wouldn’t teens want to
read an astrology column by a teen?” I asked.
    “She’s right,” Jaffa said. “It’s one way you can get past the cliché, Stacy. A teen astrology writer.”
    “I don’t know.” She looked from him to me, as if trying to decide how much denying my request would harm her relationship with him. Finally, she said, “Okay, so here’s what’s happening. We’re going to do a Halloween launch party for the magazine, a costume party.”
    “That sounds wonderful.” I wasn’t sure what she wanted from me. “Are you saying that I might be able to attend?”
    “Of course, but more than that, I am going to give you the birth date of one of the celebs we’ve invited to be there. You then have to do the person’s chart and predict their future.”
    “How much of their future?” I asked, and wondered what I’d gotten myself into.
    “Just the month ahead,” she told me. “The same way you would do in the magazine. Deadline will be the day of the party. If your predictions come close enough, I’ll consider you for a contract as our teen astrologer.”
    “Consider?” I asked.
    Henry chuckled, and Stacy laughed too.
    “Okay, Logan. Here’s the deal. Figure out this one chart correctly for me, and you have the job for six months at least. We’ll give you a contract.”
    “I can do it,” I said. “No problem.”
    Yeah, right.

    NOTES TO SELF
    Thank you, Jaffa. Thank you very much. You’ve given Stacy enough confidence in me that she is actually considering me as a columnist. Even though she doesn’t believe in astrology. Even though she thinks I am too young despite these boots that Paige said made me look sophisticated. So now all I have to do is figure out this chart. Double Gemini with an Aries Moon. That’s a no-brainer. Arianna Woods. Everything she does is Gemini. Now, what do I say to Ms. Snider next week in class? That’s pretty easy for this Aquarius.
    Nothing.

    NOTHING ABOUT THE ZODIAC IS CLEAR-CUT. THE CAR-
DINAL SIGNS ARE THOUGHT OF AS LEADERS, FOR
INSTANCE, YET SOMETIMES THEY ARE SIDETRACKED BY
A NEED FOR ATTENTION. ALTHOUGH FIXED SIGNS CAN
BE STABLE, THEY CAN FREQUENTLY GET STUCK BY
REFUSING TO LET GO OF THE SAME-OLD SAME-OLD.
MUTABLE SIGNS POSSESS FLEXIBILITY, BUT TOO MUCH
FLEXIBILITY CAN LEAVE YOU TIED IN KNOTS. REMEM-
BER THAT EACH SIGN HAS A POSITIVE AND A NEGATIVE
SIDE. BEING AWARE OF BOTH WILL BETTER PREPARE
YOU FOR SUCCESS.
     
—Fearless Astrology

CARDINAL, FIXED, MUTABLE: WHICH ARE YOU?
    CARDINAL: Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn
    FIXED: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
    MUTABLE: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces
    I already knew I was a Fixed sign, and, yes, I was well aware that I had to get unstuck in order to have a chance at a column with CRUSH . Even the thought of it sent terror through me. And hope.
    At least I really did know something about astrology now. When I first found the book, I was clueless about how to figure out a chart. Now I knew that with only the birth date, I could find out everything except a person’s Rising sign. Fortunately, Stacy had given me that too. Arianna was a double Gemini, with both her Sun and Rising in that sign of communication. Her Moon was in Aries, the Ram, as was her Mars. No wonder she went after what she wanted with little regard for anyone else. Her Venus was in Pisces, the sign of the dreamer who believed in Prince Charming and the fairy-tale ending. That was a surprise.
    One thing I did well was focus on a task, so that’s what I forced myself to do, starting with some online research on Arianna. I didn’t have to go past her YUTalk page. Right there, it proclaimed:

    Arianna Woods
    Motto: Don’t even try it.
    Hair: Fake
    Eyes: Hazel
    Sun Sign: Gemini
    Music: Everything
    Goal: Race the Death Machine all the way to hell
    Now, that was an uplifting thought. It was followed by some pretty hot stuff pertaining to guys. A Mutable sign for sure, with some Cardinal Aries thrown in there. Would it help me or hurt
