4 Zodiacs Who Need A Pep Talk This Weekend (September 1 – 3)

We like to think that we can handle everything that life throws at us, all by ourselves. That we can be brave and strong 24/7. The truth is, while some people can handle a bigger burden than others, no one can weather the storm completely alone. Sometimes all you need is some encouraging words to get you through a tough time. The following four zodiac signs could use a serious pep talk this weekend, and this is where you’ll find it.

Cancer

It’s okay to be emotional. You’re well aware that you’re usually the most emotional and empathetic person in the room, and you tell yourself it’s a superpower, but that’s tough to believe sometimes. People will tell you how annoying or overwhelming your emotions are. That you should just “suck it up” and “get over it.” First of all, those aren’t the kinds of people you should keep around. And more importantly, your emotions and empathy are what make you you. If you were to take them away, who would you be then? Not someone any of us would recognize. So feel all your feelings this weekend. Cry, laugh, grieve. Do what your heart tells you. Let it all out and be you.

Leo

You like things to stay the same. You get comfortable with the life you’re leading, even when it doesn’t suit you, so the idea of changing anything gives you anxiety. While it would be nice if your life was all sunshine and roses right now, there are things that aren’t serving you. While change might be scary, you can’t keep living with these glimmers of unhappiness. Something has to give. This weekend, take even one small step toward a life change. While you won’t know the outcome with 100% certainty, you can at least feel confident knowing that you’re doing something to change the things in your life that aren’t working.

Libra

What good does second-guessing yourself really accomplish? You’ll analyze and over-analyze and super ultra over-analyze every text message to that certain someone, hoping that you’ll find the perfect combination of words and emojis to get your point across without being “too much.” All this anxiety is exhausting. Worst of all, there’s a very good chance that the person on the other end of these texts isn’t putting anywhere near as much thought into it as you are. This weekend, let yourself relax. Send the text or don’t but spend no more time than it takes to type out a quick reply. You’re way cooler and more amazing than your text anxiety gives you credit for. It’ll be okay.

Capricorn

You’re an amazing hard worker, but you don’t need me to tell you that. You hinge so much of your worth on how hard you work that it’s an ever-present thought in your mind. You show off your spreadsheets or your to-do lists with every item crossed off and you think, “This is me!” I’m here to tell you that this is not all that you are. If you take away all the workaholism, the planning and executing, you won’t be left an empty shell. Rather, you’ll see what the rest of us have already known about you. You’re a caring friend, a funny conversationalist, and a warm presence. This weekend, take a break and show off all the other qualities that make you uniquely you.
