Today is the big day…
Black Twitter has been doing a madness for the past few weeks…
It started with a post by @lottidot at the beginning of December.
As black people, genetically we are stronger and smarter than everyone else, we are more creative, on December 21 our Real DNA will be unlocked and majority will be able to do things that we thought were fiction. Learn who u are as a people 👩🏽🦯 they wanna make us average

Whilst this tweet was initially meant to be a joke, it quickly made the rounds on social media, and soon became a well-loved meme.
The more sharp-minded were quick to notice how December 21st is also the date of the annual winter solstice.
Ok, the weatherman said Winter Solstice will be at 4am…so maybe I have to wait until then for my powers to kick in. #negrosolstice pic.twitter.com/dKEIK3qXXr

This year, the great conjunction is also happening. This is an extremely rare occurrence where Jupiter and Saturn come within 0.1 degrees of one another and create one extremely bright star. This is linked to the Mayan Calendar, and there are rumours this could spell the end of the world as we know it…
The astrological event on December 21st that will give black folks superpowers is called "The Great Conjunction"
Jupiter and Saturn will move into Aquarius simultaneously and line up in the sky.
Last time this happened was 800 years ago. Sage off. Pray. Turn up.
