In Sagittarius
Mercury in Sagittarius leans toward the longer story. Retrograde here is often framed as editing a belief or a map, not cancelling the journey.
What “retrograde” means here
From Earth, Mercury’s apparent motion along the ecliptic sometimes slows, stops, and runs backward for about three weeks. The engine calls a station the instant that apparent longitude speed crosses zero. This is an astronomical fact. It is not a verdict on your week.
