v1.c5.s2.31

The entrance to a building or settlement or else the position of a building on the site-plan is favourable, brings good luck to the builder, at certain of the 32 positions, and ill luck of various kinds, at others. If the moon and the stars are favourable, then only should a building, on a site, or the entrance to site or building be placed in that position. These astrological and other considerations are specially applicable to domestic architecture, whereas the positions and directions of temples depend on further observances (Pt. VII).
