The Saju view
Rory 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 Rory 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 Rory earns some credit for charts missing earth. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Rory would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
To the ear Rory sounds water, the element of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn find it a friendly partner. Rory is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its water sound.
