- Mansion verse
- Building under Room increases fields and gardens, with wealth, cattle and horses spread across the hills. Estates and houses come from afar, bringing glory, wealth, blessings, official income and well-being. Burial on this day leads to high office and an audience with the ruler. Marriage is likened to Chang’e reaching the moon palace, and within three years a child is carried to the court.
