4 Zodiacs Who Need A Hug This Weekend (August 4 – 6)

Sometimes you just need to be embraced. It’s the comfort of having someone you trust wrap their arms around you, to squeeze some life back into you, to show you that they care. While everyone could probably use a hug right now, that’s especially the case for the following four zodiac signs. If you’re one of these signs, look for an opportunity to get a hug this weekend. It’ll breathe some life back into your existence.

Aries

Wouldn’t it be nice to just have someone wrap you in their arms? The good thing about you, Aries, is that you’re great at asking for what you want. All you have to do is use your words or your body language. This weekend, meet your friends with outstretched arms. Get into the habit of hugging hello and goodbye whenever you see people you care about. It also doesn’t hurt to ask “Hey, can I get a hug?” That way, you can be sure that the people in your life are comfortable with this kind of intimate physical contact. Either way, you’ll be coming away from this weekend thoroughly hugged.

Cancer

Sometimes you want to be left alone with your feelings. If you’re having a particularly emotional day, you might want to withdraw and be alone, binging shows and eating snacks. This weekend you’re feeling the opposite, though. You’d feel so much better if you could just get a hug. It’s that priceless human connection, the thing that can breathe life back into you if you let it. So go find a trusted friend or family member–especially the one notoriously fantastic at giving hugs. It’ll help you both.

Virgo

You’re not always good at articulating what you need from other people. You’re a “do it yourself” kind of person in so many ways that have nothing to do with crafting. You try to get through tough times all on your own without the need for asking others for help. But you know what you really can’t do on your own? Hugs. Sure, there are weighted blankets, but it’s just not the same thing. This weekend, go off and get that hug that you both need and deserve.

Scorpio

While you’re not against physical contact, the variety you normally reach for is more sensual than sentimental. It’s easy to be touched when it’s for a carnal reason, but much harder for you when it’s supposed to make you feel better emotionally. You’re doing yourself a disservice if you constantly shy away from this kind of intimacy though. Go get a hug this weekend. Honestly, it doesn’t even have to mean anything. Sometimes a hug is just a hug.
