Do I have to move in on the day of moving?

Auspicious day for moving

Before moving, we must choose a good day for moving. Don't choose a fire day for moving, choose a water day, choose a yang day on a yin day, and choose a yang day and a silver day. When choosing a good day, pay attention to the horoscope of everyone in the family to avoid conflicts. The day of moving generally refers to an auspicious day for holding the "house-moving ceremony". Wait until the auspicious day for moving to open the door, burn incense to worship ancestors, light fire or set off firecrackers, etc. Finally, after completing the move, move in on the same day.

Moving but not moving in

Regarding the question of moving in on the first day of moving, in some places as long as you start cooking in the new home on the day of moving, you are considered to have officially moved. This mainly depends on your local customs. In many places, firecrackers are set off when entering a new house, and the person with the highest seniority in the family leads the family inside, holding a brazier in his hands, which is meant to warm the house, also known as a prosperous house, which means vitality. Therefore, generally speaking, you don’t have to move in immediately, but you must do some work such as warming the stove, eating the first meal in the new home on the first day of moving in, and offering sacrifices to the gods.

Moving party

From the perspective of Feng Shui, moving is a happy event. Nowadays, many people follow very common ceremonies when moving into a new house, and some people even just move in directly and be done with it. But we may ask friends to help on the day of moving. The custom of treating guests to a meal when moving varies from region to region. But moving doesn’t necessarily require a dinner party. We can also invite good friends over for tea after moving into a new home, so that everyone can get together to add to the festive atmosphere and make the home more lively.
