- Mansion verse
- Star is favorable for building a new house and for promotion to office near the ruler. Burial and releasing water should be avoided: an inauspicious star takes its place and women die. Separation in life and death extinguishes affection; one should return and rest rather than marry another man. Even Confucius would struggle with these winding difficulties; releasing water and opening a door harm one’s allotted life.
