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

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Discussions with partners and close friends will intensify in the next few weeks and financial discussions will favour you. In fact, money might come your way. The new moon is perfect for making resolutions to improve your health.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Relations with those who are closest to you will improve in a warm and cosy way in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, work-related discussions will be effective and productive. Look for ways to express your creativity and to enjoy socializing with others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Opportunities to use your mind for solving puzzles, reading for pleasure or playing games that require mental agility will please you this month. Meanwhile, use the new moon to make one resolution about how to improve your home and family scene. Just one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Family discussions will be more important in the next few weeks along with home repairs. Romance and opportunities to socialize will mushroom! The new moon is the best day of the year to think how you can be clearer in your communications.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Redecorating and entertaining at home will appeal in the next few weeks; plus, you’ll want to get out and shmooz! Short trips and a chance to learn will appeal. Meanwhile, it’s the perfect day to make a resolution about improving your finances.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The only new moon in your sign all year is taking place. Therefore, take a realistic look in the mirror and ask yourself what you can do to improve the impression you make on your world. After all, appearances are everything. Ideas?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Mercury moves into your sign to stay for a few weeks helping you to put a great deal of yourself into whatever you say. Your mind will be active. You’ll be busy. You might travel. You have a podium. You will also shop for beautiful things in the next few weeks. (You have an excellent eye.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Fair Venus moves into your sign to stay for six weeks. (It will return again for the month of December.) This makes you charming, diplomatic and attractive to everyone. In fact, it’s an excellent window of time to buy wardrobe treasures for yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This new moon is the only one all year that takes place at the top of your chart. Therefore, this is the perfect time to think about your life direction in general. Are you headed where you want to go? Do you have a five-year plan? A two-year plan? What’s on the horizon?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your ability to have successful communications with parents, bosses, teachers and VIPs will improve in the next few weeks. This is excellent news because it means it’s time to make your pitch or ask for a promotion. Go after what you want! (You can’t win if you don’t buy a ticket.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Venus moves to the top of your chart to stay for six weeks creating favourable circumstances for your career and professional life. Authority figures will favour you because you look so attractive and capable! (A romance with a boss might begin.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The new moon is opposite your sign, which means it’s an excellent opportunity to think about how you can improve your closest relationships. Don’t try to reinvent the world. Rather, think of one simple thing you can do — perhaps daily — that might improve things.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Colin Firth (1960) shares your birthday. You are patient, orderly and practical. You make a realistic assessment of things in order to make improvements. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Focus on business and personal relationships and hang out with people who have your best interests at heart.

Wiseman leans on pro experience

Joshua Frey-Sam 6 minute read Yesterday at 8:47 PM CDT

Todd Wiseman knows what pressure feels like in a sporting arena.

The Port Moody, B.C. resident faced it every summer across an eight-year playing career as a defensive back in the Canadian Football League with the B.C. Lions, Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Wiseman, who switched from knocking down passes to knocking down birdies after the 1994 season, is feeling a different kind of weight this week in the Canadian senior men’s championship at Niakwa Country Club, but has managed it well through two rounds.

Wiseman turned in a rather clean three-under 69 on Wednesday, his two bogeys outweighed by five birdies, to grab a share of the lead in the 55-plus national event. Wiseman tied a single-round tournament low to share the 36-hole lead with Winnipegger David White and America’s top-ranked senior amateur Bryan Hoops.

EU envoy says a ‘unique’ new partnership with Canada forming ahead of Carney’s speech

Dylan Robertson, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 3:49 PM CDT

OTTAWA - The European Union's ambassador to Canada says the bloc is crafting a new partnership with Ottawa unlike anything that currently exists.

"What we have in mind is something different from what we have with other countries," Geneviève Tuts said in a Wednesday interview. "That will be something unique."

Prime Minister Mark Carney said last month he was pursuing even deeper ties with Europe after signing a defence-industrial pact in addition to the existing strategic partner agreement and a free-trade deal.

"This fall, we will begin discussions with the European Union — the world’s second-largest economy — to build a much stronger and deeper security and economic partnership," Carney said on Aug. 22.

‘Dynacare sucks’: premier muses about bringing lab services back into public system

Carol Sanders 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 7:45 PM CDT

Premier Wab Kinew says Manitoba may bring Dynacare’s diagnostic lab services back into the public system rather than continue to sign contracts with the for-profit company.

“Dynacare sucks. They’ve made an absolute mess of this situation,” the premier said Wednesday, the day the company’s 350 employees reported back to work after the labour board halted their strike after just one day.

Kinew first made the remark about Dynacare in a CBC radio interview Wednesday morning and added he is “not happy with them.”

Dynacare performs the majority of non-emergency blood and urine tests in the province.

Council to consider moving ahead with final phase of sewage plant upgrade before securing expected federal cash

Joyanne Pursaga 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 PM CDT

City council will consider approving $115 million toward the final phase of the North End sewage treatment plant upgrade, while civic staff warn sewer rates would soar $200 higher per year if more federal funding isn’t provided.

However, several politicians say a response from Ottawa to the city’s request for more money is expected soon.

A water and waste report asks council to waive a condition that the city finalize funding agreements with the provincial and federal governments for the mega-project before awarding the money for a contractor to complete the $115-million development phase agreement for the final project.

The third and final nutrient removal facilities phase is expected to cost $1.57 billion, bringing the total cost of the entire upgrade to $3.1 billion.

All quiet on the Hellebuyck front

Mike McIntyre 8 minute read Tuesday, Sep. 8, 2026

Pull up a chair, folks, as we address the elephant in the room. Or, to be more precise, the decorated goaltender who is not in the room. Or on the ice. Or even in the city.

Not surprisingly, the Connor Hellebuyck situation took centre stage Tuesday as members of the Winnipeg Jets held their first media session following an informal, pre-training camp skate.

“We’re definitely going to get asked about it. That’s no chirp to anybody. I think that’s just the reality of the situation,” admitted veteran defenceman Dylan DeMelo, who took part in an hour-long practice at Hockey For All Centre that involved nearly every member of the organization.

With one very notable exception, of course.
