Taurus: They are so scared to face others when they make a mistake
that by the time they resurface to tender an apology, the damage is
done. So Taurans end up making foes out of friends because of their
laxity in apologizing.
------------------------------------------
Forget the apology--I'd be happy with just a wee acknowledgement that there is a slight chance that they possibly may have done something that could possibly have hurt someone else. )

Virgo: Virgos will first formally set aside a time and date and
inform them what they want to tell you. Then they will mentally
prepare themselves to talk out the same things. They will finally
draft the script and read out whatever they want to. In short, even
their heartfelt apologies sound like well-drafted scripts.
------------------------------------------
Hehehe...very true. Gotta love that Virgo sense of what is just and proper. Not to mention that there will probably be one or two-hundred more words than necessary for the apology. Dad, Grandma, Uncle, Ex all Virgoes--all very interesting--but their motto clearly is: Why say one word when three hundred will do?

Scorpio: Scorpios are formal and think that tendering an apology is
more of a formality. So instead of just saying sorry, they will send
a formal mail or send a card, whatever it takes to avoid direct
confrontation.
------------------------------------------
I would agree with this to an extent. Don't entirely agree with avoiding the confrontation part. Don't know if it's just me---but I go straight for the confrontation just to get it over with. When I am wrong (which is often) I apologize. An apology is like a period at the end of a sentence: it ends the argument.

Aquarius: They are sweet, genuine and innovative when they think
they are wrong and need to undo the damage. Aquarians are easy on
their mistakes and don't take too much time to do their sorrying.
------------------------------------------
This truly is one of Aqua's greatest talents. They are quick to percieve a mistake and quick to apologize for it. Friends apologize to eachother when they are wrong. It keeps the friendship awkward-free.
