The Saju view
Because Axel begins with a vowel, H, W or Y, the system counts its first sound as earth, and the first sound weighs double. Names that sound like Axel are filed under earth. When a birth chart runs low on earth, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, earth gives rise to metal, so Axel earns some credit for charts missing metal. If earth is already strong in a chart, Axel ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
