I was just sent this and (being Piscean...lol) I thought it quite interesting...
In my first year of sobriety I took a course in astrology. I had long been interested in the zodiac and it helped me understand that its normal for each of us all to handle things differently, and that common threads exist between how we do things or understand things. I had spent years agonising over my amends with my mother, always feeling like I never really got there...I wrote, I recorded, I spoke...but it all seemed like words were valueless to her. The zodiac helped me understand that she needed something to hold onto, a reminder that I did care, and understood. I am not a very materially minded person, but I realised as an Aries she was. I bought her a lamp with butterfies in it (her totem critter and favourite thing) and she was brought to tears. Giving her something physical seemed to make such a difference to our relationship. I think she realised that it had taken a long time for me to come to that place where I understood what made her happy...and was suddenly talking in a language of her understanding...the butterflies were peaceful and symbolised freedom to her....the light was something to comfort her.
My Grandparents were both Sagittarians, and the description below describes how I was influenced, i guess. It was very much about accepting we all love each other and getting on with things.
But, hey...I guess its all perspective! lol
Hope you get a smile out of it...
The way people apologies and their style of saying sorry depends a lot on their personality and often their zodiac traits. Ever noticed Leos embarrass you when they say sorry while Arians can actually annoy you with their apology?...
Aries: For starters, Arians think they are so sweet,they could not have possibly said or done things that need an apology. So in the unlikely possibility of them actually going down their knees to apologies, it will be a simple sorry. Nothing less, nothing more.
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 well and truly done. So Taurus end up making foes out of friends because of their laxity in apologizing, and rarely if ever are offered the chance to apologise. Too late.
Gemini: Gemini's think they are infallible and therefore will never really apologise for anything. But if they do realize, they prefer to act as if nothing happened, and behave normally with people who have a problem rather than remind others of the incident by tendering an apology.
Cancer: Cancerians will make you feel sorry for demanding one when they make a mistake. They are the legendary characters that scold hands and slash their fingers in the air in order to display the quantum of their repentance. Their repentance can be dangerous both to themselves and others.
Leo: Leos are a delightful bunch even when they are trying to make up for their follies. They will go down on their knees, buy flowers, serenade, put up sorry posters.. do everything colorful to flatter you and make up for their mistakes. In fact some find it's fun to induce them to make a mistake and let them apologize for it.
Virgo: Virgos will first formally set aside a time and date and inform you what they want to talk to you about. Then they will mentally prepare themselves to talk out the same things. They will finally draft the performance and read out whatever they want to. In short, even their heartfelt apologies are delivered sounding like well-drafted scripts.
Libra: They are very vocal once they realize their folly. They never ever hesitate to come clean and admit their mistakes. In fact, they will go out of their way to convince you about how genuinely sorry they are. Sometimes several times.
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 letter or send a card, or present you with their written thoughts. Whatever it takes to avoid direct confrontation.
Sagittarius: Sagittarians don't believe in being sorry or apologizing. For them, it is human to err and therefore saying sorry is just redundant and regressive. Interestingly, even if others make mistakes, they are pretty cool and don't expect much from them.
Capricorn: They can't take a simple sorry. They need reasons, explanations, written letters and the works to elicit an 'ok, you may go now' phrase. They are hard to please and even harder to appease. They are quick to apologise and will often do so even before you realise you were offended.
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. They will often present unusual gifts when apologising.
Pisces: Pisceans don't easily give in because they believe that everything is about perspective. So if somebody thinks they made a mistake, it's just because they have a wonky perspective. They rarely see others as defective. Pisceans and apologies? No chance it will make any sense to others but they know what they are talking about!!!

HEEHEEHEE...
I could definitely see myself in the capricorn description. And my husband, a leo, does that exact thing. Just recently he went and had someone bead some barrettes for me AND had our auntie make a shawl. But I swear...I had no ulterior motives...
Love,cheri

Hey Nic, I'm a Piscean, as is my daughter, soooo you know what it's like with the two of us. And Cheri, my husband is a Capricorn, as is my Mom, but neither one of them will ever apologise, or forget anything. Son, son-in-law and granddaughter are all Cancerians. Life is never dull...
