How Kaia sounds

The Saju view
Counted by its first sound, Kaia is a wood name, since that sound is made at the back of the throat. Saju listeners hear wood in Kaia, the element tied to spring and to growth. Charts with little wood are the ones it answers best. Because wood feeds fire in the cycle of generation, Kaia can also help a chart that is short on fire, though less directly. If wood is already strong in a chart, Kaia ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
