Our emotions can turn on a dime today. The Moon is in sensitive Cancer, and its sextile to Uranus in Taurus will drive us to act out. Additionally, the lunar trine to Neptune in Pisces may make us wonder if it is even worth the effort.
GAINESVILLE — Florida center Jake Slaughter’s ability to anchor the Gators’ offensive line earned him Associated Press first-team All-America honors Monday.
While following in the footsteps of former UF standout Maurkice Pouncey, the last Gators center to earn a spot on the esteemed team, Slaughter also took a detour. Unlike Pouncey, a nine-time Pro Bowler with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Slaughter will return for his final season rather than enter the NFL draft.

DETROIT — Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 125-124 overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons:
– Tyler Herro and Cade Cunningham both stated their cases in this one.
– Each seeking to become a first-time All-Star.
– Each doing what they do best.
– Cunningham filling the boxscore with a triple-double for the Pistons.
– Herro providing late theatrics to force overtime for the Heat.
– The kids are coming.
– As we saw in this one.
– For both Herro and Cunningham, any All-Star berth likely will mean a reserve spot behind the likes of Damian Lillard, Donovan Mitchell, Jalen Brunson and Trae Young.
– That could put the two in a backcourt battle against the likes of LaMelo Ball, Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Suggs, Tyrese Haliburton, Darius Garland, Derek White and Jrue Holiday.
– Cunningham entered the night along with Nikola Jokic and LeBron James as the only players averaging at least 23 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.
– Cunningham also entered with 12 turnovers against the Heat in the previous two meetings.
– Which, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, was part and parcel of such responsibilities.
– “If you’re a high-usage guy and you’re making a ton of plays, there’s a cost of doing business,” Spoelstra said.
DETROIT — The last time the Miami Heat attempted to storm back against the Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena, it was nothing short of mayhem, falling a month ago in overtime in a game decided by Heat coach Erik Spoelstra calling a timeout his team did not have.
This time, the Heat had their wits about them, with Tyler Herro again heating up late.
But this time, the same result, an overtime loss, this time a 125-124 decision, in a game that ended with Herro off with a 3-point attempt just before the final buzzer.
“It’s a shame,” Spoelstra said.
