News: Astrology. com...  Our Stars now! Jan. 7, 2012

Mercury, the planet of communication, is all revved up this week as it swings from one sign to another, partnering with three planets along the way. If you weren't restless and chatty before, you definitely will be now!

Mercury fires up its engines on January 7 by forming a sextile (60 degree angle) with Saturn. Mercury is still in inspirational Sagittarius, and when mixed with practical Saturn, this combination can result in a satisfyingly productive day.

Then, on January 8, Mercury really kicks things into high gear by not only moving into ambitious Capricorn, but also pairing up with both Jupiter and Uranus. With Mercury flitting about in Capricorn, this is your chance to turn conversations into tangible plans. Don't just talk about what you wish you could do: Figure out how to make it happen! Also on January 8, Jupiter and Uranus bring good financial news, inspired ideas and an overall thrill of excitement.

The following day, January 9, sees a full Moon in emotional Cancer opposite the Capricorn Sun. You'll find yourself torn between letting your feelings be your guide and taking a firm, practical stance. But don't worry - there's a solution waiting to be discovered, and it won't be too hypersensitive or cold-heartedly opportunistic. Your challenge will be to find middle ground that best suits your needs
