Fire Element (火)

Fire (огонь) is the energy of summer, expansion and propriety — radiant light and warmth. It embodies passion, expression, visibility and the joy of connection.

Fire people are bright, expressive and enthusiastic, warm-hearted and sociable. They light up rooms, inspire others and act on their feelings openly.

Charisma, optimism, honesty and motivating energy. Fire shares its warmth freely and turns ideas into vivid, contagious enthusiasm.

Too much Fire brings impatience, volatility and burnout; too little brings coldness, low spirits and difficulty expressing or asserting oneself.

Fire is generated by Wood (its fuel) and generates Earth (its ash). It is controlled by Water (which douses it) and controls Metal (which it melts).

Ground your blaze with stability and patience (Earth), and renew your fuel through growth (Wood). Shine steadily rather than flaring and fading.
