MOON ALERT: Caution. Avoid shopping (except for food and gas) and important decisions all day until 7:30 p.m. After that, the moon moves from Leo into Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

A playful day. Enjoy socializing with others, especially romantic outings, sports and fun activities with children. At a deeper level, you feel you’re seeing the world through new eyes — which in fact, you are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Home, family and your private life are your priorities. Restrict spending to food and gas because of the moon alert (see above). Be grateful for opportunities to improve family relations, because this is possible for you this year. Bonus.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Be careful because most of this day is a moon alert, which means avoiding important decisions and restricting spending to food and gas. However, you’re full of ideas. You want to impulsively go off in a number of directions. Be careful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

This day’s emphasis is on money, shopping, earnings and cash flow. However, most of the day is a moon alert, which means restricting your spending to food and gas. This will require mindfulness and some self-discipline. (And you hate to make a purchase you regret.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

The moon alert is in your sign for most of this day. This means it’s a marvellous day to socialize. It’s also a wonderful day to appreciate the arts, create something or make art. However, avoid important decisions and restrict spending (except for food and gas).

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a popular time for you, especially because friends from the past are back in your world again. Enjoy schmoozing with others because the day has an easy-going, unpredictable quality to it. Don’t volunteer for anything. Don’t agree to anything important.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a great day to schmooze with others and enjoy the company of friends as well as groups and organizations. However, avoid important commitments. Don’t volunteer for anything. Get your information, but wait until the moon alert is over.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You’re high-viz, which means people notice you more than usual. Be aware of this in case you have to do some damage control. There’s a moon alert in effect for most of this day. Agree to nothing important. Don’t initiate something new. Restrict spending to food and gas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be patient with partners and close friends because Mars is opposite your sign. You’re keen for a bit of adventure, which is why you want to explore new avenues, meet new faces and see new places. Enjoy this day but restrict spending to food and gas until the moon alert is over.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be co-operative with others. (Take a nap if you can because you need more sleep right now.) Be aware of the fact the moon alert is taking place in one of your money houses. Restrict spending to food and gas. Avoid financial decisions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others, which is not a big deal. It simply means you have to be co-operative and a bit conciliatory. Nevertheless, don’t volunteer for anything and don’t make important decisions. Check moon alert above.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a playful time for you; and indeed, this is a lovely day to socialize. Note: shortages might arise in your job. This is a poor day for important decisions related to your job or your health. Be aware of the moon alert.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor-writer Will Ferrell (1967) shares your birthday. You are idealistic, emotional and intuitive. You’re also perceptive and analytical. This is a year of service for you, perhaps service to family. Take care of yourself so you can be a resource to those who turn to you for guidance, comfort and courage. Explore the arts. Personalize your home.

Manitoba Hydro’s energy plan set to be scrutinized

Chris Kitching 6 minute read 6:00 AM CDT

Manitoba Hydro is set to face questions and concerns over its plan for the province’s future energy needs, which includes proposed natural gas-powered turbines in Brandon and Indigenous-owned wind farms.

The Public Utilities Board, an arm’s-length regulator, will begin six weeks of hearings Monday into the 10-year blueprint and potential ways to satisfy electricity demand, while Hydro grapples with a projected energy shortfall, debt of $25 billion and aging infrastructure.

“The development plan reflects the best available information and analysis of how Manitoba Hydro can meet growing energy demand, while balancing factors we know are important to our customers, including cost, reliability and the environment,” Peter Chura, a spokesman for the Crown corporation, told the Free Press.

“We are confident in our analysis and that we’ve appropriately balanced reliability, affordability, safety and risk.”

Together Project helps newcomers feel at home

When refugee families first arrive in Winnipeg they are plunged into an alien culture.

Often fleeing dangerous circumstances, discrimination or war, displaced families are forced to navigate bewildering societal norms and cultural expectations in an unfamiliar environment.

It can often feel utterly overwhelming.

And while government settlement agencies are an invaluable foundational resource, nothing can replace human connection and peer-to-peer guidance.

City has plenty of frozen dessert oases to discover

AV Kitching 6 minute read Updated: 11:23 AM CDT

No matter the weather, ice cream is always a welcome addition to the day.

It’s a rite of passage as, at the slightest hint of a thaw, Winnipeggers descend in droves, heeding the siren call of institutions such as Sargent Sundae (2053 Portage Ave.) and Bridge Drive-In (766 Jubilee Ave. and 1680 Main St.) that slide open their shutters any time from late March to early April, ready to welcome dedicated connoisseurs seeking their first taste of the season.

We’re blessed with an abundance of ice cream joints in this city, ranging from brick-and-mortar storefronts to mobile carts and pop-up stalls, all serving generous scoops of childhood faves alongside rather more innovative flavours.

With so many dairy bars and frozen dessert parlours dotted around, there’s no need to choose just one spot to satisfy your sweet tooth.

What are we teaching children at the rodeo?

Danae Tonge 5 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

Every summer in Manitoba, rodeo season brings thousands of children to local rodeos and the Manitoba Stampede. They arrive with cowboy hats and cotton candy in hand, excitement in their eyes.

Yet, as a mother who works in education, I can’t help but wonder: what are we teaching them in those stands?

Inside classrooms, we teach children that kindness matters. We encourage empathy, discourage bullying and ask students to consider how their actions affect others. Students are taught that animals experience fear, pain and distress, just like us. Yet when school ends, we celebrate events built around chasing, restraining, roping and riding animals for entertainment.

This contradiction is difficult to ignore.

An eroding Winnipeg neighbourhood looks to new foundations

Ian Bickis, The Canadian Press 6 minute read Updated: 10:45 AM CDT

WINNIPEG - The lot Jesse Bettcher lives on in Winnipeg's North End used to be a pile of burnt rubble. Same with the one next door. And the one across the street.

But he's now the proud owner of a two-storey house with blue-grey siding and white trim, so new the orange construction fencing is still out front.

It's a dream home for Bettcher, and the latest hope for a city seeking to knock down, clean up and revitalize neighbourhoods that have seen hundreds of homes left vacant, leading to safety hazards and worries about the future.

He bought the house as part of a pilot project aimed at creating affordable home ownership. It let him and his family move out of a rental that he said was falling apart.
