Good Day · Moving dates
Best moving dates, month by month
A calendar-first answer to "which day should we move?" Each month is scored day by day across seven calendar traditions, with the weight on the hearth traditions — the almanac's 入宅/移徙 days and the settling moon phases.

How to use this page
Moving-day selection is the oldest timing ritual still in daily use: 入宅 (entering the home) is an explicit register in the Chinese almanac, and the personalization rule — step back when the day clashes your birth-year sign — decides who carries the first box.
The clash rule (冲煞) — whose moving day it is
Every day clashes one of the twelve animals; the person whose birth-year sign is clashed traditionally avoids making the move that day. Leaseholders and the household's anchoring members get checked first. Pick a sign above and the clashing days leave the list.
What the score already weighs
The moving read weights the hearth traditions — the almanac's 入宅/移徙 days, stable Vedic signs, the moon's settling phases — and ranks the days where they agree. Each listed day shows the almanac's 宜/忌 entries and the day's clash animal so you can check the whole household, not just one sign.
What a favorable date does not do
It does not book the elevator, move the piano, or argue with the landlord. Movers, weather, building rules, and the lease decide whether the day runs smoothly; the calendar only ranks the symbolic side. The old almanac advice still wins on logistics: carry something living or first-night-needed across the threshold first.
Frequently asked questions
Which household members' signs should I check?
Traditionally the people for whom the move is a major commitment — the leaseholders first, then family members moving in. The clash rule is about who the day "butts against," not about guests and helpers.
What is 入宅 and how is it different from moving?
入宅 is the formal "entering the home" — the first night slept in the new place. Some families move boxes over weeks but choose one 入宅 day for the first night and the stove being lit; that is the day to run through this tool.
Do ghost months or other taboos appear here?
The almanac's daily 宜/忌 and clash data already encode the major taboos — days hostile to moving simply do not make the favorable list. You do not need a separate taboo calendar.
Is a favorable day a guarantee the move goes smoothly?
No. The date is a reflective container, not logistics insurance. Elevator bookings, movers, weather, and paperwork decide whether the day runs smoothly.
