The Saju view
The opening of Caroline falls in the wood group of the sound-element table, because it is a back-of-the-throat sound. The sound of Caroline belongs to fire, the element of warmth and visibility. A chart short on fire is the one that gains most from such a name. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Caroline can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. If fire is already strong in a chart, Caroline ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
