ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day to make plans about your domestic needs as well as social occasions, vacations and matters related to kids. You can accomplish a lot at work because you have the mental energy to get things done. This is a work-hard/party-hard day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You’ve been focused on home, family and real estate, but now it’s the perfect day to goof off and have fun. Sports, fun outings, playful activities with kids and romance are beautifully favoured. Some of you might be involved in a work-related flirtation or budding love affair.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

This is a fast-paced week. You might need a breather. Put yourself first. Set aside some time to relax and put things in perspective. However, romance-related discussions and flirtations will take place for many of you. It’s a great day to shmooz.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

With Mars still in your sign, you have lots of energy and drive. Furthermore, Mercury in your money house could trigger moneymaking ideas or attractive purchases, especially beautiful things such as clothing, jewelry and art.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a marvellous day to give a lecture, talk or shmooz with others because Mercury is in your sign dancing with fair Venus, which is sweetens your words and makes you entertaining, charming and diplomatic. Keep an eye on your money and possessions and be alert for something unexpected.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a restless day for you. Nevertheless, your ruler Mercury is dancing beautifully with fair Venus and the moon in your sign is energized by Mars. Having said this, be on the lookout for surprise dealings with authority figures — bosses, parents, teachers, VIPs and the police.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is an excellent day to make choices, especially about your romantic life. You might hang out with younger people. It’s certainly a popular day for you. You’re also ambitious to achieve something. (Good day to shop for wardrobe treasures.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You continue to make a great impression on everyone this week because the sun, Mercury and Jupiter are all at the top of your chart. Quite likely, people will ask for your advice or assistance with something. Interactions with groups and friends will be energized — perhaps competitive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re high-viz and people can see you mean business. In fact, this puts you in a good position to direct the affairs of others and make decisions. It’s also a great day to study, make travel plans and explore avenues in publishing, the media, medicine or the law.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Do something different because you feel the need for adventure. Shake things up a little. Travel plans will appeal. In fact, a lively discussion with a friend, spouse or partner might generate adventurous ideas. You might raise money or get a loan.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Enjoy conversations with members of the general public as well as spouses, partners and close friends. Travel plans and political ideas might appeal. Banking and shared property could yield unusual ideas or surprises. Remember to get more rest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be accommodating with others because they will be grateful. It’s a great day to socialize. Flirtations will appeal. In fact, new love or discussions about romance are highly likely. Something unexpected might interrupt your home routine.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor John Slattery (1962) shares your birthday. You’re original, practical and innovative. You have revolutionary ideas about society and you’re fuelled by your desire to benefit others. This is a year of work and construction. You will build foundations externally and internally. Take charge of your health. Simplicity is key. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Unsafe conditions force Sea Bears, Honey Badgers into winner-take-all CEBL final in Winnipeg Saturday

Joshua Frey-Sam 4 minute read Updated: 11:29 AM CDT

BRAMPTON — The Canadian Elite Basketball League’s new Finals format lasted one minute and 46 seconds.

And it’s possible even that was too long.

What was supposed to be a historic best-of-three series between the Winnipeg Sea Bears and the Brampton Honey Badgers will now return to the league’s previous format of a single-game elimination. Wednesday’s Game 1 at the CAA Centre in Southern Ontario was cancelled shortly after tip-off due to condensation on the court, which made the playing surface unsafe for competition.

The championship will flip to the Manitoba capital for a single, winner-take-all contest at Canada Life Centre on Saturday (2:30 p.m.).

Rainbow Stage star relates to Elle Woods’ perseverance

Ben Waldman 4 minute read 5:00 AM CDT

Nearly 9,000 aspiring barristers and solicitors cross their fingers and send in their LSAT scores to Harvard University each year, but less than 10 per cent of applicants wind up on campus in Cambridge, Mass.

In Legally Blonde, the musical opening tonight at Rainbow Stage, Elle Woods (Claire Mac Master) defies the undercutting judgment of her blue-blood boyfriend Warner (Duncan Cox) to earn a spot in the Ivy League, leaving her doubters aghast and crimson-faced.

“What?” asked Elle — played by Reese Witherspoon in the 2001 film version — “Like it’s hard?”

The New York-born Mac Master never had any aspirations to pursue a law career, but can relate to her character’s plucky self-determination based on her experience at Toronto Metropolitan University’s undergraduate acting program, which accepts 25 applicants each year from an international pool of hundreds.

A Winnipeg home with a mountain view? You won’t find a real one, but AI-generated visual suggests otherwise

Gabrielle Piché 6 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2026

Manitoba’s mountain range peeked out behind a Scotia Street home.

At least, it did in a photo attached to a real estate listing for 232 Scotia St. in Winnipeg’s (flat) Seven Oaks neighbourhood.

Another picture — now removed — showed a cartoon cityscape viewable from the bungalow’s front porch.

Both photos had tags in their bottom left corners: “AI-generated content.”

Signs the Carney approach is working

Editorial 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:00 AM CDT

It was, if nothing else, a glowing review in trying times.

Matt Winkler, the editor in chief emeritus of Bloomberg News, spoke last week on Bloomberg Business News Daily about a recent Bloomberg analysis of the performance of the Canadian economy, and this country as a target for investment

“This is one of the greatest periods for overseas investment in Canada that we’ve seen in the century, and it may be unprecedented, because we have to wait for the rest of the year. … Money is pouring into Canada like we have not seen from everywhere. Stocks and bonds are the obvious beneficiaries,” Winkler said. He argued that Canada is both liked and seen as reasonable.

“The point is… Canada since Mark Carney became prime minister in 2025, has outperformed everyone in America and also the Eurozone and anywhere in the world. The 10 largest stock markets in the world, Canada appreciated the most, more than 40 per cent. … Its bond market is also doing great, partially because the inflation rate in Canada, unlike the Eurozone or America, is actually trending lower, and is outperforming both the Eurozone and the U.S.”
