explain.

At the Health Sciences Centre, all 58 treatment beds are routinely full, with another dozen ambulance patients lined up in hallways under the care of a single nurse. Thirty to 40 people wait in the ER for hours — many for 10 to 20 hours — before seeing a physician because “there’s no place for them to go.” Patients are deteriorating while they wait. The 90th-percentile wait time hit 12.3 hours in June — triple pre-pandemic levels. Manitoba now has among the highest ER wait times in Canada.

Arts & Life team taste-tests new Kraft concoction

AV Kitching 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

Prepare your tongue for the ultimate thrill, as Kraft Dinner has once again veered wildly out of its box and into new territory.

Just when we all thought the brand had peaked after unleashing its limited-run New York-style KD Mac & Cheesecake earlier this summer, the beloved pantry staple set its sights on dethroning another kitchen cupboard essential: instant noodles.

Emboldened by the rapturous reception of cheesecake lovers nationwide who had clearly been hankering for the savoury-sweet combo, the convenience food’s latest mashup pairs its infamous neon-orange cheese powder with classic ramen soup seasoning and dehydrated noodles.

The resulting bowl is a respectable attempt at creating a North American version of the South Korean trend of noodle lovers adding slices of processed cheese to their ramyeon to temper spice levels and added creaminess.

Reject roadie role, stick to your own tune

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My girlfriend is a great singer and guitar player, but now she’s gotten in with some male musicians to form a band for playing bars. I’m a drummer, but a terrible one. They found themselves a great one a couple weeks ago, so I’ve been pushed out.

My girl could see I was feeling jealous of her continued band action, so she told me I should still come out to help schlep the equipment to and from the gig. That’s just not happening — I won’t be their lowly roadie to boss around!

So, now what happens to her and I? Let me guess — we break up, and what do you know? The singer guy sees his chance and makes a big play for her. She is a beautiful, talented woman. Help!

Thirteen accused in gun, drug trafficking network in rural Manitoba

Erik Pindera 4 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026

RCMP and Winkler police have arrested more than a dozen people allegedly connected to a drug-and-gun trafficking network that operated in rural Manitoba.

The joint investigation began in December 2024, when officers from the Winkler Police Service asked the Mounties for help after learning kilograms of cocaine were being imported to a Winkler-area truck repair business, said RCMP Supt. Jeff Asmundson, who oversees the force’s Manitoba integrated law enforcement team.

Mounties and Winkler police gathered evidence for 19 months and expanded the probe, dubbed Project Dolor, as investigators learned other types of illicit substances and firearms were being trafficked by the network in a number of southern Manitoba communities, said Asmundson, whose team investigates serious and organized crime.

“It started as a cocaine trafficking investigation, and obviously, as we move along in a project or a file, evidence is gathered and an opportunity arose and we wanted to ensure public safety,” he told reporters Tuesday. “We were able to secure some firearms.”
