MOON ALERT: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions. The moon is in Libra.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

The moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. In other words, be accommodating and co-operative. (It’s not a big deal.) Having said that, a partner or close friend might be critical or difficult.

Ironweed star Meryl Streep is 77 today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

The good news is you have the determination to be productive. In fact, everything you do will be more powerful and intense. Late in the day, don’t let criticism or comments from someone older discourage you. What do they know?

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Parents need to use a lighter touch dealing with their kids because you might be obsessed about something — or perhaps they are. Furthermore, it’s easy to feel critical, which will discourage them. Remember the advice of Johann Goethe: “Correction does much; but encouragement does more.”

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Family discussions will be emotional, perhaps because someone — and this someone could be you — is obsessed about something. This will exhaust you. Later in the day, difficulties with parents and authority figures might also discourage you. (Send out for dark chocolate.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The day has its challenges because discussions with others might not be easy. In fact, you might feel isolated or cut off — certainly misunderstood or ignored. Be careful you are not caught up in one-track thinking mode because it’s easy to do this. Don’t be discouraged by others — or the news.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Money issues and finances might be important to you. In fact, discussions about taxes, debt, credit, inheritances or shared property might absorb your thinking, which is why you might overwhelm someone else who is less interested. Take a deep breath and reorient yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

The moon is in your sign dancing with Pluto, which can intensify your emotions and make you obsessed about something. Or you might feel compelled to discuss something or act on certain feelings. Partners and close friends lack sympathy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The day has its challenges. Accept this right off the bat and move forward carefully item by item, step-by-step. Don’t expect fast results. Do what is right in front of you on your plate. Reduce expectations of yourself and others. Be proud of what you achieve.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might attract someone to you who seems to be a zealot. They’re so gung-ho about their ideas that they won’t let go. (Possibly, you are this person.) Relations with your kids and romantic partners might be stilted and strained. Channel your energy into work.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’re noticed. You might be keen about an idea and yet, you feel no one is listening. (There are none so deaf as those who are wearing headphones.) Be patient with family members. It’s easy to feel disappointed with someone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You want to save the world before bedtime. Perhaps you’re on your soapbox urging others to listen to your ideas because you feel it’s important to be heard. You might be right, but if you’re obsessed about something, people will turn away. (You know this.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Financial discussions might be discouraging. You might feel broke and no matter what happens, the light at the end of the tunnel looks like a train. Be reassured this is a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. Courage.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Meryl Streep (1949) shares your birthday. You seek an enduring, romantic partnership — a perfect lifestyle. Finding true love is of paramount importance. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy and outlook. Focus on business and personal relationships, and be with people who have your back. Be kind and helpful this year.

Vacant Bay store on road to redevelopment, St. Vital Centre owner says

Gabrielle Piche 6 minute read Yesterday at 5:29 PM CDT

Entertainment attractions are coming to fill the former Hudson’s Bay space in St. Vital Centre.

Montreal-based real estate firm Leyad, the south Winnipeg mall’s owner, says it is finalizing an agreement for the vacant property. Further details should appear in the next couple months, said president Henry Zavriyev.

“We’re looking at what other types of experiences we can bring to the mall that aren’t just typical retail,” he said during a visit to Winnipeg this week.

“We want to create an experience where you can just come to the mall, hang out here for hours, no matter if you’re a kid, an adult, a retiree.”

Long may you scamper, sweet little Jimothy

Jen Zoratti 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

We desperately needed a folk hero this summer, with its wildfires and storms and diarrhea lettuce. Someone to unite us, to inspire us, to get us through.

Enter Jimothy.

Jimothy is an off-kilter raccoon with an appropriately off-kilter name from Seattle who has gone viral for his short, round body — likely the result of a congenital condition called short spine syndrome.

I have seen various creative descriptions of Jimothy online: “a child’s rendering come to life,” or “a raccoon drawn from memory,” or not a raccoon but a “rcn,” owing to his truncated spine.

Nearly 250 people have moved out of Winnipeg encampments under the Manitoba government’s Your Way Home strategy, which is more than 70 per cent of the NDP’s goal for its first term in office.

Lights, sports and land: a wish list for West Broadway

Rebecca Chambers 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Mayor Scott Gillingham would like us to phone our MLA regarding safety concerns in West Broadway, because homelessness, housing and addictions are a provincial concern.

This explains a lot.

Previously, Gillingham’s over-reliance on policing as a solution to social ills has puzzled me, in an if-you-only-have-a-hammer-everything-looks-like-a-nail way. But since the mayor seems unaware of the ways his office could lessen the harms and promote social cohesion in West Broadway, I’d like to help him out.

First up, some low hanging fruit. The streetlights in West Broadway are spaced illogically far apart. My block has two streetlamps, both on the same side of the street. Once the sun goes down, there are portions of street that are completely black. I cannot see someone approaching, let alone recognize them or assess risk.

Animal rescue groups shaken by advocate’s death

Carol Sanders 4 minute read Yesterday at 5:40 PM CDT

A week after an animal rescue volunteer died doing what she loved at Sandy Bay First Nation, the charity she dedicated herself to has paused rescues as groups rally to prevent another mauling.

Winnipeg’s Amanda Nobiss, 37, was found dead July 17 after police were contacted by a friend trying to locate her. She often visited the community 180 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg to save animals.

Several “aggressive dogs” were found near where Nobiss’s body was located, Manitoba First Nation Police Service has said. It did not respond Friday when asked for an update on its investigation into her death.

“What happened is the most tragic, heartbreaking thing that could have possibly happened,” said Chelsea Kork, president of K9 Advocacy Manitoba, the charity Nobiss volunteered with.
