WHERE FIRE IS PRESENT, TRANSFORMATION IS NEAR.
What’s desire without a little fire, amiright?!
I know I know, typically Fall season is when we tend to step away from all that warmth Summer brought into our lives, but eclipse season in Scorpio has other plans for us.
Anyway, last week I dropped into your inbox talking about desire and creativity. I’m going to take you even deeper into those concepts and tap into the element that lights them up: FIRE.
Fire is an ascending force that gives off its own light, its own heat, and is a bright, generative force that can truly transform. It can be subtle, moving slowly and swiftly, or it can be massive, overtaking everything in its sight.
When fire is present, transformation is on the forefront, manifestation is being fueled, and creativity takes on embodiment.
PURPOSE, FUEL, AND WILL
Desire, resolve, and purpose are ruled by the element of Fire and expressed through passion and will. Within the human psyche, will needs a certain fuel to burn in order to fully bring manifestations into existence.
FIRE SIGNS
The three Fire signs within the Zodiac are embodiments of selfhood and personality. Whether you have fire in your chart or not, you can learn from the aspects and traits of these signs. Aries is a cardinal sign that has the strongest will to bring things into existence, which shows up as fire’s generative power. Leo, a fixed fire, shows us will and persuasion. It is a steady stream of warmth and light. Lastly, we have Sagittarius, a mutable fire that holds the power of life purpose and adaptability.
WAYS TO WORK WITH FIRE
It is said that fire is a portal. When you hold two flames close to one another, they intertwine with each other to make one bigger flame. The flames of a candle can be used for skrying, allowing us see things from other times and places. Campfires can help us with burning rituals by placing an offering to the fire in order to extradite it from out lives.
Every spark of fire is a vehicle for ritual.
Candle gazing or Tratak Sadhana is a meditative ritual that helps strengthen the third eye and connect to the element of fire through concentration that can be done at any time. All you need is a candle, an intention, and a comfortable place to sit.
Set up your meditation space with any tools you wish to have surrounding you.
Place a candle in front of you. As you light it, think of any intentions you wish to bring into fruition.
Simply allow yourself to breath quietly while gazing into the flame and visualizing the energy of these intentions within it.
If you feel called to it, allow your breath to match the flicker and flow of the flame.
Pay attention to any intuitive hits or thoughts that float into your mind as you sit in this practice.
Once you feel like the ritual is complete, give gratitude to the flame before blowing it out.
What brings fire into your life? Where does it lie within your body? When we keep that spark ignited, allowing it to burn with passion and clarity, we usher creation into existence.
