This "quick" question has no definite answers nowadays. I assume you are asking about "move-in" date, instead of "moving house". House is considered as immovable property, cannot be moved. Only human and things being moved into that house. Allow me to explain in some details then you can judge on your own.

The "good" dates pick for moving, wedding, reno, construction, or whatever events(including making love!), originated from concept of "动土". Chinese has 24 jieqi(节气) system and believed that any sucessful completion of an event is weather-related. 通书 breaks the 24 jieqi into more details, and has some classification systems as to "good", or "bad" for "动土".

"动土" is event and weather-related. Some events take a few hours, some few days, some few years for "completion". Traditionally it always refers to the "first moment" of the start of an event.

If follows this definition, I couldn't tell when was my "move-in" date. It should be considered as the very first day, the first moment I "steped" into this house right after ownership exchange hand, not necessary "sleeping over night" within the house, not to mention moving those things in.

i think move house means to stay in there as Day 1, then u have to switch on all the lights overnight.

In 2006 July, when I received key for condo, before reno started, I brought with me one electric bulb and one carton box and slept there during Sat night. Total 2 Sat nights.

Best not to take in those "auspicious dates" defined by those "fsms".

My late father taught us how to "read" 通书=历书 when I was a boy. He did not explain in great details and I failed to appreciate and comprehen his intention, until I learnt more about sun/earth/moon/stars. He brought with him this bible when he alone immigrated from China to Singapore at age of 21. I'm no 8 in the family of 9 bro/sis, topdown. The language in 通书, full of "jargon" and at first look, seem "superstitious", 2nd look - "rubbish", 3rd look -how come here got mention this...4th look - not so bad, 5th look(many years later) - a book of wisdow, full of treasure. No wonder he brought this "treasure" with him from China. He wanted us to discover the treasure by ourselves, now I appreciated his intention....Life is always that finding treasure in rubbish, and true fact is treasure is just right in front, most of the times - some never understand, some realised at "last minute", some learnt in early stage, consume/enjoy treasure quietly. Ok, Long story cut short.

In summary, as long as one starts any event in any day in any hour, taking into consideration of 天时, 地利, 人和 factors, being at upper hand already. You have to find out this treasure yourself, I just show the "key".

I agree that the "Tong Shu" is truely incredible! Written over 2000 years ago and still correct till now.

I never appreciated it till I wanted to give my girl a good name, I started to try to check up of timing, 5 elements then I appreciate the complexity of it.

Good idea to spend some money to ask a Feng SHui master to see your home whether you truely believe or not. Just to make your environment more suited for your living.
