Fire gives warmth, sexuality, and warms the blood. Fire is activity, making things happen, excitement, entertainment, liveliness, the swiftness of the arrow.

Fire is important if we are to act in the world. It is a renewing and purifying element. After forest fires have burned the ground, all sorts of new life forms emerge. Fire transforms, transmutes, changes, destroys, but creates the ground for new growth. Fire is also associated with a hot temper which is part of its martial or war-like aspect. Fire can provoke arguments, but brings us energy and new life and vigour. It is also the hearth Fire and the Sun on a summer’s day after long winter. The discovery of how to make fire was one of the greatest of human achievements and essential for the creation of civilization. It led to cooking, which has enabled us to enrich and broaden our diet. Cooking itself is rather like alchemy – a process of transmutation and change.

Fire is flamboyant and colourful. Fire’s passion can foster our love of life, creativity, indignation against injustice. Fire is freedom and passion; the energy and the warmth of love as well as the desire to consume. The risk-taking theme is another aspect of Fire – courage or recklessness depending on which way one views it. Fire is impatient. Once it gets going it does not stop until it has burned itself out. This is certainly true of Fire sign people on the whole.

We often relate intuition to fire. Insight and inspiration can come like the arrows of Sagittarius from out of nowhere to jolt us out of our rut!

Its zodiac signs are all or part animal – Aries the Ram, Leo the Lion, and Sagittarius the Archer.
