As the nurturing Moon squares loving Venus, it pushes us into loneliness whenever we’re without a conversation partner, even though some connections could suffer from envy or disloyalty. The Moon then disagrees with Jupiter, heightening our optimism while simultaneously inciting emotional reactivity and drama.

MIAMI – No, not a formal dress rehearsal, not with Jimmy Butler out for the third time in as many exhibitions.

Baker sat at the locker he has sat for six years, making him...
