Q: Totally disagree with the win-now mode. The window is Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo and all the kids. The Heat’s player development has made plenty of undrafted players money. I want to see what they do with players with the measurables of drafted players. – Chris, Cape Coral.

A: So you’re suggesting a Heat step back? Is that even a thing? Look, I do not necessarily disagree. But I also appreciate more than championship or bust. To me, you can also enjoy a team as it evolves. The Heat instead operate where the move is trading for Terry Rozier at the cost of a first-round pick, as well. So, ultimately, Kel’el Ware and Pelle Larsson will have to fit in, instead of being built around. It is the Pat Riley way.

Q: Ira, the 76ers are operating like a team solely with a championship vision, not only trading for Paul George, but signing players like Caleb Martin, Eric Gordon, Andre Drummond, Kyle Lowry and Reggie Jackson. The Heat have only added Alec Burks. What gives? – Laurence.

A: What gives could be desperation, considering Joel Embiid has not gotten beyond the second round of the playoffs in his career and Philadelphia is at a point under Daryl Morey where they simply have to win something. The Heat, by contrast, have consistently bypassed the 76ers in the playoffs in recent years, with both going out in the first round last year. Now we’ll see whether desperation makes the difference for the 76ers.

Q: Is Trae Young still a thing? – Kevin.

A: As of now he’s still an Atlanta Hawks thing. Now we’ll see if the offloading of Dejounte Murray was a one-off or part of a makeover. As for Murray and the Heat, yes, it should be considered if available. There is talent there can be maximized with the right fit.

Today is Wednesday, July 31, the 213th day of 2024. There are 153 days left in the year.

In 1715, a fleet of Spanish ships carrying gold, silver and jewelry sank during a hurricane off the east Florida coast; of some 2,500 crew members, more than 1,000 died.

In 1777, the 19-year-old Marquis de Lafayette received a commission as major general in the Continental Army by the Second Continental Congress.

In 1919, Germany’s Weimar Constitution was adopted by the republic’s National Assembly.

General Daily Insight for July 31, 2024

Everything may not be as it seems. The emotional Moon is at odds with serious Saturn, so disappointment or an abundance of responsibility could wear us out and make it harder to relax. Thankfully, Luna blends well with friendly Venus, encouraging us to reach out for friendship from those around us and offering sparks of creativity. That said, a lack of clarity can set off emotional confusion when the Moon squares perplexing Neptune at 10:46 pm EDT. Decision-making might require extra careful thought.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Setbacks can be infuriating. Be honest with yourself — have you accidentally taken on more than you can handle in a certain area? If so, it’s key that you allow space for relaxation, rather than pushing ahead through overstimulation, exhaustion, or even illness. This can be difficult, especially if you feel as though letting anyone down, even yourself, would be catastrophic. You’re only human, and you’re allowed to step down when necessary to take care of your body and mind. Be gentle with yourself.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Someone may not have shown up for you. You might have been certain they were a solid friend, or at least a peer that you could rely on. Whether their absence was in or out of their control, you probably have to take charge amidst circumstances that you weren’t expecting. In the event things get stressfully confusing, go ahead and reach out to others, or at least take some time to research whatever’s giving you trouble. Seek out any clarity that you’re lacking.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

An authority figure’s disappointment might dishearten you as well. Maybe you believed that you were on the best possible track, and as such, a mentor would provide you with the encouragement that you were hoping for. Unfortunately, this person may not grasp your vision or agree with the methods that you’re using to get where you’re going. They could have valuable constructive criticism or simply a conflicting opinion. Take their thoughts into consideration, but don’t take their word as law.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Confusion may impede healing at the moment. While you’re caring for yourself, you might also need to unlearn past ways of “caring” that would actually add to your distress, no matter who taught you them. This doesn’t mean that whoever it was didn’t care about you — it’s possible that they themselves did not know that their methods were ultimately misguided. Also, your needs are not necessarily the needs of others. Be honest with yourself about what you need to feel secure.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

People may be taking you for granted. When your efforts seemingly go unnoticed, it can be especially frustrating for you, enthusiastic Leo, with all the energy you put into projects. Before blaming others, contemplate the way you treat your work. You could be putting it down in an effort to avoid looking too prideful. The universe is encouraging you to be proud of yourself! If someone else is leading the charge in devaluing your contributions, though, a serious conversation with them might be necessary.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Responsibilities may complicate your community connections. An abundance of work can act as a barrier between you and having an active social life. While being busy is unavoidable at times, it’s still crucial to carve out time to spend with the people that you care about. This is also an opportune moment for you to prioritize your work/life balance, because if you allow your situation to go unbalanced for too long, everything might topple over at once. Respect your time and energy.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

What you do often will change you, for better or worse. You might be taking on the character traits of the people that you spend the most time with. Perhaps your place of work or school is shifting your mindset in ways that are noticeable except in hindsight. You could also be realizing that spending time somewhere or with someone is affecting you in negative ways. Make an effort to align your routine with your soul, or your reflection may end up unrecognizable.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

Obligations might spoil your fun. You might have made a commitment to help someone else, or you may simply be caught up at work. A spontaneous opportunity for fun or creativity might abruptly arise and cause you to regret signing your time away. While it’s important to fulfill your obligations to others, it’s also imperative to make space for fun. Stay level-headed and keep your eyes peeled for a compromise. If no bargain is possible, then prioritize staying true to your word.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Disappointment in your connection with someone else can throw off your focus. You may have thought that you knew this person well, or that your relationship was steadily growing. Watch out for an emotional curveball — the realization that everything was not as it seemed probably won’t be pleasant. This doesn’t mean that the relationship can’t heal from here, but pay attention to see if this person cares as much as you do. If not, it might be best to move on.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Scattered thoughts might make it tricky to follow your routine. Whether you have an abnormally long to-do list or simply much on your mind, this lack of balance may wreak havoc on your attempts to be productive. Consider reaching out for guidance from someone who has been through something similar, as their advice could strengthen your ability to build the personal structure that you need. As for the scattered thoughts, do your best to avoid letting them distract you for too long.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

A risk that you took may have dropped unusual duties onto your current plate. Even if it paid off superbly, that doesn’t mean the continued exhausting efforts are worth it. When was the last time you had the energy to work on other areas of your life? Adding something to your routine means you ought to rearrange the puzzle of your life to fit this new piece, so make sure that you don’t skip this step. Otherwise, your puzzle’s picture just won’t make sense.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

The past may be threatening your current confidence. You might be too focused on times that were embarrassing or stressful, which is potentially holding you back from going after what you want in life. Living your life in fear won’t bring you the engaging or exciting opportunities that you’re looking for, because no one will be able to offer them to you. Instead of being terrified of failing, ask yourself what would happen if you succeeded, then let the positive possibilities wash away your worries.

ST. PETERSBURG — Trade acquisition Christopher Morel homered in his Tampa Bay debut, helping the new-look Rays come from behind to beat the Miami Marlins 9-3 on Tuesday night.

Ben Rortvedt and Yandy Diaz each contributed two-run singles off reliever Declan Cronin (2-3) during a five-run sixth inning that propelled the Rays to a 6-3 lead. Jose Caballero added an RBI double, then scored on a balk while attempting to steal home to extend the lead in the seventh.

Morel, acquired Sunday in a trade that sent All-Star infielder Isaac Paredes to Chicago, homered to left center field off Marlins starter Edward Cabrera leading off the fourth inning. The deal was one of several the Rays made the past week with an eye on positioning themselves for success in coming years.

“We know he’s got a lot of power,” Rays manager Kevin Cash said. “He was fun to be around today. The hitting was great, but also his presence in the dugout — vocal, smiling, kind of what we had heard” about him.

The homer was Morel’s 19th of the season.

With three straight wins, Tampa Bay (55-52) also climbed three games over .500 for the first time in two months and is back in contention for a wild-card playoff berth.

The Marlins (39-68) were also sellers before the trade deadline, moving third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. to the New York Yankees last week and moving infielder Josh Bell and pitchers Tanner Scott, Trevor Rogers and JT Chargois in deals Tuesday.

Left-hander Jeffrey Springs returned from Tommy John surgery, making his first start since April 2023 for the Rays. He allowed a two-run homer to Emmanuel Rivera in the first inning and yielded six hits while striking out three over 3 2/3 innings.

“Wish I could have pitched better, obviously, but I’m trying to look at the bigger picture,” Springs said.

“He’s known to be hard of himself,” Cash said. “But hopefully he can find some positives that he’s on a big league mound and contributing to us winning.”

Jake Burger had a solo homer off Tyler Alexander (4-3) for a 3-1 Marlins lead in the fifth. Cabrera left the game with a knee injury after allowing two runs and three hits in five-plus innings.

Marlins’ trades

The Marlins were big sellers at the MLB trade deadline ahead of their Tuesday night game against the Rays:

The San Diego Pardes acquired All-Star closer Tanner Scott from the Marlins. …

The Pittsburgh Pirates, in the middle of the NL wild-card race, added outfielder Bryan De La Cruz from Miami for two prospects. De La Cruz led the Marlins with 18 homers. …

The Baltimore Orioles acquired left-handed starter Trevor Rogers, sending prospect Connor Norby and outfielder Kyle Stowers to the Marlins. The 26-year-old Rogers was a dependable option for Miami most of the season and has a 4.53 ERA over 21 starts. …

The Arizona Diamondbacks plugged a hole in their lineup by adding first baseman Josh Bell, who was hitting .239 with 14 homers for the Marlins. Miami will receive cash in return. …

The New York Mets added reliever Huascar Brazobán from the Marlins. …

The Seattle Mariners, in a tight race with Houston for the AL West lead, re-acquired right-hander JT Chargois from Miami for minor league right-hander Will Schomberg. Chargois pitched for Seattle during the first half of the 2021 season.

Trainers room

Marlins: Cabrera departed two pitches into the sixth inning. He motioned with his glove for catcher Nick Fortes to approach the mound and was replaced by Cronin after a brief discussion with manager Skip Schumaker.

Schumaker said the right-hander tweaked his knee covering first base on an infield single the previous inning.

“We’ll figure it out after testing (Wednesday),” the manager added.

Rays: Springs made his first start since April 13, 2023, against the Boston Red Sox, a span of 474 days. He threw 76 pitches, 46 for strikes.

Up next

Right-hander Taj Bradley (6-4, 2.43 ERA) starts the finale of a two-game series for Tampa Bay. The Marlins will counter with right-hander Roddery Munoz (1-5, 5.61).

Ontario woman says she was sold 'crumbling' house despite home inspection  CTV News Toronto

Q:  In the past, we’ve seen the Heat sign their undrafted role players to long-term deals, like Tyler Johnson and Hassan Whiteside. The past two offseasons, however, we’ve seen them let their guys walk in free agency. What is the reason for the change in philosophy?  – Chris, Ocala.

A: In this new NBA economic climate of luxury-tax aprons, we’ve reached a moment where you cannot afford to get it wrong when it comes to contracts of heft. I am not sure even the Duncan Robinson or Tyler Herro contracts would have been written the same way if the Heat knew then what they know now. As we’ve seen this summer, this is an NBA of a shrinking middle class. In a previous era, Haywood Highsmith could have expected more and Caleb Martin would have gotten more. Now the rules of the workplace demand a different type of prudence for all but the elite.

Q:  So the collective bargaining agreement and two-tier tax apron system have clearly had their intended negative effects on how the Heat can conduct business. My question, are we seeing pretty much the same scenario play out with the other top tier teams? – Dave, Coral Springs.

A: As mentioned above, absolutely. But what I think is very important to take into consideration here, is that for all the complaining about the restrictions on roster building, this is something the owners voted for in order to protect their costs. So it’s not as if a team like the Heat is also not part of this process. The move toward a harder salary cap was very much the intention, and obviously has been achieved to a significant degree

Q: Erik Spoelstra, please I beg of you, go big and make the league adjust. That’s the only way you beat Boston. I repeat, go really big and make the league adjust, as Minnesota and Denver have done. It’s not the roster; it’s how he will utilize it. – Swann.

A: Erik Spoelstra well could respond that he did go big by starting 6-foot-10 Nikola Jovic alongside Bam Adebayo against the Celtics. The real question is whether dual power players alongside one another makes sense. It does with the right power players, such as Aaron Gordon, with the Nuggets, or even Karl-Anthony Towns with the Timberwolves. I’m not sure the Heat have a similar player on their roster.

Perhaps only one assignment in Florida is more difficult and thankless than being a conscientious homeowners’ or condominium association board member today. And that is being a state legislator with the responsibility to thread the needle between minimizing the burdens on good actors and preventing damage from bad actors on boards.

Unfortunately, well-intentioned new changes to the statutes governing HOAs and condo associations aimed at the bad apples have the potential to add considerable complexity, confusion and costs for all boards and homeowners.

Matthew Zifrony is a director with the Tripp Scott law firm. (courtesy, Matthew Zifrony)

Most board members, especially officers, take their unpaid, time-consuming positions because they deeply care about their communities and want them to be efficiently run, well-maintained and pleasant places to live.

But admittedly, some directors fail to act transparently, disrespect homeowners’ rights, are negligent in managing financial and maintenance issues, and worst of all, engage in self-dealing.

Naturally, the Legislature desires to address the behavior of the latter cohort and protect residents. Which led this year to the enactment of far-reaching new requirements, restrictions and penalties that include:

• New initial and continuing educational requirements for board members;
• Additional provisions on maintenance and accessibility of records;
• New auditing and financial reporting regulations;
• New limits on and notice requirements for architectural reviews;
• Restrictions on rules regarding parking and various efforts to ensure uniformity of appearance;
• Stricter guidelines regarding rules enforcement, affecting hearings, written notices and imposition of fines, attorneys’ fees and interest on late fees;
• More resident accessibility to financial and other records;
• Additional details on boards’ fiduciary duty to homeowners;
• Automatic removal of board members facing charges of ballot forgery or other voting fraud, embezzlement, destruction of records or tampering with evidence in furtherance of a crime, or obstruction of justice.

Again, the purpose of these changes is noble. But the devil, as always, is in the details — which on top of the dizzying complexity of a plethora of existing regulations, reveal some problematic provisions.

For example, under this new law, HOAs cannot prevent homeowners from installing or displaying vegetable gardens and clotheslines in areas not visible from the frontage or an adjacent parcel, an adjacent common area, or a community golf course.

But what is and isn’t “visible?” If your neighbor can see your backyard clothesline from the second floor of their two-story home, does that prevent you from having a clothesline? Yet that same neighbor can have a clothesline if you can’t see it from your single-family home?

In all too many instances, judges and arbitrators will be asked to decide irritating legal cases on picayune matters from this to new rules on taking down Christmas lights in a timely manner.

Also under the new law, condo board members must complete an initial four-hour educational curriculum and one-hour educational courses thereafter. Board members of HOAs with fewer than 2,500 parcels must complete at least four hours of continuing education annually — and eight hours of continuing education for larger communities. Why the additional workload for HOAs and an even bigger workload for larger HOA communities when they largely abide by the same rules? And who will pay for these courses? And how many already-overburdened directors will throw their hands up at this straw that breaks the camel’s back?

Probably, all too many.

And finally, condo associations must send a notice to each unit owner when their structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) is available for inspection and copying. But for large associations, the cost of printed notices run into the thousands of dollars.

Who will pay those costs? Owners, of course, in increased fees.

And don’t forget: These new potential headaches for boards come on top of the crushing costs of sometimes triple-digit insurance premium hikes and recent structural inspection and repair mandates that have condo association budgets groaning under sometimes multimillion-dollar reconstruction projects.

The bottom line: The Legislature has taken important steps to vindicate the rights of homeowners vis-à-vis their HOAs and condo associations. But in the process, it may have opened several cans of worms that could have regulators, courts and mediators working overtime to interpret rules and settle disputes — and boards and owners begging for relief.

Harried boards should count on legislators returning to the condo-law drawing board for years to come. But in the meantime, those board members should keep their lawyers — and bankers — on speed dial.

Matthew Zifrony, of Weston, is a director with the Tripp Scott law firm, president of one of the largest homeowners associations in Broward County, and represents numerous condominium and homeowners associations in the tri-county area, providing counsel on such issues as collections, rules enforcement, contractual review and association documents.

In his “I Have a Dream” speech, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said he hoped his children “will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

Dr. King was referring to the core ethical values of honesty and integrity, respecting others, taking responsibility for one’s actions, being fair and just, and being someone who promotes love and compassions in others.

When someone tells me that Trump is their guy and they abide by the quality of his character, the “delete” key is my friend.

Go, Kamala Harris! It’s a matter of quality of character and character of quality.

About Project 2025

This election is about resources and money.

Project 2025 is about money. The U.S. is on an unsustainable spending spree. For decades, we have combined tax cuts with spending increases. Project 2025 intends to cut spending so that tax increases do not impact the wealthy and assures that the rich can accumulate even more wealth. The working class ignores this at their peril.

MAGA Republicans want white, working-class America to ignore this money grab through a campaign filled with fear, hate and demonization of minorities. Many have been successfully subverted by these tactics and don’t see the threat to the preservation of our way of life.

Reducing spending will do nothing but further degrade infrastructure, regulation, foreign aid and all aspects of a social safety net will be targeted. The middle class will be sicker due to increased pollution and reduction in workplace and food safety. They will be more impacted by weather, and affordable health care will be more elusive. The wealthy will avoid problems of the coming decay of norms with their money.

This is all being directed by wealthy white men. The MAGA GOP and Donald Trump are just tools to achieve their agenda. Vote accordingly.

Time to move on Medicaid

Self-righteous, anti-abortion Florida politicians who bleat their concern about “precious unborn children” don’t seem to have a problem risking death or disability for thousands of such nascent offspring by failing to expand Medicaid to cover prenatal care.

At the same time, a lack of access to adequate pediatric health care continues to degrade the well-being of actual living children in this state.

I asked God about this hypocrisy and He said that He didn’t like it. It’s your move, Florida legislators.

This is “Small Bites,” a South Florida Sun Sentinel feature with tiny tidbits on the food and beverage scene — because we know that sometimes you just don’t have room for a long article. You want a little news brief instead, an amuse bouche of information, if you will. Enjoy!

WHAT:

The FLITE Center’s Sip, Savor & Screening is like a Venn diagram where foodies and film buffs overlap.

The Aug. 20 event will feature a welcome libation, gourmet bites by chef David Bossert of Boss Events & Catering along with a showing on the silver screen of “Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot,” a drama based on the true story of a small community banding together to adopt 77 kids in the foster care system.

The benefit is presented by Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, with all proceeds going to FLITE Center programs and services, which provided resources and support to help young adults transition to independent living. Sip, Savor & Screening is part of the Boca Chamber Festival Days series.

The amendment that would enshrine abortion rights in the Florida Constitution has enough support from voters to pass, a poll released Tuesday reports. So does a separate amendment that would legalize recreational marijuana for adults.

But there are significant caveats, and supporters of the proposals shouldn’t pop any champagne just yet.

The poll also found that President Donald Trump leads Vice President Kamala Harris in the contest for Florida’s 30 electoral votes.

Trump has 49% to 42% for Harris. The numbers are in line with expectation in the increasingly Republican state.

Harris has the support of 82% of Democrats and Trump has the support of 82% of Republicans. Independents are split, with 50% for Trump and 38% for Harris.

Amendments

The findings come from a University of North Florida poll released Tuesday morning.

Adding amendments to the Florida Constitution requires support of 60% of those voting to pass, which is a high, difficult-to-meet threshold.

UNF found that 69% of Florida likely voters support the amendment guaranteeing access to abortion, with 23% opposed.

The abortion proposal has the support of 87% of Democrats, 53% of Republicans, and 71% of independents.

The referendum that would allow recreational use of marijuana under state law by adults had support of 64% of likely voters, with 31% opposed.

The marijuana proposal has the support of 79% of Democrats, 50% of Republicans, and 63% of independents.

Still, it’s more than three months until Election Day. There’s been a lot of news media coverage on the abortion and marijuana questions, and extensive publicity efforts among those urging support.

While there have been outspoken opponents to both, headlined by Gov. Ron DeSantis, opposition advertising hasn’t yet geared up.

“We have yet to see campaigns on either side of this really get moving,” Michael Binder, UNF political scientist and director of its Public Opinion Research Lab, said about the abortion amendment.

Pointing to the controversial statement about the financial impact of the question recently added to the ballot summary, Binder said in a statement that he “would expect to see support for this amendment drop before November.”

If there’s a strong advertising campaign against the marijuana question, Binder said support may decrease.

Senate race

The poll also found U.S. Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla, with support from 47% of likely voters and 43% for former U.S. Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, a Democratic candidate. (She’s a candidate in the Aug. 20 primary, but doesn’t yet have the party’s nomination.)

Binder pointed to Scott’s “history of winning razor-thin statewide races in Florida, and in a state that has become significantly more red in the past six years, this could be another close race for Scott.”

School boards

The poll asked about a much lesser-known proposed amendment that would change the system of elections for school board members.

It would turn school board elections into partisan Democratic vs. Republican contests, as opposed to the current elections, which are nonpartisan.

The proposal has support from only 37% of likely voters, with 40% opposed and 23% either not knowing or not answering.

“The language in this ballot measure has some confusing ‘legalese,’ which is likely adding to the  uncertainty among voters,” Binder said, adding it “looks doomed to fail.”

Fine print

The poll of 774 U.S. registered voters was conducted July 24 to July 27 by the University of North Florida’s Public Opinion Research Lab.

The survey used an online panel, in which voters were contacted by text message and asked to complete the survey, and from live callers.

The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percentage points for the full survey of Democrats, Republicans and independents.

However, the margin of error for smaller groups, such as Republicans or Democrats, would be higher because the sample sizes are smaller.

Today is Tuesday, July 30, the 212th day of 2024. There are 154 days left in the year.

Today in history:

On July 30, 1976, Caitlyn Jenner, who was then known as Bruce Jenner, set a world record of 8,618 points and won the gold medal in the Olympic decathlon at the Montreal Summer Games.

Also on this date:

In 1619, the first representative assembly in Colonial America convened in Jamestown in the Virginia Colony.

In 1864, during the Civil War, Union forces tried to take Petersburg, Virginia, by exploding a gunpowder-laden mine shaft beneath Confederate defense lines; the attack failed.

In 1916, German saboteurs blew up a munitions plant on Black Tom, an island near Jersey City, New Jersey, killing about a dozen people.

In 1930, Uruguay won the first FIFA World Cup, defeating Argentina 4-2.

In 1945, the Portland class heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis, having just delivered components of the atomic bomb to Tinian in the Mariana Islands during World War II, was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine; only 316 out of nearly 1,200 service members survived.

In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a measure making “In God We Trust” the national motto, replacing “E Pluribus Unum.”

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments of 1965, which led to the creation of Medicare and Medicaid.

In 2008, ex-Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic (RA’-doh-van KA’-ra-jich) was extradited to The Hague to face genocide charges after nearly 13 years on the run. (He was sentenced by a U.N. court in 2019 to life imprisonment after being convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.)

In 2012, three electric grids in India collapsed in a cascade, cutting power to 620 million people in the world’s biggest blackout.

In 2013, U.S. Army Pfc. Chelsea Manning was acquitted of aiding the enemy — the most serious charge she faced — but was convicted of espionage, theft and other charges at Fort Meade, Maryland, more than three years after she’d spilled secrets to WikiLeaks. (The former intelligence analyst was later sentenced to up to 35 years in prison, but the sentence was commuted by President Barack Obama in his final days in office.)

In 2016, 16 people died when a hot air balloon caught fire and exploded after hitting high-tension power lines before crashing into a pasture near Lockhart, Texas, about 70 miles northeast of San Antonio.

General Daily Insight for July 30, 2024

Our inner fires are crackling to life. As the intuitive Moon works hand-in-hand with passionate Mars in intellectual Gemini, we’re ready to follow our gut instincts — though we may be more easily irritated as well. Social Venus trines cautious Chiron at 3:54 pm EDT, providing opportunities for healing through connection and creativity. To wrap things up, the Moon conjoins abundant Jupiter, amplifying emotional reactions while improving our luck and expanding our horizons. Make sure to rest to avoid getting burnt out!

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Following your gut instincts should go hand-in-hand with remembering who you are. Be wary of letting impulsivity seize the reins from your soul — and keep in mind that your first thought is not always your truest thought. Other people might not understand where your gut is taking you, but it’s important that you follow your destiny regardless of their judgment. Accepting valid criticism is one thing, but letting someone else’s mindset or words cause you to act out of character is quite another.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Confidence looks good on you, Taurus — even if you’re faking it till you make it. You might find yourself feeling insecure right now, remember everything that you’re proud of about yourself — where you come from, who got you this far, and everything that you’ve overcome. Sitting down and writing out your achievements can go a long way! Don’t feel as though you are any less deserving because of your past, either. Life is what you make it, no matter where you came from.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

Your luck might be directly tied to your actions. If you spend the whole day in the house hoping that someone will reach out to you, you’ll be less likely to receive all the luck that is available in other parts of your life. What can you do, right now, to strengthen a friendship? Sometimes you have to put yourself out there, whether you’re asking a group chat if anyone’s free to hang out tonight or attending a local club where you don’t know anyone else yet.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Slowing down could be more beneficial than speeding up. It’s okay to hang out in the slow lane and let racers pass you — that rush isn’t always safe, after all. Contemplate the connections already in your life and ask yourself which ones are invigorating versus draining. Rest and relaxation aren’t always prioritized in our busy world, so finding someone who actively encourages you to take a spa day or go get a delicious treat together should be immensely healing at the moment.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

Following your dreams may currently require a lot of work. You might have initially thought that the process would be simpler, but you’re realizing more and more just how much dedication and passion you have to put behind your plans. This can incite frustration, which is valid, but it’s important to not let mere irritation set you back to the point that you can’t start again. If you need to take a break, you should! Just don’t let it last forever.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Responsibilities might be more challenging than usual. Even when you have a powerful source of motivation, circumstances such as a lack of support could stymie your efforts. Take a moment to consider any family members or authority figures you could ask for assistance. As you do so, keep in mind the importance of staying humble — and remember that everyone is struggling with something. Don’t be too proud to accept help or too self-involved to provide it in return. That way, everyone wins!

Libra

September 23 – October 22

You’re learning to follow your passion. It might have been confusing before, as the topsy-turvy journey forward made it difficult to know what particular path to take in order to reach the destination that you’re hoping for. Persevere through this cosmic maze — once you’re able to break down your reason for pursuing this passion and lay out what truly makes your inner flame roar, it’ll be much easier to follow the route that you’re seeking. Trust where your soul pulls you.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

You might be working on something in secret. This could be so personal to you that you don’t want any outside eyes on it until it is completed, which pushes you away from seeking advice or constructive criticism. Wanting to polish your project to a certain point before you show anything to other people is fair. Even so, be wary of spending so much time perfecting it that it never fully comes to fruition. Perfection can be the enemy of progress.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Two heads are better than one at this time. A lot of problems look like you could tackle them alone, but quickly prove to be at least a two-person job. Perhaps you end up in a creative rut, lacking investments to help get you off the ground, or trapped with a heavy object that you just can’t move by yourself. No matter what your predicament is, reaching out to someone who can help you, and helping them in return, will be your best bet.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

It’s important to have a method to your mad genius. Criticisms from naysayers will have a harder time dragging you down when you know what you’re doing! The less that you listen to the negativity of others and the more that you encourage yourself to create an organized plan to find a solution, the more likely you are to find the answer that you’re seeking. Don’t let them tell you that your dreams are too far-flung to be built in reality.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Taking a risk could pay off. While this doesn’t mean you should gamble away your money or bet it all on a risky investment, it does mean that you should take a chance on yourself by applying for positions or opportunities that you didn’t have the confidence for before. Specifically, you might find that taking style risks will pay off for you today. Just make sure that you’re doing it for yourself — not because you’re being pressured by someone else. Take your shot!

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Your emotions are speaking more loudly than usual. Their clamor might seem to distract you from what you really want to be doing, but instead of shoving them down, make a point of pausing to give them the attention that they deserve. Whatever you were trying to do might even be directly creating this emotional storm inside you. You’d be wise to address this — if you don’t, you risk creating an environment where your bottled-up feelings will explode! Let them tell their story.

After locking in the four-year, $212.4 million extension on Friday that will solidify Tua Tagovailoa as the Miami Dolphins’ franchise quarterback, he was recognized among the league’s top 40 players in an esteemed player poll on Monday.

Tagovailoa came in at No. 36 in the NFL Top 100, an annual ranking voted by the players themselves.

Interestingly, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was deemed No. 39, in a comparison that could be contested by some as 31-40 on the list was unveiled Monday night.

Tagovailoa and Burrow both went to their respective teams in the 2020 NFL draft. Burrow went to the Bengals with the No. 1 pick and Tagovailoa to the Dolphins at No. 5, the second quarterback selected.

Both have had high highs but injuries have also gotten in their way in their first four NFL seasons. The sample size for each is comparable. Tagovailoa has played 53 NFL games and Burrow 52.

Tagovailoa has won more of those games (32). But Burrow has the edge in completion percentage (68.0 to 66.9), passing yards (14,083 to 12,639), touchdowns (97 to 81) and passer rating (98.6 to 97.1). Tagovailoa leads in yards per attempt (7.7 to 7.4), and the two are even with 37 interceptions. Burrow also has more rushing success than Tagovailoa.

Additionally, Burrow famously led Cincinnati to the Super Bowl in the 2021 postseason, his second NFL campaign. Tagovailoa is yet to win a playoff game.

Both have their injury history, and Burrow’s, of course, is more fresh on people’s mind. He missed seven games last year with calf and wrist ailments. Tagovailoa, contrastingly, made it through his first full season healthy.

The Dolphins signal-caller led the NFL in passing yards in 2023 and led the league in quarterback rating and yards per attempt in 2022.

Other quarterbacks already announced on the list include Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence (94), the New York Jets’ Aaron Rodgers (92), Atlanta’s Kirk Cousins (81), the Los Angeles Chargers’ Justin Herbert (75), Detroit’s Jared Goff (48), the Los Angeles Rams’ Matthew Stafford (42) and Green Bay’s Jordan Love, who topped Tagovailoa at No. 34.

Dolphins players already named to the Top 100 are offensive tackle Terron Armstead (67), safety Jordan Poyer (65), wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (63), outside linebacker Bradley Chubb (62), running back Raheem Mostert (60).

The top 30 will be revealed as the week progresses. Miami cornerback Jalen Ramsey and wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who was rated a 99 overall in the upcoming Madden video game Monday, are likely to get ranked. Several quarterbacks across the league also remain to be named to the list.
