How many of you have heard about energies, have heard comments from your friends about those who absorb energies, or have been told: “get away from so-and-so because he is a toxic person”, “he squeezes your energy “,” he steals your energy and takes away your peace”? There are so many similar expressions that reach our ears and hearts, and surely have something or a lot of reason and obviously a logical explanation.
At this point it is good to remember that the world is a mixture of cultures, ways of thinking, feeling and acting, which makes us relate to a great many of individuals with different personalities and ways of acting, which in many cases provide us with wonderful moments and in many others that torment us and take away our peace, joy and even the desire to move on.
These situations arise in any type of relationship; from possessive and obstinate parents, spoiled and rebellious children, jealous and imposing boyfriends, or even worse, husbands who think they own you, who want to dominate you and see themselves same as the heads and kings of the home, the untouchables, whom should be pleased in everything and cannot be contradicted. But, friends, let’s be clear, there are also women like that, right?
But, to understand more this topic that becomes interesting, we are going to turn to astrology, to the knowledge that this discipline gives us about signs of the zodiac which we talk so much about and that surely many of the readers of this article have some information about. Therefore, it is well known that there are zodiacal signs that tend to present characteristics or personalities that are truly toxic and exhausting, and for a reason are known as “emotional vampires”, since they usually take every opportunity to absorb all the positive energy.
This type of people does everything possible to control you, impose their power and domain, so they use tools such as constant criticism of your behaviour, tastes, preferences and even ideals, question all your decisions, often make tasteless jokes, even in front of other people to make you feel ashamed; in other words, they hurt your dignity, humiliate and underestimate you, they become a headache that brings many negative things to your life and very few positive things.
However, it is not easy to leave them when it comes to parents or children, but if you have a boyfriend like that, send him to hell and if he is your husband, the thing is more complicated, but put a limit on the situation.
Considering the above, we will now describe some characteristics of the signs considered by the experts in astrology as the most toxic ones of the zodiac:
Let’s start with Scorpio, considered by many specialists in the field as the most complicated, absorbent and toxic sign to have a relationship with because when it shows its dark side, it is able to resort to anything to leave you ill before others, so you must be careful of what you say, since he will not think twice to use it against you, making you spend a lot of bad times.
Scorpios tend to be manipulative people who handle conflict situations at will, and can show themselves behind a mask of cordiality and affection, when in reality they are sticking his dagger in your back without compassion. Because of this, they become toxic and treacherous if they bring out the worst of themselves, to the point of being able to convince others that the other person is the one who originated the conflict thanks to his great histrionic capacity and his ability to manipulate, making see that the “fault is of the cow”, all, except he (she) is to blame.
And if we talk about Aries, we have to say that they are usually self-centred and love to be the centre of attention, which is not all bad as long as they do not take the worst out of themselves, because they are there to make others look bad in order to make themselves be considered the best, the most cheerful and fun, those who know everything; that is why they manipulate and impose their criteria to make others feel that they are not worth or that their criteria are inferior to his (her) and they become very absorbing.
They do so by resorting generally to their verbal capacity, expressing sentences with the intention of hurting, trying to influence people psychologically, but even many of them may be able to reach physical abuse. If it is about conflicts or situations in which there is an argument, Aries will say exactly what they think without clumsiness or remorse, because in that sense they are quite honest, but let’s say that many times they do not use the right words and hurt without caring, so it is extremely complicated to reason with them.
Another important detail is that the beloved Aries are highly explosive, not in vain they are represented in the zodiac by the ram, which makes them explode at any moment and surprise you with an attack of rage in just minutes after having been apparently normal and carefree; these unforeseen mood swings make them see as someone emotionally unstable that generates conflicts from nothing, which makes people who love them suffer and in many cases, get tired and leave them.
Our meticulous natives of Virgo, with the touch of apparent perfection that they try to disguise, can become one of the most abusive signs of the whole zodiacal wheel, and it is precisely that mania to correct everything and think that their obsession with details gives them the right to underestimate others which makes them unbearable at times if they reach the extremes.
This excessive constant criticism of what others do, their ways of doing things, their ideas, their ways of expression and so on, makes many prefer to move away, although if they control that simple detail in their lives and become more flexible, they can be excellent hosts, with a great sense of humour and perfect for sharing.
But, Virgo friends, pay attention, stop being so critical, absorbing and meticulous, stop telling your loved ones and the rest of the mortals, their flaws and faults (according to you), and you will surely be the kings of the celebrations, of the meetings, and you will be able to make more contributions in a group, in the family, and especially in your love relationships, because you have enough sociability to win the sympathy of many people.
As for the people of Sagittarius, if they step on that dark side that we all have, they can become typical absorbers of your energies and it is popularly said, drive you to an early grave; they can get there because after their apparent coolness and freshness, they hide a whirlwind of rage that if they do not control, it is capable of moving everything around them.
In this state a Sagittarius offends with his hurtful words, he can become verbally and physically violent, and although not as volatile as Aries, whose changes are more frequent and drastic, they also become demanding and bossy, and they emotionally try to make others feel inferior.
On the other hand, some Sagittarians can also absorb your energies with their usual self-assurance, because they can become irresponsible, and sometimes take things so cool that they drive anyone crazy, and this is a way of absorb the energies of another, since while he (she) is laughing and happy, the other person may be taking on a responsibility that corresponds to him, or they miss the appointments they made with you without any reasonable explanation and then they get angry because you claim them, and that usually happens repeatedly.
Those of the sign of Aquarius tend to be very controlling and absorbent, and sometimes they transmit bad energy to everyone around them, absorbing others’ energy with their attitudes and behaviour. This absorbing nature means that they try to impose themselves so that others feel that they are the boss and the rest must pay attention to them, and in case they fulfil roles of parents, boyfriends or husbands, they will surely feel and act like the others’ owners, with the right to control all kinds of situations.
If that dark side of the Aquarius appears, they can become insensitive people who do not care to value others’ feelings, while they hide a rebellious spirit manifested through attitudes of revenge and evil behind that apparent calm if situations reach the extremes, generating explosive and exhausting arguments that leave you without energy.
At this point, we must also mention Taurus, that with great reason is represented by a bull, since they “take out their horns” literally when they are contradicted; they become obstinate, stubborn, foolish and when they feel that they have lost in their land, they are incapable of admitting the other is right, and for that reason they “roar” like true wild bulls, that is, they simply become very explosive, to the point of reaching verbal and even physical violence.
But, the fact that other people dedicate themselves to absorb our energies, that does not mean that we should let them do it, that is, that the main responsible for that happening is us; an absorbing, possessive and explosive sign needs a weaker and submissive sign on its side to get his own away, so it all depends on how you handle the situation on the other side of the conflict.
On the other hand, we must clarify that here we present the description of the most absorbing signs of the zodiac according to our perspective, but other signs not mentioned could become more absorbing; everything depends on the degree of evolution of each individual, since we have emphasized very well in this article that these absorbing and explosive reactions occur when the dark side of each sign manifests itself, and if that person knows how to control that side, all his positive characteristics and virtues come to the surface.
