The Saju view
Say Delilah slowly and the first thing the mouth does is touch the tongue to the ridge behind the teeth, a movement the system files under fire. Delilah is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Delilah, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Delilah would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
Delilah ranks highest in charts led by water, which means the signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Charts led by Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn come next. Delilah is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
