The Saju view
The opening of Alana is a soft, open sound, the signature of earth in the pronunciation-element system. Saju listeners hear fire in Alana, the element tied to summer and to warmth. Charts with little fire are the ones it answers best. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Alana, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Alana would tip the balance further.
