Moving to a new home is a major life change that can cause a lot of anxiety. Hence, to improve the odds of a smooth transition, you must choose a "lucky" or "suspicious" date to move house. Moving on a lucky date can help you avoid misfortune and ensure a seamless transition. It is extremely important if you are moving for the first time - for example moving out of your parents house for the first time.
Thus, it is important to understand the concept of Feng Shui and establish the luckiest dates for relocating to guarantee that your new house is filled with good energy and pleasant vibes from the get-go. According to the Chinese calendar, the following months in 2023 are favourable for moving into your new home.
On January 2023, the Chinese calendar will usher in the new lunar year. So, moving before that date will provide you with a clean slate on which to start a fresh beginning.
Both the northwestern and southern orientations are optimal this month. Hence, be sure that any improvements to your new home, such as a money altar, should be made in the northwest.

The best days to move into a new home in February 2023 are auspicious dates. Water Day, not Fire Day, is the better option for relocating. If it's a yang day, choose a yin hour, and vice versa.
Also, avoid using any shades of red or earth tones when redecorating your new space this month. Bedding and curtains with shades of grey, blue, or white are suitable for short-term use.

The month of September signals the beginning of fall in the northern hemisphere and the start of spring in the southern hemisphere. So, you’d expect to feel a nice equilibrium of energy in September.

The lucky dates of October are excellent moving-in dates. Some people believe that the first night in a new house is more auspicious if a candle is lit. This is a potent ritual of house blessing that has been practised in many civilizations around the world.
The candle's flame not only dispels the night, but also bestows protection upon your new home and its inhabitants by symbolically driving away the evil, sorrow, and grief that lurk in the shadows.

December 2023 has the least number of lucky dates for moving houses. So, there must be no fighting among family members on the day you decide to move. This indicates disharmony and, therefore, can spoil the home with unwanted energy.
