Fire (火) is the energy of summer and light — warmth that spreads outward.

What the Fire (火) energy means

In the Five Elements, Fire (火) is the energy of summer, of light and heat spreading outward. It is bright, expressive, and quick to warm the people and things around it. Fire is strong at lighting the way and lifting a mood, but when it blazes too hot it can burn out fast or scatter its energy. Fire is born from Wood (木), gives rise to Earth (土), is controlled by Water (水), and melts Metal (金).

Traits when Fire is strong

• Bright, warm, and expressive
• Good at lifting the mood and lighting the way
• Quick and passionate

Things to watch

When it burns too hot it can flare up and tire quickly, or spread its energy too thin.

Relationships with the other elements (generating · controlling)

• Generating (相生) — Fire (火) grows with the help of Wood (木), and gives rise to Earth (土).
• Controlling (相克) — Fire (火) is controlled by Water (水), and controls Metal (金).
• A saju chart is read as the balance of these five energies helping and checking one another. A strong element is not good or bad in itself — the harmony of the whole is what matters.
