The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Lena belongs to fire, since it is made with the tip of the tongue. Names that sound like Lena are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Lena earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Lena ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
