I am moving house on the 27th July (tomorrow). I have been restricted in my move date due to my job. This is a very auspicious day based on my birth, but is July or the 7th month a bad time to move and is there anything I can do to make the move as auspicious as possible?

Dear Chrissy,

Actually the Chinese 7th month has already started (25th July 2006). This year because of the intercalarymonth falling on 7th lunar month, there is an extra 7th month. Therefore, this year, the Chinese 7th month lasts until 21 September 2006.

Traditionally, this is more of a Chinese custom of not moving-in during the Chinese 7th month.

However, previously, when information flow is not as prevalent or as international as today, many non-Chinese still continue to move-in during (the Chinese 7th month).

Thus, if you are not a Chinese nor do not stay in Asia, then, for practical reasons, you can still move-in during "our - Chinese" 7th month. As not all Chinese practices applies "across-the-board" to other countries.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

P.S. For the Chinese, often it common to do some of the things stated in the attachment - to bring in auspicious luck into the home.You may consider some or select some of the practises.
