The three fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius,  have in common the need of freedom of action to express themselves at ease, and tend  to struggle for the power to do as they wish. Fire signs are known to be positive and extrovert, masculine signs, with the traits (strengths and weaknesses) thereof derived.

Those with many planets in fire signs are energetic, dynamic, undertaking and have a bursting at-the-ready attitude, as they go after  things they find exciting. They usually follow sudden flashes of inspiration, and are prone to bursts of enthusiasm, tending to act before analyzing the consequences. Fire signs are considered to be intuitive, self-confident, and go by their gut-level instincts. Trusting their inner gutsy steering usually leads them to success, but they have a tendency to diregard essential steps driven by impatience, or to be unaware of the emotional impact of their actions on others, which can result in hurting other people´s feelings and appear overwhelming at times.

Like fire itself, they can flame up when inspired, making them seem very passionate and excited about life. They enjoy sports and adventures. They like to live an extravagant or self-indulgent lifestyle, and often feel frustrated by the mundane world.

Those with few planets in fire signs tend to lack energy and enthusiasm, they can even manifest a low esteem. It is recommended that they should take regular exercise, and train themselves into the habit of starting new projects, as well as be in direct contact with the fire whether it be sunbathing, staring at a bonfire or a fireplace, observing  the sunrise or any other activity that connects them with the lacking element. And above all, bear in mind that if you lack fire in your natal chart it is always a good idea to hang around with people who have plenty of it!
