How Cynthia sounds
With three syllables, Cynthia has room for a gentle rise and fall when spoken. The name Cynthia trails off on a vowel, a gentle ending that carries well when called out. Spoken aloud, Cynthia is quick and easy on the tongue, with the lightness the sound-element scheme calls air. Recent U.S. birth records show Cynthia used less often than before, so it stands out a little today. In U.S. birth records Cynthia has been given mostly to girls.
The Saju view
The first sound of Cynthia is made against the teeth, and the sound-element system used here counts that as metal. Saju listeners hear metal in Cynthia, the element tied to autumn and to clarity. Charts with little metal are the ones it answers best. Because metal feeds water in the cycle of generation, Cynthia can also help a chart that is short on water, though less directly. Charts crowded with metal tend to look elsewhere, as the metal sound of Cynthia would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
For Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, Cynthia reads as a name from their own element; for Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, as a companion. Charts led by earth and water signs hear the air sound of Cynthia as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.

Numerology, for reference
Counting each letter of Cynthia by the Pythagorean table gives 8, a number associated with achievement and authority. In numerology the number 8 stands for ambition, which is tied to achievement, authority and a head for practical results. The vowels of Cynthia add up to a Soul Urge number of 8, linked with an inner wish for achievement. The number 8 is read as the number of ambition, associated with achievement, authority and a head for practical results. Counting only the consonants, Cynthia comes to 9, the number numerologists connect with someone who seems generous and open-minded.
