can we just take a moment to acknowledge how annoying it is when people use "transit" and "retrograde" interchangeably?

omg dont get me started lol, its like calling uranus the same as neptune, aka just no

yes, that drives me nuts. like, do they even know what they're talking about?

ok so transit is like a harry styles album and retrograde is like a hamilton musical, got it?

oh god, don't even get me started. i'm pretty sure "retrograde" just means "going backwards" and "transit" means "going through". but try telling that to the astrology crowd. they'll be like "actually.

omg yessss and can we also acknowledge how extra annoying it is when ppl use astrology as an excuse

a whole mood, but let's be real, it's also annoying when people say they're an astrology expert

idk, i just use "transit" and "retrograde" to describe when my uterus decides it's not having it

those two words have been used interchangeably for years and it's not that big a deal.

what's the magic number of transits in a row that crosses into retrograde territory for y'all?

can you tell me what specifically you'd prefer people say instead of "transit" when referring to that Mercury thing?

girl what are you even talking about, i've been calling my fantasy football lineup "retrograde" for

omg yes and can we also talk about how annoying it is when people don't even know what retrograde

tbh no, can we just take a moment to acknowledge how extra it is to get worked up over astrology

do you actually know what those terms mean or are you just using them to sound smart?

idk who cares, it's just language, people use words wrong all the time

same, but can we also acknowledge how lazy it is when media outlets call the 50s "retro" but can't even be bothered to do any actual research on the

imagine thinking transit and retrograde are the same thing. do you even know what those words mean?

yeah, that's like the equivalent of using "you're" and "your" interchangeably. equally annoying tbh

yeah i'm guilty of that too, but it's also cuz astro culture is kinda getting mainstream and a lot of the terms are getting watered down

oof dont even get me started people have no idea what regression means

omg yeah and can we also please acknowledge how cringeworthy it is when people throw around "saturn returns" like they

are you really getting worked up over this or is this just a weird hill to die on?

like, what's wrong with you? are you an astrologer now?

Preach! And can we also acknowledge that astrology isn't the only context where people use terms they don't fully understand?

i know right? it's drives me crazy. like, do they even know what those words mean or are they just throwing them around for clout.

um how else are we supposed to say "oh, the moon is moving weirdly and affecting my nagging issues"

lmao you're just mad because mercury is in retrograde and it's affecting your wifi

no, this is not a real issue. people usually know what you mean by transit and retrograde.

dude who cares? its not that deep

finally someone said it besides me. like, how hard is it to not be a poser

yeah let's take a moment to acknowledge how annoying it is when people who care about language are

omg yeah its like people think mercury is just chillin in reverse or something

yeah it's just sloppy language, but on the flip side, i'm tired of astro people shaming transits as

that's a skill issue, gotta learn the lingo if you wanna talk astrology. transit and retrograde mean different things, if you can't keep up then go next.

are you really getting this worked up over astrology slang?

omg i'm mercury-ing my way out of this convo

is anyone else having flashbacks to high school english class where we learned the difference but now people are just using them like

idg how using those words is "annoying". are they really that interchangeable? seems kinda petty to worry about this

same guys transit is actually happening right now, retrograde is like 3 weeks ago so let's try to

it's not like we're all just flaming festina bi minors in a lexical apocalypse

are you kidding me? nobody does that. that's just some astronomy nerd picking a fight

same dude, transit has one definition, you can't just give mercury retrograde its just fine too

it's a harmless mistake and gets the point across.

Preach, but can we also take a step further and acknowledge that a lot of people using these terms don't actually know what they mean?

skill issue, learn to astrology better

are you for real, dude? have you even checked the twitter edgelords for a second?

imagine thinking transit and retrograde r the same thing. least deranged take of the century.

bruh, for real. next they'll be saying mercury's in fridge or some shit 😂

are you for real, person who has clearly never spent 2am talking to a telegraphrooms trader

fr, like those are completely different things. do people really not know the difference between a celestial event and taking the bus?

idk why u r making a big deal out of this, it's the same thing to me lol

its because they're both words that make astrology people sound smart. whats the difference anyway, everything is always in retrograde 🤷‍♀️

omg the planets are just messing with us at this point

idc if people use those words wrong, who cares?

it's the same difference, just more colorful words. doesn't change the context.

does astro twitter just exist to police everyone's terminology or?

lol ur transit triggering u

tf is the difference between transit and retrograde anyway?

lmao right? next they'll be saying "retro" and "vintage" are the same thing 🙄 some people just need to touch grass fr

for real, that shit is so annoying. like, they're not even close to the same thing.

diff, fr those people need to chill. its not that deep, yknow?

what a dumb thing to get annoyed about. transit and retrograde are basically the same thing, who cares if people use them interchangeably.

ugh yes, so annoying. like, they're completely different things and it drives me crazy when people can't keep them straight.

idk why you care it's not like it's hurting anyone

gaaah dont get me started... does anyone know the difference anymore or is it just mercury punishment

omg i'm guilty i just use them interchangeably to sound smarter lol transit is for buses, retrograde is for when my bf's being extra

aren't we literally still dealing with people who think pizza is pronounced 'pea-za'?

lmao yeah, that's like using "literally" and "figuratively" interchangeably. might as well use "literally" and "literally" interchangeably while we're at it 🤦‍♀️

do you not understand how astrology and astronomy are different things?

i don't think it's that big of a deal, people are just using words wrong, not hurting anyone.

lol are you in mercury retrograde and losing your mind

are you actually affected by this in some way or is this just monday morning keywords freaking you out

yeah like do they not know what those words mean or are they just being obnoxious on purpose? pick a lane ffs

u mean when ppl think transit means "ill be reading my mind in 2 weeks"?

true, it's like people who think "literally" and "figuratively" are the same thing 🤦‍♀️

no. transit and retrograde are totally different things. like, this ain't even debatable.

lol i bet those are the same people who think mercury and venus are the same thing. get with the program, people!

um so what exactly is the difference between "transit" and "retrograde" in astrology that people aren't getting?

please, get over yourself. Who cares if people use those terms interchangeably? There are way bigger issues in the world than someone's astrology terminology.

transit retrograde same thing, just different words for when my team plays like trash

omg are you mercury in retrograde and therefore temporarily blind to the nuances of internet

omg yes that's so annoying. and can we also pls stop saying "my astrologer says" like no one cares about your personal

are you really asking us to acknowledge that, when clearly most people just don't care?

yeah, it's super frustrating. can we also acknowledge that spell check doesn't help with this issue, it just highlights the wrong words.

transit and retrograde? that's like mixing up your mom and your ex. Just doesn't make sense. gotta know the difference fam.

what are you talking about? transit and retrograde are completely different things in astrology. people who can't tell the difference are the annoying ones.

transit means getting around, retrograde means moving backwards. get it together people!

don't you use them interchangeably sometimes, by the way?

yes ugh that drives me crazy. like learn the difference people, it's not that hard.

can we just take a moment to acknowledge how annoying it is when people use "transit" and "retrograde" interchangeably?

yeah, that's not a thing. get over it.

do you really not know the difference or are you just being pedantic?

imagine thinking that two completely different astrological concepts are the same thing. couldn't be me.

no, we can't. transit and retrograde are literally the same thing.

skill issue, you got a problem with astrology or something?

lmao same people who think astrology is science

fr tho, whats the difference between transit and retrograde anyway?

seriously. next they'll be saying mercury is in aries or something. like, learn the difference between astrology and astronomy, people!

what? no way, those words are totally different. transit and retrograde are basically the same thing, don't overthink it.

omg yessss and don't even get me started on when they call it a 'transfer' instead of retrograde
