Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the fairy tale "The Sweet Porridge," an old woman gives a poor girl a magic cooking pot that produces porridge on command. The crone tells the child, "To start it up, say, 'Cook, pot.' When you want no more, say, 'Stop, pot.' " The girl takes the gift home and does as she's been told, whereupon her mother and she enjoy their first substantial meal in weeks. Next day, while the girl is out, the mother tries the alchemy she's seen her daughter perform. "Cook, pot," she says, and it does. Unfortunately, Mom can't remember the other part of the hocus-pocus, so the porridge just keeps flowing. Only when the whole town's flooded with porridge does the girl return and gasp, "Stop, pot." Moral of the story: Learn the magic words that'll prevent a good thing from becoming way too much of a good thing.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): These days you could probably transform Satan into a donkey with a touch of your right index finger. I wouldn't be shocked if gems and miniature roses spilled from your lips as you spoke, or you could induce a meteor shower by wrinkling your nose in the direction of the heavens. In short, Aquarius, you're so supernaturally talented it's spooky. I can't wait to see which three miracles, of all the hundreds you're now capable of, you will actually choose to perform.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You won't serve time in hell for the bombs you'll drop this week, but neither will you rack up any Brownie points in the Book of Judgment. So I guess your best motivation for doing what you're going to do will be for the sheer fun of it, for the righteous mischief, for the entertainment value of seeing everyone you encounter get flung up into the air by the tremors you send coursing through the earth beneath their feet.
