♉Taurus(Earth Fixed)
Taurus Digs Their Heels In: Coping in Love 🐂🛑
That famous Taurus stubbornness – it's real! While it fuels their loyalty, it can create relationship roadblocks.
How It Manifests:
- Resisting Change: Difficulty adapting to new plans, routines, or partner's ideas.
- "Because I Said So": Shutting down discussion once their mind is made up.
- Holding Grudges: Slow to forgive perceived slights or breaches of trust.
- Comfort Zone Addiction: Unwillingness to try new restaurants, activities, or ways of doing things.
- Ignoring Advice: Believing their way is the only right way.
Tips for Partners:
- Pick Your Battles: Is this really worth the standoff?
- Appeal to Logic & Senses: Frame changes around practical benefits or increased comfort/pleasure. Facts work better than emotional pleas.
- Introduce Change SLOWLY: Small, gradual shifts are easier for them to accept.
- Don't Push When They're Dug In: Back off, let them cool down. Revisit later calmly.
- Lead by Example: Gently try new things yourself; they might follow eventually.
- Validate Their Need for Security: Acknowledge why they resist change before suggesting alternatives.
It requires patience and understanding their need for stability that underlies the stubbornness.
