How Wesley sounds
The two beats of Wesley give it a natural, conversational flow. A vowel ends Wesley, which keeps its final beat soft and sung rather than clipped. Wesley has the quick, bright rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with air. Recent U.S. birth records show Wesley rising, so it sounds current without being overused. Most people named Wesley in U.S. birth records are boys.
The Saju view
The first sound is the heaviest in the pronunciation-element system, and for Wesley it is earth, made with an open throat and a soft breath. The sound of Wesley belongs to earth, the element of grounding and reliability. A chart short on earth is the one that gains most from such a name. Because earth feeds metal in the cycle of generation, Wesley can also help a chart that is short on metal, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Wesley would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Wesley sounds air, the element of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Aries, Leo and Sagittarius find it a friendly partner. Charts led by earth and water signs hear the air sound of Wesley as a contrast, so it ranks lower there.

Numerology, for reference
Wesley adds up to an Expression number of 8 in Pythagorean numerology, the number of ambition and achievement. The number 8 is read as the number of ambition, associated with achievement, authority and a head for practical results.
