Does renting a house and moving depend on the date?

General Overview

According to folk customs, breaking ground, moving, decorating, lighting a fire, building a stove, placing beds, etc. all require choosing an auspicious day. However, since we are working people and change houses frequently, we generally don't pay too much attention to it. However, according to Feng Shui for moving, whether you are moving into a new house or renting a house, in terms of time, as long as you have been moving in for more than 21 days, you must choose a good day in advance to move. The saying "an auspicious place also requires a good time" makes sense.

Auspicious day for moving

When choosing an auspicious day for moving, check the almanac in advance and be careful not to choose a day that conflicts with your zodiac sign. Don’t choose a fire day as the time to move, choose a water day, choose a yang day on a yin day, and choose a yang day and a silver hour. Generally speaking, Yima, Tianma, Dehe, Kairi, Chengri, Tianshe, Tianyuan, Sixiang, Shide, Minri, Yueen etc are most suitable for relocation.

Moving anniversary

Those who face the east should avoid moving on the days of Si, You and Chou; those who face the west should avoid moving on the days of Hai, Mao and Wei; those who face the south should avoid moving on the days of Shen, Zi and Chen; those who face the north should avoid moving on the days of Yin, Wu and Xu.
