Fire Signs
We must never forget that all twelve astrological signs of the zodiac are represented by both quality and element. Remember that the qualities are how the signs tend to act and influence a person’s life and the elements represent the basic characters of those signs. The Fire Signs are represented by fire, which burns things. Fire views everything in its path as either a useful fuel or not, which is much how Fire Signs view the world and other people. The Fire Signs can be quite self-centered, stubborn, emotional, spontaneous, impulsive, dedicated, and imaginative. While many of the qualities associated with Fire Signs are not attractive, they can help you understand your true identity. The three Fire Signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.
Aries
Aries, ruled by Mars, is a cardinal fire sign. We should remember that Cardinal Signs tend to take action while Aries, on its own, tends to charge right in, like the ram that represents it. This sign in an astrological chart will show you where you are able to initiate action immediately, directly, and forcefully. Aries can be referred to as an explosion – active, strong, and forceful. The location of Aries in your horoscope, or astrological chart, will indicate one of the areas where you have the ability to plunge right in and take charge.
Leo
Leo, ruled by the Sun, is a fixed fire sign. Think back on what you know about Fixed Signs and what you know about the Sun. Fixed Signs tend to remain in one place, hold firm, and prefer that everything else around them move. The Sun is the center of the solar system with everything moving around it – so Leo is like the sunshine or even the lion (king of the jungle) that represents it. Because Leo is stubborn, there is the tendency to work very hard or to give up entirely. When you see this sign in your astrological reading, it will help you determine where you are creative and where you can really put your whole heart into something. The placement of Leo will also help you understand where you want to express yourself most, receive praise, and where you would want to be treated like royalty.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, is a mutable fire sign. Let us remember that Mutable Signs are the great communicators of the zodiac and are quite adaptable. It is the sign of wisdom and can be thought of as a candle in the dark. The Sagittarius influence causes us to look at the big picture and to take in where everything fits together, in every aspect of our lives. Additionally, Sagittarius inspires an inquisitive mind and the love of travel. The placement of this sign in your astrological chart will show you how and where you understand things the best, as well as how you make sense of it all. It will also indicate where you will feel the most optimistic and the safest.
