The Saju view
Say Sebastian slowly and the first thing the mouth does is press air past the teeth, a movement the system files under metal. The sound of Sebastian belongs to metal, the element of focus and refinement. A chart short on metal is the one that gains most from such a name. A chart lacking water can lean on the metal in Sebastian, since metal is the parent of water in Saju. If metal is already strong in a chart, Sebastian ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
