How Lana sounds

The Saju view
Lana begins with a tongue-tip sound, so its leading sound counts as fire. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Lana is worth a closer look: its fire sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Lana earns some credit for charts missing earth. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Lana would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
To the ear Lana sounds water, the element of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn find it a friendly partner. Charts led by fire and air signs hear the water sound of Lana as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.
