In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 121, verse 37.
Leave out Chaitra, Jyeshtha, Bhadrapada, Ashvina, Pausha and Magha. In the other months, building a house is good.
Simple meaning: Building a house is good in the other months, not in these six.
अश्विनी रोहिणी मूलमुत्तरात्रयमैन्दवम् ।
These stars are good for starting a house.
आदित्यभौमवर्जं तु वापीप्रासादके तथा ।
Avoid Sunday, Tuesday, Jupiter in Leo and the extra month for a house, stepwell or temple.
बाले वृद्धेऽस्तगे शुक्रे गृहकर्म विवर्जयेत् ।
Avoid house work when Venus is young, old or set. It tends to bring fire, fear and loss.
