Is it a good time to move house during the Qingming Festival in 2018 to save energy?

1. From the perspective of traditional customs

Qingming Festival is a traditional festival for people to visit graves, worship ancestors and express grief. Some folk sayings believe that the Yin energy is heavier during Qingming Festival, and moving at this time will be bad for the residents' fortunes, so moving at this time is not recommended.

But of course there are also opinions that even on the day of Qingming Festival, there is no regulation that prohibits holding the "house-entering ceremony". It's just that Chinese people have the custom of respecting the dead and remembering their ancestors, and they visit graves on Qingming Festival, so there is no time to hold the "house-entering ceremony" at the same time. If residents have time to hold a "house-moving ceremony" after sweeping tombs and paying homage to their ancestors on Qingming Festival, they can move into the new house. However, the prerequisite is that Qingming Festival is an auspicious day for moving into the new house and it is an auspicious day that suits them.

Things to note when choosing a date for moving

1. The day of moving should not conflict with the zodiac signs and day pillars (the "Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches" of the lunar birthday) of family members, especially the day pillar of the owner.

2. The time for moving must be Yang time. What is Yang time? It is the time after Zi time, from 1 a.m. to 1 p.m. Try to move during Yang time. It is better to move early rather than late. It also means that the morning is the most important part of the day. Morning is full of vigor and hope, and represents sunshine, health and wealth.

3. Orientation of the new house: If it faces east, it is taboo to move on the days of Si, You and Chou (three metal combinations); if it faces west, it is taboo to move on the days of Hai, Mao and Wei (three wood combinations); if it faces south, it is taboo to move on the days of Shen, Zi and Chen (three water combinations); if it faces north, it is taboo to move on the days of Yin, Wu and Xu (three fire combinations).

4. If it is a second-hand or old house, a house purification ceremony should also be performed to drive out unclean attachments. If it is a new house, there is no need to purify the house, but the date of moving into the house must be prosperous and beneficial to the owner.

5. Suitable dates for moving are Tiande, Yuede, Tiandehe, Yuedehe, Tianshe, Kairi, Tianma and Chengri etc. When choosing a date for moving, avoid the thirteen taboo days of Yang Gong, weekdays, closing days, closed days, moon breaks, robbery days, disaster days, moon evil days, moon punishment, moon harm, four wastes, returning taboos, and days of death.
