The Saju view
The first sound of Isla is made with an open throat and a soft breath, and the sound-element system used here counts that as earth. Saju listeners hear earth in Isla, the element tied to the turn between seasons and to steadiness. Charts with little earth are the ones it answers best. A chart lacking metal can lean on the earth in Isla, since earth is the parent of metal in Saju. Charts crowded with earth tend to look elsewhere, as the earth sound of Isla would tip the balance further.
