What does "fire sign" mean in astrology?
In the zodiac, fire is the first natural element ahead of earth, air, and water. The fire element represents strength, vitality and motivation of which natives are an inexhaustible source – they can impart it to other signs. Fire is recognized as a symbol of individualism, courage, resourcefulness and creativity, because it is a natural element that transforms matter. In fact, this element represents the energy of the will that burns deep within us. Willingness to be, to do, to transmit, to find, to have, to create … This need to constantly put oneself to the test denotes a temperament always in action.
However, people born under the sign of Aries or Leo or Sagittarius are not only bubbly – they are very intuitive and usually rely on their instincts. They believe in their own ambition, however, they tend to skip crucial steps or be unaware of the emotional impact of their actions. Impatient by nature, Fire Signs always go ahead, passionately pursue their goals, and never look back. Instead, they are always chasing the future.
However, they are differentiated by certain characteristics, as the element fire varies according to the season and affects the signs of the zodiac differently. That said, the fire signs are not totally different from the other elements: with the earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), they show tenacity, while the air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) share the dynamism and the extrovert side. Finally, with the water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), they have in common passion and fusional relationships.
Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are particularly daring signs – you could say they love to play with fire! The element of fire is an energy of force, of conquest, which is connected with this desire to face the world. In astrology, the air signs are considered to have an "active" polarity, which corresponds to a more masculine energy, associated with Yang, because we identify in these signs qualities and defects that would prevail more in men than in women. .

Aries (March 21 – April 20): "mobile and impetuous" fire sign
The fire of the sign of Aries is defined as mobile and impetuous, because it introduces spring and that time of year when the duration of sunshine is considerably lengthened. Indeed, from the second half of March, the climate changes dramatically and nature wakes up, ready to start afresh. Aries is directly influenced by the planet Mars, a symbol of impulsiveness and energy, which explains its warlike and passionate nature, especially in love. For this reason, Aries represents the energy of all beginnings and leadership: he rushes forward without thinking twice.
Qualities :
Endowed with surprising vitality and courage, Aries are very resourceful and dynamic, able to accept new challenges and constantly strive to overcome them. Never discouraged, even in the face of failure, he always gets up to start over. He doesn't hold a grudge: if you've hurt him, he'll quickly move on. Moreover, his inner strength is also reflected in optimism and spontaneity, as well as a fervent passion both in love and in life in general.
Defaults :
This tendency to accept new challenges leads Aries to behave in a very competitive way, sometimes too much. In addition, he easily indulges in impulsiveness, impatience and even irascibility, due to the strong and predominant characteristics of the fire element. He has the art of irritating by his raw and dry appearance: he is accused of lacking softness and diplomacy.
Love compatibility:
In love, he is a specialist in love at first sight, and quickly ignites like an inferno: he appears very aware of his feelings, but even more of his desires. In a relationship, Aries needs a partner who knows how to take care of him without depriving him of his independence. This explains why Gemini seems perfect to him, because he is just as freedom-loving as he is, just like Aquarius. Aries develops affinities, in love as in friendship, with Leo, Sagittarius and Libra (his complementary sign) thanks to their many common points.
Incompatible signs: earth signs and water signs, especially Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces
Astrological house: House I (the ego and the outer personality)
Associated precious stones: ruby, red jasper, onyx
Metal : iron

Leo (July 23 – August 22): "fixed" fire sign
Unlike that of Aries, the fire of Leo is fixed, because it is anchored in the heart of the summer season. It represents a stable fire, but self-centered. Also, since it is a summer fire, it is at its peak and gives off a lot of heat. He is not really influenced by a planet, but by a dwarf star, which is the Sun, a symbol of passion, energy, as well as vanity and arrogance. He likes to show off himself in a way that feels like a court revolves around him like the planets around the Sun.
Qualities :
In general, the Leo is known and recognized for his generosity and his pride. These two qualities become indisputable when the Leo is in the company of his loved ones, where he is distinguished by his charisma and radiant energy. For this reason, the native of the sign of Leo is a perfect leader, always there to raise the bar when a difficulty threatens him and those around him. Also a hedonist, he loves life and its pleasures, but enjoys sharing: he is very charitable and benevolent.
Defaults :
His strong personality and the influence of the Sun often lead him to remain overly focused on himself – especially his appearance – which makes him conceited and self-centered. Used to being obeyed, his desires are orders and beware of those who dare not to comply with their will. Then, like other fire signs, he has a tendency to become easily aggressive and cranky, although his ascendant can appease this aspect.
Love compatibility:
In love, he is a hot-blooded seducer who enjoys conquest, but at the same time, who enjoys the prospect of a tidy family life. Like Aries, Leo gets along very well with air signs, be it Gemini or Libra, but also and especially Aquarius a.k. has its complementary sign. The air signs bring him some peace of mind, as they have a fairly mild temperament (enough to lessen his irascible character!). In general relationships, whether romantic or friendly, Leo feels great around other fire signs, as well as Virgo and Capricorn.
Incompatible signs: Taurus, Cancer, and Pisces
Astrological house: House V (love and pleasures)
Associated precious stones: diamond, amber, yellow quartz
Metal : gold

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21): "metaphysical" fire sign
Sagittarius fire is characterized by its mobility as it is intended to light up the darkness of late autumn as well as the beginning of long winter nights. In astrology, the fire of this sign is called "metaphysical" because, compared to that of Aries and Leo, Sagittarius tends to look more beyond the earthly world. Jupiter, symbol of success, energy, youth, but also pride, rules this adventurous and freedom-loving sign. In addition to its complex spiritual dimension, it has a bourgeois and conventional side which comes up against a wild and untamed side.
Qualities :
Both extroverted and altruistic, Sagittarius exudes positivity and their generosity that characterizes them shows a great spirit of initiative. These skills lead him to develop a strong taste for travel, to discover new things, and to meet new people. He maintains a cheerful and pleasant demeanor which makes him a good company. This sign is proving to be independent, playful, and most of all lucky. It indicates prophetic dreams and gives them a certain protection: it brings good luck.
Defaults :
Sagittarius gladly accepts new challenges, but it can quickly lead them to behave in a naive and impulsive manner. He also has trouble keeping his commitments, because he promises, promises and quickly moves on. In addition, his honesty most of the time turns into a lack of diplomacy: often judgmental, he sometimes utters offensive remarks (without realizing it at the time), mainly due to the influence of Jupiter.
Love compatibility:
In love, he is quite paradoxical: he dreams of finding a soul mate, and at the same time, he often behaves like a Don Juan in search of a thousand pleasures. Unlike the other two fire signs, an intense love affair can occur between Sagittarius and the water signs, such as Cancer or Pisces. It blossoms gracefully in love as well as in friendship with air signs, such as Aquarius or its complementary sign, Gemini. A great relationship can emerge with the other fire signs as well, as well as Virgo (although very different).
Incompatible signs: Taurus, Scorpio, and Capricorn
Astrological house: House IX (spiritual elevation and the stranger)
Associated precious stones: garnet, blue quartz, emerald
Metal :tin
