About moving house dates
In the Chinese almanac, moving in is two ideas: 移徙 (moving your household) and 入宅 (entering the new home for the first time). Families usually pick one good day for the symbolic first entry, when someone carries in rice, a filled water container and a lit lamp, even if the movers come on a different day.
The calendar below rates each day for moving. Good days fall on 成 Success, 開 Open, 定 Stable or 除 Remove. We skip Destruction and Close days, year-breaker days, the days just before each season changes, Yang Gong taboo days and the 7th lunar month.
Everyone in the household counts, not just the owner. Add each person’s birth year below to hide days that clash with any of them.
Questions about moving house dates
Does the time of day matter?
Traditionally, yes. Many families aim to enter in the morning, while the day’s energy is rising, and avoid arriving after dark. If you can only move in the evening, do the symbolic entry (rice, water, a lit lamp) earlier in the day and bring the furniture later.
What if my only available date is a Fair day?
A Fair day has no traditional exclusions. Its Day Officer is just not one of the four favoured ones. It is a reasonable choice. Avoid days are the ones to work around, especially if the day clashes with someone in the household.
What about Hungry Ghost month?
Many Chinese families in Singapore and Malaysia avoid moving during the 7th lunar month. Those days are greyed out. If your lease or handover forces a move then, some families do a small first entry after the month ends, or simply move and keep the home bright and lived-in.
Do the movers have to come on the good day?
No. What matters most in practice is the first entry and the first night’s sleep. Many people bring a few symbolic items on the chosen day and let the movers come on whatever day they can book.
Whose birth year matters most?
Traditionally the head of the household, but it is wise to check everyone. If no day suits every person, prioritise the people who will live there full-time, then the eldest.
