HOROSCOPE
Fire is your sign’s paired element and your relationship with the element is the most cardinal of all the zodiac signs. The unbridled heat of fire can be reflected in many aspects of your personality. You take on new tasks and challenges with passion, will and enthusiasm. Your dedication to getting the job done often goes unmatched. At times you may be guilty of fueling your own ego to the point of arrogance, but when this habit is checked, the influence of fire is one of the greatest contributors to your success.
