Friction With Others
-
The deep-rooted confidence fire signs evince also leaves them ill equipped to deal with the emotional needs of others. Fire signs operate from a strong intuition that fuels their ambition but doesn't necessarily take into account the impact of their actions. They can run over some shyer signs and become inconsiderate, pompous or narcissistic when under stress, especially when the stress threatens to leave them feeling out of control.
Differences Within Fire Signs
-
Leo is known to be the most romantic of all the fire signs, with their hopelessly romantic nature rivaling only their need for attention. Quick to follow romantic impulse but slow to settle down, the Sagittarius needs constant stimuli even within a monogamous relationship. Aries typically devotes more effort than compromise into a relationship because of his fiercely independent nature. Keen on the challenging, flirtatious aspect of romance, an Aries may be more likely to "win" the game of love but abandon it if it becomes too much of a strain on her chosen lifestyle.
Compatibility With Other Signs
-
Water signs can tap into fire signs' understanding of emotional needs and help them grow in that respect. The risk is that fire's need for mobility and water's need for meaningful intimacy can overwhelm the other sign. Fire and earth signs get along well because earth can lend structure and feed off fire's infectious enthusiasm. However, earth signs may be too cautious and fire signs too stubborn and unrealistic for this pairing. Fire and air signs thrive on the encouragement and ideas of one another, while air adds some "big-picture thinking" and fire helps guarantee fruition. Of course, a fire sign will see a lot of appeal in and have quick respect for other fire signs, but the danger there is an eventual struggle for dominance.
