Is it okay to move house during the New Year?

There is a folk custom of "not moving in the twelfth lunar month" .<br /> In Zhejiang area, people avoid moving in the first lunar month and the ninth lunar month, believing that it is unlucky to move in these months. The Yugur people believe that Tiger Day, Dog Day, Rat Day and Snake Day are unlucky days and they avoid moving on these days. This shows that people regard relocation as a major event and must treat it with caution. Otherwise, you may suffer misfortune.
From the perspective of Feng Shui, the twelfth lunar month is relatively cold. If you move into a new house rashly, the cold air will block the prosperous atmosphere in your home. This sounds like it makes sense in natural science. However, with the improvement of home technology, many houses have implemented whole-house heating, so there is no need to deliberately invite friends to the new house to visit and boost popularity as in the past. The reason why there is a saying that "you can't move house in the twelfth lunar month" is simply because people are worried that their hands and feet will be cold, which is bad for their health. But now for people who have home heating, this is no longer a problem.

What should I pay attention to when moving?

1. On the day of moving into the new house, be sure to avoid leaving anyone in the new house as much as possible. This is taken very seriously in some places for fear of destroying the feng shui of the new home, but in some places there is no such consideration. You can refer to local customs and habits to handle this yourself.
2. During the moving process, do not let pregnant women participate or watch, as this is unlucky. At the same time, if the moving day conflicts with a family member, then that member should not participate in the moving process and can move into the new house after the move is completed.
3. After the moving ceremony, a small stove should be prepared at the door of the new house, and then the fire should be lit. The meaning of this is "prosperity". At the same time, after the fire is burning, shout loudly "The door of wealth, the door of wealth is wide open, gold and silver treasures are rolling in". This has the good meaning of gold and silver rolling in. At the same time, prepare some coins, no matter how big or small, throw the prepared money into the new house, and then throw the prepared eight large oranges into the house, and the ceremony is over.
4. After the ceremony, family members can step over the stove and enter the new house. After entering the house, we need to take out the prepared oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. The action here is to calm the mind and to remind the family that our good days are about to begin.
5. After the move is completed, red envelopes must be distributed to the movers. The size of the red envelopes does not matter, the main purpose is to pray for good luck.
