How Ivy sounds
Ivy moves in two syllables, a length that feels familiar and approachable. The last sound of Ivy is a vowel, so the name fades out gently instead of stopping.

The Saju view
Because Ivy begins with a vowel, H, W or Y, the system counts its first sound as earth, and the first sound weighs double. Names that sound like Ivy are filed under earth. When a birth chart runs low on earth, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, earth gives rise to metal, so Ivy earns some credit for charts missing metal. Charts crowded with earth tend to look elsewhere, as the earth sound of Ivy would tip the balance further.
