वास्तु मण्डन (मण्डन सूत्रधार - गृह, राजप्रासाद, दुर्ग एवं नगर-वास्तु सटीक)

Ch. II – Āyādhikāraḥ 73
52-53. From the North-East corner Krittikā and the other seven stars
circu- mambulate seven houses; the part of the house where it
settles is known as the house of the Moon. If placed in front, it
causes loss of longevity, if placed at the back it causes loss of
wealth. For a house, if placed on the left or right side, it increases
wealth and prosperity.
Thus ends Candra.
54. Prītiyoga is of six types. Among them the best one is Samasaptamī.
Tṛtīyā and Ekādasī are known by Vṛddhā and Daśamī, Caturthī as
Puṣyā.
55. In the chart of a house one should avoid Ṣaḍaṣṭaka, Trikoṇa and
Dvi-dvādaśa. Death, quarrels and loss will occur from those
combinations. So, these three Prītiyogas should be avoided.
56. If there is parity among the zodiac signs then there will be no
enmity; again the vices arising from the combination of planets
are removed by the planets themselves. One should not go
against the favourable zodiac sign and should avoid Nāḍīvedha.
57. Brahmins, Kṣatriya, Vaiśya, Śūdra occupy Pisces and three other
zodiac signs. In a house where the Varṇas are higher than the
Varṇa of the house-owner, then it is not regarded as congenial.
58. All zodiac signs are auspicious for Brahmins. Nine zodiac signs
for King, six for Vaiśyas, and three for Śūdras- these are the orders
of the lordship of the zodiac signs.
59. A householder will count the zodiac signs of the house and the
signs of the householder and consider the enmity or Maitrī. If it
does not match, then one should consider Prīti. In case Prīti is
favourable then other factors are to be ignored.
60. The sixth place in the chart of the house destroys its star. The
fifth and third zodiacs are to be considered with the Lagna and
others are of the opinion that the Meṣa and other zodiacs come
at the end with Navāṁśa.
61. Aśvinī group of triple stars belong to Aries (Meṣa), Maghā group of
three belong to Leo (Siṁha), Mūla group of three belong to Sagit-
tarius (Dhanu) and rest belong to the (other) nine zodiac signs.
Thus ends the amity of the zodiac signs
