Fire Signs

[46-] The elemental balance of the Zodiac comes from the ancient Greek philosophical concept of the Universe - that everything was made up of the four elements - Fire, Earth, Water and Air.

Fire - The Fire Signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. One quality of Fire that is usually overlooked in the Western traditions, but is a fundamental quality of Eastern element of Fire, is that Fire is clinging and dependent.
