Fire’s energy is directed outwards and upwards. It is the energy of Summer. Fire gives us warmth and controls our relationships, opening our heart to the ones we love and protecting it from being hurt. It has an inherent ability to sort ‘pure’ from ‘impure’.

People whose element is Fire are warm and joyful and communicable. They bring the warmth of the summer to people around, when they are in good shape they are bright and funny, joking and laughing, making everybody laugh, making sure that everyone’s happy. Love takes the main place in their lives. Their openness makes them vulnerable and they often use laughter as their protection.
