<\/dt>\nAries and Leo (along with Sagittarius) are the ‘fire signs’. The red color of Mars also evokes fire (even though retrograde through cool Libra), as does the blazing Aries Sun opposing Mars today.<\/p>\n
Based on what the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and the fire signs represent, it’s symbolically hot up there. That’s not to say the other three elements associated with astrology (earth, air and water) are not well represented — they are. Nevertheless, fire is a dominant issue in the heavens right now.<\/p>\n
Because you are part of the solar system, it makes sense for your life to be somewhat synchronized with the heavens, just as it is with the seasons. Hence, any issue implied above will probably show up in your life at the same time.<\/p>\n
You may already have taken or given some heat since yesterday. You might have known the burn of either annoyance or enthusiasm over the weekend. If such has been your experience, please consider its probable purpose.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Any experience with fire, whether tangible or metaphorical, serves the purpose of understanding its core issue. At the heart of fire is a choice — your choice, to either be present with or consumed by whatever form the flame may take.<\/p>\n
Given the explicit issues of our time and the implicit context of current astrology, the most likely expression of fire in your life now is passion. That’s how many of the choices you now face probably come down to whether you choose to be present with or consumed by your convictions, affections or desires. It’s a fine line to walk, but not an impossible task.<\/p>\n
The task begins with a few questions for yourself. What lights your fire, floats your boat, tilts your windmill or grounds you in the moment? If you have a ready and heartfelt answer, you walk the line of knowing what you are vulnerable to being consumed by.<\/p>\n
Strange as it may seem, any uncertainty about or alienation from your deepest motivations makes you even more vulnerable. That’s because nothing makes fire more dangerous than a lack of knowledge about it or a dearth of experience with it. Unless you are the very rare exception, any apparent absence of passion probably means you walk the line of not knowing either your most powerful potential or your greatest weakness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hence, the most important question you can ask today is the same one the sky is all but spelling out: “What’s your passion?” Even if you already know the answer, a timely inquiry can make you more aware of when your passion masters you rather than the other way around, allowing you to gain additional possession of yourself in the bargain.<\/p>\n
Conversely, if you don’t know your passion, now is the time to find out. The alternative is sooner or later to be faced with a fire that originates inside of you, yet with which you are not familiar, only to be utterly lost.<\/p>\n
So pay attention to what’s been getting your goat or flying your kite this week, because there your personal fire will be found. Once found, then to be mastered. Once mastered, then to be won. Once won, then to be one. It all starts now with a simple question.<\/p>\n
