The Saju view
Say Charlie slowly and the first thing the mouth does is press air past the teeth, a movement the system files under metal. In Saju, Charlie carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. Charlie supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Charlie would add to it.

The astrology view
