Hi,

I've recently bought a resale apartment and intent to renovate it asap. I understand that renovation is not advisable during the 7th month, but there are two 7th months this year. This will greatly impact our wedding schedule and we might not be able to get the house ready in time to move in.

Is it ok for renovation to start during the second 7th month (as it is supposed to be the false 7th month) and if so, can I start the renovation on any date or do I have to find an auspicious date to start?

Thanks

Dear Eric,

Frankly, if there is a double 7th month, often if someone is celebrating their lunar birthday; then the 1st 7th month is considered their birthday.

Given that you have a constrain, here i.e. delay if renovations do not start, then, for practical reasons, you may carry out your renovations. But during the renovation period, avoid or try not to visit the home frequently especially to spent time to eat - sleep or eat - bathe or bathe-eat, there. Avoid performing a "supervisory" role during the 7th month when renovations are carried out.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
