SCORPIO! SCORPIO! SCORPIO!
The creator of this brand spent roughly 9 months in the womb of a Scorpio (an October Scorpio to be specific), so y'all have a special place in my heart. But babeeeeeeeeee. Y'all ain't no easy feat. Why Scorpio. Why?
You are the 8th sign of the zodiac. You are the most populous zodiac in the world. An estimated 9.6% of the world's population were born roughly between October 23 & November 22.
You are said to "play a mean game of chess". Meaning you play the long game. Interesting because according to Chess.com, the zodiac signs that are the best at chess are Aries & SCORPIO! Who knew?!
You are a fixed sign ruled by Pluto, the planet that governs both destruction and transformation. And that destruction/transformation juxtaposition is where the biggest Scorpio mischaracterizations can be found.
Scorpios are sometimes stereotyped as possessive & vindictive. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie says: "The problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story". And here at Funny Acting Black Girl, we don't like the Scorpio Single Story so allow us to offer you a reframe.
FUNNY ACTING BLACK GIRL REFRAME: Our expansive view is that your emotions are intense which can be mis-read as possessive. You are said to be cryptic, but we see you as enigmatic & luminary. In other words, you are inexplicable and have a natural light-giving quality.
When a person, place or thing cannot be explained, it is likely to be denigrated & single-storied. But not on our Funny Acting Black Girl watch. Scorpio, tell them that when they describe you, to describe you fully.
