Mercury goes direct in motion 8:52 am PST, 4:52 pm Greenwich January 15 (January 16 in East Asia) and will speed up for many weeks to come.

Mercury, or Hermes, "the Guide of Souls," is also known as the Divine Trickster, as well as all lesser models. It is now stationary at 6 degrees of Capricorn, affecting that area for months to come.
