BRUHstrology: How It’s Goin’ Down (Week of 08/26/18)

BRUHstrology is where the astral plane and corner store meet. With the expert help of astrologer Janelle Belgrave (and our resident BRUHstrologer, Bruce Goodwin II), CASSIUS decodes your horoscope so you don’t have to. Here’s what’s on deck for the week of August 26, 2018.

Aries

The Astrologer Says:

Consider if there’s been anything hanging out in the corners of your mind that needs to be addressed, Aries. This full moon will light up the parts of your mind you’d rather leave in the dark because of the discomfort they tend to cause. Fear, loss, regret, guilt, and anger can all come bubbling up to the surface to be dealt with on a conscious level. Be extra kind to yourself if getting out of bed is more of a struggle lately. Give yourself extra time to float in the land of make believe when you need to relax and reconnect with yourself and your deeper dreams. Time spent clearing out emotional and psychic clutter means less self-sabotage and more divinely inspired action.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

All those things you’ve been trying not to think about? Yeah, now’s the time to start thinking about them. Think of it like that smelly pile of gym clothes you’ve had in the corner for just over a week. It isn’t going to go away without you actually throwing it into the wash. The same goes for the fears and ambitions that you’ve been avoiding for years. Confront that sh*t.

Leo

The Astrologer Says:

It’s okay to come out now, Leo. The worst of the eclipses are over (sorta), so if you’ve been feeling like running and hiding, this coming full moon will give you plenty of cover. There are moments when you just have to let the change sweep through your life instead of attempting to keep things as is. What do you want to transform for the better, but are too afraid to face? Remember: you don’t have to do this thing called life all alone. No one will think less of you when you say, “Hey, I’m having a tough time, and I need to talk.”

The BRUHstrologer Says:

We have no idea what the eclipse is, but it’s over so Leos are going to start winning again, we guess? All of this change is happening and we know how much of a control freak you can be, but its time to stop resisting. That change is happening and that change is good.

Sagittarius

The Astrologer Says:

Although your mind may be urging you to consider your career and burning ambitions, this full moon is asking that you tend to all things related to home, family and striking that oh-so-delicate balance between work and cherished down time. Ask yourself, Sadge: When’s the last time you gave your place a thorough cleaning? When’s the last time you visited family and close friends? Or it is it the reverse where you’ve been too much of a homebody and it’s time to step out again? Whatever your current balance is, use this full moon to get your house in order so that you have peaceful home base.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

You’ve had a tough go at it, Sag. We know that having your home life or career in the sh*tter is no fun, but it’s even worse when both facets of your life aren’t where you want them to be. But its cool, this can all be fixed with just a little effort from you. Try a litter harder, tag your friends in funny memes on Instagram, pick up a round at the bar, and even though you hate hosting, host a hangout for the NFL season opener. All it takes is a little effort.

Taurus

The Astrologer Says:

You may feel like you’re standing on the edge of knowing exactly what you want for yourself, Taurus. This full moon illuminates your hopes, wishes, and friendships in an effort to get you to stand up for your vision. Don’t be surprised if some friendships and associations come to an end, while new ones seem to appear from out the blue to support you and your evolving hopes for the future. You’re allowed to dream big, Taurus. At the end of the day, you have the patience and persistence to make those dreams come true. For now, go out and celebrate with the people who want to share in that dream, too.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

It’s time to level up, and doing so means some people need to get left in the past. Don’t feel guilty if you just don’t have anything in common with your old homies anymore; there’s nothing wrong with growing apart. Move on and go get that bag.

Virgo

The Astrologer Says:

It’s all systems go when it comes to your relationships, Virgo. This full moon illuminates your house of partnership, bringing in new loves or renewed energy for current ones. Look at what could be different about your relationships. In what ways can you bring more empathy and compassion into how you relate to others? Be careful not to let your nitpicking get in the way of your negotiations and reconciliations. Remember this is about give and take, and lovers can easily become our enemies if we’re not paying attention. Enjoy, though!

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Like many of your astrological brothers and sisters, change is imminent. You may always feel like you’re doing your best when consoling friends, but that often ends in you giving them what you think they want, not what they need. Ease up on the expectations and chill the f*ck out.

Capricorn

The Astrologer Says:

Stay flexible and relaxed, Capricorn, because this full moon may have you running around more than usual with the amount of communications that you’ll have to handle. Emails, phone calls, texts, and numerous invitations could be flying your way. Consider ending patterns that leave you feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood in your interactions with others. The group text situation is officially out of hand, as is the current state of your inbox, Cap. Stick to saying what’s important and doing what’s needed in the moment and the rest you can figure out later.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

You’ve been on autopilot for awhile now, Cap, and now it’s time to plot (and more importantly execute) your next move. Communication was never your strong suit, but that’s an excuse that people are tired of hearing, so do what you gotta do and use your words, bro.

Gemini

The Astrologer Says:

If your mind has been thinking of ways to gain attention for your work and career, then the coming full moon can be of assistance, Gemini. However there are some rules: First, have an idea of what you want to achieve (are you passionate about this or nah?). Second, stay in your lane (your work can speak for itself). And third, don’t step on anyone’s toes (keep it cute, because it’s easier to get ahead when you have more allies than enemies). You’re much clearer about your brand than you were this spring, Gemini. Put those hard-learned lessons to work.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

You’ve been killing sh*t lately, but the right people aren’t taking notice…yet. Figure out what your true passion is and make sure people know how talented you are. If you’re a beat maker, step up your operation, because there’s more to life than the old-a*a version of FruityLoops you pirated in undergrad.

Libra

The Astrologer Says:

Use the energy of this full moon to clean house inside and out, Libra. It’s time for you to do some deep decluttering both emotionally and physically to get your mind right as summer begins to wind down. Tie up loose ends, schedule all those important appointments, clean your desk, and make time for errands. Basically, make your life run like a well-oiled engine. If decisiveness isn’t your strong suit, consider these questions when you’re sifting through what can stay and what must go: “Do I like it? Does it make me happy?” Yes? No? Stay or go? Keep it simple, Libra.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Clean up your space, man. Your desk at work is dirty AF and if you clean it up soon, your coworkers are going to blame you for the roach outbreak. The same goes for your space at home. Then clean up emotionally by figuring out a way to get rid of—or at least manage in a healthy way—all that stress. Oh, and a fresh haircut always helps.

Aquarius

The Astrologer Says:

This full moon, take a look at your finances, Water Bearer. Are you comfortable with your balance, or could you make some changes to give you a little more security and structure? Sometimes when we’re feeling lost in the sauce, we overspend or hoard to comfort ourselves. Instead of looking for cold hard cash to soothe you, focus more on the people, places, and things that make you feel comfortable, safe, and secure. When you’re feeling confident in yourself, the possibilities to increase your wealth will appear before you. Trust in yourself.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Bro, just learn how to save money. Google income to debt ratio, enlighten yourself, and thank us later.

Cancer

The Astrologer Says:

The world and its people aren’t as scary as they seem, Cancer. Admittedly, some people are wildly out of line and should be avoided at all costs, but putting them aside, your focus this full moon will be about expanding your horizons and moving out of your comfort zone to learn or be inspired by something new. Make an effort to ask questions and open up to the unknown. You’ll learn more about yourself, and how your beliefs have (or haven’t) helped you grow and evolve as a person. Choose your next adventure wisely, Cancer, and try to have some fun while you’re at it.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Nothing good ever happens in your comfort zone. So, it’s time to get out of it.

Scorpio

The Astrologer Says:

Finally the heavens are pushing you to go have some fun, Scorpio. Don’t think too hard about it. With the full moon lighting up your house of romance and creativity, throw a little caution to the wind and allow yourself some loving. If someone wants to make out, take you out, or fly you out, say yes. It’s often when we’re in the middle of pleasure that our creativity returns to us with a vengeance. Think of all the ways a little music and little laughter can heal and refresh your spirit so that you can get back to kicking a*s and taking names like you always do.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

If any problems try to come at you this week, just starting singing this song and Diddy dance away.

Pisces

The Astrologer Says:

Remember that Mya song from back in the day? “Tonight’s about me me me me me….” That’s basically what this full moon is bringing your way, Pisces, the emphasis is on you and what you’ve been doing—especially in relation to how you’re getting along with yourself and others. It’s been half a year since your birthday, so think of this lunation as a midyear report. Do you like your current situation and what you’ve built so far for yourself, or is time to rework the vision? Be gentle, as full moons tend to ratchet up emotions. Keep some tissue handy, as you’re bound to feel a little more sensitive than usual.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Just google Mya and go to images. Problems solved.
