The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Micah it is water, made with the lips. Saju listeners hear water in Micah, the element tied to winter and to wisdom. Charts with little water are the ones it answers best. A chart lacking wood can lean on the water in Micah, since water is the parent of wood in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of water is better served by another name, since Micah would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Micah 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. Micah is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
