MOON ALERT: After 3 a.m. there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Cancer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Tread carefully when talking to family members, especially female relatives, as well as partners, spouses and close friends, because confusion is rampant. It’s easy to misunderstand someone. It’s also easy to innocently mislead people. Yes, it’s that kind of day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

When talking to others about work, health or a pet, be extra-clear in your communications, because Neptune can create confusion in conversations. Family discussions, especially about home repairs, might take place. Keep things clear!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day to make financial decisions because the moon is in your money house, and it is at odds with both Venus and Neptune. If you feel tempted to buy something luxurious, beautiful or artistic — clothing, jewelry or art objects — think twice! Wait until tomorrow.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

If you’re talking to parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs or the police, take extra care to clarify what you mean. Furthermore, make sure you know what they require of you or what they are saying. This is because confusion and misinterpretations are likely — especially with authority figures.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a tricky day because the sun, Jupiter and chatty Mercury are all in your sign, which means you’re eager to communicate with others. However, something going on behind the scenes, and possibly something you’re not aware of, could create misunderstandings. Be careful about what you say.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because there’s a strong possibility for confusion about financial transactions and discussions about money and shared property, you might be wise to delay these exchanges until tomorrow. You can’t believe everything you hear because you might also misinterpret something.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You love beautiful things and harmonious relationships. These are good reasons to be careful when shopping, because you might go overboard buying something you will later regret. Likewise, discussions with authority figures and friends might be confusing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t overreact if you think you’re dealing with a passive-aggressive situation with someone. Confused communications are happening everywhere. For the most part, it may be innocent enough due to misinformation or scant details. Stay cool.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Discussions with friends, groups or kids might require money, funding or use of someone else’s property. If so, be careful to get permission and ensure no assumptions are made. It’s easy to be confused. This could lead to a problem you don’t want. Make sure everyone is on the same page.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Discussions with parents, bosses and authority figures might be strained. This could be because of confusion with a family member, spouse or partner. Someone might make assumptions that are wrong; or they might misunderstand someone else? Be clear in all your communications.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid controversial subjects, because misunderstandings could get people riled up when there’s no need for this. The problem is there’s a strong potential for confusion that is prevalent everywhere. Pull in your reins and tread carefully. Stay on good terms with others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be very clear talking to your kids. Likewise, romantic partners should be clear with each other to avoid misunderstandings that create hurt feelings and disappointment. Also be clear about financial matters. If shopping, get a receipt and think twice before you spend your hard-earned money.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Singer, actor Whitney Houston (1963-2012) shares your birthday. You are positive, upbeat and inspirational! You are also perceptive, talented and helpful. Take time to wrap things up this year. Take inventory of your life. Let go of people, places and things from the past that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Commune with nature. Focus on being compassionate.

50 years of rare tall grass prairie celebrated

Aaron Epp 4 minute read Yesterday at 7:11 PM CDT

Kristin Bestvater is always glad when she heads to Winnipeg’s St. James neighbourhood and visits the Living Prairie Museum.

“It’s beautiful,” Bestvater said of the 13-hectare site, which is one of the last remaining tall grass prairies in North America. “I don’t know how many other cities would have something like this.”

The Island Lakes resident and her nine-year-old son were among the hundreds of people who gathered at the museum on Saturday to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Designated a park in 1974, it officially became the Living Prairie Museum in 1976 with the opening of an interpretive centre which houses a gallery of exhibits, a gift shop and an observation deck.

The view from here: Phyllis Green. Boob Tree, 1975

Staycation: The Art of Being Here feautres more than 100 Manitoba-related artworks from the Winnipeg Art Gallery-Qaumajuq collection, spanning the past 50 years. These pieces reveal how the places around us are layered with memory, story and lived experience. Over the coming weeks, the Free Press will spotlight works from this eclectic exhibition, each one offering a new way of seeing home. Experience it in person and enjoy some staycation time at the gallery, on view until December.

The year 1975 was designated International Women’s Year by the United Nations, and in celebration, the WAG staged the show Images of Women, which explored how women had historically been depicted, an impressive selection but by mostly male artists. Amid pushback from the community, Sharron Zenith Corne and Marian Yeo organized a second exhibition, Woman as Viewer, which challenged those portrayals by only featuring works by women. It was called the first Canadian exhibition of feminist art. American artist Phyllis Green’s Boob Tree, a four-foot-tall crochet sculpture of a cluster of breasts, adorned the exhibit posters, which were so popular they were snatched by passersby! The sculpture is playful and unsettling, re-appropriating the objectification of women’s bodies.

A measure of hope a decade after senseless death, injustice

Niigaan Sinclair 5 minute read Friday, Aug. 7, 2026

I’m a few hundred kilometres from the farm near Biggar, Sask. — the place where 22-year old Colten Boushie from Cree Red Pheasant First Nation was shot and killed by farmer Gerald Stanley precisely 10 years ago.

“You need to remind people about the 10-year anniversary,” a nearby, rural school principal tells me at the education conference I just finished speaking at.

“That death is a wound that continues to bleed in all of us,” a principal from Regina adds. “I hear about it from our students all the time.”

On Aug. 9, 2016, Boushie’s death entered the Canadian consciousness, representing what then-Saskatoon mayor Charlie Clark declared “a defining moment for this community and this country.”

New lab a win for Winnipeg’s long game

Editorial 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

It would be easy to overlook the announcement this week that the federal government was green-lighting a quarter-billion-dollar expansion of the National Microbiology Laboratory’s Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health on Arlington Street.

Easy to overlook, in part, because it will take a decade to build the new 140,000-square-foot laboratory specializing in medical countermeasures.

But make no mistake, this latest investment from Ottawa galvanizes Winnipeg’s reputation as a global leader in the research of the world’s most infectious diseases. It also confirms that a wager made by Manitoba political leaders nearly 40 years ago is paying off in spades.

The existing NML was, to be frank, hastily conceived compensation for one of the most egregious examples of political pork-barrelling ever seen in Canada.

Champion curler Meleschuk never lost his passion for the game

Joshua Frey-Sam 9 minute read Yesterday at 3:00 AM CDT

At the height of his curling career, Orest Meleschuk balanced ferocity and finesse like almost no one else.

The Winnipeg product was a fierce competitor skilful enough to thread a rock through a window and find the button.

Known as “The Big O,” he curled competitively for over six decades, finding success at the local, provincial, national and global level, and his longevity on the pebble was notable before lengthy careers became the norm.

Meleschuk is still tied with his good friend John Usackis for the most appearances in the Manitoba men’s provincial playdowns, at 30.
