The Fire Element in Astrology

What is the element of fire in astrology?

The element of Fire is represented in the birth chart through Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. 

Fire is the life-giving force, indicating energy, action, ardour, and creativity.

Fire is self-expression and spirit. It represents ceaseless activity.

It is not difficult to perceive fire as the element of passion and enthusiasm.

Fire people tend to inspire others. Their self-assertiveness makes them able leaders, for they strongly believe in themselves.

What is the significance of having a lot of fire in your birth chart?

People with a lot of Fire (6 or more counts) are inclined to invest themselves fully in their activities. They may have difficulty perceiving other people as separate individuals, with their own needs and desires. These people enjoy taking risks, or rather, it doesn’t occur to them that there is a risk. They don’t see themselves as courageous because they are not aware that there is anything to be afraid of. They are motivated by the idea of being actively involved in something and retaining a feeling of being alive.

Fire is the element of spirit, warmth and life and those with fire predominating in their charts are famous for their powerful imagination and their zest for living.

When it comes to the emotional realm, they are adventurous, dramatic and flamboyant, and lavish gestures and grand passions are their stock in trade. But they can have problems concentrating on the here and now, as the future, not the present or the past, is what concerns them. And, because their imagination is so vivid, they can find it hard to tell the difference between dreams and fantasies and their real feelings- or to settle down to what they see as dull routine.

What is the significance of having little or no fire in your birth chart?

People with little Fire (0 or 1 counts) alternate between withholding themselves and expressing themselves in an overly dramatic manner. They may struggle with self-motivation, enthusiasm, and taking initiative and may look to others for inspiration and motivation. They may become mired in a hectic schedule of impersonal activities or may, in contrast, become overly preoccupied with their own personal experience. They often feel passive and detached or uninvolved; they seek deeper personal and emotional involvement in life. =
