Ideal time to clean house
According to feng shui expert Nguyen Hoang, the best time to move house is from the 20th to the 28th of the 12th lunar month. This is the time when families can arrange to do a general cleaning of the house without being too rushed. However, it is important to avoid moving house on the 30th of the 12th lunar month, because according to feng shui, this action can unintentionally mean "sweeping wealth" out of the house.
The time of day for cleaning is also important. Morning or noon is ideal because the strong natural light helps to dispel negative energy and bring good energy into the house. On the contrary, the evening is often a time when the yang energy is weak, not favorable for cleaning.
Good days to choose to move house
You can consult the almanac to choose Hoang Dao, Sinh Khi or Luc Hop days. These are considered to bring good luck and convenience. Some suggested days in the 12th lunar month that are often chosen by many people are December 22, 25 and 28.
