What does it mean to lack Fire in a chart?

Passion or expressiveness may run a little low, which can come across as passive. A missing element is not a flaw by itself — it usually just means that trait needs to be built deliberately rather than coming naturally.

What does too much Fire look like?

Mood swings and hasty decisions can be more likely. An element present in excess tends to dominate the personality, so the chart is often read alongside what tempers it — the element Fire is controlled by.
