How Malachi sounds

The Saju view
Malachi begins with a lip sound, so its leading sound counts as water. In Saju, Malachi carries water. That makes it a natural choice for charts where water is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, water gives rise to wood, so Malachi earns some credit for charts missing wood. Charts crowded with water tend to look elsewhere, as the water sound of Malachi would tip the balance further.
