Lucky Days to Move House, 2026
All 65 days of 2026 that are Taian, Tenshabi or Ichiryū-manbai-bi, leaving out the unlucky Fujōju-bi and Jushi-bi and days that are Butsumetsu or Shakkō. Sanrinbō is really an unlucky day for building, so it is marked rather than removed (some regions avoid it for moving too).
On this page
Tenshabi left out: May 20 (Fujōju-bi), Jul 19 (Jushi-bi, Fujōju-bi), Oct 1 (Butsumetsu), Dec 16 (Shakkō). We follow the view that Jushi-bi and Fujōju-bi cancel out a lucky day.

2.How to pick a moving day
- ◎ is Tenshabi, or a day with two or more lucky notes (days during Doyō that are not rest days are given ○). ○ is a day that is either Taian or Ichiryū-manbai-bi.
- The lucky day for a move is usually judged by the day you move into the new home (the day the boxes go in), not the day you leave.
- During Doyō, work that moves the soil is avoided. Whether that includes moving house depends on region and tradition; if it worries you, pick a Doyō rest day (marked “Doyō (rest day)” in the tables). The rest days are Snake, Horse and Rooster days in spring Doyō; Rabbit, Dragon and Monkey days in summer; Goat, Rooster and Pig days in autumn; and Tiger, Rabbit and Snake days in winter.
- In the rokuyō, Senshō is lucky in the morning and Senbu in the afternoon: useful if you can choose the time.
- Until the Edo period, moving (watamashi) was timed by the twelve choku and by Kiko-nichi and Ōmō-nichi. The rokuyō became popular only in the late Edo period, and the habit of favouring Taian spread after the Meiji era, especially after the war.
- Ichiryū-manbai-bi makes what you start multiply. It suits the start of a new life, but because debts are said to multiply too, some people sign a mortgage on another day.
3.Check the direction too
As important as the day is the direction of your new home. In Nine Star Ki it is best to move toward a direction that is lucky in that year and month. Find your lucky directions for this year and each month and plan with both the date and the direction.
