- Mansion verse
- Building under Heart is greatly inauspicious, bringing criminal lawsuits and imprisonment. Disobedience and legal trouble diminish the estate; burial is followed by sudden deaths. Marriage on this day brings the loss of children and grief. Within three years calamities follow one another, and undertakings fail to reach a proper conclusion.
