Your inner fire rules your outer world.

Elements: Fire and Water

The pitta dosha is ruled by the element of fire. Those with a primarily pitta constitution are passionate, motivated, and make great leaders. You’re also a creature of habit and routine, and when your routine gets interrupted, it’s as if one of your inner flames gets burnt out. You get things done. Burning through your to-do lists is normal for you and you’re great at motivating others to take action. Your intelligence and perceptive nature serve you well in life. The key to embodying the positive elements of pitta is to maintain balance and harmony within yourself and in your relations.

When pitta overpowers the mind it can manifest as aggression, recklessness, and pride. Physically, pitta imbalance can show up as skin eruptions, inflammation, and excess stress that can lead to burnout if you’re not careful.
