How forgiving you are can be determined by various factors such as past experiences, the specific situation you are facing, how sensitive you are, and even your zodiac sign.

In astrology, some zodiac signs are known to be much more forgiving than others.

According to astrologers, the most forgiving zodiac signs have some key traits in common.

"Some signs are simply more compassionate by nature, while others have a stronger sense of justice and believe that everyone deserves a second chance," astrologer Sofia Celestino tells Bustle.

"But a common thread among all forgiving signs is that they tend to be more positive and optimistic in their outlook on life, which makes them quicker to forgive and move on from any negative experiences."

In general, cardinal signs and water signs tend to be more forgiving than others, says Emily Newman, an astrologer and psychic reader.

Cardinal signs, in particular, are constantly moving forward.

They are the "initiators" of the zodiac that bring fresh and new energy.

They are not interested in dwelling on past hurts, which makes it much easier for them to forgive and move on.

While the cardinal and water signs tend to be more forgiving, there are four zodiac signs that stand above the rest:
