Relocation (Yí Xǐ)

Moving or relocating one's residence. ⚠️ Differs from '入宅' (Rùzhái) in that it is not limited to moving into a new house.

移徙 (Yíxǐ) refers broadly to the act of moving or relocating one's residence. It differs from '入宅' (Rùzhái) in that it does not necessarily involve moving into a brand-new house; it could simply mean moving from one old residence to another, or relocating a rental property. Traditional date selection (擇日) considers that changes in one's living environment affect personal qi and fortune. Therefore, whether moving into a new home or switching rentals, it is advisable to select a suitable day for '移徙' to ensure a smooth relocation process and stable settlement in the new environment. The habit of consulting almanacs to choose moving dates remains very common among modern people when renting or changing homes.
