The Saju view
Bradley begins with a lip sound, so its leading sound counts as water. Saju listeners hear fire in Bradley, the element tied to summer and to warmth. Charts with little fire are the ones it answers best. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Bradley, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. If fire is already strong in a chart, Bradley ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
