How Esteban sounds

The Saju view
Esteban starts on a vowel, H, W or Y, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the earth group and that this scheme carries over to English. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Esteban is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Esteban earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Esteban ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
