How Aurora sounds
The three beats of Aurora give it a lyrical quality. The name Aurora trails off on a vowel, a gentle ending that carries well when called out. Aurora flows, with liquid consonants and a rolling rhythm that this scheme counts as water. More families have been choosing Aurora in recent years, which gives it a modern, up-and-coming feel. Most people named Aurora in U.S. birth records are girls.
The Saju view
The opening of Aurora falls in the earth group of the sound-element table, because it is a soft, open sound. In Saju, Aurora carries earth. That makes it a natural choice for charts where earth is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, earth gives rise to metal, so Aurora earns some credit for charts missing metal. Charts crowded with earth tend to look elsewhere, as the earth sound of Aurora would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
To the ear Aurora sounds water, the element of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn find it a friendly partner. Aurora is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
