MOON ALERT: Avoid important decisions and shopping after 9:30 p.m. today. The moon is in Pisces.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Today it will please you to quietly do somebody a favour or work behind the scenes to benefit someone, especially a family member. Aries embodies the hero archetype, which is why you like to rescue and save people. And you’re good at it! (Many Aries are firefighters.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Some of you will be involved with a non-profit or charitable organization or group today because you want to do something to benefit others. Although you might think globally, you will prefer to act locally, especially to help neighbours, siblings and relatives.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Discussions with parents and bosses might give you the green light to do some serious spending. Something might encourage you to buy something extravagant that is a bit over-the-top for yourself or loved one. (We all need the boost of a treat now and then.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You are a caring, nurturing person and today you might have concerns about the welfare of someone who is far away or in another country. These feelings of sympathy might be prompted by the fact you’ve been more active with others recently.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be clear in situations regarding how to divide or share something, especially in respect to inheritances, shared property and insurance payouts. Today you might be tempted to give away the farm. Remember not to ignore your own self-interests.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Relations with partners and close friends are warm and easygoing today due to the fact there is a natural sense of mutual sympathy between people. This is because you have a pretty good idea of what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s wedgies. (That’s all it takes.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

If you can help a co-worker today, you will. On the other hand, someone might help you today. You might also be involved with a pet in an affectionate, special way. If dealing with health situations, be clear about what is happening. Double-check details.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today, romance is the stuff of movies. Some of you might experience love at first sight. All of you will feel a bit flirtatious and romantic with whatever is going on around you. You will also feel sympathetic to the needs of children. Great day to socialize!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

In your dealings with family members today, especially a female relative, you will be generous. However, you might also want to clarify things and hold people accountable. You might see ways to make improvements at home by using shared resources or shared property.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a lovely day to relate to others because you feel sociable, but you also feel confident about expressing your views, especially to partners and close friends. You might want to teach someone something or share important information. (You might feel competitive.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you see you have the financial resources to begin a project that interests you. You’re gung-ho about something. Perhaps it relates to improving your health or job, or it could be something to do with a pet?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the moon is in your sign dancing with fiery Mars, which makes you positive and confident. It makes you feel more courageous than usual, which is why you will take the initiative, especially in making emotional contact with others. Your energy level is high and you’re ready to start something new!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Cate Blanchett (1969) shares your birthday today. You are intelligent, street smart and imaginative. You like to put your own spin on things. This is a wonderful year as it’s a time of recognition and culmination. Expect a promotion, an award, kudos — some definite acknowledgement of your talents and efforts. Bravo!

Hellebuyck standoff caused by… Nathan MacKinnon?

Looking for someone to blame in the Connor Hellebuyck fiasco and cast as public enemy No. 1? How about long-time Winnipeg Jets nemesis Nathan MacKinnon?

Allow us to explain as we fire up the time machine and head back to February in Italy.

Oh, what could have been if MacKinnon had been able to score on what appeared to be an open net late in the third period of the men’s gold medal game with Hellebuyck down and seemingly out of position.

Instead, the star forward fired wide, keeping the score deadlocked at 1-1 as the clock ticked down on regulation.

Gillingham in lead with decided voters

Nicole Buffie 6 minute read Friday, Sep. 18, 2026

A cloud of uncertainty is hanging over Winnipeg as October’s municipal election nears.

Three months after a poll showed more than 40 per cent of Winnipeggers wanted to see someone other than current mayor Scott Gillingham elected, a new Abacus Data poll indicates more than half of Winnipeg voters are undecided heading into next month’s civic election.

Of decided voters, 55 per cent favour Gillingham compared to 23 per cent for former councillor and provincial cabinet minister Kevin Klein and 11 per cent for funeral director Mike Vogiatzakis.

Of all respondents, just over 50 per cent said they were unsure while 13 per cent said they will not vote.

Steinbach Credit Union member warns others after scammer steals $10K

Scott Billeck 5 minute read Friday, Sep. 18, 2026

A Winnipeg single mother whose bank account was drained of nearly $10,000 says Steinbach Credit Union needs to warn its members about what she believes is a broader security problem.

The woman, who is not being named to protect her identity, said a scammer gained access to her account earlier this week after calling SCU’s contact centre, claiming to be her and successfully completing the credit union’s authentication process.

She said she knows of at least six others who have experienced similar incidents in which callers impersonate SCU account holders and pass the authentication checks.

The woman discovered something was wrong when her minor son asked why money had been transferred out of an account they jointly hold.

Cabernet Sauvignon star of wine festival

Ben Sigurdson 5 minute read Yesterday at 3:00 AM CDT

The Winnipeg Wine Festival will celebrate the king of red wine grapes next weekend — the theme of this year’s festival, which takes place Sept. 25 and 26 at the RBC Convention Centre, is Cabernet Sauvignon.

Cab Sauv, as it’s also known, is the world’s most widely planted wine grape of any colour, first coming to prominence in the 1800s in France’s Bordeaux region, where the grape is still popular. Rather than single-variety wines, Bordeaux reds tend to be blends, with those coming from the left bank of the Gironde estuary being Cabernet-dominant, while right-bank wines are Merlot-dominant, with Cabernet Sauvignon playing a supporting role. Cabernet and Merlot work well together and many other countries have followed suit in blending the two.

A team at University of California Davis put Cabernet Sauvignon through a DNA test in 1996 and discovered its parent grapes are Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc — it’s likely that at some point the two varieties, planted next to each other in some vineyard, crossed and mutated and became the grape we know today. (Someone growing grapes in the 19th century must have had an inkling of what was up, as the grape has been called Cabernet Sauvignon since long before the DNA test.)

Flavour-wise, most Cabernet Sauvignon wines are big and bold, with a core of deep dark berry flavours, some graphite and spice notes and relatively bright acidity. It’s a grape that is well-suited to barrel aging, with most examples seeing at least some time in wood.

A Winnipeg lawyer has been disbarred after admitting to six counts of professional misconduct and two counts of providing incompetent service involving eight clients.

The career-ending decision marks the sixth time Gisele Champagne has been disciplined by the Law Society of Manitoba since she was called to the bar in 1992.

“Disbarment is the appropriate remedy when a lawyer has demonstrated a repeated pattern of conduct that violates professional standards,” a law society panel said in a written decision released Wednesday.

“A lawyer who has been unable to learn from past discipline proceedings to fulfill his or her obligation to provide ethical and high-quality legal services must at some point lose the privilege of practising law.”
