Is it good to move in the ninth month of the lunar calendar

Moving in the ninth month of the lunar calendar can be good or bad, and the customs and preferences vary from place to place.
From a traditional customs perspective, it is possible to move in the ninth month of the lunar calendar. As long as you choose an auspicious day according to the traditional Chinese calendar, and the day is not conflicting with the zodiac sign of the house owner, then it is acceptable to move.
However, from a Buddhist custom perspective, it is not advisable to move in the ninth month of the lunar calendar. Because Buddhism considers the first, fifth, and ninth months of the lunar calendar to be "forbidden months," during which one should abstain from meat and avoid slaughtering animals. Those who have a deep faith may feel that since it is a forbidden month, everything should be avoided, hence the saying that it's not advisable to move in the ninth month.

Moving tips

1. When moving, sort out the rooms one by one to avoid missing any items.
2. When moving, it's best to pack the less frequently used items first. If the most frequently used items are packed first, it's easy to miss some items after packing. Also, it will be inconvenient to organize them at the new home.
3. When putting things into large boxes, make sure there are no empty spaces left in the box, meaning that the items inside should not have any room to move around, to prevent damage during transportation.
4. When moving, use thick paper to protect sharp items such as knives and scissors to avoid damaging other items.
