The Saju view
The opening of Henry falls in the earth group of the sound-element table, because it is a soft, open sound. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Henry is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Henry 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 Henry would tip the balance further.
