I had a great experience. Transcend movers were amazing. I’ll be using them going forward.

We all know that moving to a new home is a major life change that can feel overwhelming at times.

Resources like Top Move can simplify the process by taking care of logistics and keeping costs down. The tradition of Feng Shui will provide you with advice and guidance on the big day.

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese practice that creates harmony between people and their environment by balancing the flow of Qi(universal energy). It harmonizes spaces using tools such as astrology, geography, and architecture. This tradition allows you to arrange living spaces and outdoor areas to promote health, prosperity, and balance.

This guide explores the Feng Shui lucky dates for moving in 2025, offering ways to infuse harmony into your space, promote the flow of Qi, and ensure that life in your new home is off to a positive start.

Are there auspicious dates for moving?

Yes! Choosing a lucky moving date based on Feng Shui traditions can set the tone for success, harmony, and prosperity in your new home.

Aligning your move with auspicious dates helps ensure positive energy and a seamless transition. When picking a lucky moving date, consider two key factors: your family’s Chinese zodiac sign and your new home's orientation.

Depending on the direction your home is facing, avoid dates for moving that clash with these elements:

• East-facing homes: Avoid metal dates (Si, You, Chou).
• West-facing homes: Avoid wood dates (Hai, Mou, Wei).
• South-facing homes: Avoid water dates (Shen, Zi, Chen).
• North-facing homes: Avoid fire dates (Yin, Wu, Xu).

Some dates are deemed unlucky. Before reading about each month’s auspicious moving dates, it’s good to be aware of Ghost Day and Ghost Month.

Chinese Ghost Month

In Chinese culture, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is called Ghost Day, and the entire month is referred to as 'Ghost Month'. Similar to Halloween in Western traditions, Mexico’s Day of the Dead, and the Celtic festival of Samhain, it is believed that spirits and ghosts, including those of deceased ancestors, rise from the underworld to visit the living.

On Ghost Day, Taoists and Buddhists hold rituals to ease the suffering of these spirits.

Ghost Month is considered an unlucky time for moving because relocating is thought to disturb spirits, which could lead to bad luck or negative energy. Making major life changes or decisions during this period is seen as taboo.

In 2025, Ghost Day falls on August 25.

A Feng Shui calendar for luck, harmony, good health and prosperity:

• January lucky dates to move
• February lucky dates to move
• March lucky dates to move
• April lucky dates to move
• May lucky dates to move
• June lucky dates to move
• July lucky dates to move
• August lucky dates to move
• September lucky dates to move
• October lucky dates to move
• November lucky dates to move
• December lucky dates to move

January lucky dates to move

In the Western world, January (specifically New Year) is a time that symbolizes new beginnings, making it a good time to move houses and start fresh.

Feng Shui practice says to move 27 things around your home on New Year's Day to promote fortune and luck for the new year. If you move on this day, you will have no problem moving that many items!

While the weather isn’t ideal in January, you can benefit from choosing this month to move by using your Christmas holiday time to prepare and pack. As it’s not a typical time to move, companies often offer lower rates.

February lucky dates to move

Similar to January, moving companies may have lower rates in February. This time is known as the moving “off-season”. Home prices are often lower in February as well.

Half of February’s auspicious dates favour homes that face west. If your new home is west-facing, February may be the perfect time to plan your move!

Winter often brings extreme temperatures, so be sure that all vehicles are equipped with suitable tires.

March lucky dates to move

March is the month of the Spring Equinox. The equinox marks the New Year for those in Iran and China, some European pagan groups, some North American Indigenous groups, and other cultures, who have existed long before the Gregorian calendar became a global timekeeper.

Therefore, March represents rebirth, new beginnings, and fresh starts. As the weather starts to warm up, conditions improve for moving.

In Feng Shui, the spring equinox is a time to reset your physical space and reflect on your life. It's a time of balance and new beginnings. The moving process can include the informal tradition of spring cleaning.

The first two weeks of March host the seasonal event "Insects Awaken," which is considered a beautiful time of year.

In Chinese culture, the ‘sweep tomb period’, 10 days before Qing Ming Day (Tomb Sweeping Day) on April 4th, is considered inauspicious, so try and plan your move during the first 3 weeks of March. Qingming Day is a traditional festival where families honour their ancestors by visiting their graves, cleaning the tombstones, and making offerings to show respect and remembrance.

Despite the inauspicious days of the sweep tomb period, several days in March are considered lucky for planning a moving day.

April lucky dates to move

Now we are in the fullness of springtime, when rains keep the earth fertile, and flowers are beginning to bloom. Similar to flowers blooming, April is a time of openings and new growth; the perfect symbol for setting up a new home and “opening up” to a new environment and neighbourhoods.

There aren’t many auspicious moving days in April. However, 3 of the lucky days favour homes that face East. Consider choosing April as your moving time if your new home is East-facing.

April’s mild weather and increased daylight hours are favourable for your moving day. This month is also the perfect time to establish a new garden.

May lucky dates to move

Historically, May has been a time to celebrate fertility. Flowers are in full bloom, the air is warm and fragrant, and there is a feeling of optimism and excitement for the summer to come.

Kids are finishing their school year, making May a preferable time to move for families. It’s also the beginning of peak moving season, so make your plans early and take advantage of helpful moving resources such as Top Move to keep costs down and ensure reliable services.

The positive energy of May promotes abundance, perfect for organising and envisioning your new environment.

June lucky dates to move

In the northern hemisphere, June is the summer solstice. It also has the longest day of the year. Schools are finishing, kids are excited, and summer adventures lay ahead.

In Feng Shui, the summer solstice is when the 'element of fire' is at its peak. Fire is considered cleansing and purifying, so this month is a great time for letting go of the past — including letting go of material possessions in preparation for your move and saying goodbye to your former home.

Use the electric energy of June to fuel the numerous tasks (both mental and physical) during your moving process. School ends around the third week of June, freeing up time for your family to focus on packing and moving.

July lucky dates to move

The days are long, the weather is hot, and summer is in full swing. While everyone else is focused on vacations and family with no school schedules to manage, July could be a good month to move houses.

Summer correlates to the fire element in Feng Shui, and can bring confidence and energy to your big life decisions. Fire enhances creativity—perfect for planning and setting up a new garden and home.

Rates will be more competitive as this is a ‘peak-moving season’. Top Move is a platform that helps you find the best possible rates for your moving needs.

August lucky dates to move

August is Ghost Month, and as mentioned above, it is inauspicious to move houses during this month. However, due to external circumstances, some people do have to move in August.

If you make sure your family’s zodiac signs align with your moving day, and that the direction your home faces aligns with your chosen day, then the Feng Shui of your big day will bring harmony to your efforts.

Another bonus of moving in August is that your children are on their summer break, giving the family plenty of time to adjust to a new neighbourhood before schools start again.

In August, the days are long, the weather is fair, and there are 10 auspicious dates to choose from. These factors will help to ensure you have a smooth and successful moving day.

September lucky dates to move

September marks Traditional Chinese Medicine's Late Summer season and isn’t as hot and busy as the other summer months.

Late Summer is considered a 5th season in TCM and is a period of balance and stability.

These qualities are favourable if you're planning a moving day during this time.

October lucky dates to move

According to Feng Shui traditions, October is a time of good fortune, social and intellectual pursuits, and romance. To move during a month of good fortune brings harmony to your home and family.

In the global north, Autumn is a time to feast and celebrate the abundance of fall harvest. Families and friends gather together to share food and stories, and express gratitude.

October falls right after peak-moving season, and this lull creates availability and lower rates among moving companies.

November lucky dates to move

To make things easier while moving, the cooler temperatures in November make physical tasks like moving boxes and furniture more comfortable.

The longer nights also offer a great chance to play with different lighting options, such as dimmers, track lighting, lamps, or candles. Here are some Feng Shui tips for setting up your lighting:

• Use warm light: Use warm light LED or incandescent bulbs for accent and ambient lighting.
• Use natural light: Position furniture to maximize exposure to natural light from windows and skylights.
• Use soft lighting: Choose table and desk lamps for bedrooms and hallways to create soft lighting.
• Use a light bulb that mimics natural sunlight: If there's not enough natural light, use a full-spectrum light bulb that mimics natural sunlight.

On top of having lower rates for moving companies due to November being part of the off-season, storage rates tend to be lower as well.

This is helpful if you need to store anything between moves, or if you are moving to a smaller space that can’t accommodate all of your belongings.

December Lucky Dates to Move

According to Feng Shui, December is an ideal time to invite abundance and prosperity into your home.

There are Feng Shui principles to increase these qualities:

• Declutter: Out with the old, and in with the new. As we approach the New Year and perhaps the influx of Christmas gifts, December is an excellent time for sorting your belongings and donating anything you don’t need.
• The Christmas Tree: Place your tree in a southeast area of your home, as the southeast is considered the wealth corner according to Feng Shui.
