Fire Signs
Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius as the fire triplicity. This guide gives a reproducible rule, worked example, illustrative near miss, and explicit limits.
Overview
The fire triplicity groups Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius as an interpretive category of initiation, visibility, and orientation. The page separates calculation from interpretation and keeps this worked result conditional: three selected placements belong to the fire triplicity; the initiation log can test outward action but does not alter Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius membership. Verification follows this declared method: Count the actual planets in those three signs, weight the Sun, Moon, and angles separately, then compare the result with the whole chart.

Definition and exact scope
the fire triplicity groups Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius as an interpretive category of initiation, visibility, and orientation
Calculation or decision rule
count the actual planets in those three signs, weight the Sun, Moon, and angles separately, then compare the result with the whole chart
Worked case and illustrative near miss
☉ 4°♈, ♂ 17°♌, ♃ 9°♐; ten selected planets and angles weighted 1 each; a dated project log separately records who initiated three launches. three selected placements belong to the fire triplicity; the initiation log can test outward action but does not alter Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius membership.
Illustrative near miss: Counting a Cancer planet in the 1st house as fire; an angular house can show prominence, but house number never changes triplicity membership.
School and variant boundary
Membership is stable inside the declared tropical-sign framework, while weighting and meaning vary by school.
Product, safety, and verification boundary
OpenFate can connect Fire Signs to the natal chart and reading flow where supported; the connection supplies evidence, not a guaranteed life result. Verification retains failed measurements and uncertainty, then revises interpretation rather than the receipt. Fire Signs cannot diagnose a person, remove consent, or guarantee an event.
