The Saju view
The first sound of Aaliyah is made with an open throat and a soft breath, and the sound-element system used here counts that as earth. Saju listeners hear earth in Aaliyah, the element tied to the turn between seasons and to steadiness. Charts with little earth are the ones it answers best. A chart lacking metal can lean on the earth in Aaliyah, since earth is the parent of metal in Saju. If earth is already strong in a chart, Aaliyah ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
