Andromeda DavisRelationships require a lot of give-and-take. None of us are perfect, we’re all going to make mistakes and say things we don’t mean. But what makes us adults is the ability to accept responsibility for mistakes when we make them, and apologize when our mistakes hurt or harm others.
However, the zodiac has given certain signs specific traits that make the act of apologizing a very difficult thing to do. Whether it is an ever-present tendency to believe they are always right, or their ego is so grand that they can’t stand the thought of diminishing their greatness by admitting a fault.
For others, they believe they have a good reason for doing anything they do, and thus, no apology is required.
Whatever the driver of this trait, when in relationships, these 4 zodiac signs may eventually apologize – but they won’t be the first one to say: “I’m sorry.” So don’t hold your breath!
1. Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Perfectionism is one of Virgo’s greatest strengths and weaknesses. The fact that they see themselves as perfect is the biggest issue when it comes to their offering an apology. If Virgo criticizes you, they believe it’s because you deserved it. They’re just telling you the truth, something you need to hear, and they can’t help it if the truth hurts.
They don’t feel that something they should apologize for – telling you the truth. But the funny thing is, even though Virgo won’t readily apologize and never holds back when criticizing others – they can’t handle it at all when the criticism is on them!
2. Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is argumentative and opinionated and that’s what drives most of the situations where an apology toward their partner is due. But because Taurus is exasperatingly self-righteous, getting them to even admit they have made a mistake is a battle in and of itself.
Apologizing means admitting they are wrong, and the W-word is a difficult one to get off their tongues and pass through their lips. Taurus is just too stubborn to apologize first.
3. Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Everything Scorpio says and does is done for a very good reason, at least in their minds. Therefore, they have absolutely nothing to apologize for. If they hurt you with their words, you can be darn sure they meant to do so.
And if they did something wrong, and you were hurt or offended – Scorpio believes it’s probably just cosmic karma you’re due for something you did against them that they weren’t aware of or got even with you for. In other words, Scorpio believes the universe just made things even Steven.
4. Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius has a high opinion of themselves, as if they are the smartest person in the room – and smart people don’t make mistakes. Yeah, right. In relationships, Aquarius usually offends their partner with blunt, rude, tactless or belittling comments. These are always remarks to attest to or defend Aquarius’ presupposed superiority.
It is only when Aquarius owns up to the fact that they have done something monumentally wrong or their partner tells them that the relationship is on the line – that Aquarius will finally lose their ‘tude and apologize. Aquarius really is a caring and humanitarian sort, but every so often they need a good kick in the rear to help them get over their ego!
