6 Indulgent Zodiac Signs Who Love To Be Pampered
"Treat yo self" is their motto.
getty Who doesn't like to be pampered? Well, actually, many people don't, but who cares about those people? The truth is, being pampered is not all about take-take-take and indulge; it's about honoring one's self enough to allow such a niceness to take place.
The pampered zodiac signs know this feeling all too well, because they spend most of their time treating themselves to luxury in the form of self-care. But even outside of astrology, often times we take on guilt for indulging in even the simplest of pleasures.
Some of us are practically trained from birth to disallow the things in life that prove to be indulgent or pampering. One might not be able to justify the cost of a massage, hence denying themselves one simple pampering gift. Another may simply not want to be touched or paid attention to. Being pampered, while a luxurious and desirable thing, is not always the easiest thing for people to make room for in their lives.
Then again, for the pampered zodiac signs who do open their hearts to the occasional fabulousness of indulging THEIR WAY, there is no guilt, nor do they feel we need to perform a special act to show their worthiness. For us, we just love to feel good, and no, it's not about round the clock indulgence, it's about saying yes to self-care and the idea of being worthy of indulgence. We would very much like to be pampered, please and thank you.
1. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
You wouldn't think that the Bull would also be the biggest hog for pampering, but nobody in the zodiac wants it more.
Yes, it's obvious that we'd all like a day in the spa over a day at the office, but it's Taurus who will simply take that day in the spa, while we stick to our cubicles, thinking about how great it might be... someday. Go Taurus!
2. LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leo wants to be pampered, and photographed while it's taking place. For Leo, it's not just about the pampering, it's about how everyone notices the radiant after-effect it has, not to mention the compliments that follow.
"Oh, don't you look healthy and at peace! You must have done some pampering!" This is the stuff Leo lives for. They pamper themselves to feel good and to hear how good it looks on them.
3. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgo is basically sick of you and your promises, and with that done, this sign will leave you in the dust and tend to what's absolutely necessary in their lives: self-pampering. "Honey, I love you" just doesn't cut it with Virgo. They want things!
And things are exactly what they buy themselves with their hard-earned money (Virgos are great money-makers). They don't wait for someone else's permission to treat themselves well.
4. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Pampering themselves is basically the modus operandi of Scorpio, meaning if it's not going to lead to their pleasure, then it's garbage and should be destroyed. With fire.
When you pass a nail salon and there's that snazzily dressed hottie getting herself a mani-pedi, with her bedazzled phone resting softly on her Gucci bag, that's your Scorpio lady. She's all into it.
5. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
In order to offset that rigid and calculated ways of Capricorn, this sign relaxes by completely giving themselves over to the pampering lifestyle... before returning to complete and utter rigidity.
They work hard for their pleasure and they deserve the down time that pampering comes with. They recharge beautifully, using their delicious down time as a way to become better people.
6. PISCES (February 19 - March 10)
For Pisces, it's not so much a desire for pampering as it is a need. Pisces are extremely giving people — so much so that they can become quite drained of energy. This is one of the reasons they come across as hyper sensitive and even weepy at times: because they are worked to the bone.
They give and give and they deplete. Because they are also highly intelligent, they know that when it's time to do something nice for themselves, they do it without hesitation and without guilt. They know they need it.
