How Magnolia sounds

The three beats of Magnolia give it a lyrical quality. The last sound of Magnolia is a vowel, so the name fades out gently instead of stopping. Magnolia has the smooth, rolling rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with water. Recent U.S. birth records show Magnolia rising, so it sounds current without being overused. In U.S. birth records Magnolia has been given mostly to girls.

The Saju view

The opening of Magnolia is a lip sound, the signature of water in the pronunciation-element system. If your Four Pillars show little fire, Magnolia 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 Magnolia earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Magnolia ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view

To the ear Magnolia sounds water, the element of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn find it a friendly partner. For fire and air signs, the water sound of Magnolia pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
