On National Barbie Day, it's worth remembering that when Mattel introduced Barbie in 1959, she wasn't just a doll - she was a provocation. Until then, dolls were babies. Being an adult, Barbie inspired girls to think of themselves not just as nurturers but as independent beings. Today, retrograde Mercury's trine with retrograde Jupiter invites us into a similar moment of reconsideration. What stories have we told ourselves about what's possible? And which ones deserve revising?
