Here’s what being a fire sign is all about, from common characteristics to how people with fire-heavy birth charts can find balance. You can light a fire in your fireplace to keep you warm, but unchecked, fire can also burn your house down. Fire signs can be thought of in this way; they can be great, loyal friends to have—but you definitely don’t want to cross them. Fire is often associated with power and action, and for Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, those things come naturally. These zodiac signs tend to approach things at a much quicker pace than that of the more calculated and slow-moving earth and water signs. And because air fuels fire, these people are often drawn to air signs (along with fellow fire signs) who can keep up with their energy levels. “While fire burns out quickly without fuel to keep it going, it can also regenerate its power from the ashes,” the twins note. Long story short: When it comes to fire, think action, initiative, drive, impulsivity, and energy. Aries, Leo, and Sag can be super susceptible to burnout but also FOMO, so learn to listen to what you really need, and know you don’t have to do everything all the time. Maybe you’re always starting a million things, the twins say, for example, but lose steam once you have to deal with the practical details. Next time you want to dive into your next project or plan, take a moment to think about the logistics. As a cardinal sign (or the sign that starts each season), Aries people are very much self-starters, but whether they see their projects through is a whole other story. Nevertheless, you can count on an Aries to get the ball rolling and “get everyone into action like a team captain or five-star general,” the twins say. Like the Ram, Aries are known for being particularly headstrong. They need to watch out for holding a “my-way-or-the-highway” attitude and compromise when compromise is due. When their energy is balanced, though, these folks are brave, empowered, and independent. As a fixed sign that falls in the middle of summer, Leo has a good balance of that passionate, blazing energy fire signs are known for and the practical and hardworking energy of fixed signs. As the twins note, “When they get back home, they can really settle in—they like to be with their families. So they’re traditional but active and adventurous at the same time.” Symbolized by the lion, Leos are glamorous, bold, and brave and tend to be brimming with primal creativity. After all, the sun is all about life-force energy—and Leos are not afraid to show it off. They’re also a mutable sign, with Sag season landing at the end of fall. Mutable signs are known for tying up loose ends and perfecting final products. And according to the twins, the mutable fire combo makes them great team players who can spur others into action. They add that Sagittarius energy manifests through enlightenment, travel, and truth-seeking, with these people always looking to learn something new or take an exciting trip. They can also be a bit restless and may bite off more than they can chew. So, the twins add, they would do well to know their limits.
