I hate when people can't apologise!!!!!!!!!!!! Not just because they're being dumb little sh#ts, but more so because it means they're guarded. No! Let down your guard damn it! Let people in! You'll be happier.

LET ME BREAK DOWN YOUR WALLS!! Apologise to me, let yourself feel bad, cry a little if you need, all so I can transform you into a happier person.

It's definitely something to do with too much fixed sign placements when they think they are right and will not apologize. Definitely the cardinal placements for just wanting to get over it and use actions to show your meaning.

I have a Taurus Sun in the 1st, my chart ruler Mars is in Aquarius and I have Pluto in Scorp opposite my Sun. I used to be very bad at saying "I'm sorry."

When I came to the conclusion that doing something "wrong" or "right" is merely perspective, I realized that even the smallest act I do is wrong for someone, in those cases I'm not going to apologize.

If /I/ think that I've done something wrong, I'll apologize.

And to your first post about hugging it out, Kero. I get like unnaturally annoyed when someone tries to hug me better. It's "And now you touch me? PFF! I'll destroy you!"

So random.

Oh yeah, in that other thread. I don't know if that gif is from myspace, I just goooogled it! Lah ti dah....

I like youuuu. Right and wrong do not intrinsically exist, so a good person can't be good to everyone, and same with being a bad person. I think apologies should be a personal thing, not some "I did something wrong so I must apologise"...ya feel?!?? It must be because we're outer influenced people...leaving behind the regular people with their regular lives and regular conventions lmfao!

Most of the time I apologize coz it feels like it can make the situation better, not because I really feel sorry. It depends on other people too, some people just want an apology and it's easier to play by their rules sometimes.

I don't really care if someone apologizes to me or not. To me it's just words...

All of those planets in Scorpio or Leo though. Eek! O__O That's really fixed. How difficult was that with that square/opposition to your moon?

I have been apologized to by a Scorpio with a Pisces Moon, so I think it really, really helps not to have both in a fixed sign.
Like you said you didn't mind admitting that you were wrong, which is probably your sun taking the initiative.


Well, it's certainly not boring! And what's funny there's never been shouting matches. Most everything between fixed signs (maybe it's their water, and my water influences) was communicated through looks and very little words. Then months of not speaking to one another. Eventually I just moved on. The only person who came back (two years later) was a Taurus Sun PISCES moon girl, but I'm sure it took her a long time to get to that point.

Well, with the Leo he was very good at arguing. So that broken bridge was left with him feeling like he was right. And three years later he still feels he's right and knows everything. :rolls eyes.: For me, it was very emotional and I was very deeply hurt.

With the Scorpio, it's turning more into disgust, disrespect, and hate on my end. I wonder if their Suns, Venus, etc. always conjunct my Pluto in the 5th but I'm much more bitter and annoyed over disagreements with Scorpios than Leos or Taurus'. Leos I feel there's a lot left unsaid, Scorpios it's like all that time is planning what TO say, and Taurus'… well, we're just stubborn until we've calmed down about the whole thing but I think they forget the intention to wound.

I don't know about that..I'm a Cap rising with Pisces moon. I feel really, really guilty when I hurt someone/do something wrong. If anything, I overapologize. Just my own experience though.

So "apology Dislikers".....


How does it make you feel?

Is it awkward? Like digging up something you just want to push behind you?

Or what is it?

I tend to apologize for things like.... hurt feelings or something like that. I just have certain things.
I also tend to expect myself to apologize much more than I would others. If I have to pressure them into it then it's not sincere in my view and my Leo hates that.
Myself, I can easily forgive without any official apology as long as they seem sincere about whatever the solution is.

I always expect more of myself.

Part of my problem is my childhood friend never liked apologies so if you apologized to her, it went in one ear and out the other and she hardly ever apologized although she said something really mean to me once then she was extremely apologetic. It was a rare event.

So it's like, I was trained not to apologize kinda by that. Then I remember all the times people apologized to me then went and did mean things so I thought what's the point of the apology?

True. Apologies do get abused.

I remember an ex-gf who used to get angry with me if I apologized. I definitely can understand the viewpoint but at the same time I was a little irritated by it because I felt like I wasn't even given a chance based on her previous experiences.
In the end, I learned to cope with that. She wasn't going to change so I had to.
Whether or not I said the words didn't change my sincerity, or lack of. So with her it just worked out that she would "punish" me and then just move on. By punish I mean, express her anger/displeasure while I shut up and listen and/or answer her questions. LOL

It was new and difficult for me for sure but I adapted.

I don't get angry at people for apologizing, lol. It just goes in one ear and out the other. I think ya-ya. You know? I am sure it's a normal reaction. If people want to apologize, it's their prerogative.

The way I see it is, people are just people and nobody's perfect. Just have a talk with someone about something you don't like and maybe they won't do it again.

Actually that's true.

Although her getting angry was extreme in my view I did gain a lot.
Her talking to me about it (sometimes aggressively) was much more effective.

I usually just tell them my feelings are hurt but I have Pisces north node and we love to talk about feelings and we love to feel, too.

I'm a Pisces moon. All Pisces sun and moon people that I know do overapologize like BellaFenice said.

But once you cross a line with Pisces, it's a different story. If a Pisces sun (or moon, if they're like me) is telling you off, they probably won't apologize, because they only tell people off when they are absolutely certain of their reasons.

Bella,
I am just throwing out answers based on my experiences with people (which are limited). Although now that I think about it, overly aggressive mars might be the culprit. Or Saturn.
I think the Pisces moons i know feel really bad but instead of vocalizing, they would do something like initiating conversation, doing something to make the angry person feel better. Does this apply to you?

My eyes are being opened.

If someone REALLY cares about you a lot, that's all that's needed.
A few years ago I hurt one of my nieces feelings a lot by doing something really stupid. lol
It sucked. It straightened me up real fast. Thankfully, something good came out of it. (we have a closer bond now)

Did not know that about Pisces NN. I have that too, but I don't like telling people my feelings are hurt. I like feeling and talking about feelings though too.

It's about communication though, this is how you improve your relationships with Gemini moon. They talk things out, for the most part.

I have been loving your posts lately! So very true for me as well.

I've had to curb the urge to over-apologize lately, because that actually makes me feel worse. Like I didn't need to apologize in the first place because I didn't do anything wrong at all, but then I get that nagging sensation that it surely must be my fault. So I've tried to tone it down for my own well-being.

But yeah...I'm not going to apologize to anyone if I firmly believe that they deserved every word I said.

I recently had this experience having to call someone out on being really snarky and passive-aggressive towards me whenever they come into my home (and essentially uninviting them here until we get things straightened out). I owned up to my own part in that dynamic (I did have my own part), and asked that the other person do the same and that we need to come to an understanding with each other on some level.

I will not be apologizing for it.

Usually with me, it's like my feelings are hurt so I do something or say something because I am hurting and I can be vicious with afflicted Mars in third especially since it's in Sagittarius and they are wordy and candid. So, it can be pretty rough. I should not cross the line and I feel guilty after I do. Yeah, people mess up but I need to keep my reaction in check, not go overboard on my response.

So I tell them my feelings are hurt that way they know it's my feelings fueling my fury and they can proceed from there. I can put up with some, but when they go too far, I tend to get furious and verbally annihilate then I feel guilty because I wonder if I overreact.

It's not over little things though, pettiness. I make sure I know when something is petty and unimportant which is part of the Pisces nn, too. They generally despise petty trivialities and try to see the big picture.

Little things can add up though :/

Now THAT I identify with. Mars in Gemini here, so I'm the same when I get mad. I didn't know Mars had to do with hurt though, or you mentioned it because it falls in your 3rd of communication? I guess it all combines. Boy I'd hate getting a verbal lashing from a Mars in SAG! Sags are the only ones who can put me in my place quickly, but without wounding me to the extent Leo does. What about you and Geminis (out of curiosity, obviously)

I grew up with a Gemini sun a couple of years older and much like a brother It's where I learned the ability to do this, from him, lol. He was a very caustic person most of the time and when he got annoyed he often cut the other person down verbally. He influenced me a lot. It might be that I grew up with him that I identify so much with Gemini placements and sorta act like this myself from time to time.
