3 best days to move in
Good hours are traditional 2-hour blocks (giờ hoàng đạo). Use the local clock where you move. Many families carry in rice, salt and water or light incense in one of these blocks, then move the rest any time.

Common mistake: Waiting for a “perfect” day and paying an extra month of rent or a moving rush fee. Many families do a short ceremony on the good day, then move the furniture on the weekend.

Two-month calendar

Good (hoàng đạo) Ordinary Avoid

Each box: solar date, lunar date, day branch. Tap a day for details.

How days are marked: Good = hoàng đạo day (Thanh Long, Minh Đường, Kim Quỹ, Kim Đường, Ngọc Đường, Tư Mệnh). Avoid = Tam Nương (lunar 3, 7, 13, 18, 22, 27), Nguyệt Kỵ (lunar 5, 14, 23), or a day that clashes with your birth year (lục xung). Tam hợp / lục hợp with your age ranks a day higher.
