Fire doesn’t ask for permission. It roars to life, wild and hungry. You’ve felt it when your heart raced with excitement, when your eyes lit up with purpose, when your whole body buzzed with desire to do something. Fire is that spark.

Across cultures, fire has symbolized transformation and passion. It’s the sacred flame in temples, the hearth at the center of home, the wild bonfire that gathers community. It destroys, yes—but only to make space for the new.

According to Debra Silverman, Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are the natural-born leaders, storytellers, and motivators. They’re the ones lighting up the room, chasing the horizon, daring to leap where others hesitate. They’re not afraid to be bold, to start something from nothing.

But Fire can burn too hot. It can scorch. Without direction, it becomes anger, restlessness, ego. That’s why Fire needs to pause, to reflect, to find joy in the moment—not just the chase.

When you feel dimmed or uninspired, turn to Fire. Light a candle with intention. Dance until your heart races. Write a truth you’ve been afraid to say. Fire reminds you that you’re alive—and life was never meant to be lukewarm.
