ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is a creative day for you. Because you’re the artisan of the zodiac, tap into your talents and make some art or explore one of your many hobbies. However, avoid intense discussions with partners, spouses and friends. Keep things light.

Sting

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

In your heart, you want to be helpful regarding a family situation or whatever is going on at home, because you feel sympathetic. However, conversations with others might be too loaded with emotions — too powerful. Skate through this day by avoiding crazy moments.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Power struggles with romantic partners, as well as with your kids, are par for the course. Be patient and cut everyone some slack. You don’t have to be right. Things don’t have to go your way. Lighten up and be gentle.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You’re a good saver, and you’re generally careful with your money. Now however, confusion about your money, earnings or even something you own might be at play, which in turn triggers family arguments about shared property and mutual costs. Run for cover.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’re in touch with your muse, which means your imagination is heightened and you might spend time daydreaming. However, you can also do some wonderful artistic work or explore new ideas. Meanwhile, you might have sympathy for someone and do what you can to help them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Among many things, you are the sign of service, which is why you’re willing to help those in need. This quality might arise if you discover someone who requires your help, perhaps someone behind the scenes. Unfortunately, disputes about money and possessions might also arise. Tricky.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Avoid power struggles with others, especially romantic partners, your kids or anyone in the hospitality industry or entertainment world. You don’t like to rock the boat. You like to keep the peace and you like to keep everyone happy. Protect your own peace of mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your desire to help a co-worker or a pet, or to explore self-help care for yourself, might be at odds with someone else’s ideas, especially at home or within the family. Learn as much as you can so you can arm yourself with information to support your ideas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a romantic and affectionate day for many of you. You might also feel very caring towards children. Even the arts will flourish. However, an intense encounter with a friend or member of a group might be a bit overwhelming.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might convince a third-party to help you or your family, because you feel concerned. Nevertheless, conversation with a parent, boss or someone in authority might be demanding. They might want you to account for yourself. (Yikes.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Steer clear of controversial topics because these could quickly become power struggles instead of rational discussions. In any case, you might still pursue your desire to help someone in need, because your idealism is aroused. (You always want to save the world before bedtime.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Even though disputes about shared property or how to split expenses might arise, you will do your best to be supportive to co-workers and people who want your help. Explore romance and playful opportunities. Live it up!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Musician Sting (1951) shares your birthday. You’re gregarious, intelligent, pleasure-loving and decisive. You like to inform and guide others. This is a year of building and construction. The structures you create might be internal or external. Simplicity is key. Take charge of your health. Physical exercise will play an important role. Stay grounded and levelheaded.

Are clinical psychologists next?

Re: Province hires 17 psychiatrists to work in Winnipeg, Selkirk (Sept. 25)

Manitoba’s government has shown that it knows how to solve a specialist staffing crisis in health care. Clinical psychologists are still left to wonder when it will be their turn.

The Manitoba Psychological Society (MPS) welcomes the recent announcement of 17 new psychiatrists in the public system. Any investment in mental health deserves to be celebrated, especially in light of the Canadian Alliance on Mental Illness and Mental Health’s report card that was released in August 2026. Manitoba received overall grades of F and D for mental health and substance use health, respectively. Although disappointing, this is not surprising given that Manitoba spends five to six per cent of its health budget on mental health and addictions, about half the recommended rate of 12 per cent.

Toddlers drown in northern First Nation lake

Free Press staff 3 minute read Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026

Two drowned toddlers were pulled from a lake Wednesday at Garden Hill Anisininew Nation.

Island Lake RCMP received a report at 1:45 p.m. that two boys had been rushed to the First Nation’s nursing station after a possible drowning, Mounties said in a news release Thursday.

Officers were told the boys, ages one and two, had been found in the lake by a family member and taken to the nursing station by the First Nation’s safety officers.

Police said it’s believed the boys managed to leave their home, entered the nearby lake and drowned.

Prairie sculptor Joe Fafard pays tribute to revered Dutch master

Alan Small 6 minute read Tuesday, Jul. 10, 2018

Vincent van Gogh has been inspiring artists for close to 150 years. For sculptor Joe Fafard, the Dutch master’s life and art have been objects of fascination for many of his 75 years.

So much so that Fafard’s latest Winnipeg exhibition, The Essential Joe Fafard — Van Gogh and Other Inspirations, which opened Friday at Mayberry Fine Art, includes several sculptures of van Gogh, who began painting in 1881 but lived a short, turbulent life, fraught with mental illness, before committing suicide in 1890 at the age of 37.

“Starting about 1983, I started doing portraits of van Gogh,” Fafard says in a phone conversation from his home near Regina.

“Essentially, people used his life, his career and his anguish as sort of a stereotype of an artist’s blueprint for artistic endeavour. I became quite fascinated to see that he was the Christ and other artists were the apostles.”

Teacher barred for ‘repeated boundary-crossing conduct’

Maggie Macintosh 3 minute read Monday, Sep. 28, 2026

A disciplinary panel has ordered the cancellation of a Chinese-Canadian teacher’s certificate because of her “repeated boundary-crossing with a student” during her tenure at an international school with local ties.

Janice Wen Ying Ma is permanently barred from teaching on Manitoba soil or at a Manitoba-accredited institution as of Sept. 14.

The new ruling concludes that Ma engaged in inappropriate physical interaction and “emotionally intimate online messages” with a girl who attended Clifford International School in Guangzhou, China in 2024-25.

“This conduct represents a fundamental departure from the standards expected of a teacher,” the panel, chaired by public representative Gordon Schumacher, wrote in its 22-page decision.

Calm, balanced approach to game, life is what matters to unassuming Stastny

Calm, balanced approach to game, life is what matters to unassuming Stastny

Jeff Hamilton 14 minute read Friday, Feb. 19, 2021

When the day comes for Paul Stastny to hang up his skates for good, ending what’s already been a sparkling pro career, he hopes to leave a lasting mark on the game he loves.

He didn’t use the word legacy, nor would he. If you’ve had the chance to speak with Stastny before, you quickly realize his discomfort in talking about personal accolades, despite possessing many. He’s been selected as an NHL all-star, and represented the United States on multiple occasions, including at two Olympics.

In 961 NHL games, Stastny has 253 goals and 482 assists for 735 points. He’s played another 97 playoff games, having reached the Western Conference final on three separate occasions over his career, adding another 25 goals and 42 assists to his point totals. He’s still chasing his first Stanley Cup.

But at 35 years old, and in the middle of his 15th NHL season, which includes a second go-around with the Winnipeg Jets, it’s not what shows up on the scoresheet that matters most to the veteran centre. Stastny is acutely aware that professional sports can be unforgiving; a good season one year doesn’t necessarily guarantee one the next. But what doesn’t have to change, he says, is how he approaches the game, and the way he treats the people around him.
