In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 55, verse 88.
The dwelling is on the east side with Libra, Aries, Cancer, Scorpio and Aquarius. It is on the north with the signs of Mercury and Jupiter. It is on the west with Taurus. It is on the south with Capricorn and Leo.
Simple meaning: The sign shows which side of the house the birth room is on.
गृहप्राच्यादिगौ द्वौ द्वौ द्व्यंगाः कोणेष्वजादयः ।
Signs are spread over the sides and corners of the house and the legs of the bed.
चंद्रागांतरगैः खेटैः सूतिकाः समुदाहृताः ।
Planets between the Moon and rising sign show the women at the birth, some inside, some outside.
लग्नाशयसमानांगोबालिखेटंसमोपि वा ।
The child's looks follow the rising sign's part or the strongest planet. Skin colour follows the Moon's part.
