The twelve signs of the Zodiac are ruled by the elements of Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. The Fire Signs are influenced by the passionate element of Fire, and they have their own special traits. Some traits are positive ones, but others manifest as negative habits they have to work on to improve. Join SpiritualBlossom for an intimate exploration of the Earth Signs, their traits, and which signs they are compatible with in love.
What is a Fire Sign?
There are twelve signs in the zodiac, and they are classed in four elements. The elements are Fire, Earth, Air, and Water and these elements give the signs their traits they are famous for. The Fire Signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, and while they share similarities bestowed upon them by the element of Fire, they are unique gems of people whose traits are unforgettable. They are known for having a lot of stamina and needing to do a variety of fun things as well as having great senses of humor. They excel when they are working on things they enjoy and can feel constricted if they dislike what they have been tasked with. They can come across as argumentative, lazy, frivolous, and ruled by their desires, but they love deeply and just want to enjoy life.
What are Fire Traits?
Fire Signs can seem like contradictions. One minute, they seem like the life of the party, and the next minute, they can seem so angry they might burn the building down. To be fair, they are like any other sign, and they have positive traits, but also darker traits they work to improve. Fire Signs are enthusiastic and energetic, and they don’t shy away from stepping into the role as a leader. On the other hand, they can be overly insistent that they are the boss of everything and become overly concerned they might have to do what somebody else tells them to and go out of their way to be uncooperative. They seek autonomy but can’t stand to feel isolated. They make everything fun for other people, no matter how difficult the work may seem, but sometimes they can’t seem to be able to get serious about what they need to do for even a minute.
Positive Traits
Fire Signs are full of new, brilliant ideas, and they have the power to talk people into nearly everything. Their powers of persuasion are partly due to their enthusiasm, and partly due to their likability. They know just what to say and do to make everybody laugh, and they have the ability to make even the worst jobs tolerable because they know how to make sure everybody is having fun. They seem to have unlimited amounts of energy, and they don’t have a problem showing up before anybody else and being the last person to leave. They are natural born people pleasers, and they are genuine about their intentions. While they tend to thrive in crowds, they don’t emotionally attach to every last friendly acquaintance.
They are fiercely loyal to friends and lovers, and while they will keep their loved one’s secrets, they rarely, if ever keep secrets from the people who they love. They are honest and upfront about what they feel is important, and they won’t hold back opinions because they feel it would be unkind and dishonest if they did. They seem to get along with all people who want to enjoy life, and they are kind enough to invite lonely strangers, people down in their luck, and even ex-lovers along for the good times. They are tolerant of things society frowns upon and believe everybody deserves a fair chance to belong and be happy. They are also very good at cheering up people who are hurting, and they are quite generous. They are also gracious at accepting things from other people and make it their goal to make the world a happy place.
Dark Traits
As amazing as Fire Signs are, even they have imperfections. Their positive traits can turn dark sometimes. Their bright ideas will initially light a fire under them, and they will at first, enthusiastically work hard at making their ideas manifest into reality, but they sometimes grow bored, and find something else to do. This can make people think they are not serious about taking responsibility for things, and if they are called out on that, they get very defensive. It’s not that they are lazy, it’s just that their job is to create new things, and they need help sometimes seeing things through. They are not always good at asking for help with this, because if they bring people in to help, that means they might have to give up some independence, at least temporarily, and the idea of that terrifies them. They don’t mind yelling or cussing a blue streak at somebody before they think about what they are saying when they get upset, and as soon as they have calmed down, they are surprised whoever they have chewed out is mad or hurt.
Their honesty can be refreshing at best, and brutal at worst, and they can be downright tactless about how they express opinions nobody cares to hear. They are very good at wording these tactless opinions in ways that some people find funny, but other people feel made fun of. Sometimes, Fire Signs think it is hilarious when somebody is upset by something harsh they have said, and they go out of their way to say even more harsh things, and then wonder why people hate this about them. They sometimes put so much focus on being the class clown, the life of the party, and the social butterfly who is surrounded by large groups of admirers, they ignore close friendships while they are basking in all this attention. They will expect unquestioning loyalty from lovers, even if they are not being attentive to their romantic relationship and will threaten to dump their lovers if they question them.
The Fire Signs
So, who are these passionate, energetic people whose words of truth can build people up or break their hearts? While all the Fire Signs share traits, each sign is different, and has their own best and worst qualities. They are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius people.
Aries
Born between March 21 and April 19, Aries, being the first of the Fire Signs, is considered the last refined of the three. Their sign is the ram, and Aries, god of war and bravery. That just means they have the rawest, primal fire energy. They speak with authority and find themselves in charge oftentimes. Like the ram, they forge straight ahead, and plow into whatever they are applying their seemingly limitless energy to. Sometimes, this is from the need to burn off some energy, and they start fights when they don’t need to. They are fearless, and that’s a good thing sometimes. If you need somebody to break up a fight, call Aries, who is not scared to step in and who has the courage to withstand even the most powerful push backs to their efforts. If they lose their temper, they will give you a tongue lashing you will never forget, but the minute they cool off, they act like it never happened. People find it easy to forgive this, however, because Aries women and men truly love other people and their interest in other people earns them the love of many.
Leo
Leos are born between July 23 and August 22. Their symbol is the lion, and they think of themselves as the king or queen of their own world. They love luxury, and sometimes overspend money ensuring they are surrounded by what they believe is the finest things in life. Don’t assume they only lavish things on themselves, however, because they go out of their way to be generous with the people who they love. Comfortable in the spotlight, they impress people with their confidence, and strangers automatically gravitate towards them because of their charm and charisma. They love to teach and help people, and if they feel like somebody is misunderstood or mistreated, they will spring to action, taking them under their wing, and loving them forever. They are sensitive, and get their feelings hurt easily, but they would rather talk about problems and work things out than cut things off. If they feel like they have to cut things off with you, then you will never hear the end of it, and everybody who you know will find out how ungrateful they feel you were for all the love they gave you.
Sagittarius
November 22 and December 21 are the dates Sagittarians are born between. Their symbol is the centaur, a lusty creature of myth who loved sex, cavorting, and enjoying all forms of pleasure. Sagittarians are every bit like centaurs, and they believe life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured. Early in life, unless they find out what they believe their calling is, they may go to great lengths to resist responsibilities, but once they discover what they feel they are called to do, they will throw themselves into it, tirelessly giving all their energy to it. They are known for being adventurous and are always looking for new experiences and new places to go. They love making new friends, learning new things, and their quest to absorb as much as possible instills them with soulful wisdom they will share with those who care to listen. They can’t stand to feel trapped in jobs, relationships, places, or cycles, and will go out of their way to try to maintain freedom all their lives. They commit to people and things who accept their need for freedom and will take their loved ones along wherever they go.
Fire Signs and Love
The Fire Signs love passionately, and sometimes, they fall out of love just as quickly as they do in love, depending on who their lover is. They instinctively know who they like, and they become excited about relationships. They are not afraid to get involved before they know everything about somebody, but they respect themselves enough to know when it is time to cut things off. So, just which signs are Fire Signs most compatible with? Anybody who can respect a Fire Sign’s enthusiasm and energy makes for a good match with them, and Fire Signs don’t have an issue working through problems with people who they think are worth it.
Fire and Air
Some people assume Fire Signs overwhelm Air Signs, but they tend to get along quite nicely. While Air Signs prefer to focus more on harmonizing, and Fire Signs love the excitement of heated debates, the intellectualism of Air Signs makes it easy for them to turn debates into discussions, and Fire Signs appreciate this. Air Signs are also very good with new people, and Fire Signs seem to have an unending stream of new friends Air Signs can get along with. Both Air and Fire Signs love new experiences, and they find comfort in having a friend or lover to appreciate these experiences with. They grant one another all the freedom they want, and they can enjoy a long life together.
Fire and Earth
Fire and Earth Signs can butt heads. They both like to call the shots, and neither of them wants to be dominated, but for different reasons. Fire Signs need their independence, or they feel suffocated, and Earth Signs think their way is best. If these two headstrong signs can put their heads together and act as a team, the stamina of Fire Signs combined with the work ethic of Earth Signs can make them a perfect team. They just have to both set aside the need to be the boss, and work as partners. Then, they can be together forever.
Fire and Water
Fire Signs and Water Signs can be exact opposites, and sometimes, that’s not great. Water Signs are sensitive and emotional, and Fire Signs can steamroll right over those delicate feelings. It’s not that Fire Signs are insensitive – not on purpose at least. It’s just that Water Signs can focus so much on emotions, they dampen the fun for Fire Signs, and Fire Signs quest for the good times can feel soulless to Water Signs. However, when a Water Sign knows their Fire Sign cares about them, they will jump at the opportunity to have fun. Fire Signs will have to watch their blunt remarks, and Water Signs will have to overlook tactlessness from time to time, but they can work out these issues and have a great relationship.
Fire and Fire
Two Fire Signs together can be the envy of everybody else who wonders just what they do to make their relationship work so well. They can both lose their tempers from time to time, but they rarely hold grudges. They are understanding of one another’s best and worst traits and know how to soothe one another when they become impulsive. Sometimes, they enable one another’s bad habits, but they don’t mind. A relationship between two Fire Signs can be the perfect pairing, and these two will probably stay together for life.
The passionate, energetic fire signs will electrify you, leaving a lasting impression even if you don’t fall instantly in love with them. They are ambitious, enthusiastic, and you might be able to hear them coming before they enter the room. They won’t shrink away from a disagreement, and if you start a fight with them, they will probably finish it. They bring all their best and worst traits to the table, unashamed of who they are, and they will make you wish you had met them sooner. Fire signs make life interesting by creating new, fun experiences and if they love you, they will take you along for the ride. Lucky you!
