The Saju view
Say Melody slowly and the first thing the mouth does is close the lips, a movement the system files under water. In Saju, Melody carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. Melody supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. If fire is already strong in a chart, Melody ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.

The astrology view
Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces share the water element with the sound of Melody, so a Sun, Moon or rising sign in one of them gives the name its strongest ranking. Melody is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
