How Darius sounds
The three beats of Darius give it a lyrical quality. The last sound of Darius is a stream of air, so the name closes with a soft hiss. Darius is built from soft, running sounds, which this scheme counts as water. Recent U.S. birth records show Darius used less often than before, so it stands out a little today. Darius appears mainly as a boy's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
Darius starts on T, D, N, L or R, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the fire group and that this scheme carries over to English. In Saju, Darius carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Darius earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Darius ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces share the water element with the sound of Darius, so a Sun, Moon or rising sign in one of them gives the name its strongest ranking. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Darius as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
