IMAGE The perseverance of the women is favourable.
|
SYMBOL TRADITION Wind energy comes from the heat of a fire. The Family. A wise man influences people with his words and motivates them so that they can persevere. |
The relationship between wind and fire is such that they reinforce each other. This is how it should be for the members of a family.
A family persists through time and your words and deeds should reflect a long-term view. You should influence your family through your words not by severity and force. You should encourage correct behaviour, and attitudes, by providing motivation and rewards.
The image suggests that it is the work of the female members of the family which holds it together and makes it successful.
