BRUHstrology: How It’s Goin’ Down (Week of 10/07/18)

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 October 7, 2018.

Aries

The Astrologer Says:

At this point, you’re probably tired of people and having to deal with them, but this is part of the journey of learning how to collaborate. This New Moon is giving you yet another opportunity to get a handle on your partnerships so that both parties can flourish. This could mean ending or a beginning new love or business relationships, with a special asterisk next to the ones that seem to bring up issues around power struggles related to your career and reputation. Choose the kind of tension that leads to productivity and winning rather than all-out war.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

We know you’re not a people person, but learning how to work with people will set you up for success. And in case you were wondering, working with teams in your career is just like group projects in school. Jamal will never actually do his job, so always be ready to go above and beyond because your ass is always on the line.

Leo

The Astrologer Says:

This New Moon is urging you to plant new seeds around how you communicate, especially with those closest to you. If you’ve been suffering from distant relationships between yourself and your siblings/close friends, this lunation will grant you the opportunity to reach out and re-establish those bonds. Know that you may have to do a little dredging of the emotional swap and air out past hurts that need to be addressed if you wish to see build new relationships going forward. Consider enlisting them in a small home project that you can work on together and see if your bond is worth salvaging.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

You’re ready to become a good communicator, huh? Well, in doing so, that means you have to be vulnerable and accept your own mistakes. Lol, hope you’re ready for that.

Sagittarius

The Astrologer Says:

You value your independence. But there are times when you may wander too far from the rest of civilization while on your quest for truth and freedom. To be honest, sometimes it gets lonely out there in your own world. This New Moon wants you to find your sense of community. Where are your friends? Your tribe? Who do you lean on when you’re feeling low and lost? Let them support you and have your back. They’ll remind you that no matter what happens, you have a crew that has your best interest at heart. Don’t be surprised if some friendships blow up, and don’t sweat it. Chances are you’re no longer on the same wavelength and it’s time to move on.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Independence is cool, but being able to lean on someone every once in a while is more relaxing than you know. Don’t be afraid to tell the homies you need them to grab a bottle of your favorite Port and come through to watch that Quincy Jones documentary on Netflix.

Taurus

The Astrologer Says:

The New Moon invites you to strike a balance around your health and daily routines, Taurus. Consider your current circumstances and whether or not they match up with your ideals. You already know that thought without action does not yield results, so be honest with yourself about what you can do to start anew. If you’re finding it difficult to get going on your own, try enlisting a trusted partner who’s no-nonsense to prod you a bit.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Think before you act, please. Don’t be Kanye.

Virgo

The Astrologer Says:

Consider financial planning during this New Moon, Virgo, and how you can make your money stretch so that it can accommodate more fun and creative ventures without feeling like you’re being reckless or irresponsible. You can have the best of both worlds, but it’s going to take a little planning and brainstorming to make it happen. Do some research and reach out to others who may be able to lend you advice—or even point you in the direction of new income sources so that you can flourish.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

You? Saving money? Yeah right. But best believe it’s time to grow up and learn how to manage your guap—before it’s too late and you’re walking around with a fresh pair of sneakers on but no gas money. Spend wisely.

Capricorn

The Astrologer Says:

It’s a New Moon in your domain, Seagoat, time to look at your career goals and decide to either let things go or commit to something totally new. Whatever path you choose, go for the path that has you feeling empowered and authentic as opposed to hiding behind what’s currently the norm. This is your chance to be a transformer and a revolutionary in your field—not because of the position or title that you hold, but by being you and throwing all your unique gifts on the table like it’s the winning domino. The Fates honor the bold, Capricorn. What’s it going to be?

The BRUHstrologer Says:

It’s officially time to break the mold and stop doing what makes you comfortable. It’s been working, but you could be doing better. Remember: there’s nothing wrong with getting into a pissing contest every so often. Go listen to some Meek Mill to get you hype.

Gemini

The Astrologer Says:

Pour fresh energy into your creative pursuits, Gemini. The New Moon will be urging you to find your inspiration again if you’ve been feeling lost and disconnected to your inner muse. That may mean having to delay releasing projects so that they can be properly revamped  to align with your underlying passions and vision. If you can’t muster the joy from within, go out and play, or indulge in a little flirtation to get your creative juices going. Venus will be sending you support when she pushes you to work on your craft everyday. By mid November, you’ll be feeling more confident in your creativity and your ability to self express.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

“Go out and play” seems like a sound idea. Unless that playdate is with Trump and going out means going to the White House.

Libra

The Astrologer Says:

The New Moon in your sign may have you feeling the need to shed your skin from the deepest levels of your soul. Change is coming, but the time to act hasn’t quite arrived yet. Take note of the skeletons that tumble out of your emotional closet and jot down what has to change about you, your appearance, and your outlook on life. With Venus retrograde ruling over you and this New Moon, it’s best to be patient and not make any sudden steps, especially when it comes to your appearance. Instead, maybe start gathering ideas that you can implement later once she turns direct on November 16. ‘Til then, be kind and gentle to yourself. Balance will find you again in a few weeks.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

That new moon is crazy, bruh. Remember not to do anything wild before November 16. That includes new job opportunities and even unprotected sex. Be wary of it all.

Aquarius

The Astrologer Says:

Time to commit to broadening your horizons, Water Bearer. Look at the map and all the places you’ve been dying to visit and the books you’ve been itching to read. Sit down with the people who help you see that it’s a big, big world beyond your doorstep. This New Moon wants you to step out on faith and go out on an adventure of the mind, body and soul. Think of all the ways that you’ve been limiting your possibilities because of your fears and smash through them. The fear won’t go away, but that doesn’t mean you have to be imprisoned by them. What you’re brave enough to go after can eventually open doors to future success, so why not take a leap and enjoy the journey?

The BRUHstrologer Says:

There’s more to life then your block and the ‘hood you grew up in. It may be time for you to venture out and see what else is out there. If you’re from San Francisco, go to LA. If you’re from Brooklyn, venture to Queens. If you’re from Austin, go to Houston. It’s time for a switch up— even if it’s subtle.

Cancer

The Astrologer Says:

This New Moon brings home and family relationships in to be renewed, Cancer. Consider planting new intentions for the bonds that you have with family members, especially with those who present the most challenge to you. Maybe you’d like to see less bickering, or a more peaceful home environment that you can relax into. Try bringing a little joy and creativity into the equation, lighten up and invite your family to enjoy quality down time together—it could do wonders to heal strained relationships. Sometimes laughter and play time goes a long way.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Work is going well, which means its time to focus on your home life a bit. Hang with the homies and the family and let them know they’re appreciated. You’ll be surprised how much a weekend dinner will energize you for the BS you might be facing at work the next week.

Scorpio

The Astrologer Says:

This New Moon may be calling you to be a secret guardian angel, Scorpio. The world may seem like it’s on fire, and while people around you may not be built for this kind of intensity, you are. You’ve always done well with the darker aspects of life, and you know how to navigate the emotions that come up when facing fears and destruction. Make it a point to help someone in need, no matter how small of a gesture. Take this as an opportunity to use your wisdom to transform the darkest moment into something hopeful, not only for yourself, but for anyone who comes your way.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

A lot is going on, we know. But all the crazy loud noise will end with a calming silence and help you realize what’s important in life. Just be ready for the new opportunities that you’ll be presented with in the near future. Are you in or out, big dawg?

Pisces

The Astrologer Says:

Get money, Pisces. Well, at least be open to all the ways you can get money from people, whether via loan or a sexy benefactor. Whatever’s clever as they say. This New Moon is all about you getting your debts and resources in order, so if you owe someone some change, do your best to handle it now. You may want to consider new ideas around finances, including those you have with groups and organizations. If your associations are bleeding you dry financially and emotionally, it could be time to cut your losses and start anew.

The BRUHstrologer Says:

Get that money from any and all avenues.
