MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or important decisions for the rest of the day after 4:30 p.m. The moon is in Sagittarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a wonderful day to expand your world by learning something exciting that broadens your view of life. You might enjoy a vacation or even feel like you’re on holiday. Activities with children, sporting events and the arts will delight.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Financial discussions can go well with the exception of agreeing to anything important during the moon alert (see above). You might be generous to a family member. Help and resources from a partner or a third-party could benefit home and family.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Enjoy shmoozing. Make a date with your main squeeze. Time spent with partners, spouses and close friends will be gratifying. You’ll welcome an opportunity to help others if you can. You might teach, share knowledge or encourage someone.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your efforts at work or with your health or a pet will be enormously rewarding. The rewards might even be monetary. In any case, you will feel that what you’re doing is meaningful, especially because it might benefit others as well as yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a playful day. Accept invitations to socialize with others. Enjoy good times with kids, as well as sporting events and a chance to appreciate the arts or express your own creative talents. Romance is also blessed. You’re grateful to be who you are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Enjoy relaxing at home or spending time with family members, especially females. It’s easy to be generous to relatives, which is an excellent idea as you will get back from others exactly what you give. (Oh yes: what goes around, comes around.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will likely attract happy and positive people to you, which is why you’ll enjoy talking to others. This is because you have a real sense of belonging and a sense of oneness with others. You might even feel by helping someone else, you’re helping yourself. (And you are.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You can reap financial benefits perhaps with moneymaking ideas or by exploring a decision to change jobs or create a little side hustle. You might also buy something for yourself that pleases you. If spending, please be aware of the restrictions of the moon alert. (See above.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The moon is in your sign dancing with lucky Jupiter, which encourages a pleasant sense of well-being. This is why it’s easy for you to feel warm and friendly to the people around you. You’re also willing to offer support — emotional or physical — to anyone who needs it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might feel contented more than usual, which is pleasant and reassuring. One aspect of this reassurance is you see physical, financial and emotional support is forthcoming, which is a comfort. Discussions with younger, creative people will interest you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Friendships mean a lot to you and you can have a wonderful interaction with a friend or a group. You might even be involved with members of the general public. This is a good day to share your hopes and dreams for the future with someone as this will be mutually beneficial.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You make an excellent impression on everyone. In fact, people see you as successful, even affluent (even if you don’t think so). Work-related travel might arise. Certainly, relations with co-workers and health-related issues will be reassuring and uplifting.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Dominic West (1969) shares your birthday. You’re orderly, organized, resolute and independent. You’re also intelligent, sociable and connected to those close to you. This year you will reap the rewards for all your hard work. Expect power and leadership roles. It’s a time of major decisions. Promotions, awards, kudos and acknowledgment will be yours.

Chief medical officer quits, cites work environment ‘challenges’

Chris Kitching 6 minute read Yesterday at 5:47 PM CDT

Manitoba’s provincial chief medical officer is resigning from his position at Shared Health, citing the role’s demands and work environment challenges in an email viewed by the Free Press.

Dr. José François, who’s held the executive position since April 2024, sent an email to provincial medical specialty leads that said his final day will be Jan. 17, 2027, after he submitted his resignation Wednesday. Several other senior leaders have departed the provincial health authority in recent months.

“Serving in this role has been a privilege,” François, a longtime family physician from Ste. Anne, wrote in the email.

He said his “greatest pleasure” was working alongside and supporting an “exceptional group” of provincial medical specialty leads and chief medical officers.

Outbreak should never have happened

Editorial 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

The headline offered a vague sense that something had been accomplished, but it most certainly did not describe anything worth celebrating:

“Manitoba declares measles outbreak over.”

The news item in the Oct. 17 Free Press noted provincial public health officials had confirmed Manitoba’s last laboratory-confirmed case of measles was identified in August, and that the absence of any new cases since had allowed for the aforementioned declaration.

The end of the outbreak — which began in February 2025 and included a significant stretch this year during which Manitoba experienced more measles cases than any other province — is certainly worth noting. But it bears reminding that the real story here is that this province, and others across Canada, experienced a resurgence of this highly communicable but successfully eradicated disease in the first place.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a great day to make art, which is good news for your sign as so many of you are artisans. (You can do anything with your hands, even without training.) Enjoy time alone and give yourself the luxury of doing what you want to do.
