How to Apologize to a Taurus

Taurus is an idealist, and they see the world in black and white terms. Nothing is small or insignificant. You can tell him that you don't like his new shirt, and he'll see that as symbolic of a fatal flaw in the relationship. They're wrong, but they love the philosophical melodrama. You don't need to join in the game, and they'll be glad you didn't.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Something elegant or beautiful, music, art, a book, a flower
• A sense of proportion
• A bit of stubbornness
• Sincerity

1. Is it something big? Then admit it, apologize sincerely and make amends. Taurus loves beauty, even if they see it in unusual places. If you know them well enough to make them truly angry, you know what matters to them and how to fix it. Do it.
2. Did you do something accidentally that upset their balance? Let them have their melodrama, then redirect their attention. A beautifully cooked meal, chocolate, beautiful flowers, anything elegant and beautiful will distract them from their snit.
3. Did Taurus do something that hurt you, or that you found unacceptable? If they know that, they'll probably retreat into a defensive posture. The other probability is that they will see the whole situation as a complete mystery and you as the one with the problem. Stand your ground. You have the right to your standards, and nobody that professes to care about you has the right to disregard your feelings. Don't pout, but do make your point.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember that Taurus can be absolutely unconscious. They may know that you're upset but sincerely be incapable of understanding why.
• On the other hand, Taurus seldom stays angry for long, so a little TLC and honesty generally fixes things quickly.
• Taurus are generally very broad-minded people. They are very good people. They aren't, however, always the deepest of people. That can work for and against you.
• You ALWAYS have to figure in the stubborn factor at the start of any disagreement with a Taurus.
