BRUHstrology: How It’s Goin’ Down (Week of 09/23/18)

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 September 23, 2018.

Aries

The Astrologer Says:

You may want to keep a Kleenex handy during this Full Moon, Aries. Things are hectic, and now the heavens want you to focus on you and your needs. Have the goals you set during your birthday season manifested? Or do you need to re-evaluate how you’ve been showing up for you versus everybody else? You’re well within your rights to cry it out if you need to. Get your close friends and partners involved, as they can give you advice and light a fire under your ass to get you going again.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

There’s nothing wrong with being a sad boy and shedding a thug tear everyone one in awhile. (Or everyday!) But when you’re done letting it out be ready to get back to work and finish the year off strong. Pro tip: If anyone ever catches you crying and you get embarrassed, just tell them you’re crying about the most recent episode of This Is Us and you’ll be fine.

Leo

The Astrologer Says:

Your world is what you make it, Leo. Look at how your beliefs are influencing your experience. Perhaps there’s room for hope and cheerful expectations for the future if you’ve been feeling unlike your radiant self. If mustering up optimism is harder than usual, enroll your friends and partners to give you a lift. If not, catching re-runs of Avatar: The Last Airbender is decent substitution for wisdom and inspiration.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

You’ve been trying to live your best life but can’t muster of the excitement for the great things going on, right? All good —we’ve all been there. Do what makes you feel happy, even if it’s going out of budget for the newest jordans that you know you don’t really need. Will they get you through the winter? Then maybe you can make a sound argument for copping them.

Sagittarius

The Astrologer Says:

In today’s economy, it can be hard to keep yourself in good spirits, Sadge. This Full Moon wants you to go out (or go in—whichever you prefer) to recharge yourself with a good time. Have a laugh and a drink, and be sure to tear your eyes away from the news for a few days. The world won’t fall apart if you take a break from it. Who knows, you may play around and fall in love, or lust and neither of those options are bad.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Everyone is just sad this week, huh? According to the full moon the way for you to get outta your funk is take advantage of your friday night by hitting your favorite local bar and doing things that you might regret saturday morning. But, hey, you learn and learn, and most importantly you have fun doing so.

Taurus

The Astrologer Says:

Take extra care under this Full Moon as the balance between your everyday work and your ability to take time to unwind is highlighted. Recognize where you’ve been burning the candle at both ends (or not burning anything at all) because undercurrents of anxiety and confusion are undermining your drive. Trust in the new vision that you have for your future and give yourself time to dream about what you want. Then give yourself enough time to rest and work towards it steadily.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

If you don’t strike a balance soon, you’ll become burnt out soon and you know it. Chill with working so hard and put in for that vacation you’ve been eyeing for months. You deserve that week in Cancun, King.

Virgo

The Astrologer Says:

This Full Moon may be calling you to transform parts of your life, Virgo. Sometimes it could be getting into that fixer upper project you’ve been putting off, or finally cleaning out that junk drawer in the kitchen, or even getting that suspicious bump looked at by a doctor. Whatever it is, don’t be afraid to get into the dark crevices that are hard to look at but still need your attention. Do the clean up now so that it doesn’t become an issue later.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

You’re reading for change, right? Well, it doesn’t really matter because change is coming and it’ll definitely help the stagnant mood you’ve been in. If you wait too long it’ll be too late. You don’t wait to clean your room until you see roaches, so your mental health, personal life, and professional life should be the same way.

Capricorn

The Astrologer Says:

Consider a bit of Fall cleaning at home, Capricorn. This Full Moon will bring your focus back to the homefront so that you can examine your relationship with the place you lay your head and the people you consider family. What habits need to change so that you can enjoy the benefits of a good home life rather than running to work at every opportunity? That being said, assess what needs to go, clean the closets and bookshelves, donate those clothes, and don’t be afraid to disinvite former guests if they no longer vibe in your space.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Clean up your shit, dog. You don’t have to have a ton of stinky clothes in the corner that are practically begging to be washed. Instead drop them off at your local laudromat and have them washed for the low low— its way cheaper than you think. Now, apply that to every aspect of your life and realize how much better you’ll feel when

Gemini

The Astrologer Says:

You’re either committing to your ideals or you’re not, Gemini. This Full Moon could have you assessing your crew and the collective dream you’ve been a part of. Is this it? Or is it time to let go of the ghost? It can be a bitter pill to swallow knowing that some of you perspectives need adjusting, but don’t despair. In times like these, make it a point to reach out to your friends and enjoy the good life has to offer. Let go and let things fall into place, the moment you’re fine with being lost, a new dream comes in to take its place.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

We get it: you and your team have had this one goal but awhile now but you all are starting feel indifferent about certain aspects. Ideals change as you age and there’s nothing wrong with that. Dreams can change but make sure your friends stay your friends and the collective group chat stays poppin’.

Libra

The Astrologer Says:

Go Libra, It’s Ya Birthday! Luckily for you the Full Moon will be illuminating your relationships and urging you to notice how you function within them. It’s your season, so know that the emphasis is solely on you and what you need from others first. Let yourself be wined and dined, go out and have fun with the people who love you. Although compromise is easier around this time of year, pay attention to who around you is unyielding and unwilling to be fair. This could be the last round of birthday candles they get to enjoy with you.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

It’s officially Libra season. And that means its time for people to treat you like royalty. Let your homies pay for the next round of shots because it’s about you right now. Pay special attention to the people who don’t even offer to buy you a shot or forget to text you on the big day. The silence speaks volumes.

Aquarius

The Astrologer Says:

Stay focused, Water Bearer, as this Full Moon may throw your schedule into overdrive. Your inbox may start to flood and the phone may start to sing to you with its constant pinging. Contracts may need to be signed, and your siblings and close friends may suddenly come out the woodworks looking for your assistance and attention. If you’re feeling winded just reading this, then you’re catching on to what to expect. Don’t try to do it all. Instead, prioritize what needs to be done in order of importance. Dassit.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Your DMs are going crazy, everyone keeps texting you, and your Gmail is ringing off like never before. But don’t get overwhelmed— just respond to the people who deserve it. Oh, and that one girl that ghosted you a while back who’s so fine you can’t even be mad when she pops up again months later.

Cancer

The Astrologer Says:

You could find yourself heavily in demand at work, Cancer. If you’ve been looking for a little more energy for your career, this Full Moon will illuminate your strengths, push you to act with leadership, and show you where you have to let some projects and commitments go. Lean into your emotional strength and passion to keep you going. You have intuitive knowledge of what others need to feel motivated, so use that rather than manipulation to make moves.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Sounds like someone is about to level up at work and get that promotion they’ve been angling for months now. Remember to never forget your cube mates Jim and Tanya, still be part of the office gossip and buy them dinner for still being office friends with you. Basically, don’t be Michael Scott.

Scorpio

The Astrologer Says:

Ch-ch-changes are a’coming, but you’re used to that, Scorpio. Use the energy of this Full Moon to commit to quitting that one thing that’s been holding you from your success. Could be time to put the cigarettes to rest, or finally look into applying for new jobs because your current one is wearing you down. Whatever it is, put your heart into it knowing that in the long run the changes you make now will give you a stronger foundation going forward.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Damn, the writing is on the wall, isn’t it? Get the f*ck out of that job you hate and do what you love. And if you can’t do that, at least do something you hate a little less.

Pisces

The Astrologer Says:

Meditate on your sense of self-worth, Pisces. Sometimes the things we own and the way we use our money can be reflective of what we believe about ourselves and what we think we deserve. Possessions and money can also be a coverup for deep insecurities that we can’t make disappear with money, with that being said, let go of spending habits and self-esteem issues that keep you locked in financial situations that no longer serve you.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Money isn’t everything. I mean, would you rather be crying while wearing a diamond-encrusted Rolex instead of that trusty Timex? Sure. But that doesn’t get to the root of the issues you’ve got going on.
