While every zodiac sign has specific and unique traits, signs that share an element also share other similarities. For instance, while Virgos and Capricorns approach the world in a much different manner, their standing as Earth signs indicates responsibility, pragmatism, and grounding.
No element, however, is as spicy as Fire.
Fire signs are a bit wild, and that’s what we’re going to talk about today: everything you need to know about Fire signs. If you’re a Fire sign yourself, this guide will help you understand more about how you tick; it can be equally useful, however, for anyone who has a Fire sign or two in their life.
Keep reading if you’ve ever been curious or wanted to learn more about this toasty element.
The Element of Fire
Fire signs include Aries (the Cardinal sign), Leo (the Fixed sign), and Sagittarius (the Mutable sign). Each of these signs behaves differently, yet they share similarities – brought together by their heat.
Fire invites a sense of spontaneity or impulsivity. Think about how quickly you would probably move when accidentally burned by a hot surface or flame; this sense of urgency can hit a Fire sign at a moment’s notice. The flame within acts as a guide, inciting passion and burning a path into the ground ahead. When Fire signs commit to something, they do so with a sense of fever and enthusiasm.
Fire signs do not typically engage in activities that do not inspire them or light them from within.
If their Fire becomes dampened or stomped out, they will lose their sense of focus and drive. It’s important that those born under this element seek hobbies, careers, and relationships that ignite their passion and keep them in a state of curiosity and wonder.
Burning Rage
Think of the phrase “burning rage,” and you will better understand the moods and tempers of Fire signs. While many Fire signs work hard to control their tempers, they are nevertheless prone to outbursts of passionate or intense emotions, which may then pass just as quickly as they came. Much like a burning wildfire, you can never know exactly in which direction the flame will burn.
It isn’t that Fire signs are angry people. In fact, they tend towards optimism and enthusiasm when approaching life. Their passion can take both positive and negative forms. And when that passion runs wild, without limitation or boundaries, it can turn into fiery or upsetting emotions.
It’s important that Fire signs connect to the other elements as well, spending time near or in bodies of Water to soak in the emotional healing or using meditation to root themselves in the Earth and promote a sense of grounding. Studying, learning, and writing connect them to their intellectual side, which is ruled by Air.
While Fire is a beautiful element that burns bright, it can be better maintained when connected to the other elements.
The Sixth Sense
Fire signs are connected to their instincts, that same part of them that may lead to impulsivity or spontaneity. They possess an intuition that guides them and gives them the confidence to take risks and try new things.
A Fire sign may seem reckless to the average bystander, but they are led by their spirit and its wisdom. Their intuition is powerful and connected to the Universe, to the Divine. If you are a Fire sign, you must learn to sharpen those intuitive skills, as they will take you far in life, on grand adventures.
Lust for Life
The same heat that leads to a passionate outlook also gives Fire signs their lust for life. They want to experience all that life has to offer, tasting every cuisine and traveling the corners of the world. If you spend enough time near a Fire sign, you might find that spark rubbing off on you.
You could say that Fire signs are the life of the party, but it might be more accurate to say that Fire signs bring the party with them. Like the bonfire that everyone crowds around on a chilly evening, Fire signs provide a warmth that fills the room and infuses it with light.
The Fire Signs
Aries
Aries is ruled by Mars, an assertive planet that encourages ambition and forward motion.
This ruling planet, along with Aries’ placement as the Cardinal Fire sign, make Aries the go-getter of the zodiac. Mars can also indicate aggression, making Aries a bit defensive at times. This sign may feel combative or competitive towards others; however, grounding practices like yoga and meditation can assist in emotional balance and harmony.
Aries, don’t let anyone stand in the way of their desires; just try to be gentle with others on your way to the top.
Leo
Leos are the Fixed Fire sign, ruled by the powerful Sun. Think about the amount of attention and focus the Sun gets, and then imagine the magnetism of the Leo personality. The Sun provides warmth and life, much as Leos brings a sparkle and a piece of joy to those around them. As such, Leo’s energy desires attention from others, and Leo may end up putting too much stock into the opinions of others.
If you can learn to reduce your need for approval and allow your light to shine regardless of what others think, you’ll find your way to your goals and dreams.
Sagittarius
Ruled by expansive Jupiter, few signs seem to share the same luck and fortune as the Sagittarius.
Jupiter enjoys giving blessings and abundance, making it quite a charming ruling planet. This sense of luck, however, can lead to laziness on the part of the Sag. Your far-reaching goals may not come to fruition if you don’t take actionable steps toward them. While responsibility may not be your strong suit, your jubilant personality is a joy to be around, and your charm will win many people over.
Sticking to a plan or a routine will help you gather the momentum to tackle the dreams at which you point your bow and arrow.
Stoking the Flames
Learning to appreciate your fiery nature will help your light grow and expand, shining on those around you. Don’t deny your fire, learn how to feed and maintain it.
