Milgram Neutral Newbie February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 Hi all, I understand that people do not normally move house during the 7th month Hungry Ghost Festival. What about Qing Ming Jie? Is it advisable to move house during Qing Ming Jie? Also, anyone here can direct me to an affordable and (more importantly) credible person versed in the Tongshu who could advise me on what's a good time to move house based on my Ba-Zi? Thanks! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 generally i don't see a problem... during 7th month, it is understandable because those spirits without accomodation will be let out to roam. during Qing Ming, it is for spirits of relative to come out to meet their loved ones. they will not visit any other homes!

Watwheels Supersonic February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 I think you have to inform your ancestors that you are moving. I have never heard of Qing ming cannot move house but that's just me. Actually you dun have to look at what Tong shu. If you are able to get your hands on some calendars with lunar date & many things related, that's good enough. Those one big stack of calendar where you can tear away dates piece by piece. You can see that on such calendars they will mentioned on that certain day it's good for things like moving house, getting married, moving furnitures etc etc. And the bad things also. You will find them under "yi"(good day for doing some things) and "xiong" (not a good day for a certain activities). But there are also instances where like housing moving is not mentioned in either of the "yi" or "xiong". YOu can find out for yourself and can save some money. Good luck.

Here's a slightly more detail on moving in process. Things to buy/prepare: - Charcoal stove, tarma (apparatus used to start a charcoal fire), charcoal - Special incense (for cleansing of the house) - New container to boil water - Pomegranate or Pomelo leaves (with branches) Procedure: 1. Turn off everything (lights, electricity, etc.) in the house and everybody moves out of the house. 2. Start fire on stove outside the house. 3. The 2 owners of the house carry the burning stove into the house, reciting auspicious phrases. 4. After going round the house once, place the fire on the kitchen stove, then boil water using the new container. 5. Turn on all the lights, electricity, music, etc. and open all the doors and windows Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acemundo Supercharged February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 yes..is for remembrance...but some religious teaching has it that it is because the spiritual world open during that period for them to be revered by their loved ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigysaint Clutched February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 there's a shop at the basement of FU LU SHOU... using computerised TONG SHU to find the right time and date for u. it's pretty cheap.. others were charging >$88 for 3 dates for u to choose.. but this shop which is just beside the herbal shop if i'm not wrong.. is charging only $50... can give it a try.. so far it's been accurate for me...

Don't know those calendars zhun or not. I ever seen 2 calendars give direct opposite advise for the same date. One say 凶, one say 吉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic February 19, 2009 Share February 19, 2009 I dunno leh. So far it works for me. The house moving process was smooth. I'm not that extreme into believing such things. My mum confirmed for me by looking at another calendar. I dun do things like carry a stove of burning charcoal around the house or anything like that. But I do keep a fire extinguisher, keep sharp objects away and dun put too many things in the way. Making sure the gas pipes especially that there's no leak at the joints. Anyway my mum did the extreme, she brought some nuns over to cleanse the whole house by reciting Buddha scriptures and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
