ARIES (March 21-April 19)

It’s tricky because the moon is in your financial house, which might encourage you to negotiate financial matters and discuss shared property, banking details, insurance issues and inheritances. However, there’s a moon alert. Postpone these discussions.

Art Garunkel’s second fiddle Paul Simon turns 85 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others because the moon is opposite your sign. (In two weeks, people will have to go more than halfway dealing with you, when the moon is in your sign.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You might want to get better organized. (Co-workers will be helpful.) However, there’s a moon alert in effect most of this day, which could create shortages, delays and lower energy. Just cover the basics.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Most of this day is a moon alert, which means you have fantastic opportunities to express your creative talents. Enjoy hobbies, arts and crafts. Enjoy socializing, especially sporting events and fun activities with kids.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The sun is urging you to get out, shmooz, travel and learn something. Right now however, you might want to kick back and relax at home. Take it easy. It’s a poor day to shop or make important decisions. (Check moon alert above.)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Indulge your eagerness to talk to others and share your ideas. People will enjoy talking to you because you know a lot — especially trivia. That’s what makes you so interesting. (Especially when you do dialects.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a strong time because the sun in your sign is recharging your batteries for the rest of year. Three planets are in your money house, making you think about buying beautiful things. Don’t do it now. Check the moon alert. Just make a list.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Three planets are in your sign, which is a powerhouse. Plus, Mars is high in your chart arousing your ambition. Basically, this is the kind of day where you can go after what you want. But not right now. There’s a moon alert in effect all day. (Just do your homework and fill your databank.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The day is a mixed bag. In one way, you feel sociable because you’re popular right now. People want to talk to you, and your involvement in groups and organizations is stronger than usual. However, another part of you wants to be low-key and keep things quiet. That might be the wise choice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might have a heart-to-heart discussion with a female acquaintance or member of a group. (Keep in mind that you look good to everyone right now because the sun is casting you in a flattering spotlight.) Nevertheless, there’s a moon alert all day. Keep things light.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

People notice you. In fact, some people will know personal details about your private life. That’s just the way it is. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. As there’s a moon alert all day, restrict spending to food and gas.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Avoid controversial subjects because they will amount to nothing due to the moon alert taking place all day. It will all be just be a lot of hot air. However, you can make progress at work or with any task you set for yourself. Get busy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Singer, songwriter Paul Simon (1941) shares your birthday. You’re focused and direct. You’re also courageous and resourceful. This is a year of service (perhaps to family). Take care of yourself so you can be a resource for those who turn to you for guidance, comfort and courage. It might also be time for a personal makeover.

Author Emily St. John Mandel’s Exit Party a story of hope in dark times

Ben Sigurdson 6 minute read 4:00 AM CDT

If Emily St. John Mandel’s new novel Exit Party is in any way prophetic, Americans should be worried.

The B.C.-born, New York-based author’s bestselling fourth novel, 2014’s Station Eleven, chronicled a performing troupe in a post-pandemic world. The novel experienced a second wave of popularity when the COVID-19 pandemic took hold, and when HBO’s Station Eleven miniseries premièred in late 2021.

Mandel launches Exit Party, her seventh novel, at McNally Robinson Booksellers’ Grant Park location tonight, where she’ll be joined in conversation by Winnipeg novelist Joan Thomas.

Published in September by HarperCollins, Exit Party sees Mandel once again working in the near future, in this case in a novel that features two timelines — one (dubbed the A-side in the novel) where the U.S. has fractured into a number of small countries following a civil war, and another (the B-side) where a singular, autocratic surveillance state has tightened its grip over its citizens.

Possibility of Hellebuyck’s return grows each day as pay slips away

Possibility of Hellebuyck’s return grows each day as pay slips away

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026

CHICAGO — Buckle up, folks. The next plot twist in the ongoing soap opera between the Winnipeg Jets and Connor Hellebuyck could be a doozy.

Let’s start with a few cold, hard facts. Or, if you prefer: “Previously on As the Hellebuyck Turns…”

The franchise goaltender, with five years remaining on a contract extension he willingly signed with Winnipeg in 2023, refused to report to training camp last month as he awaits word on a trade request made at the end of last season. He’s the first NHL player in more than a quarter century to essentially go on strike.

The Jets are under no obligation to move Hellebuyck, but have indicated they would try to accommodate him if another team meets their needs. General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff has made it clear he needs to “get this right” and wants a haul for a three-time Vezina Trophy winner and one-time Hart Trophy recipient.

Convicted harasser accused of targeting old, new victims, including judge

Dean Pritchard 6 minute read Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026

Agnieszka Ciochon-Newton, who was sentenced to six years in prison for mercilessly harassing two people she believed had wronged her, as well as other crimes, wasted no time when her sentence ended to launch fresh attacks on victims new and old, including the judge who convicted her, court documents allege.

The 58-year-old former nurse was arrested last month after Winnipeg police “became aware that (Ciochon-Newton) was engaging in aggressive and harassing behaviours again, starting almost immediately upon the expiry of her parole conditions” on May 13, Det. Sgt Kylie Case wrote in search warrant documents obtained by the Free Press.

Ciochon-Newton is charged with seven counts of criminal harassment, two counts of uttering threats and one count each of fraud, breaking and entering, attempting to obstruct justice, intimidation of a justice official, mischief and defamatory libel. She remains in custody.

Search warrant documents say provincial court Judge Keith Eyrikson learned in late August that Ciochon-Newton had emailed CBC Manitoba days earlier and threatened him.

No shame in family’s help with young one

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My husband hates it that I didn’t want to go back to work right after having our child. I still don’t want to farm out our sweet breastfeeding baby girl to a babysitter!

I’ve been staying home to be with her, but I just found two hidden unpaid utility bills in my husband’s truck, that could get us in very big trouble. No wonder my guy doesn’t like me going into his truck alone these days.

Now I don’t know what to do. Should I talk to my parents about borrowing money from them before we get our utilities cut off? My husband says that will make him “look bad,” like he couldn’t take care of me and our child. Well, he can’t!

Jets salvage point in Chicago

Mike McIntyre 7 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 6:16 AM CDT

CHICAGO — Ever have one of those days where you should have just stayed in bed? That pretty much sums up how Thursday went for the Winnipeg Jets here in the Windy City.

It began with the bad news that top defenceman Josh Morrissey’s wrist issue is more serious than feared, and he likely won’t be back in the lineup any time soon. Then, veteran forward Vlad Namestnikov, coming off his best game of the young season, crashed into the boards at the end of morning skate, suffering an upper-body injury that sent him to the sidelines.

Off to the game itself, which began with Dylan DeMelo hitting the post on the first shift, a parade of Winnipeg penalties helping the home team build a healthy early lead and, last and certainly least, an eventual 4-3 overtime loss at United Center.

It actually could have been worse.
