HOUSE OF CARDS

Relationships are often built on shaky foundations and can easily collapse when elements are overlooked or unappreciated.  Often a combination of earthy sexuality (snake) and romantic love (rose), the secret is to find the right balance, the perfect harmony of yin and yang.  Only then can the House remain standing.
