The Saju view
In the pronunciation-element system the opening sound of Louis belongs to fire, since it is made with the tip of the tongue. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Louis 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 Louis earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Louis ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
