Fire signs in Astrology are exuberant in
their energy. They are stimulating,
independent and often self-motivated, but can at times become too intense when trying
to reach their objectives. Most are
energetic and enthusiastic and have a great drive to achieve. In general they are self-confident and rely
on themselves in most situations. They
are spontaneous in their reactions to life events and often impulsive; some can
even be rash in their decision making.
They enjoy a fast paced life and will zealously
go after what they want. The key is that they want it. They become quite motivated when in search
for something that holds their interest and will relentlessly pursue whatever
they have their sights on until they either have it or realize that they just
can’t have it. When they come to this
conclusion most fire sign people can shift and pick up the pieces and begin
again, often with just as much enthusiasm as with their first goal.
Those that are weak in the element fire can
easily become pessimistic with life and prefer to remain low-key and uninvolved
in life’s endeavours, unlike someone with an emphasis in fire. Those lacking fire are not overly expressive
and often can withhold themselves. Those
that feel that they have a shortage in some area of life, either become
restricted by life and choose to remain in the background, or become overly
expressive in order to move beyond these limitations.
Many lacking in fire need to be motivated
in order to achieve in life and will look to others to push them forward. Self-motivation can become a real
challenge. Being less involved than most
and not overly fascinated by life, these individuals can become depressed by
having no direction to follow and little push to succeed.
Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are all fire
signs and the angular houses, (the first, fourth, seventh and tenth houses) are
all driven by a want to achieve and move forward in life. These houses accentuate action and when these
cusps are involved in transit or progression, life happens.
I personally use a specific counting system
when defining whether there is an element that is emphasized or has a short
fall in a chart. I give the Sun and Moon
two counts each and the rest of the planets one count. I also give the sign on the ascendant and
midheaven one count and when a planet is between the 29th degrees in
one sign and 0 degrees of the next, both signed share one count in both
elements. Elements with a count of 6 and
higher are considered pronounced. If
there is a count of one or zero in a chart, these individuals would be
considered lacking in that element.
In determining if there is a weakness of
fire in a chart, you can use Mars in a fire sign to compensate for this
weakness, or if it is closely tied to an angle, this will soften the lack. Also if Mars is located in a fire house
particularly in the first house, or if it is conjunct to the Sun or if there is
an emphasis in cardinal, the fire element would not be considered to be lacking
in the birth chart.
