These pages report what named old Chinese books state and what a calculator works out from them. They give no advice about a home, and they cannot decide health, money, law or family matters.
In the classical sources
傷門為三碧
The Injury gate is Three Jade.

About this entry
Three Jade (三碧, sān bì) is the third star, at home in 震, the eastern palace of wood. The character 碧 names a blue-green shade, so we render it as jade. 傷, the Injury gate, is the one the Dunjia Classic gives it, out of eight in that method.
Its star name is 祿存, which means preserved salary. The house book 陽宅十書 gives that name to the seat called 禍害, so in an Eight Mansions reading the same star name carries a different label.
The worked chart in 星厯考原 places Three Jade in 兌, the west palace, in the year 1684. Beyond the color, the gate and the star name, the old books we could read add nothing about this star.
