The Saju view
Alexandra begins with a soft, open sound, so its leading sound counts as earth. Names that sound like Alexandra are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Alexandra earns some credit for charts missing earth.
