This lunar mansion is favorable for constructing a building, house or any other structure, digging a swimming pool, collecting debts and receiving money. However, it is mainly used for activities related to Feng Shui, in order to select a location for doors or water features (swimming pool, pond), and not for personal matters.
Ji foretells a whole year of great luck as a reward for work for those who start new things on this day, it is said: “the reward for hard work is herds of cows and horses. New property is acquired, and the silkworm becomes very active. Opening a new door doubles your luck, the granaries are overflowing with rice.” The lucky one will be showered with awards and honors; his entire family will share in this extraordinary good fortune. The dead can be buried. But the image of a dung basket also has another, not very pleasant side. Over time, the mansion Ji acquired a secondary meaning associated with gossip, slander and debauchery.
