The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Julia belongs to metal, since it is made against the teeth. Names that sound like Julia are filed under metal. When a birth chart runs low on metal, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, metal gives rise to water, so Julia earns some credit for charts missing water. A chart that already holds plenty of metal is better served by another name, since Julia would add to it.
