About the Fire Element

Fire is the element of summer, passion, and transformation. It represents warmth, illumination, and the spark of life itself. Fire people are natural-born leaders who light up every room they enter. They thrive on excitement and are driven by their hearts. But like a real flame, Fire needs fuel and control — too strong and it consumes everything; too weak and it extinguishes.
