Sorry, not sorry.
By Christine Schoenwald — Written on Mar 26, 2018
Are you one of those people who refuse to apologize, even when you know you’re in the wrong? Have you always been this way, or has it developed over time?
When you're one of the unapologetic zodiac signs, even a horoscope that encourages you to own up to your mistakes can't convince you to admit your wrongdoings. But astrology may have something to do with your inability to say sorry.
For some people, apologizing is a big deal; they just don’t do it. They may feel sorry but just can’t bring themselves to say the words, as if apologizing will change the way other people look at them.
Saying you’re sorry doesn't make you weak. Not being able to apologize is a sign that you’re not very emotionally mature, that you still hold on to grudges, and that you have a problem owning up to your mistakes. Are you one of the unapologetic zodiac signs?
1. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
The general consensus seems to be that Geminis are too oblivious to apologize. They're not aware that they've done something worth apologizing for.
They tend to get over hurt feelings pretty quickly and perhaps they just assume other people do too. Since Geminis are so engaging, it's hard to stay angry with them when they forget to apologize.
2. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
It's a good thing that Sagittarius are extremely good at communication because they're able to come up with a variety of ways of apologizing without actually apologizing. They may give you a gift as their way of apologizing or take you to an appointment — anything to distract you from the fact that they aren't saying sorry.
The good thing is that even though they won't admit they made a mistake and/or they're sorry about it, they probably won't make it again.
3. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
If you're expecting an apology from an Aquarius, don't hold your breath. They're not inclined to apologize unless they've done something catastrophically wrong. They tend to think they're usually right about everything and can be somewhat arrogant when it comes to how clever and smart they are, so they're not going to lower themselves to apologize.
Aquarius will do so many good things for people and the earth, that their inability to apologize will be overlooked. Nobody's perfect.
4. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
It may be due to the fact that Capricorns are quite stubborn that makes it so hard for them to suck it up and apologize. It's not that they're not sorry or remorseful, they just tend to internalize their process in regard to apologizing.
Sharing doesn't come easily to them and maybe apologizing makes them feel too vulnerable, as if they're opening themselves up for an attack. If they can get a guarantee that by apologizing they'll be forgiven, then maybe they'll say they're sorry.
5. SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
It's probably a good thing that Scorpios aren't in favor of apologies because they're probably not sorry in the first place. Scorpios don't really believe in mistakes (they think of them as learning opportunities for everyone involved), so why should they apologize for something that will most likely benefit the other person?
The Scorpio perspective is that they never do anything wrong in the first place, so why should they say they're sorry, especially when they're not? That would be lying, and Scorpios most definitely aren't into that.
