The Apology Your Ex Wishes They Could Give You, Based On Their Tarot + Zodiac Sign
Aries
Your Card: Page of Wands
“Looking back, it’s not that you weren’t enough, it’s that I didn’t have enough to give. And it was easier to let you believe this instead of admitting to the ways I couldn’t measure up.”
Taurus
Your Card: Four of Wands
“I guess I always believed that we’d always make our way back to each other. That you’d always let me back in no matter how many times things were broken. No matter how many times I broke things. I got so used to it even though it was unfair to you. To let you down so many times and assume you’d always forgive me. I shouldn’t have taken your forgiveness and your presence for granted.”
Gemini
Your Card: Seven of Pentacles
”I thought there’d be more time for us. I thought you’d wait for me to be ready for you. But you didn’t deserve someone who kept you waiting. It was never your fault. I asked too much and I should’ve known that your patience would eventually and rightfully wear off. I don’t blame you for moving on. I felt like I needed time to sort other areas of my life out first but I realize now that was a stupid way of looking at things. That my shit was never going to be completely together. I was just afraid of letting you in too much and I’m sorry I made you feel like I wasn’t expressing that urgency.”
Cancer
Your Card: Six of Wands
“You saw something in me that no one had ever seen in me. You made me believe in myself and my ability to achieve more than I thought was capable of. You built me up so much that I kid myself into thinking I did it all by myself. But now that you’re gone, I was the best version of myself with you. I’m sorry I couldn’t help you become the best version of yourself with me.”
Leo
Your Card: Six of Swords
“My biggest regret is never showing you the love you deserved. I didn’t know how to love myself and therefore I didn’t know how to love you. I didn’t walk away because I didn’t love you, as much as my actions showed that, I walked away because I thought if you hated me, it’d make it easier for you to move on.”
Virgo
Your Card: Queen of Pentacles
“I’m sorry I was so controlling and untrusting. I was possessive of you and I know at times I made you feel like you were nothing more than my possession. That you weren’t your own person but rather an idea I wanted you to be. Sometimes I blamed you for my own mistakes but the truth is none of it was you. I should’ve respected your autonomy and let you exist freely as you because that’s who I fell for in the first place.”
Libra
Your Card: Seven of Wands
“I’m sorry I didn’t defend you or stand by your side the way you needed me to. The way you always did for me. I’m sorry I didn’t fight for you the way you always fought for me. I let the negative people around me convince me you were the problem but that wasn’t the truth at all. You were never the problem. I prioritized making others happy over your happiness. I neglected your happiness and I didn’t put in the work to make you feel appreciated and valued and cared for.”
Scorpio
Your Card: The Devil
“I feel awful that I let my emotions control me. I wish I could take it all back. I chose short-term gratification over what matters and you deserved better than that. I always made excuses knowing they were far from the truth.”
Sagittarius
Your Card: Knight of Cups
You deserved transparency. You deserved clarity. You deserved honesty. And most of all, you deserved someone who would follow through on their promises. I know I made a lot of promises I didn’t keep to you and that hurt you. I thought my love was enough but I never actually showed you that love. I didn’t act on it enough.”
Capricorn
Your Card: Four of Swords
“I held back emotionally because I was scared. I always kept you at a distance because it felt safer for me that way. But now I see that all I was doing was pushing you away. And despite how hard I tried to protect myself emotionally, pushing you away broke my heart more than I realized it would. I’m sorry I made you feel like I didn’t care. Because that wasn’t the case at all. And now I regret the fact that you think that of me.”
Aquarius
Your Card: The Magician
“I wish I tried to work things out more with you instead of always running the second there was trouble. I assumed that problems meant it wasn’t meant to be but I now see that problems are just a chance for us to grow stronger. I mistook normal problems for red flags and a sign to leave not realizing that no love is perfect and that’s okay. You wanted to fix things and I was too scared but I wish I did. I’m sorry I didn’t.”
Pisces
Your Card: Ace of Swords
“I know how confused you were about everything. I know a lot of my actions and my words didn’t make sense and that I contradicted myself a lot. To be honest, it didn’t make sense to me. I thought I understood my emotions and I was in control but I realize now I wasn’t at all. I wish it didn’t take for us to break up for me to finally understand why I was acting the way that I was. I wish I could’ve handled things better and given you the sense of closure I didn’t know how to give at the time.”
