Fire is the most primary of elements – hot, volatile, creative, dramatic. The double-fire type is intensely passionate and lives from a very self-centred perspective. That is, he approaches life according to his keenly-felt beliefs and visions of what could be and what is truth for him. The double-fire type may be so in tune with his inner reality that he becomes insensitive to others. Frequently his relationships suffer from his lack of awareness that others might not have such a strong sense of destiny. Whatever his interests might be, this individual throws himself into life with enormous enthusiasm, often bumping into and scattering others in the process.

When Aneurin Bevan described Winston Churchill – a double-Fire type (Sun Sagittarius, Moon Leo) – he summed up the problems of the pure-Fire combination:

The seven league boot tempo of his imagination hastens him on to the sunny uplands of the future, but he is apt to forget that the slow steps of humanity must travel every inch of the weary road that leads there.

There is about the double-fire type all that one associates with the imagery of fire – it burns, it roars, and it waits for nothing. This type can be brash, arrogant and impatient, but also inspiring and childlike with an immense capacity for enjoying life and persuading others to believe in themselves and to ‘have a go’. This type will often sense the hidden opportunity in a situation, and his belief that anything is possible is the magic ingredient behind his natural leadership qualities. Never mind the fact that he needs plenty of lackeys to make it all happen in the concrete world, he has the vision – the rest is incidental!
