The Saju view
Say Peter slowly and the first thing the mouth does is close the lips, a movement the system files under water. The sound of Peter belongs to water, the element of reflection and flexibility. A chart short on water is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking wood can lean on the water in Peter, since water is the parent of wood in Saju. Charts crowded with water tend to look elsewhere, as the water sound of Peter would tip the balance further.
