The astrology chart is made up of four sources of data: the astronomical bodies (Sun, Moon, planets, and asteroids) and calculated points (Nodes of the Moon, Part of Fortune, and so on); the Signs; the Houses; and the Aspects. The bodies and points, Signs, and Houses are ruled by one of the four elements. The Aspects have no element assigned to them.

The Fire Points in the Sky (Sun, Moon, Planets, and Asteroids)

The Sun (star), Mars (planet), and Jupiter (planet) are the Fire points. The Sun rules Leo and the 5th House; Mars rules Aries and the 1st House, and Jupiter rules Sagittarius and the 9th House. Mars and Jupiter used to be Water planets, as well, because they co-ruled Fire and Water Signs and Houses. They were displaced from Water rulership with the discovery of Pluto and Neptune. Mars ruled Scorpio and the 8th House (Water); Jupiter ruled Pisces and the 12th House (Water).

The Sun represents our life path and primary drive, our essential nature, and the centerpiece of our design.

4 Key Traits of the Fire Element

Whether you are looking at a Fire Planet, Fire Sign, or Fire House, the element has certain key traits it expresses that define it separately from the other elements.

Fire element Energy Excites

Fire energy inspires. Therefore, individuals with dominant fire energy in their charts will seek inspiration and provide inspiration. They can be wonderful role models so long as they do not have been responsible for others as part of their efforts to succeed, perform, or create. These individuals teach by doing, not by instructing.

Fire Energy Creates

We are constantly needing new experiences to grow, and it is the energy of Fire that handles this activity. Combining ideas in new ways, pioneering breakthroughs, and exploring the unknown are all activities suited to Fire. The excitement of inspiration is supposed to lead to acts of creation. There is no fear of failure, only the desire to go forward and breathe life and energy into ideas.

Fire Energy Competes

Testing oneself against others, nature, or difficult situations is a cornerstone to spiritual growth for Fire individuals. And so, they love competition, to find out what they and others are made of, and how they will respond under pressure. This energy rules the archetype of the warrior, athlete, explorer, and competitor. When a moment calls for bravery, going first, taking a risk, or intensity, this energy answers.

Fire Energy Acts

While Air energy is thinking about it, Water energy is feeling it, and Earth energy is trying to be practical and prudent, Fire energy is leaping into action. Someone has to go first, and the Fire energy people want to leap forward. They want to experience the “first time”, repeatedly. They want “to do”; so they can feel the rush of adrenaline and cause a rush of adrenaline in others. The roaring crowds, the excitement their performance causes in others, and the thrill of pushing the limits embody this energy.
