Fire represents strong will and energy, and a more masculine disposition.
The astrological signs under its rule - Aries, Leo and Sagittarius - all tend to possess a choleric temperament, being decisive and vigorous, uncommonly brave and assertive but also excessively passionate and quarrelsome. It is an element at once creative and destructive, igniting the spark of life but well capable of turning everything before it into ashes. On the astral plane, the elementals representative of fire are salamanders and the tarot suit carrying its symbolism is that of wands.
