The Saju view
The opening of Barrett is a lip sound, the signature of water in the pronunciation-element system. In Saju, Barrett carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Barrett earns some credit for charts missing earth. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Barrett would tip the balance further.
