MOON ALERT: After 7 a.m. today there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Gemini.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You’re impulsive, and you are also highly creative. You might have an original idea that surprises everyone. Don’t hesitate to share what you think even if it sounds a bit touchy-feely or too “out there.” Meanwhile, keep hard at work busting your buns.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might have some unusual ideas about making money or increasing your earnings. Admittedly, something unexpected might also impact something you own. Therefore, guard your possessions against loss, theft or damage. Strive to be clear in your thinking and communications.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is an unusually powerful day for you because the moon is in your sign enhanced by several planets. You’ll be an effective communicator who might inspire a friend or group. However, guard against impulsive, rash actions because your moods will change quickly. Keep your eyes open!

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might feel restless. Make no assumptions when dealing with authority figures (parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police) because there is a possibility of confusion or misunderstandings. You have strong ideas about shared property, inheritance and debt.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

A friend might say or do something that catches you off-guard. Or perhaps a member of a group will do so? Possibly, something unusual, even in the news, makes you feel sympathetic to someone and you want to help. Meanwhile, conversations with partners and close friends could be intense.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Keep your eye on authority figures — including parents — because they might do something you least expect. (“Busted!”) It can be minor, or it could be major. Don’t break the rules. Ask for permission. Some of you will look for ways to improve your health or job.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Travel plans might be interrupted. Or you might suddenly have to travel when you didn’t expect to do so. Romantic exchanges as well as interactions with kids might be intense. (You might even feel jealous.) Meanwhile, you’ll want to help a partner or someone close to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Think twice before you make an important financial decision, especially if giving someone else money or sharing something. Don’t be rash. Give everything a sober second thought. (Even if you want to help someone.) Also, guard against an obsession!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A partner or close friend might throw you a curveball. Be ready for something unexpected. Someone might be jealous or may misunderstand something — even a gesture of generosity or caring on your part. Fortunately, you make a great impression on everyone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your work routine will be interrupted. Equipment breakdowns, staff shortages, late deliveries — something will occur. Guard against being obsessed about something — perhaps meeting a deadline or going by the rule book? Stay flexible. In the passage of time, will this really matter? Keep things in perspective.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Parents should be extra-vigilant about their kids because this is an accident-prone day for children. Furthermore, information about social outings, your kids or sporting events might be confusing or misleading. Don’t get your belly in a rash.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your home routine will be interrupted. Small appliances might break down or something could surprise you. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. Stay cool. Confusion about money and possessions is likely. Get all your facts before you react or decide to take action.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Charlie Sheen (1965) shares your birthday. You’re clever, thoughtful, independent and determined. You appear to be conciliatory and affable to be effective. It’s time to build foundations in your life both externally and internally. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise will be important. (Explore martial arts or yoga.) Stay grounded and levelheaded.

De Havilland calls for national water bomber fleet as it scrambles to meet demand

Christopher Reynolds, The Canadian Press 7 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 1:49 PM CDT

MONTREAL - On July 13, a pair of Canadair water bombers touched down on the Seine River, skimming along its surface to refill their water tanks as they battled a wildfire south of Paris.

The "super scoopers," with their signature ketchup-red wing tips on a mustard-yellow body, sucked up 6,000-plus litres from France’s most famous waterway in one go as part of a fight against the flames then rampaging across Europe.

The event in north-central France underscored how wildfires are ranging even farther from their traditional grounds and fuelling an urgent need for water bombers to fend off climate disasters.

The iconic Canadair turboprops serve as the only amphibious firefighting aircraft currently in production built from the outset for that purpose, rather than being retrofitted to douse flames.

Consumer apprehension grows as US retailers adopt AI-assisted pricing tools

Dee-ann Durbin And Anne D'innocenzio, The Associated Press 7 minute read Updated: 6:00 PM CDT

U.S. consumers aren't just frustrated with high prices. They're angry and confused about the increasingly high-tech ways that restaurant chains and major retailers are setting those prices.

Digital price tags are rapidly replacing paper ones in grocery aisles. Artificial intelligence tools help businesses decide what to charge by predicting how customers might respond. Terms like “dynamic pricing” and “surveillance pricing” are stirring anxiety on social media, where users wonder if different people are getting different prices for the same product.

Americans have grown accustomed to changing prices when booking flights, hotel rooms and rides, but the prospect of everyday spending shaped by algorithms they don’t understand and personal data they may not realize they’re sharing has touched a nerve.

“There are major tensions happening right now between who’s really going to have the power with some of these algorithms and usage of bots and AI: the companies or the shopper,” said Katie Thomas, who leads an internal consumer behavior think tank at the management consulting firm Kearney.

Shilo resource centre on alert to help base families affected by deadly training incident in Alberta

Kelly-Anne Riess 2 minute read 5:38 PM CDT

Military officials were unable to say Monday whether any soldiers from Canadian Forces Base Shilo were among the four dead and 39 injured Saturday when a fast-moving grass fire engulfed a training area at a base in Alberta.

A spokesperson for the Department of National Defence in Ottawa told the Free Press Monday they did not know yet if anyone from Shilo was participating in the exercises at CFB Wainwright, about 200 kilometres southeast of Edmonton, when the fire tore through the area.

The Shilo Military Family Resource Centre, located about 30 kilometres Southeast of Brandon, was offering counselling and other assistance to families of soldiers stationed there.

“We understand that this tragedy may also be deeply felt by members and families here at CFB Shilo,” the MFRC said in a statement posted to Facebook. “Across the Canadian Armed Forces, our communities are connected through shared experiences, friendships, service and sacrifice.”
