Lunar mansion
Wèi
Stomach
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
胃為雉
胃 is the pheasant.

About this entry
Pheasant is what 協紀辨方書 卷一 assigns to 胃, a bird picked as like the rooster at the center of the 酉 palace. The Stomach shares that palace with 昴 and 畢.
It stands in the earth group of 星厯考原 卷五 with 柳, 氐 and 女; Saturday is the link a modern bridge supplies. 婁 is before it and 昴 after. The sources go no further on this mansion.

The English here is our own plain wording. Lists keep the items of the source.
