The Saju view
Say Penelope slowly and the first thing the mouth does is close the lips, a movement the system files under water. Saju listeners hear water in Penelope, 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 Penelope, since water is the parent of wood in Saju. A chart that already holds plenty of water is better served by another name, since Penelope would add to it.
