The Saju view
The opening of Julian falls in the metal group of the sound-element table, because it is a hissing, teeth-edge sound. Julian is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Julian can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. If fire is already strong in a chart, Julian ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
