The Saju view
Because Calvin begins with K or hard G, the system counts its first sound as wood, and the first sound weighs double. If your Four Pillars show little wood, Calvin is worth a closer look: its wood sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, wood gives rise to fire, so Calvin earns some credit for charts missing fire. Charts crowded with wood tend to look elsewhere, as the wood sound of Calvin would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
