Listen to a group of women ordering coffee and count the apologies. Sorry, could I just — sorry, is this seat taken — sorry, I think there's been a mix-up with the order. Nobody has done anything wrong. The word has simply become a social lubricant, a way of taking up less room in advance. Astrologically, certain signs are far more fluent in it than others, and not because they are weak. They apologise because they are tuned to the comfort of the room, and they notice tension before anyone else does.
Libra: sorry as peacekeeping
Libra reads atmosphere the way other people read the weather. A slightly clipped tone, a pause that lasts a beat too long, and the Libran nervous system has already started negotiating. The apology arrives before the problem has even been named, because the discomfort of an unresolved mood is genuinely harder for this sign to sit with than the cost of taking the blame.
The hidden price is that Libra ends up carrying grievances that belonged to someone else entirely. If this is you, try waiting. Not forever — just long enough to find out whether the tension is actually yours to resolve. Very often it dissolves without your intervention, and you learn that the room survives a little friction.
