Welcome to the Traditional Mas Zodiac! Local Carnival characters paired with zodiac signs, because I love astrology and because Caribbean culture is the best.
Here we are, in the middle of a global pandemic instead of out in the streets playin mas & celebrating together. This isn’t how we’d usually do Carnival Monday, but at least we can reminisce together.
So tell me,
what’s your sign?
Aries, The Dragon
A firey passionate beast that's both terrifying and captivating. If you know an Aries, you know what I'm talking about.
Taurus, The Fancy Sailor
Like a Taurus, the Fancy Sailor is laid back, but one of the best dressed in the room. Known for elaborate accessories and dancing while drunk.
Gemini, The Midnight Robber
You ever hear a short speech from a Midnight Robber? They love talking just as much as these air signs.
Cancer, The Baby Doll
Babydolls are known for demanding care for their communities. Like Cancers, they can be hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
Leo, The Carnival Queen
Natural leaders of the band, Leo’s are the center of attention and for a damn good reason.
Virgo, The Moko Jumbie
They say the Moko Jumbie, is a protector, that they can see evil coming before anyone else. Like Virgos, they tend to keep to themselves.
Libra, The Dame Lorraine
Like Libras, they’re charming and not at all confrontational. Once you respect the bumper the Dame Lorraine is just chilling, having a good time and looking fancy.
Scorpio, The Jab Molassie
They’re passionate, assertive and resourceful. D Jab doh dance for free! They know their worth and nobody is going to mess with them.
Sagittarius, The Burrokeet
Playful characters who don't take themselves too seriously. But you know what they say, don't look a gift horse in d mouth, you could get a swift kick in yuh ass.
Capricorn, The Bookman
They’re dedicated, independent and can be a harsh critic. Careful you mess up or they’ll put your name in their bad books.
Aquarius, The Pierrot Grenade
An eccentric and colourful character known for dropping wisdom and random facts. They’re unique and don’t look like anyone else you know.
Pisces, The Bat
Like Pisces, they’re really great listeners and tend to be sensitive to their environments.
