Aries

Aries are very competitive people, not only with themselves but with others as well. When it comes to relationships, they look for a partner who they see as a worthy competitor, someone who will push them to be better. However, Aries do not like to lose.

They want their partner to push them, but they will never let their partner win. Sometimes, they unwittingly crave a toxic dynamic where they constantly feel the need to outdo their partner. Creating drama helps them feel like they are “winning” in the relationship. As a fire sign, they love passion and heat, and in some ways, they enjoy it when their partner drives them crazy because it gives them the fuel to “win.”

Twins

Gemini is symbolized by the Tarot card "The Lovers". This may lead one to think that Geminis crave stability in romance, but this is not always the case. In relationships, Geminis represent both the highs of love and the painful lows because it makes the highs more rewarding and exciting.

They strive for an unrealistic love, where the lack of intense obsession and infatuation signals a lack of passion. Geminis can be two-faced at the worst of times, which sometimes causes drama. In their understanding, there is no love without hate. Toxicity is a means of strengthening their love for their partner and vice versa. They generally despise stability because it does not fit their duality. They find solace in chaos, whether they realize it or not.

A lion

It’s no secret to Leos that they love the validation that comes with attention. And frankly, we all want that to a certain extent. However, this often leads them to find themselves in toxic relationships with unfaithful partners. They love the chase because it helps them achieve the sense of validation they crave.

They want what other people want and enjoy being envied for their partner. But even if they get the partner they want, they spend the entire relationship fighting for that partner’s undivided attention. They enjoy the push-pull dynamic. They see games as a challenge and enjoy the adventure because they feel a deep need to “conquer” the competition.

Scales

Libra is symbolized by the Justice Tarot card, which means that they crave balance, order, and fairness. So you might assume that Libra doesn’t crave toxic relationships, but that’s far from the truth. The thing is, Libra loves to act as a moderator. They often find themselves mediating between two people who are in conflict because they love helping others find a compromise. In relationships, Libra secretly seeks toxicity because they want to feel like peacemakers.

They like the idea of ​​“fixing” their partner, even if it hurts their peace of mind. But usually, their partners don’t respond well to attempts to be “fixed,” which causes more toxicity and resentment on both sides. Libras find it difficult to leave such relationships because they feel responsible for their partner, and if the relationship starts to fall apart, instead of leaving, they put in more effort, otherwise they will see the unresolved conflict as a reflection of themselves.

Scorpion

When it comes to Scorpios, they love melodramatic love. For them, it's "until it kills us." They are quite intense people and apply this intensity to their relationships. As a result, their relationships are often unstable. They love as much as they hate.

This unconscious drive for toxic dynamics comes from a desire for renewal through emotional lows. Fixing what has been broken gives them a sense of rebirth. They secretly love drama in relationships because they believe that make-up sex is worth it. For them, sex is not just physical pleasure, it is a way to connect on a deeper spiritual level, so they think that problems are not always bad, even if they are.

Capricorn

Capricorns are symbolized by the Devil Tarot card, which means that they seek to enjoy the pleasures of the physical world. They see nothing wrong with indulging in their weaknesses occasionally. However, this can lead to getting stuck in toxic relationships. They are the embodiment of the phrase "test and learn." If they go too far, they become slaves to material pleasures, and this manifests in their love life in the form of toxic relationships.

They secretly love the intensity of toxic relationships, and as much as they say they hate drama and value directness, they really enjoy the mental games of these dynamics. It's a challenge for them. They enjoy trying to guess their partner's next move in order to outwit them and get ahead of them. Capricorns are not narcissistic manipulators by nature, they simply enjoy the game of mental gymnastics.

They almost become addicted to the ups and downs cycles because they want to experience every aspect of the human condition, even the painful ones. Capricorns are unlikely to ever initiate drama in their relationships, but if they feel attacked by their partner, they will respond tenfold. They want their partner to suffer as much or even more than they do sometimes.
