SATURDAY, MARCH 17

MOON ALERT Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 8 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. After that, the moon moves from Capricorn into Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Enjoy the last few days of this Pisces sun by giving yourself some solitude somewhere (preferably with a sunny patio and a great espresso bar) so you can ponder what you want your new year (birthday to birthday) to be all about. It’s easier to reach your goals if you define them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Enjoy this time of increased popularity. Continue to accept all invitations and extend some to others. Join groups, clubs and organizations. Shmooze with others and share your hopes and dreams for the future with them. Why? Their feedback will help you!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You are still very much high viz with the sun at high noon in your chart. This great lighting flatters you, so make the most of it by demanding the advantage when dealing with bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. They will bow to you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Because you’re eager to learn and hungry for adventure, indulge yourself in some way. Travel if you can. Sign up for a course. Go to ethnic restaurants or visit places you’ve never been before. Be a tourist in your own city. (Send your family postcards from the other end of town.)

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Definitely give some serious effort (yes, the E word) to wrapping up loose details about taxes, debt, shared property, insurance matters, inheritances and wills. Just do it because it’s gotta be done. Then you can give yourself a nice little reward afterwards.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Respect your need for more sleep right now, because it’s a fact. The sun is still opposite your sign, as far away from you as it gets all year — and of course, the sun is your source of energy! Enjoy naps and more rest. (Find someone to cuddle.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Because you are virtually seized with a desire to improve your health and get better organized — act on this! Use this motivation. (It won’t always be there.) Make a list of dietary and exercise regimes as well as a list for cleaning up your act. Feels good, doesn’t it?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Vacations, arts and crafts, romance, love affairs and playful times with children are all tops on your menu now. This is a fun time for Scorpios! Indulge your need to play and enjoy yourself. Very soon, you’ll be working hard. (Oh yeah.)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get as much done as possible while you’re so strongly focused on home, family and your domestic world. Of course, you also want to “hide” and relax at home, especially because family memories and discussions are giving you a lot to think about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Press on! This accelerated pace is totally appropriate for you now. Short trips, errands, reading and writing plus increased time with siblings and neighbours keep your schedule jam-packed. Press on! This is not the time to dally at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

“The King was in the counting house counting out his money.” Your focus continues to be on cash flow, assets and your possessions. Perhaps you’re deciding what to keep and what to let go? You’re doing a financial inventory of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

The sun is in your sign for a few more days so make the most of this! Whenever this happens (once a year) it’s your turn to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. It also tends to attract people and favourable circumstances to you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actor Rob Lowe (1964) shares your birthday. You express your feelings towards others in an almost tender way. You’re imaginative and multitalented. You do many things well. You’re also enthusiastic about life and your enthusiasm is contagious. People like to be around you. Personally, you’re a do-gooder and like to be involved in important causes. Study something important in the year ahead because you will value it.

Visitors from across Canada make Somerset restaurant’s social media challenge a success

Zoe Pierce 3 minute read Saturday, Jul. 25, 2026

There may not be another restaurant in Manitoba that can say it has welcomed visitors from as many communities across the province and beyond as the Somerset Food Bar & Lounge has this summer.

In just over a two week span, visitors from more than 100 towns have come out to the family-owned restaurant tucked away in Somerset, a community of roughly 450 people in the Pembina Valley 130 kilometres southwest of Winnipeg.

It started as a challenge, “60 Towns in 60 Days,” where the restaurant wanted to document how many different places they could reach, as it often sees people travelling across Canada stop at the restaurant. The goal was also to encourage people to make a drive they normally wouldn’t.

“The more we started sharing, the more people really started getting behind it, and it turned into this really big thing fairly quickly,” said Jay Friesen, restaurant manager.

Fringe festival sees highest attendance since 2019

Ben Waldman 2 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Theatregoers made this year’s Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival the best-attended edition since before the pandemic.

Marking a 3.4 per cent increase over 2025’s festival, this year’s fringe welcomed 87,832 attendees to 31 venues across the city. That translated to $879,522 in box office revenue, each dollar of which goes to performers from the festival’s 160 companies.

This year’s festival — the 39th — marked an upward climb in both attendance and revenue, though there is still some way to go before the fringe reaches the heights of its final pre-pandemic edition in 2019: that year, ticketed attendance totalled 98,673.

Executive fringe producer Chuck McEwen said in a release that the festival “remains one of the most vibrant celebrations of theatre in Canada and North America.”

‘Eight credible threats’ against Hydro employees: CEO

Chris Kitching 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 4:32 PM CDT

Manitoba Hydro president and CEO Allan Danroth took aim at critics and revealed he and staff members have been threatened while defending the Crown corporation’s plan for three new combustion turbines Monday.

Without identifying individuals, Danroth said “constant, uninformed criticism” of Hydro and misinformation has eroded public trust and contributed to hostilities and an unsafe workplace for employees.

“Manitoba Hydro is currently managing eight credible threats against our employees, five of them directed at me personally,” Danroth told a Public Utilities Board hearing in Winnipeg.

“More troubling is these threats are increasingly affecting our front-line workforce. In the last year, my employees have been threatened with weapons, including guns, while performing their duties, and in one recent incident a homeowner directed his dogs to attack one of our meter readers.”

Dreaming of a better future

Tiago Resko 3 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The lingering ghosts of colonialism have long haunted Nova Scotia artist Arjun Lal.

“When I’m thinking of colonial ghosts, it’s these elements of colonial legacy and oppression that maintains a presence in this contemporary world,” says Lal, 34.

He said he most commonly sees this in the fetish community, where colonialism is still often role-played through the oppressor and the oppressed.

Seeing how society’s systems and spaces are still shaped by colonial powers, Lal, whose parents both immigrated from India, questioned what it would be like to break free from these systems and their current form: What would it be like to be a flamingo?

City has plenty of frozen dessert oases to discover

AV Kitching 6 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 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.
