The Saju view
The first sound of Brooklyn is made with the lips, and the sound-element system used here counts that as water. Names that sound like Brooklyn are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Brooklyn earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Brooklyn ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
