HOROSCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fire is the paired element of the Aries and in fact, your sign has the only cardinal connection with the element of all the zodiac signs. Your special connection with fire gives your personality the self-starting qualities of a spontaneous flame. More so, it is fire’s influence that can be credited with the sparks of leadership that you often witness. As you embrace fire’s positive qualities, your inner passion will continue to burn with strength. Take care to avoid the impatience that most fire zodiac signs fall victim to and success will be within your grasp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
