MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions after 2 p.m. The moon is in Aries.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a powerful day for you because the moon is in your sign, and there is a lovely trine between Jupiter and Saturn happening. This will encourage you to make plans — cautiously. You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work.

The Other Bennet Sister star Donal Finn is 31 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This day is a mixture of work and play for you. Opportunities to enjoy sporting events, fun times with children, the arts, theatre and the entertainment world are at hand. However, you might see ways to secure something related to home and family.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Even though your strong focus now is on home, family and perhaps renovations, Venus wants you to play. In addition to this, it’s a good day to think about long-range goals, especially in practical terms. Be aware of the moon alert and just jot down your ideas for future reference.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You have lots of energy this week with fiery Mars in your sign. In addition to which, both the sun and Mercury will keep you busy with short trips, appointments, errands and chatting with everyone. You’ll enjoy entertaining at home as well. It’s a good day for solid financial plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Money, cash flow and earnings have been on your mind. However, Jupiter in your sign is dancing favourably with Saturn (for the first time since 2014). Trust your ability to make plans about travel, publishing, medicine, the law and higher education. Tentative, yes, but a beginning.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The sun and Mercury are in your sign, which makes you chatty and eager to talk to others. You might want to buy beautiful things, if so, check the restrictions of the moon alert. (See above). Take a moment to do some serious thinking about shared property and your debt.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If you’re involved with a friend, group or organization, you might help others to make a mission statement or come up with a group goal. This is an excellent day to explore this — but don’t settle on anything. Don’t agree, just yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might make some plans about your future, especially regarding your job, career or your name in the community. Nevertheless, commit to nothing. (See what happens after tomorrow.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You make an excellent impression on others now, which is why it’s a great time to talk to bosses, parents and VIPs. You might discuss travel plans and issues related to children, the arts and social outings. Wait until later in the week to agree to anything.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Family discussions might produce profitable suggestions for home and family or to deal with shared property. Nevertheless, don’t agree to anything because things might change, especially after tomorrow. Just put ideas in your databank for now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A discussion with a partner, spouse or close friend will be enthusiastic, practical and productive. You might even want to jump on the bandwagon to get things rolling, but don’t be too eager. Tomorrow will have some obstacles. Wait to see how things pan out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have growing optimism about your job and ability to earn money. You might listen to the advice of someone who is enthusiastic and encouraging. Nevertheless, get your data but wait until later in the week to act, because tomorrow could be a game changer.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Donal Finn (1995) shares your birthday. You’re charismatic, focused and motivated. You’re also charming, efficient and committed to your goals. This is a year of work and construction. Create foundations in your life both externally and internally. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health, perhaps through martial arts or yoga. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Winnipeg man among those missing in Nepal flash flood

Free Press staff 2 minute read Saturday, Aug. 29, 2026

A Winnipeg man on a pilgrimage in Nepal is among nearly 2,000 people missing after a deadly flash flood devastated a popular tourist region along the Himalayan border earlier this week.

Mohit Kaushik, 49, was travelling with a tour group taking part in the Kailash Manasarovar Yatra, a sacred, days-long pilgrimage to Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar in neighbouring Tibet, according to social media posts.

“Our friend and neighbour, Mohit Kaushik, a resident of Winnipeg, Canada, has been out of contact since yesterday while travelling from Timure during his pilgrimage to Kailash Mansarovar,” Swikriti Pokhrel wrote in a social media post. “If you have seen him or find his name on any hospital list, please let us know. Thank you.”

Kaushik has not been heard from since Wednesday, when a glacier collapse in the nearby Himalayas triggered catastrophic flooding and landslides, sending a torrent of ice, rock and debris roughly 100 kilometres downstream.

Council candidates call out vandalism after campaign signs defaced in Waverley West

Council candidates call out vandalism after campaign signs defaced in Waverley West

Scott Billeck 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 11:34 AM CDT

A council candidate in Waverley West said she will not be intimidated after 16 of her campaign signs were vandalized this week — some with apparent gang symbols.

Nafiya Naso is the second candidate in the ward whose signs were defaced this month. Jasmine Brar, who is also running for the council seat, had some of her signs broken on Friday along Kenaston Boulevard and signs near Naso’s that were also defaced on Saturday.

Earlier this month, Eaglewood Park in the nearby Prairie Pointe neighbourhood was also vandalized with graffiti that included homophobic slurs, anti-India messages and repeated references to “3LK” — a symbol Naso believes is associated with a gang.

Naso’s signs, located along Waverley Street near Tim Sale Drive and across from École South Pointe School in southwest Winnipeg, were spray-painted with apparent gang signs, crude drawings and other messages, including “loser” and “Ur not winning” written across her name and photograph.

Carney’s defence of Lake Ontario carries enormous weight

Niigaan Sinclair 5 minute read Friday, Aug. 28, 2026

For centuries on Turtle Island (North America), explorers, map makers, and political leaders have erased Indigenous place names and substituted them — more often than not — with political, ethnocentric, and self-aggrandizing names.

In recent years, a few places on the continent have had Indigenous names re-established, but as of today, few of the original names are “official.”

So, it was no surprise when U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order directing the U.S. Department of the Interior and Board on Geographic Names to take steps within 30 days to officially rename Lake Ontario as “Lake America.”

The move may have been a result of the Canada-U.S. trade war and Trump’s pettiness and ego, but it also fits in perfectly with his career.

Trump: Ozymandias revisited?

John R. Wiens 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

In 1818, Percy Bysshe Shelley, inspired by the shattered statue of the most powerful Egyptian Pharaoh, Ramses II, wrote the sonnet Ozymandias as a comment on human hubris and impermanence. It provides a fitting epithet for the imperialistic forays of the current United States’ president and would-be autocrat, Donald J. Trump.

What Ramses and Trump have in common is unrestrained hubris and unlimited delusion.

Ramses says: “My name is O, King of Kings. Look at my works you Mighty and despair.”

Trump’s hubris and bluster on limits to his power: “There is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” On Truth Social, Trump declared himself the “most powerful person that has EVER walked this planet.”

Security guard in stable condition after grocery store assault

Scott Billeck 2 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 2:31 PM CDT

A security guard was taken to hospital after an assault at a Sargent Avenue FreshCo Friday, just days after another guard was stabbed during a robbery at a St. James Dollarama.

Winnipeg police said officers were called to a store in the 600 block of Sargent Avenue shortly after 1 p.m. for a report of an assault.

An 24-year-old male victim was taken to hospital in critical condition, later upgraded to stable. Charges against a 23-year-old man were announced Sunday. The suspect had tried to leave the grocery store without paying for merchandise before a confrontation broke out and he pulled out a knife outside of the store, the Winnipeg Police Service stated in a news release Sunday.

Peter Edwin Morrison Black, 23, has been charged with robbery, assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon. He was detained in custody. He was arrested Aug. 29, the day after the stabbing, in the area of Ellice Avenue and Sherbrook Street.

Health care needs long-term planning

Editorial, Aug. 31 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

If there’s been a throughline in the past 30 years of Manitoba politics — apart from the fact the electorate has bounced between NDP and Progressive Conservative governments — it’s that the state of provincial health care is almost always in the headlines.

Remember the “hallway medicine” catchphrase used by Gary Doer’s New Democrats in the 1999 provincial election campaign? It’s not that far removed from the “ER bottlenecks” that Manitobans, especially Winnipeggers, must deal with today.

In a recent Free Press examination of emergency room medicine (Condition critical, Aug. 22), Dr. Alecs Chochinov, a former director of emergency medicine at St. Boniface Hospital, attributed the bottleneck problem to “access block,” meaning that more personal-care home beds and home-care services are needed to free up acute-care hospital beds and enable patients to move more quickly through emergency rooms.

So, how should access block be addressed and who should direct the implementation of long-term investment and solutions?
