Why not move in the twelfth lunar month? What's the saying?
The twelfth lunar month is close to the New Year. Normally, moving house during this time would be considered a festive occasion before the New Year. However, there is a saying that one should not move house in the twelfth lunar month. Why is that? The twelfth month of the lunar calendar has many nicknames, such as Ladong, Candong, Qiongdong, Layue, and Bingyue. The most familiar name is "Layue". Let’s take a look at Shuimoxiansheng.com’s special topic for the twelfth month of the lunar calendar in 2018.

Why can’t we move house in the twelfth lunar month?

1. From the perspective of Feng Shui, the twelfth lunar month is relatively cold. If you move into a new house in the twelfth lunar month, the cold atmosphere will destroy the prosperity of the home. 2. From a living perspective, the saying “you can’t move in the twelfth lunar month” is actually based on the consideration that the temperature in a new house is relatively low, and living in it may be bad for the health of family members.

What are the taboos when moving?

1. When moving, it is best to have someone else handle the things that need to be moved out of the new house. It is best to do things yourself when moving into a new house. When moving into a new house, the whole family must not enter the house empty-handed. Things need to be moved if no one is in hand, and the person in authority in the family should enter the house first. The rest of the large items can be moved in a few days before moving into the house, and do not position them yet until an auspicious time to place them. 2. Those who face the east should avoid moving on the days of Si, You and Chou (three metal elements). Those who face west should avoid moving on the days of Hai, Mao and Wei (the three elements that combine to form wood). Those who live south should avoid moving on the days of Shen, Zi and Chen (the three elements combining water). People who live in the north should avoid moving on the days of Yin, Wu and Xu (the three elements combining fire). 3. There are also house-moving ceremonies to follow. This depends on local customs. Some places prefer to light incense when entering the door, while others prefer to set off firecrackers when moving. Many people may think they are superstitious, but these customs are still maintained. They are rules passed down for thousands of years, and people will still follow them in order to get good luck.
