The Saju view
The first sound of Lydia is made with the tip of the tongue, and the sound-element system used here counts that as fire. Saju listeners hear fire in Lydia, the element tied to summer and to warmth. Charts with little fire are the ones it answers best. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Lydia can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. If fire is already strong in a chart, Lydia ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
