✶Astrological tradition — for entertainment, not astronomy

Tradition reads a natal Mercury retrograde as the inward mind — drafted, revised, doubled back — and gives it a air-sign keynote in Gemini: Your ruler stumbles; messages misfire most of all.

Coincidence, not causation: the birthday and the window are real and ephemeris-based; the reading is tradition, offered in good fun.
