MOON ALERT: Avoid shopping or important decisions after 7:30 p.m. today. After that, the moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a lovely day to entertain at home. Because there are strong romantic vibes in the air, it’s an excellent day to entertain romantic interests at home. Time for that special dinner? With those oversized Pinot Noir glasses? You love to set the scene.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You are a tactile, sensuous sign, which is one reason you’ll welcome the delicious, romantic vibes in the air today. However, this same influence will also enhance your ability to write, edit and speak with eloquence. Enjoy the beauty of your surroundings.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You can attract money to you today, which is why you will be tempted to spend money on beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. Someone in authority might gift you something. Meanwhile, a work-related romance will begin for many. (Be still my beating heart.)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This is a lovely day for you because fair Venus is in your sign dancing with Neptune, which promotes creative activity, compassion and feelings of tenderness for others. The relationships you enjoy today will feel spiritual and a bit illusory. You might meet your “soulmate.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are enjoying engaging with friends and groups at this time. Today however, you feel private. You’re happy to be at home. Personally, you might have a crush on someone. You might even entertain a romantic interest at home. Whatever the case, your world is special today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today warm bonds will deepen with others — be they friends, members of groups or a romantic interest. In fact, for some of you, a friend could become a lover, or a platonic relationship might suggest something more cosy. Existing partnerships can deepen.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

More than any other sign, partnerships and close friendships are important to you because you like to have someone else sitting on the other end of your teeter-totter. You enjoy the company of others. Today a romance with a boss or someone in a position of authority might blossom. (You might attract money.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Romance with someone who is different or from another culture might begin for some of you today. Or if this flirtation has been smouldering behind the scenes, things might deepen in a more obvious way? Explore opportunities to express your creative talents. Enjoy playful times with children.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Partnerships and close friendships are your strong focus now because the sun is opposite your sign. However today, you want to hide and seek privacy. You might enjoy solitude. You might also enjoy a secret, romantic tryst with someone special.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a wonderful day for romance, flirtations and unusual connections that stir your heart. This might occur with a friend, a partner or your spouse. Something will make you appreciate someone else in a special way, which is really a blessing for you both.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Romance is in the air today! For your sign, this seems to be obvious for some reason. Perhaps you will announce a new relationship to your friends or the world? Or perhaps a secret relationship is suddenly made public? Possibly, others are talking about your love life? Be aware of this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Toujours l’amour! Romance definitely blossoms today, which means some of you might strike up a flirtation with someone. Or you might encounter new love? Or an existing love might be ignited in a fresh way! You will also feel tender sympathy towards children. Meanwhile, you’ll enjoy the arts.

Grieving child builds backyard rocket ship

Harriet Zaidman 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

I Built a Rocket Ship (Kids Can Press, 32 pages, hardcover, $22) by Winnipegger Anna Lazowski is a tender story for children ages 4-8 about a little girl trying to make sense of her mother’s death. The child engages in conversation with her late mom, agreeing and disagreeing about things said as she carries objects (and of course, the cat) to the backyard. There, she is building a rocket ship she will pilot into the skies to find her mom again.

Jennica Lounsbury’s varied perspectives show the range of emotions the little girl experiences.

Just like children who are listening to adults reading the book, all the animal babies are being tucked into their nests and burrows by loving parents: “Thump and scamper,/nimble clover./ Soon it’s time to rest. Baby loon/ nestles in/as Papa floats along.”

New Jets show promise despite loss to experienced Oilers

Mike McIntyre 8 minute read Updated: 9:34 AM CDT

Preseason hockey games are always more about the process than the result, and that’s especially true when the opposing rosters appear to be a major mismatch on paper.

So a 5-2 loss by an inexperienced group of Winnipeg Jets skaters against a star-studded Edmonton Oilers squad on Saturday night in the Alberta capital was neither surprising nor alarming.

There was, however, plenty to like from the visitors’ perspective despite the outcome.

Let’s break it down.

Hellebuyck standoff caused by… Nathan MacKinnon?

Mike McIntyre 6 minute read Friday, Sep. 18, 2026

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.

Cabernet Sauvignon star of wine festival

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.
