✶Astrological tradition — for entertainment, not astronomy

Tradition reads a natal Mercury retrograde as the inward mind — drafted, revised, doubled back — and gives it a fire-sign keynote in Leo: Friend-group static; egos bruise easily, soften the send.

Shares a retrograde sign with

Born inside the very same window
♌︎Klara Hitler

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