Is it okay to move in during ghost month?
The second-best option is Sunday, September 28th.
It is strongly advised to avoid moving during Ghost Month (August 15th - September 12th, 2025), especially for a significant life event like moving into a new house.
1. The 2025 Ghost Month Consideration (Most Important)
2025 Ghost Month: It runs from August 15th to September 12th on the Western calendar. The peak (Ghost Day) is on August 29th.
Is it okay to move? Traditionally, it is highly discouraged. This period is considered inauspicious for starting new ventures, as it's a time when negative or wandering spirits are believed to be most active. Moving into a new home, which should be a joyful and prosperous new beginning (full of Yang energy), is best done when the energy of the world is more positive and stable. Moving during Ghost Month is thought to potentially invite restlessness, misfortune, or bad luck into the new home.
Conclusion: You should avoid moving between September 1st and September 12th. The auspicious window for moving in September 2025 begins only after September 12th.
2. Auspicious Date Selection for September 2025 (After Ghost Month)
Since Ghost Month ends on September 13th, we will look for the first available auspicious days that are also compatible with your animal signs and your house's facing direction.
Your Animal Signs: Horse (午) and Snake (巳)
House Facing: South (associated with the Fire element)
The most auspicious days in September 2025 for moving house are:
Top Recommendation: September 13, 2025 (Saturday)
Lunar Date: The Twenty-Second Day of the Seventh Lunar Month. This is the first day after Ghost Month officially ends.
Why it's good:
This day is specifically marked in the Chinese almanac as highly suitable for "入宅" (rù zhái - moving into a new house).
It does not clash with either the Horse (午) or the Snake (巳).
The energy of the day is compatible with a South-facing (Fire element) house.
It's a Saturday, which is practically convenient for moving.
Excellent Alternative: September 28, 2025 (Sunday)
Lunar Date: The Seventh Day of the Eighth Lunar Month.
Why it's good:
This is another prime day designated for moving in.
It avoids clashing with your animal signs and is favorable for your South-facing home.
The number 7 on the 8th month can be interpreted as a symbol of togetherness and prosperity (8 is the number of wealth).
It's a Sunday, which is also very convenient.
Other Suitable Days in September 2025:
September 17, 2025 (Wednesday) - A good day for moving in.
September 21, 2025 (Sunday) - Another viable option.
3. Your Animal Signs and House Facing
Horse & Snake Compatibility: This is an excellent combination. The Snake (巳) and Horse (午) are neighbors in the Chinese zodiac and are naturally allied. They are both associated with the Fire element, which means they support and strengthen each other. This makes finding a mutually beneficial date easier.
House Facing South: A South-facing house is governed by the Fire element. This is perfectly aligned with your Horse sign (also Fire) and is very supportive for the Snake (whose hidden element is also Fire). This harmony means the energy of the house naturally supports both of you. When choosing a date, we would avoid days dominated by the Water element (which clashes with Fire), such as those associated with the Rat (子) or Pig (亥). The dates recommended above are already chosen to be compatible.
Absolute Avoidance: Never move on a day that directly clashes with your sign.
Horse (午) clashes with Rat (子).
Snake (巳) clashes with Pig (亥).
Choose a Time: The Chinese almanac also recommends specific hours of the day for moving. The most generally auspicious time window is usually between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
Practicality: While tradition is important, also choose a date that works logistically for you, your partner, and your movers.
Conclusion: For the best balance of powerful tradition and practical astrology, aim for Saturday, September 13th, 2025. If that is not possible, Sunday, September 28th is a powerful and auspicious alternative.
Congratulations on your new home! 恭喜乔迁之喜！ (Gōngxǐ qiáoqiān zhī xǐ!)
