They'll never take responsibility.
By Ruby Miranda — Written on Apr 09, 2019
"Passing the ol' buck." That's what they say when you blame someone else for something you are responsible for. It's kind of an annoying trait, don't you think? And yet, it happens on a daily basis. People are always blaming others for something they themselves don't want to be attributed for.
Who, out of all the zodiac signs, are guilty of blaming others for their own shortcomings? Well, it all depends on what astrology says about your personality traits and behaviors.
The Blame Game covers a lot of territory. If you can't handle taking responsibility for your actions, you might as well say "the other guy did it." It's the quickest way out — just point the finger at the someone else, someone other than you. "They did it." They ruined the relationship. They destroyed the friendship. They did the wrong thing. They didn't come through. They were mean to me. They, they, they.
Look, human beings are flawed creatures. Often times we simply can't deal with the consequences of our actions, and if we're immature enough, we shrug nervously, hoping that no one catches on to the fact that we are guilty.
It's all about hiding from one's own truth; we deflect the attention from our own bad behavior by placing the spotlight on someone else. Some folks simply cannot be held responsible for their actions, even if they known they are the ones who did the damage.
1. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
You have never once considered that you could possibly do anything to anyone that could cause a disturbance, so when suddenly your relationship or friendship is put to the test, it's always and only due to the other party's fault.
You find fault in everyone but yourself, and if anyone blames you, you snub them for even considering this. You blame others for everything that has ever gone wrong in your life, and owning up to your own garbage will never happen.
2. GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Quite possibly the best example of a Gemini who passes the buck any ol' time it seems convenient to him would be Donald Trump. They've called him the Master of Deflection, so it is true; this is someone who only takes credit for his victories, and when conflict arises, it's always someone else's fault.
Disturbed by the media, he calls it "fake news." He doesn't take responsibility for his actions, but he readily places the blame on just about everyone else. If you're a Gemini, there's a good chance this won't make sense to you.
3. VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
In your mind, you're perfect and all of your decisions are as perfect as you, so if there should be something in your life that isn't working according to your plan, it has to be someone else's fault.
The well-known perfectionism of Virgo runs deep; you do not ever see yourself as anything less than golden, and you find it impossible to take responsibility for the things in your life that don't work out. No matter what, it's the other person who did it. They are the ones who did it to you.
4. CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
You don't like to hear that you've hurt someone, and when you do, you immediately concoct a way to get out of that sad sack feeling: you blame them. You can be cold as ice, and that makes you a formidable player in the Blame Game.
You don't care about consequences. You're in it to win, and winning means blaming someone else and walking away scot-free. You blame, point the finger, then you walk. Cool as a cucumber.
5. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
When it comes to blaming others, you absolutely will not admit to your mistakes. You've got something to prove, Cancer, and as much as you'd like to impress others with this idea that you are a flawless and openhearted hero, you're actually a scared child that feels put upon, 24/7.
You don't want to see anything that's considered negative, so when you are the perpetrator of negativity, you walk away, pointing the finger at someone else. "They did it. Not me!"
6. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
You're another of the signs who think of themselves as impossibly correct, all the time. You laugh at everyone and secretly bear disdain towards most of the world. Your hate for your fellow humans is so great that it's the easiest thing in the world for you to blame them all for your pain.
You see yourself as untouchable, beyond reproach; you never take responsibility for your actions. And it's always someone else who is the guilty party, never you. Not once.
