The Saju view
Say Andrew slowly and the first thing the mouth does is open the throat, a movement the system files under earth. Saju listeners hear fire in Andrew, the element tied to summer and to warmth. Charts with little fire are the ones it answers best. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Andrew can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. If fire is already strong in a chart, Andrew ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
