applefreak 1 Report post Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) the chinese seventh month starts on 13 Aug but actually it's okay to move during that period.the seventh month is originally a time for pple to show filial piety (dun know how to spell), it's the story about how a son broke into h.ell to rescue his mother and in the process free all the ghost in h.ell. only thing is the yin qi is stronger in the seventh month so if you have weak or elderly family member, better not move.for painting, can consider getting the nippon paint service where they come down to your place and do a 'visual' on how the paint will make the place look using a software. check out more details here Edited June 7, 2007 by applefreak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
