Introduction
Everyone has a breaking point, and when they’ve been wronged, some zodiac signs find it particularly difficult to move on. Holding a grudge can be a way of protecting oneself or seeking justice in the eyes of the person who has hurt them. While some signs are quick to forgive, others have a much harder time letting go. If you’re curious which zodiac signs are most likely to hold onto a grudge, read on to discover the top five.
Scorpio
Scorpios are known for their emotional intensity, which extends to hatred. Offending a Scorpio is rarely forgotten and can only be forgiven after long thought—if at all. Scorpio’s deep connection to their emotions makes lying feel more personal, so they can hold a grudge for years.
Their ruling planets Mars and Pluto contribute to excitement and flexibility. Scorpios tend to revisit the pain in their mind, making it difficult for them to move forward. They prefer to be guarded rather than risk further injury, and may seek revenge if pushed too far.
Taurus
Taurus ruled by Venus creates stability and loyalty above all else. When they are betrayed or hurt, their foundation seems shaken, causing them to cling to anger as a defense mechanism. Taurus is known for being stubborn, a trait that goes back to the inability to let go of past passions.
Once their trust is damaged, it is very difficult to repair. Taurus natives can also subconsciously lie, creating a mental block that makes forgiveness difficult. Their pragmatic behavior also suggests that they see little reason to reconcile if they believe the relationship is damaged beyond repair.
Capricorn
Shark don’t show their anger openly, but they have strange memories of past mistakes. Ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and action, Capricorns have a tendency to hold others accountable for their actions. Lying is taken seriously and it is often believed that forgiveness too soon allows bad behavior to continue unchecked.
Capricorns are practical, so their hostility is less about emotions and more about principle. They can use their hate as a reminder to set boundaries and cut ties with their victims. While they may not actively seek revenge, the person who has wronged them will find that they have completely lost the dog’s trust.
Cancer
Often, the nurturing and empathetic nature of cancer makes them vulnerable to their emotional wounds. When startled, they retreat to their shell and repeat the process over and over again. Cancer’s relationship with the Moon makes them very emotional and tend to cling to the past, which is why they hold onto resentment.
For cancer patients, remission is tied to their emotional healing and can take a long time to recover from. They may bring up old grievances in a new conflict, which can further damage their relationship. But if they feel like they truly understand the cancer and receive an apology they believe is sincere, they are more likely to move forward.
Virgo
Virgos are detail-oriented and analytical, which makes them good at remembering every detail. Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication and imagination, and has a tendency to overthink and replay miscommunications. They hold grudges because they try to stop flaws in their relationships and are hurt when others don’t live up to high standards
Virgos generally need time and open communication to process their feelings and forgive. Until they feel locked up, they make a mental audit of every anger, and let their anger linger longer than they want. However, due to genuine efforts to repair the relationship, it can also be undermined.
Conclusion
Every sign of the zodiac is capable of forgiving but tends to remember and not let go with Scorpio, Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, and Virgo. Their intense emotion, requirement for stability, and their high standards just cause them not to get on well with forgiving others from hurting them before. If there was understanding behind these motivators, patience and healing of the relationship could emerge in some cases.
