✶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 Sagittarius: Travel hiccups; pack the charger and the patience.

Shares a retrograde sign with

Born inside the very same window
♐︎Arantxa Sánchez Vicario♐︎Paul van Dyk♐︎Claire Forlani♐︎Natascha McElhone

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