The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Sierra starts in metal: S, Z, SH, CH or J all belong there. The sound of Sierra belongs to metal, the element of focus and refinement. A chart short on metal is the one that gains most from such a name. Because metal feeds water in the cycle of generation, Sierra can also help a chart that is short on water, though less directly. Charts crowded with metal tend to look elsewhere, as the metal sound of Sierra would tip the balance further.
