The Saju view
Because Brantley begins with M, B, P, F or V, the system counts its first sound as water, and the first sound weighs double. Saju listeners hear fire in Brantley, 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, Brantley can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Brantley would add to it.
