The glittering dance: Yang Fire & Yin Metal
Many combinations can occur within a birth Chart, each representing some special feature or character trait. From our research, none of them is more sensual and attractive to the public eye than the combination of Yang Fire and Yin Metal.

A common theme across both Elements is their tendency to seek attention. Yang Fire tends to be in the center of attention, like the sun, providing warmth and illumination to the surrounding planets. Though this won’t work if Yang Fire is weak, in that case, it might lack the necessary energy to affect people.
Yin Metal tends to shine, like a diamond or a golden ring; exposure to a spotlight gives it satisfaction. If Yin Metal is somewhat dirty, like, for example, if there is a wet Yin Earth nearby, this effect will be lessened. Yin Metal requires Water to remain clean and lustrous, a primary purpose.
When these two Elements meet, for example, next to each other in the Stems, they tend to combine. A combination of Elements can produce another Element, which initially might not even exist in the Chart. Yang Fire provides light and gentle warmth to Yin Metal, and this process gives rise to Water Element, making Yin Metal shine, like a piece of high-end jewelry, basking in its purity and glory, impressing and mesmerizing the people around. If the Water Element is beneficial for the overall Chart, it will create a powerful setup, one which can bring fame, money, and power to the person.
This combination also confers on the person intense sensuality and sexual appeal, a form of charisma that appears effortless to those around them. Most people are drawn to such a radiation of sensuality; therefore, such a combination is particularly suitable for those who work in show business. We found dozens of entertainers and generally famous people with such Chart setup.

The list is endless; we could probably add another 30 well-known individuals with such a setup.
MARILYN & KENNEDY
To illustrate how powerful this combination can be, we can examine one of the most famous love affairs, that between Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy. They are both Yin Metal, therefore naturally inclined to seek public attention. JFK had powerful Yang Fire and a direct combination with his Master Element. Marilyn was quite similar, a strong Yin Metal Master Element with a solid presence of Yang Fire and a direct combination with it.
These two together created a strong sensual bond, which we can call chemistry. Even today, almost 60 years later, people remain fascinated by these two individuals and their relationship. However, it was very brief, and the affair probably lasted no more than a few days. The story of their affair endured and became an iconic symbol of a bond between a powerful man and a beautiful woman.
That being said, it doesn’t mean that if you have Yang Fire and Yin Metal in your Chart that you will automatically have all these characteristics. Certain conditions need to be met. For those two Elements to produce Water, the season of birth must be supportive. So, for example, if the Chart is too hot, Water can’t be created.
It works best if the Master Element is either Yang Fire or Yin Metal, and the companion Element is right next to it. Such a combination will be immediate and highly noticeable to those around.
Recently, we had another notable pairing, driven by these two Elements: the one between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Although they are not in a relationship (or that’s at least the official explanation), the chemistry between them in the latest movie and while performing on stage is powerful, driving the audience into a frenzy.
And that’s what a successful combination of Yang Fire and Yin Metal does to people, and why its effect is so precious and glorified, by the media and audience.
The combination of Yang Fire and Yin Metal represents the highest level of glamour one can attain in our world; there is nothing else that can match its magical and mesmerizing effect.
