Stick #15: Family Harmony (Favorable)
家和方得万事兴,堂前椿萱笑语盈。夫妻相敬如宾礼,儿女承欢膝下情。
Plain reading
This lot favors the household. When the family is in accord, all things rise. Parents laugh, children bring joy — husband and wife respect each other like guests. More presence, less counting — harmony beats winning an argument.
Interpretation
"Family Harmony" is a favorable stick. Peace at home lets all else flourish. Respect between spouses and joy with children are the root of blessing.
Advice
Stay near, compare less, consult on affairs. Harmony matters more than being right.
