Who Accepts Blame in a Chart
No rashi is assigned to absorb your blame. Saturn delays and carries duty. The 12th spends itself. Those are the chart factors.

Saturn carries duty
Accepting blame is a Saturn theme: endurance, debt, elders, and the willingness to hold a weight that is not entirely yours. Saturn's 19-year mahadasha is when that posture becomes a life chapter, if Saturn owns or occupies the relevant house. The 12th house is loss, expense, and self-undoing, so a strong 12th-house emphasis can describe someone who pays. Libra, Venus's sign and Saturn's exaltation, is the sign of weighing two sides, which can look like taking the blame in order to keep the peace. It is not a moral assignment to every Libra Moon.
A list of signs most likely to accept blame for you is a social fantasy. Their chart does not exist to serve yours.
Your 6th and their 12th
If the real question is who absorbs a conflict, your 6th house is the dispute and their 12th or Saturn is the capacity to carry cost. A partner with Saturn in the 7th may endure a marriage slowly and may also resent the endurance. That is delay, not a gift of guilt. Jupiter in their 9th may forgive as dharma. Forgiveness is not the same as accepting a false charge.
The 7th lord shows the partner. It does not show a servant. Read their lagna before you predict their conscience from a sun sign.
Blame inside one chart
Inside your own chart, the planet that accepts the internal charge is often Saturn aspecting the Moon, or the 12th lord in the 1st: the self identified with loss. The Moon's softness can apologize quickly and not mean the 12th's deeper payment. These are tendencies in a dasha, not a lineup of rashis waiting to be blamed.
If you want a relationship in which responsibility is shared, look at both Saturns and both 7th lords. Skip the ranking of who should take the fall.
Frequently asked questions
Which planet takes on duty?
Saturn. Its 19-year mahadasha spends endurance and delay. The 12th house spends loss and self-undoing.
Does Libra mean a person who accepts blame?
Libra weighs both sides, and it is Saturn's exaltation. That can look like peacemaking. It is not a duty to absorb someone else's charge.
Can a sign be ranked for this?
No. The other person's Saturn, 12th house, and 7th lord would have to be read from their lagna.
