Duality of the Elements: The Essence of Life And a Force of Destruction

There are four classical elements in nature: Water, Fire, Air and Earth.

Each has its place in astrology, spirituality, magic and healing practices.

Witchcraft recognizes Spirit as one of the elements, and together, they represent each end of the Pentagram.

While Spirit is abstract, the other four elements are very real. We depend on them, breathe them, drink them, grow food from them and stay warm thanks to them.

They are the four sustainers of life. And at the same time, the greatest hazards.

The elements transcend everything else in our world. They are eterno, they preserve and destroy.

And despite humanity’s best efforts, there’s little we can do to truly control them.

The Fire Element in Astrology

Three signs of the zodiac are connected to Fire: Aries, Sagittarius and Leo.

Much like their element, these three signs are each bright and attention-grabbing in their own way.

They’re known to be passionate, adventurous and brave. 

If you have a Fire sign in your life, you must know them to be excellent in social gatherings. They’re fun, loud, curious and usually the life of the party.

They have the potential to be great friends and partners because they have the resolve to go through thick and thin for you.

Yet again, like their element, they can be too intense and consuming.

This may often lead them to starting or escalating conflicts. If you don’t have the stomach for them, frankly, they can be exhausting.

Fire Sun Sign

This means that your main zodiac sign is a Fire sign.

Your Sun sign shapes a major part of your personality, and it’s also said to be the essence of who you are as a person.

If for you this is a Fire sign, it means you’re a passionate, active and open individual.

You’re also proud, and loyal, e confident.

No entanto, you likely have a massive ego, which at times makes you take things too personally.

You’re impulsive, but this is also the root of your bravery and drive.

Fire Rising Sign

A rising sign governs the way other people perceive you.

With a Fire sign as your Rising, they probably see you as a flamboyant, extroverted and creative person.

Even if you might not be, that’s how you show up in the world.

Your insecurities don’t show easily, and you seem to others as a capable, strong person.

Fire Moon Sign

Your Moon sign is concerned with your emotions – how you perceive emotional things and how you express them.

Having a Fire sign as your Moon sign isn’t easy.

To make a comparison with fire, you constantly fluctuate between a flamethrower and a lighter.

You’re quick to fall in love and quick to stir drama and end things.

You are most likely easily offended, and prone to setting double standards nas vossas relações.

There is a lot of passion within you, but it’s very hard to keep under control.

Fire’s Compatibility With the Other Elements

It’s fun to observe the way we behave around the people born under different elements. 

To a degree, it’s like observing the literal elements come into contact with nature.

The reactions that come from these collisions are usually quite similar.

Fire and Water

This is a pairing that demands a lot of patience and balance to work.

Fire signs can be too intense for the emotional Water signs. There’s a real risk of drama and feelings being hurt.

Think of this within the frame of real life. Water can be warmed by fire to a comfortable, perfect temperature.

But left too long, it’s sure to boil over.

You should be very careful if you personally engage with a Water sign. 

They could overwhelm you and you could hurt them.

Fire and Earth

Fire and Earth signs have the right things in common to make amazing teammates and colleagues.

You’re both driven, ambitious and hardworking.

Mas no personal or emotional lane, you’d most likely have a lot of issues.

You as a Fire sign are too fiery for any Earth sign. They seek stability and security, so they’d feel very inseguro because of your temper.

Você, on the other hand, would likely feel stifled and held down by them.

Fire and Air

Air and Fire signs have a great potential for a balanced relationship – friendly or romantic.

You have your differences, but they’re the right kinds of differences!

You’re both passionate and devoted to the things you care about, and your emotions can be somewhat chaotic.

But where an Air sign lacks emotional expression, a Fire sign has more than enough to make up for it.

Air signs aren’t easily hurt and they often don’t take things personally. They’re pretty equipped to handle your fiery temper and get you to settle down.

Fire and Fire

This combination has some potential to work.

Two fire signs may understand each other. You share the same energy, you’re adventurous and expressive.

In romance, your mutual relationship is bound to be apaixonado acima de tudo.

There is one issue, though.

Se é both easy to anger e o seu egos clash, it could potentially turn realmente caótico realmente quickly.

You’d have to ser muito patient with each other and take your time to think before reacting.

Aries is the Cardinal Fire sign.

This makes Aries a natural leader. They’re driven, energetic and incredibly impulsive.

Aries has a strong sense of purpose and a strong will to see it through.

They’re the number one in the zodiac, and they mean to be the number one everywhere else.

Excessive anger is often mentioned as a negative trait, and it’s admittedly correct.

At times, they may come off as selfish, because they’ll start the harshest arguments whenever it suits them.

If you have a meaningful Aries in your life, I’m sure you sometimes feel like you must tread carefully not to wake the dragon.

But, on the other hand, they’re incredibly motivational and amusing people.

No matter how impulsive, they’re very devoted to their loved ones.

Sagittarius: The Thinker of the Zodiac

Sagittarius is the mutable Fire sign.

This makes them open to almost everything.

They’re passionate and devoted to countless things. They enjoy travel, adventure and learning.

If you mean to have a Sagittarius in your life, you’ll have to get used to their need for pursuit.

When they become obsessed with something, they’ll often go overboard in trying to see it through.

Other than this, they tend to be pretty chill, so to speak.

Sagittarians aren’t easy to anger, they love people and they love sharing.

Leo: The King of the Zodiac

Leo is the fixo Fire sign.

They know themselves, they’re resilient and committed.

Leos are best known for their prideful nature, but people usually oversee how caring and warm são eles.

They have a massive ego, let’s not lie to ourselves. But that doesn’t make them exclusively self-oriented.

A particular talent of theirs is making others feel great about themselves.

As a romantic partner, they’re generous, loving and above all passionate. They are a Fire sign at the end of the day.

However, they’re also quite jealous and demanding.

But hey, they know what they want – and they know they’re worth it.
