conversations about the nature of horoscopes. I have learned a lot about these three studybuddies, and everyone seems to be having fun.
    Now the bad news. Do you remember in your last letter you asked me if astrology was testable? At the time I thought it was. I still do. What I can’t figure out is how to tabulate all the data I am collecting. Also, I wish I’d narrowed down the scope (how’s that for a good scientific word, Mr. Selenski?). You see, my Leo subjects are reading daily, weekly, monthly and yearly horoscopes. I should have just stuck to weekly, or even daily. Then I’d be able to say something like, 2 out of 3 subjects had hits on Feb. 21st, or whatever. As it is, I am drowning in paper and stories around the hits.
    And about your sign. You can’t be Cancer (sensitive and moody), and I’m sure you’re not a Gemini because you don’t seem to be anything like me. That really narrows down the field. You must be a Virgo: practical, logical, dedicated and critical. Right?
    Going star-crazy,

Subject: Re: Progress Report #3

Kaleigh,
    I am very pleased with the progress you are making on this project. I’m glad you discovered on your own that the scope (yes, very good word) was too unwieldy. Remember, the Scientific Method is Seven Steps to Discovery. The point of these projects is not simply to come up with a fabulous final report. It is in the process of conducting an experiment that so much can be learned. You thought you were narrowing down the variables by only using one astrologer’s forecasts, but now you realize that there were still too many variables. The best way to learn things is by trial and error. Well done!
    Now, more good news. It is not too late to start again. Not with a new topic (scared you for a moment there, didn’t I, Kaleigh), but with a fresh start to your data collecting. Don’t throw out what you’ve already collected, but ask your subjects to respond only to their daily horoscopes and you will more easily be able to tabulate the “hits” and “misses.”
    Now, about my sun sign. I’m glad you don’t think I’m sensitive or moody. And I’m delighted that you think I am practical, logical and dedicated. It’s true. I am. But why do you think I’m critical? And maybe I’m more like you than you realize. After all, how well do you know me? How well do you know anyone you meet online? Are we not just a summation of the character traits we choose to show? I once marked a science project on body language. Although it was not the best project I’ve ever seen (oops, there I go being critical again!), the student did demonstrate that we learn a lot about a person by meeting them face to face and picking up visual clues.
    Just something very unscientific to think about.
    Yours truly,
    Mr. J. Selenski

Subject: Data collection

Dear Leo Subjects,
    You have been giving me awesome data for my science project. THANK YOU! Trouble is, you’re doing such a good job that I just can’t keep track of it all. I’ve been in touch with Mr. S. and he suggested that we narrow “the scope.” From now on, I’m only going to tabulate hits on daily horoscopes. (Forget the weekly, monthly, yearly — way too confusing!) To help me even more, please put the word Hit in the Subject of your email, and then tell me what happened. If there was no hit for you, please write No Hit in the subject. That way I’ll know you haven’t just forgotten about my silly little project that day. I will set up a graph with days of the week and the number of hits that happened that day. I think that is the proper way to collect scientific data.
    Makes sense?
    Your star-crazy friend,
Kaleigh

    Dear Twin,
    I believe I did just what I was told in this week’s horoscope, but I’m no further ahead. I communicated—a lot—with everyone —but what greater
