An almanac describes traditional day-types. It cannot decide health, money, law, marriage or children. Burial, marriage and medical items on these pages are what a book states, never advice.
In the classical sources
室近中宫故為猪之本象
Close to the middle: that is why 室 holds the pig's true image.

About this entry
室 lies close to the center of the 亥 palace, so 協紀辨方書 卷一 gives it the pig, the branch animal of 亥. Its neighbor in the palace, 壁, takes a related beast.
In 星厯考原 卷五 fire is its group, with 觜, 翼 and 尾; Tuesday is the modern weekday tie. 危 comes before and 壁 after. The character means a room or dwelling, and the books draw no conclusion from that.
