签61：十二寡妇征西
Average Fortune
Story
In the Northern Song dynasty, Yang Zongbao died in battle, and the Western Xia invaded. Grand Dowager She led the twelve widows of the Yang family to command the army. These women, proving that they were not inferior to men, broke the Western Xia forces and defended the country. This fortune indicates that women can also undertake great responsibilities.
Oracle Poem
Beacon fires on the border illuminate the rouged visage; Twelve women in skirts head to the battlefield. Do not say that fair brows lack courage and strategy; A song of victory shakes all eight directions.
Interpretation
This fortune primarily indicates strong women and weak men, with better fortune for women. In career, women can display their talents, while men should cooperate; in relationships, women take the lead, but balance is needed; in finances, women have smoother investments. The phrase in the poem "rouged visage and courage" encourages breaking through gender biases.
