The Saju view
Rebekah starts on T, D, N, L or R, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the fire group and that this scheme carries over to English. Names that sound like Rebekah are filed under fire. When a birth chart runs low on fire, a name like this is read as adding what is missing. In the cycle where each element nourishes the next, fire gives rise to earth, so Rebekah earns some credit for charts missing earth. If fire is already strong in a chart, Rebekah ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
