The Saju view
Leland begins with a tongue-tip sound, so its leading sound counts as fire. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Leland 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 Leland earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Leland ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
