The symbol of Cicada also represents fertility. For couples who have been trying unsuccessfully to conceive, a Cicada symbol is believed to help assist in their endeavours and increase the chance of having a child. It is believed that placing the Cicada in your Nien Yen direction based on your KUA number would aide conception for couples who have been trying for years but failed.
