The Saju view
Because Dean begins with T, D, N, L or R, the system counts its first sound as fire, and the first sound weighs double. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Dean is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Dean supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Dean would tip the balance further.
