The Saju view
Because Russell begins with T, D, N, L or R, the system counts its first sound as fire, and the first sound weighs double. In Saju, Russell carries fire. That makes it a natural choice for charts where fire is the thinnest of the five elements. Russell supports earth from behind: its fire sound is the traditional source of that element. Charts crowded with fire tend to look elsewhere, as the fire sound of Russell would tip the balance further.

The astrology view
To the ear Russell 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. For fire and air signs, the water sound of Russell pulls the other way, and the ranking reflects that.
