The Saju view

When a birth chart runs low on wood, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, wood gives rise to fire, so Christian earns some credit for charts missing fire. Charts crowded with wood tend to look elsewhere, as the wood sound of Christian would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
To the ear Christian sounds air, the element of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Aries, Leo and Sagittarius find it a friendly partner. Christian is a less natural fit for earth and water signs, whose elements differ from its air sound.
