MOON ALERT: Caution! Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 10:45 a.m. until 9 p.m. today. After that, the moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Cut yourself some slack, because it’s a bit lacklustre due to the moon alert. Cope as best you can. Socialize in a low-key way. Focus on hobbies and creative self-expression. Baby steps.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a good day to kick back and relax because there’s a moon alert for most of the day. Don’t shop except for food and gas. Postpone important decisions. Explore your world and learn new things, as this will interest you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Be careful due to the fact the moon alert is in your eighth house, which concerns shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. Don’t make important decisions regarding these issues. Stay chill.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might feel fuzzy and vague about issues. You’re not sure what to do first. This doesn’t mean it has to be a bad day; but it might not be a productive day. Go along to get along.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be pleased with whatever you manage to do because it might be hard to stay focused during the moon alert. Make a list. Be grateful if you get three things done. Even two. Maybe even one. Don’t make a big deal about anything.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This is a creative day. It’s a good day to socialize in a low-key way with others. Enjoy sports, fun activities with kids and shmoozing in a lighthearted way. Don’t volunteer for anything. Restrict your spending to food and gas.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’ll be best-off relaxing at home, especially because you might be more involved with a parent or female relative. Don’t make big decisions as it’s a moon alert all day. Pamper yourself. Don’t be too ambitious. Take it easy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

There’s a moon alert all day. Try to stay relaxed and don’t be hard on yourself if you feel indecisive and not sure what to do next. A short drive for pleasure might be pleasing. You will also enjoy casual conversations with others, especially siblings, relatives and neighbours. Stay chill.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be careful as there’s a moon alert in effect all day and it’s taking place in your primary money house, which means you will be tempted to shop and explore financial angles and negotiations. Don’t do this. Do your homework and wait until the moon alert is over to act.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

There might be confusing elements at play because most of this day is a moon alert and it’s happening in your sign. This is why you might feel unsure and indecisive about things. Not sure what to do next. A bit at sixes and sevens. Don’t worry, as this will be brief. Enjoy relaxation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The best way to deal with the day is to be low-key and enjoy privacy or work alone or behind the scenes. A discussion with a parent or a boss could be fruitful. However, because there’s a moon alert all day, agree to nothing important. Certainly, don’t volunteer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a good day for quiet conversations with friends and members of groups. Don’t agree to anything important and don’t volunteer for anything. Explore ideas. You might work if you have the energy, but it could be short-lived. Take it easy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor, martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme (1960) shares your birthday. You’re socially aware and self-reliant. You’re affectionate, inspiring and responsible. This is a slower-paced year. Take time to rejuvenate your energy. Focus on business and personal relationships and hang out with people who are kind, helpful and have your back. Concentrate on your needs and what brings you happiness.

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My husband hates it that I didn’t want to go back to work right after having our child. I still don’t want to farm out our sweet breastfeeding baby girl to a babysitter!

I’ve been staying home to be with her, but I just found two hidden unpaid utility bills in my husband’s truck, that could get us in very big trouble. No wonder my guy doesn’t like me going into his truck alone these days.

Now I don’t know what to do. Should I talk to my parents about borrowing money from them before we get our utilities cut off? My husband says that will make him “look bad,” like he couldn’t take care of me and our child. Well, he can’t!

Hockey teams scramble after two city arenas put on ice

Morgan Modjeski 6 minute read Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026

Instead of ice, Barry Bonni walks onto a dull concrete surface at the Terry Sawchuk Memorial Arena on Thursday.

The arena, as well as the West Kildonan Memorial Arena, have had to close after failing inspections. Predictably, the city’s hockey community is in a tailspin because ice time is so precious.

“We’re now in panic mode,” said Bonni, president of the River East Royal Knights on Thursday. The Sawchuk arena is the team’s home rink.

Bonni, who is a living legend in Manitoba’s hockey community, said the Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League club is scrambling to find ice time.

A Life's Story: Musician made great contributions, advocated for fellow artists

Conrad Sweatman 7 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

When a University of Manitoba dean came to inform Victor Davies that he was booted from pre-med in the late 1950s, it was — to permit a cliché — music to his ears.

“In his mind, what he heard was much more encouraging. He heard, ‘Follow your own dream. Listen to your own melody. Speak with your own voice,’” says Davies’s daughter, Heather.

Davies, who died at 87 from pancreatic cancer and PLS in late September, was nevertheless about to take a major gamble, one that would eventually earn him an honorary doctorate from the University of Manitoba and a nomination to the Order of Canada.

Few careers are as uncertain as music, and at a time when the composition departments were saying au revoir to tonality, embracing the heavily dissonant styles of France and Germany, Davies was about to go against the grain. He would soon find a new home across the border in Bloomington, Ind., where for four years he studied at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music.

Klein would redirect money to fix derelict arenas

Gabrielle Piché 3 minute read Yesterday at 5:13 PM CDT

Rerouting funds slated for bike and walking paths to aging rinks is on mayoral candidate Kevin Klein’s radar.

“We have some arenas — and they seem to specifically be in the north end — that are not getting the attention they deserve,” Klein said.

“We have to spend the money wisely maintaining (arenas), because we don’t have the cash to rebuild them.”

Klein spoke to reporters Saturday after hearing the president of the River East Royal Knights had been locked out of his Terry Sawchuk Arena office.

Instead of canola on Friday, there was sod.

But in two years’ time, by current estimates, the bare plot of land in a St. Boniface industrial park will hold canola samples and seeds for testing.

Bayer Canada officially broke ground on a 60,000-square-foot research and development facility Friday morning.

“It’s about bringing new and better innovation to farmers,” said Kacy Perry, Bayer Crop Science Canada’s country division head.

Backstreet Boys’ 12-show Toronto run offers millennials a ticket to simpler times

Alex Nino Gheciu, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 3:01 PM CDT

When Chelsea Smith heard the Backstreet Boys were coming to Toronto, she had a simple message for the five men who soundtracked her childhood.

“Here's my credit card, take all my money.”

The 35-year-old Vancouver fan wasn’t bluffing. Having already travelled to Las Vegas to see her teenybopper crushes, she's now preparing to fly across the country for two Toronto concerts, spending roughly $600 on tickets alone.

And she's hardly the only millennial willing to pay a tidy sum to party like it’s 1999.
