The Saju view
Dante begins with a tongue-tip sound, so its leading sound counts as fire. Names that sound like Dante are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Dante earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Dante ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
