Fire & Water Elements
Fire (Aries)
Energetic, spontaneous, and action-oriented. Fire seeks to ignite and inspire, but can steamroll subtler emotions.
Water (Cancer)
Fluid, intuitive, and feeling-based. Water seeks to connect and nurture, but can be overwhelmed by too much heat.
When balanced, fire warms water, and water tempers fire—creating a supportive steam of growth.
