The Saju view
Martin begins with a lip sound, so its leading sound counts as water. Saju listeners hear fire in Martin, 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 Martin, since fire is the parent of earth in Saju. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Martin would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
