How Paris sounds
The two beats of Paris give it a natural, conversational flow. A hissing sound ends Paris, which lets its final beat drift away rather than stop. Paris is built from light, open sounds, which this scheme counts as air. Year after year Paris appears at a steady pace in U.S. birth records, a dependable middle path. U.S. birth records list Paris overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Because Paris begins with M, B, P, F or V, the system counts its first sound as water, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Paris carries water. That makes it a natural choice for charts where water is the thinnest of the five elements. Paris supports wood from behind: its water sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with water tend to look elsewhere, as the water sound of Paris would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
The air character of Paris answers the temperament of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, and it keeps good company with Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Paris is a less natural fit for earth and water signs, whose elements differ from its air sound.
