myfs_140469 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Hi Mr Cecil,For house moving , if we need to take a few days to move all the things into the new house, and if we do not have many choices of auspicious date to choose from ( as the most auspicious date and the next one can be 2 weeks apart) In this case, should we choose the auspicious day to be the day we first move in the first box or the day that we move in the most important things like altar etc or the day that the whole family shift and stay there?Thanks.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted November 4, 2011 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2011 These are some of the considerations:1. Under symbolism in traditional belief; move-in technically is the day one sleeps over-night in that home or apartment.2. Again under symbolism; placing a set of one's night clothing e.g. husband and wife senario; a set of night clothes each are placed on the bed (over-night). This symbolises a "move-in".3. Please note that auspicious dates are considered NICE-to and not a MUST-have.4. So long as the day is not very inauspicious or inauspicious; any other significance e.g. average day or mixed-blessings may be acceptable.5. Bringing in items or things into a home often does not constitute a move-in. For example, it is very common to order a fridge, sofa set, dining set much earlier.6. Moving in the god is often not considered the actual move-in. As one is only moving in the god. 6.1. Furthermore, it is best not to move in the god too early. For example, if one moves in the god say on 10 November. 6.2. But only move in on 11 December, it is considered disrespectful to leave the god at the new home. Here, one may perhaps, on alternate days, need to go to the new home e.g. to light up the joss sticks or at least every week change the offerings. 7. A proper move in is when; on the move-in day, one utilises the kitchen stove to boil water and/or cook; often take a bathe at the new home and also sleep over-night or refer to Para 2, above for a symbolic move.8. Thus, if one buys out-side food and eat-in; is not counted as "move-in"; also.
