The Saju view
The opening of Adonis falls in the earth group of the sound-element table, because it is a soft, open sound. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Adonis is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Adonis supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Adonis would add to it.
