Why Are Sagittarius Fire Signs?
Exploring the elemental nature of the adventurous Archer.
The Element of Fire
In astrology, the four elements—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—define the core energy of each zodiac sign. Fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) are known for their passion, dynamism, inspiration, and drive. They are the initiators, the enthusiasts, and the seekers of truth.
Sagittarius, born between November 22 and December 21, embodies this fiery essence in its most expansive and philosophical form.
