How Lillian sounds
Lillian stretches over three syllables, which adds warmth and a sense of occasion. A nasal ends Lillian, which lets its final beat ring a little before it fades. Lillian leaves a gentle, lingering sound, and that rounded shape reads as water. Few names are as widely used in recent U.S. birth records as Lillian, so spelling and pronunciation are never a question. Lillian appears mainly as a girl's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
Say Lillian slowly and the first thing the mouth does is touch the tongue to the ridge behind the teeth, a movement the system files under fire. Saju listeners hear fire in Lillian, the element tied to summer and to warmth. Charts with little fire are the ones it answers best. A chart lacking earth can lean on the fire in Lillian, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. If fire is already strong in a chart, Lillian ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
