How Noel sounds

The Saju view
Noel begins with a tongue-tip sound, so its leading sound counts as fire. In Saju, Noel carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Noel earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Noel ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
