Fire. Just by saying this word you immediately feel warm, cozy, and pleasantly engaged. Wildfire. This word, on the other hand, evokes a sense of anxiety, apprehension, and foreboding. You know, as these two emotional responses are mutually exclusive, there is a group of people that evoke a weird mixture of them nonetheless. And these people all have the Zodiac sign associated with the element of fire. Curious to know more about these joyful but slightly dangerous sparks? Then follow us on a journey to discover all about the fire signs in astrology. 


What Are Fire Signs Anyway?

It is the general rule of thumb for us to start with the fundamental things, so let’s first answer the question: what are the fire signs in astrology? Well, these are - in their chronological order regarding the year cycle - Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Even though people born under these constellations could be drastically different in terms of personalities, they will still have certain qualities about them that will be eerily similar. What’s more interesting, these common traits within this fire Zodiac group will still have a unique way of manifesting themselves. Feel a bit confused? We’ll elaborate in a minute.


What Does Fire Mean in Astrology?

This categorization of Zodiac signs dates back to the ancient times when the astrologers wanted to establish some sort of order within the Zodiac system. The idea of linking the signs to the Aristotelian elements made sense to them, as the elements' cycle matched well with the year cycle. They used a convoluted system to categorize the signs that we are not going to get into now, as it is a tale for another day. 

Thanks to their efforts, we now have the 12 Zodiac signs divided into four groups, all attributed to different elements. It turned out to be a unifying theme for various systems since there are water, air, earth, and fire signs in both Vedic astrology and Western astrology.

So what do the fire signs have in common? Well, first off, the people who have these Sun signs are lively, attention-seeking, and full of passion and utter boldness. They are natural-born leaders and have a neck for inspiring people through their courage and zest for life. Sounds too positive to be true? Well, there are shortcomings of the fire signs as well. Let’s now take a look at them one by one.   


What Are the Fire Signs Really Like?

Fire signs in astrology are as magnetic as they are perplexing. So what makes the Arieses, Leos, and Sagittariuses of the word such a divisive group of people? Time to find out.


Aries. “I’m Always Right”


This sign kicks off the year cycle and seems to relish the privilege of being the first. With a ram as their symbol, such people are hot-headed, stubborn, and comically goal-oriented. They are way too tough to be broken and way too arrogant to admit that they make mistakes. A failure to analyze their missteps to do better next time sometimes costs them success. 

As the spring heralds among the fire signs in astrology, Aries people are contagiously optimistic which sees them through even the toughest of times. The only thing that seems to have power over them is how their dear and near treat them. Disregard and criticism break them, whereas praise and support give them wings. 

A man born under this constellation is the epitome of power and self-confidence. There is no way he is going to follow other people’s orders. Such men have an almost childlike desire to prove themselves to others. 

A  woman with the Sun Aries has way too much energy that she can make proper use of. That is why you can always see her engaging herself in strange endeavors. She is lively, headstrong, and at times aggressive. 


Leo. “I’m Above You”


What can you say about this fire sign in astrology based on its symbol, the lion? They can be imperious, lazy, impervious to others. But it’s not to say that this sign does not have its merits. The Leos are generous, artistic, and capable of firmly setting their boundaries. There is a peculiar trait most of the Leos seem to share - they are so sure that all the good the world has to offer is theirs by birthright that they rarely make any real attempt to gain it by themselves.   


Although tough and imposing on the outside, these people are fairly vulnerable on the inside. They are bound to have great physical health and immense energy resources. 

A man with the Leo sign just needs to be lauded by everyone. They are extraverted, outgoing, and proud. As a romantic partner, they are capable of nothing short of love-bombing their significant other. But at the same time, they are utterly short-tempered and jealous. 
 
A female Leo is charismatic beyond measure. She is graceful, attractive, and strong-willed. Her impressive self-confidence however is not repellent as she always treats others with warmth and kindness. Should a man fall for her, he is expected to shower her with expensive gifts and beautiful gestures. 


Sagittarius. “I Need Freedom”


Now, what is the meaning of this fire sign in astrology? With an archer as its symbol, the Sagittarius is all about truth, freedom, and a quest to find the meaning of life. These people can be either honorable and idealistic to a fault or greedy and conniving. Regardless, they are everyone’s favorite friend and the life and soul of a party. 

The Sagittariuses are mostly kind towards other people but sometimes struggle to keep their truth-spewing mouths shut. They react badly whenever their god-given freedom (both psychical and spiritual) is threatened. Another shortcoming of theirs is their unstable enthusiasm - they ride high on it when they start a project, but once it wanes, they lose all interest in what once was important. 

A male Sagittarius is talkative and wears his heart on his sleeve. Although far from a completely stable and level-headed person, he still displays incredible patience towards others and is quick to forgive their imperfections. He is always looking for a person to have long, poignant, philosophical conversations with.

A woman with this Sun sign is the embodiment of friendliness. She is altruistic and always ready to help. Yet, there is something too straightforward about her manner that might confuse certain people (especially suitors).

So now that you have a clearer understanding of what fire signs in astrology are and what traits they possess, wouldn’t you be willing to have a look at how fire spirits react to other elements? Then let’s have a peek at what signs are the best matches for fire signs in astrology.


Aries’ Most Compatible Signs


  • Aries. Two rams in one relationship? Why not! While a bit brash, this union will still have a lot of passion and mutual engagement if the partners find a way to avoid clashing. 
  • Leo. Two fire signs will burn bright. Such people will have a common outlook on life and a thirst for adventure. Since Leo is a lot less stubborn, there will be less friction between the parties.
  • Gemini. Aries’ passion for all things new and exciting will match Gemini’s extroverted, curious nature. This union will be marked with fascinating intellectual connections.
  • Libra. What can calm an agitated Aries better than a balanced, serene Libra? This will be a strong harmonious union.


Leo’s Most Compatible Signs


  • Sagittarius. This relationship of twin flames will be full of adventure and exploration, both of the outer world and their inner worlds as well.
  • Gemini. Two extraverts will have a blast together. A fun and dynamic duo, they are bound to be not just romantic partners, but BFFs as well.
  • Leo. Speak of a power couple, right? It is a union full of passion, mutual admiration, and a larger-than-life attitude.
  • Libra. Libras are ready to praise and laud the Leos. And Leos are ready to accept the praise. Everyone’s happy. 


Sagittarius’ Most Compatible Signs


  • Gemini. These signs oppose each other on the zodiac cycle but complement each other in life. This is a union marked with intellectual compatibility and a lack of interpersonal drama.
  • Libra. These two will have tons of shared interests. Libra’s fairly easy-going which desperately attracts the freedom-seeking Sagittarius.
  • Aries. Two adventurous personalities with a passion for independence? Sign these two up!
  • Sagittarius. Only a fiery archer can understand a fellow fiery archer. This partnership will be all about learning and experiencing new things. Together. 


What Are the Least Compatible Signs for the Fire Trio?

Now, let’s have a cautious look at those people that the fire signs shouldn’t invest their time in according to astrology. Here’s the list of signs that the fire trio should give a wide berth to. 


Aries’ Least Compatible Signs


  • Cancer. Cancerians are highly emotional and prone to be homesick. There is no way they would withstand Aries' passionate love attacks and adventures. 
  • Capricorn. Nothing good will come out of a clash of two-horned beasts. Both of them are too stubborn for their good. 
  • Pisces. There could be an attraction at first, but Aries will soon grow tired of the Pisces’ passiveness. 
  • Taurus. Do you know why Earth signs are attracted to fire signs in astrology? It’s a trick question. They aren’t! In the case of yet another pair of horned creatures, the calm and passive Taurus (earth) will soon get frustrated by the volatile nature of Aries (fire).


Leo’s Least Compatible Signs


  • Capricorn. Capricorns tend to be detached and cool-natured. This doesn’t sit well with the outgoing, passionate Leos. The only common ground between them is the level of ambition, but in what world could this be a foundation of a stable relationship? 
  • Scorpio. While they could be attracted to each other, this attraction could be symbolically fatal to both parties. A common trait like loyalty won’t be able to hold this union together. 
  • Virgo. Leos need to be adored. Virgos tend to criticize. Need we say more?  
  • Pisces. Hot-headed Leos just love making things clear between the partners. Pisceans prefer to find behind their scales and leave things just as they are.   

Sagittarius’ Least Compatible Signs


  • Virgo. Practical and precise Virgos will have a hard time convincing a free-minded Sagittarius to calm the heck down and finally do the dishes. Besides, there is nothing more alienating for a methodical Virgo than a spontaneous partner. 
  • Taurus. In terms of the speed at which they live their lives, the archers are like lightning, the bulls are like snails. They won’t go far together.
  • Canсer. Cancerians need stability, both financial and emotional. Sagittariuses need to go out into the wild and explore, stability be damned!
  • Pisces. While these two might connect on an intellectual level, their emotional connection will be non-existent. Pisces are just a trifle too emotional for a truth-telling Sagittarius, to put it mildly. 





And there we go - we have just covered the three fire signs. In case you are one, we hope you have gained a bit more understanding of what traits left by the fire element run in your veins.
