Scorpios are apparently the champs according to the sixth national population census. Cancers, Sagittarians, and Capricorns are next in line, and interestingly, they’re all signs that align with the colder months.
I remember back in the day, Virgos used to dominate the population stats. It wasn’t like this in previous years; Leos and Virgos were usually at the top of the list.
You see, in the old days, most folks in our country relied on agriculture. Once winter hit, around the time of the Scorpio and Sagittarius months, the farmers would finally get a break from their toil and settle into a long period of leisure. Up in the northeast, people would visit each other’s homes, play cards, and enjoy the warmth of the kang. In Sichuan, they’d gather for hotpot and mahjong.
This downtime, as you can imagine, led to a bit of "baby-making" sessions. Hence, a lot of the kids born around that time would end up being Virgos. With the large number of Virgos around, there was a mixed bag of personalities, and let’s be real, they got a bad rap for being a little… well, everywhere.
The sign with the highest population tends to get the brunt of the collective bashing. Have you noticed that now Scorpios are taking Virgo’s place in that department? They’re the new kids on the block getting a bad rep.
You might find yourself thinking, "Oh, they’re Scorpios, they must hold grudges. I better be careful," when you meet one. Or, "OMG, they’re a Scorpio, they’re probably super dark and manipulative." But come on, we can’t paint them all with the same brush. Scorpios have plenty of good qualities too, like being loyal, passionate, persistent, and not prone to flaking out. They’re mysterious on the outside and have a clear sense of right and wrong on the inside. They can be quite the charming characters.
Scorpios also tend to be high-achievers because they’re not the type to just coast along. You don’t often hear a Scorpio say, "Eh, that’s good enough," or "Meh, whatever." If you do hear that, well, (, which means ‘congratulations’ in Chinese), because you’ve probably been added to their mental blacklist. But if they think there’s still hope to salvage a situation, they won’t just brush it off. So, if they’re done with you, it’s for real.
You’ve got to experience the awesomeness of a Scorpio for yourself to understand!
Alright, that’s it for the heartfelt weekend musings. I, Molly, won’t preach to you all anymore. Now, for a little announcement: those of you who are freaked out by the Mercury retrograde, I’ve got a special treat coming up tomorrow. Something pink, cute, and irresistible. Stay tuned!
