Auspicious Dates for Moving House 2027
40 dates under the strict almanac reading · 111 under the loose count
Moving into a new home (入宅 / 移徙) is one of the classic almanac activities: the date is chosen so that the household "settles" — in the almanac's language, on a day that is Stable, Successful or Open and whose entry names moving as favourable. This page applies those rules to every day of 2027, the Fire Goat year, and lists the dates that pass — 40 in total under the strict reading used here, against 111 under the loose "almanac says favourable" count that most online calendars use.
The move itself is timed for daylight (traditionally before noon), the stove and the bed are the first things carried in, and the head of the household's zodiac must not be the day's clash animal. The Chinese year for these purposes starts at Lichun, 4 February 2027; January dates below still belong to the previous Tai Sui year and are filtered with its Year Breaker.
The five filters behind every date
| Rule | Chinese | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Day Officer in {定, 成, 开} | 建除取定/成/开 | Of the twelve officers only Stable, Success and Open are used for moving house; the rhyme "成开皆可用" plus 定 for settling. |
| Almanac lists 入宅/移徙 as favourable and not as unfavourable | 通书宜忌 | The day's recommend/avoid lists come from the almanac tables (tyme4ts), not hand-copied. |
| Not a Sui Po day | 排岁破 | Days whose branch clashes with that day's own Tai Sui are excluded for every event — from Lichun 2027 that is every 丑 (Ox) day; January dates are checked against the previous year's Tai Sui. |
| Not a four-separation or four-severance day | 排四离四绝 | The day before each equinox/solstice (四离) and before each season start (四绝) is traditionally avoided for marriage and major moves. |
| Not your clash day | 不冲本命 | Each row names the animal the day clashes with; if that is your sign (or the host's), pick another day. Use the selector on this page to highlight them. |

Frequently asked questions
- How many auspicious days for moving house are there in 2027?
- 40 under the strict reading (Day Officer 定/成/开 + almanac favourable + no Sui Po or four-separation days). The loose count — any day whose almanac entry lists the activity as favourable — is 111.
- Which month of 2027 has the most auspicious days for moving house?
- December (5 days). Fewest: February (1).
- What does the clash animal mean?
- Each day's branch is directly opposite one branch; people born under that sign traditionally avoid important events on that day. The clash animal is listed for every date so you can skip your own.
- Why does this list differ from other 2027 almanac sites?
- Most sites list every day whose almanac entry says "favourable". This page also requires one of the three strongest Day Officers and removes the Year Breaker and four-separation days, which cuts the list roughly in half; the rule names are printed next to every date so you can see which filter applied.
