The Saju view
The opening of Evan falls in the earth group of the sound-element table, because it is a soft, open sound. In Saju, Evan carries earth. That makes it a natural choice for charts where earth is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, earth gives rise to metal, so Evan earns some credit for charts missing metal. If earth is already strong in a chart, Evan ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
