The Saju view
In the table of sound elements, Zachary starts in metal: S, Z, SH, CH or J all belong there. Zachary is a metal name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack metal. Because metal feeds water in the cycle of generation, Zachary can also help a chart that is short on water, though less directly. If metal is already strong in a chart, Zachary ranks lower there, because it piles on more of the same element.
