If we ignore the hassle, the eternal lack of time and the movers stuck in traffic, moving is just the movement of things from one point in space to another. In a sense, drinking beer with friends is the closest analogy to moving: you just move it from a mug to your stomach. Let this thought calm you when it turns out that you still forgot the TV in the old apartment.
Two months before moving
Time is the main enemy. Because of its lack, something can be forgotten, lost, broken. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for a migration to a new place in advance.
█ Buy a large folder and a notebook for notes (possibly with a unicorn on the cover). You will write down all the information about the move in a notebook, and in a folder you will keep business cards, checks and other documents related to the move, as well as the phone numbers and names of workers, drivers, realtors, tenants and buyers of old things. Even if the contacts of a painter or an electrician now seem superfluous, let them also be in a notebook. Suddenly, in a new place, not everything is so perfect?
█ Obtain 20 cardboard boxes. When folded, they do not take up much space, but this amount should be enough for the entire move. Boxes suitable for carrying and storing things are found in the following places:
grocery stores are the most budget option, you just need to come up from the back door and ask to sell you extra packaging;
furniture stores of the IKEA format - here strong cardboard boxes cost 40-50 rubles apiece;
moving companies - there are special people who are ready to take on all the difficulties of moving for a certain amount. Usually a big one. But you will find them boxes of all possible shapes and colors.
█ Bags, newspapers, bubble wrap and colorful stickers should be in abundance, especially since they can come in handy after the move. Also buy two or three markers to write on different surfaces.
█ Don't skimp on tape! With it, you can fix everything in the world (our experts, who have repeatedly been glued to chairs and walls at parties, will confirm this). And stock up on a dispenser for adhesive tape - with it the packaging will go much faster.
One month before moving
The moment of truth: I want to take everything with me. However, things suddenly turn out to be indecently many, as if they had been saving them not for 30 years, but for all ninety, and even borrowed from neighbors.
█ Use the rule that we already wrote about: if a thing has not been used for more than a year, most likely it is not needed. Take a picture of the thing and post on the website an advertisement for a sale or a gift on a self-delivery basis.
█ Transport furniture is best dismantled. At the same time, it turns out that old chipboard cabinets are unlikely to survive this procedure and it will definitely not be possible to assemble them in a new place: the screws will not want to fit tightly into the holes. It would be better to offer this junk to neighbors - let them take it to the dacha or feed it to beavers.
█ Collect documents in one folder and put it in the one where you put checks, business cards, etc. If you still keep instructions from home electronics, this is a chance to throw them away, they are still on the Internet.
█ Start packing. Remember that heavily loaded boxes tend to lose their bottom at the most unexpected moment, so it's a good idea to add voluminous but light blankets or pillows to heavy books, for example.
Two weeks before moving
█ The temptation is great to invite friends to help. This, of course, is great, but the move risks turning into a fun booze with a random ending, and you will have to ask yourself for a broken iron. We recommend using the services of professional carriers (can be found on the Internet). And in general, after you said goodbye to student life, it is a shame to attract friends for repairs, moving and meetings at the airport.
█ You will have to conclude an agreement with the moving company, according to which it bears full financial responsibility for things damaged during transportation.
█ On the websites of some carrier companies there are convenient calculators for calculating all services, including packaging, delivery and vehicle rental. But the final cost will still need to be clarified: there may be non-obvious factors like “lifting the piano to the 15th floor without an elevator.”
█ If you already had experience with the carrier company, you should have kept the phone number of the team leader. Call him and try to arrange to do the work bypassing the cash register. In this case, the money will go directly into the pocket of the movers and the price will be about 50% lower, but you will not conclude an official contract.
█ Prepare stickers for all areas of the home: kitchen, bedroom, operating room. Each will require stickers of its own color, on which you will write the contents of the boxes.
Instruction
For moving, it is best to choose a free day in order to have time to transport all things in the morning, and in the evening to clean and arrange. This, of course, depends on the amount of your belongings: if you have no furniture or very little of it, you can meet the move in a few hours. But if you first have to disassemble, pack, and then load all the furniture from the apartment into transport, it is better to start this process in advance, without waiting for darkness.
Usually free days for the working population are on Saturday and Sunday. On the one hand, the weekend is the perfect time to move into a new house or apartment. On Saturday, you can transport things, and on Sunday, calmly furnish a new home. However, remember that on weekends, transport companies may charge at an increased rate, in addition, many people move these days, so cars can be busy. So you need to order the transportation of things in advance, without waiting for the moment when things are already folded. It is best to place an order for a cargo taxi at the end of the working week, and on the day of the move, call and clarify the time of transportation.
When ordering a car for moving, you should keep in mind the general traffic situation in the city. Most cargo taxis are charged by the hour, and if a truck with things is stuck in traffic and is delayed by even 10 minutes in fulfilling your order, you will have to pay extra for an entire hour of its work, and this is a considerable amount. Therefore, if you want to save money, it is best not to call the car in the morning and evening on a weekday when people go to offices and return from work. The situation is especially difficult on Friday afternoons and until late in the evening. But on weekends, you can choose almost any time to move.
If you follow the signs, the most favorable day for transporting things to a new place is Tuesday. Business activity rises precisely on this day of the week and by Friday is already on the decline. Moving will also be favorable on Thursday and Saturday, while Wednesday, Friday and Sunday are better not to be occupied with such important matters. It is best to leave your old home clean and tidy - this is how you show respect for the former home and its new owners, keep only the best memories of your former life.
Among the signs that folk wisdom suggests for those who are moving, there will be a tradition to let the cat into the house first, to enter the apartment only after the eldest family member, not to cross the threshold of the house for the first time without a useful burden in the hands and finish unpacking things as soon as possible in order to rid the house of negative energy.

Crossing the threshold of a new home, a person seems to be entering a new life. Whether this life will be prosperous depends on the observance by the new settlers of many signs. It is believed that if you perform the necessary rituals when you move in, then life in the new house will develop happily.
Most importantly, you need to put positive energy in your new home. First of all, the apartment must be “cleaned” of negativity. For this, a branch of dried St. John's wort, a candle from the church or incense with the smell of lavender is suitable. The first circle is made, starting from the door, counterclockwise, in order to burn out all the accumulated negativity, then clockwise, imagining how well you will live in a new house. Then, standing in front of the door, stretch your arms with your palms up and imagine that you are placing a protective shield in front of the front door of the apartment. What color this shield will be is up to you. Gold, purple or lilac color will bring wealth to your home. Pink and scarlet colors promise love and tender relationships in the family. Blue, gray will ensure success in business. Yellow, orange, green - bring health. Silver or white will help attract good people and helpers into the house.
Advice to anyone who moves: leave your old apartment in good condition. If the faucets are leaking, don't be too lazy to fix it. By fixing the problems, you will free yourself from the negativity that could accumulate during your stay in this house.
Before moving into a new home, check the electrical wiring, gas, water and sewer pipes throughout the home. Make sure everything works properly, because. broken things bring bad luck.
Invite a priest to bless your new home.
Do not forget to hang a horseshoe on the front door so that its ends look up, so the favorable energy in the house will accumulate. If you hang a horseshoe upside down, then all the goodness from the house will leak. You can also hang it in the shape of the letter "C", this will mean that Happiness lives in the house.
In order for the new house to be filled with a special atmosphere, and, crossing its threshold, you feel that you have come to your own house, make repairs before moving in. Even if it's small. If this is not yet possible, then general cleaning can be an alternative to repair.
By the way, with a rag in one hand and a mop in the other, you can feel like a magician. To do this, you just need to imagine that with a rag you are erasing not only dust, but also all harmful and evil energy, and with a broom you seem to drive away evil spirits.
The energy of our home is very much connected with our emotions. When you clean your new home, you clean it not only from dirt and dust, but also from negative energy. Then take on the arrangement of things. Do it joyfully, remembering something good and charging your new home with positive energy.
When moving, it is customary to let the cat in first. This tradition has been around for a very long time. It is believed that the cat lies down in place, with negative energy and "takes it over." In addition, they say that a cat, entering a new home, chooses a place that should belong to the brownie. She sits or lies down and does not move for a long time. But the cat must be yours. Animals "for hire" are not suitable for such a mission.
Then the oldest man in the family should enter the apartment.
Spouses must move into the house together. Moreover, a pregnant woman should not take part in the housewarming. Therefore, if the new mistress of the house is “in position”, it is better to postpone the housewarming.
When you move into a new house, first bring in the icons, then money, rice, oil, sugar and salt, and then everything else.
Immediately go around all the rooms, turn on the lights everywhere or light candles.
The new house should announce your favorite song or just a nice tune. These sounds will attract positive energy into your home.
On the first day of your stay in your new home, drink local water. This will mean that you have accepted the terms of the new location.
Make tea in the new kitchen. You will taste this hot and fragrant drink not as a guest, but as a host in your home.
First of all, in a new apartment, open all the windows. Fresh air should fill the room. Then turn on the water. Let it flow in the bathroom and in the kitchen. At least a couple of minutes. The air that has poured into the house as a fresh stream, and the water flowing in a strong stream, will “cleanse” your new home of bad energy, of all the negativity that has accumulated in the apartment during the time the previous owners lived in it.
Finally leaving the old home, remember only the joyful moments spent in it.
There is an interesting ritual that needs to be done when leaving the old apartment. Take a piece of paper and a pen. Write words that mean everything that you want to be surrounded by in your new home: harmony, happiness, prosperity, health. Take this list, compiled within the walls of the old house, with you. Everything you put on the list, go with you.
There is a tradition to leave coins in the old apartment. They say it brings wealth to both those who leave and those who move in. (It is also considered a good omen to take a broom from the old apartment with you. If you used to have a brownie, call him with you.
Or you need to make friends with a new brownie. The best way to do this is to arrange a feast for the whole world, and simply put, a fun party with close friends and delicious treats.
Guests were supposed to come with bread and salt - symbols of wealth and prosperity.
If you yourself are going to a housewarming party, take at least a small bun with you. Such a gift brings happiness to newcomers.
It is recommended to celebrate housewarming twice - the first time for the closest people on the first weekend after the move. The second time already for numerous guests, when you stop feeling like guests in a new house.
Housewarming without fun is not supposed to meet. There is a sign: you need to let the cat into your house first. Well, for God to help, christen your threshold. The miracle worker - the icon - is the main place at home. Everything is fine? And now we are waiting for guests with bread and salt.
Today, when belief in signs has firmly entered our lives, when many of us determine a favorable date, auspicious day / days for moving according to the lunar calendar or guided by the rules of Feng Shui, it is worth approaching the study of this issue thoroughly, once and for all, as they say, arrange all dots over "i". Who knows, maybe a favorable day according to the lunar calendar will allow your move to pass without a hitch, if you completely believe in omens. But even without the help of professionals, I must say, you can not do it. So if you have to move to a new apartment or a new house, we will help to foresee everything to the smallest detail.

FAVORABLE AND UNFAVORABLE DAYS FOR MOVING
Moving is an important matter, so you need to start it on favorable dates on the calendar. If you decide to change your place of residence, plan this event in advance. Do not move in the summer, (if possible, postpone the move until the fall). Please note that it is better not to move on dates that are not in the list, as this is not the most successful period for this event.
The influence of the moon on the life of the planet has long been established by scientists. Being in the orbit of the Earth, it controls all the ebb and flow of water bodies, and there is also a certain dependence of plant growth on its movement around our planet.
Paying attention to all these facts, it should be taken into account that the life of people also falls under the influence of the satellite. Even in ancient times, there were beliefs that described the lunar influence on events in a person's life.
Even throwing away all prejudices, you can catch a certain connection yourself. The phases of the moon affect both the physiological well-being of a person and the emotional state, not to mention the mystical side. Therefore, when planning important events, this factor should be taken into account.
Astrologers have long deduced a certain pattern of power of influence, due to which there are a large number of lunar calendars that affect all areas of human life. In these tables, certain days are marked in which it has either a positive or negative effect on significant events.
The influence of stars on the determination of the general character traits of a person at birth has long been known, but also one should not forget about the further impact they have. Combined with the mysticism of the Moon, one should pay tribute to their strength. It all depends on the movement of the satellite and its location in the constellations of the signs of the Zodiac.
When planning such an event as a move, which in itself affects the future fate, it is necessary to take into account the factor of cosmic influence. To do this, you do not need to take it upon yourself to calculate the lunar phases and its passage in a certain house of the zodiac, because there are already ready-made tables.
Moving is usually not planned in one day, and this event is associated only with positive emotions. To maintain the mood, and in order to avoid the negative influence of extraneous factors, you should check the day of this event with the lunar calendar designed for such an occasion.
Astrologers have specifically studied the influence of the lunar phases on this event so that you can attract a positive charge that gives the mystical influence of the moon. The dates indicated in the table will affect the luck of the move.
CHANGING HOUSING ACCORDING TO THE HOROSCOPE
Aries love change, so a change of residence always ends well for them. In the year of the Rooster, astrologers recommend moving purposeful representatives of this sign. For Taurus, 2017 is not the most successful period for home changes, so it’s better to focus on arranging the old “nest”.
Crayfish can only move when they were unlucky in the old place. It is better for the lions to direct the move towards the northwest. New housing for Virgos will bring improved health, move south. Libra needs to move in the direction of the east for changes in personal life.
Lack of financial well-being is a reason to pack things for Scorpio, moving abroad this year is especially lucky. Capricorns are associated with stability, so you shouldn't move. Pisces, Aquarius can change housing if they want to get really meaningful life changes.
BEST DAYS TO MOVE: SATURDAY OR?..
And let's figure it out together and study together what folk wisdom dictates to us in this regard, which days of the week are more suitable for organizing the move, and which are less and why.
- Monday. Just want to add - "a hard day." Among the people, this day is considered not particularly favorable for planning new business and settling in a new place. Popular wisdom advises to wait. But the wait will not be long.
- Tuesday. It has long been called the day of travel and new discoveries. People believe that on this day you will be lucky.
- Wednesday. Unfavorable for moving to a new house or a new apartment. People say that, having moved on a Wednesday, you won’t stay long in a new place, and on occasion you won’t get guests.
- Thursday. Promises a fair wind. The day is neutral in all respects. To move is to move.
- Friday. Almost a sister of Monday. On this day of the week, it is better not to start new business and not to go on the road. Postpone new beginnings, for example, until the next day.
- Saturday. That's just the sister of Tuesday. The day when the matter is argued, the work is going well, and all undertakings are accompanied by success. Are we moving?
- Sunday. A day that should definitely be devoted to rest. You rest. And we will take care of all the hard work.
MOVING ACCORDING TO ALL THE RULES OF FENGSHUI
If you have not found the answer to the question of when it is better to move, neither in the lunar calendar, nor in folk wisdom, it remains only to turn to Eastern philosophy and, thus, make luck work for you. According to feng shui, choosing a house, you choose your destiny. By changing your place of residence, you can confidently try to change your destiny. Why not?
- The rules of feng shui moving teach us to choose a day (this can be done using the feng shui calendar, which is now on sale). Always and in any case, the date of birth of the owner of the house will be favorable for moving.
- Feng Shui rules for moving also warn us to move into a new apartment in the evening and at night. It would be nice if your apartment move was completed in 1 day. We can easily arrange it.
- You cannot enter a new home empty-handed. It is believed that each member of the family should bring something with them. It is better to bring in the most valuable things first, as this contributes to prosperity and family well-being.
Moving to a new apartment is always an exciting event, associated with both joy and trouble, with excitement and anticipation of a new life.
Of course, when moving to a new home, you need to take into account many important nuances, such as solving household, housing and utility issues. But, in addition, there is a mystical aspect, no less important - and the signs associated with moving to a new home will help make a new life happy, comfortable and carefree.
These signs and traditions date back many centuries, and have passed to us in modern times without changes. They are used, so it makes sense.
What do you need to know when moving?
When moving to a new house, do not be too lazy to perform and observe a few very simple rituals and signs, and your life in a new place will be bright and joyful, and troubles will bypass your home and family.
1. First of all, you need to leave the old apartment in the right way. There are signs associated with saying goodbye to the old housing in which you have lived for a long time.
Check that nothing is left under beds, behind cabinets, inside chests of drawers, if you leave furniture. Ventilate the apartment and thank her for comfort and protection. Mentally wish the new tenants a happy life - and then leave.
2. There are other signs associated with farewell - for example, farewell cake. It must be cooked and eaten whole in the old place, without taking it with you.
If life in the house was difficult, the cake should be salty. If, on the contrary, you had a good life, bake a sweet cake. Share with your family, and let this ritual farewell dinner and good omen become an important transition to a new life.
4. The first thing to do in a new apartment is to solemnly let in a cat, cat or kitten. If you don’t have cats, let the dog in - she is also a guard.
In general, it is very desirable to have a pet in your home. Families that don't have pets aren't usually as happy. At least a hamster or a fish is already good.
5. Entering your new home, light a church candle and slowly go around all the rooms and corners, reading "Our Father". So you clear the space and sanctify it.
6. Incense cleanses the house very well from negative energies. Light incense sticks in every room - even in the toilet, let them smoke. Their smoke attracts positive energy and drives away stagnant, bad energy.
This, of course, is very contrary to the rules of economy, but at least for a few minutes, do it. Such a ritual will cleanse the house, bring new energy into it, drive away evil forces.
8. Everyone knows the sign that when moving, it would be useful to hang a horseshoe over the threshold - a protective amulet that attracts good luck to the apartment. It is necessary to hang, of course, with the ends up, and securely - so that it does not fall if the front door slams shut. The horseshoe should be periodically wiped of dust.
9. After you have launched a cat or a dog into your new apartment, do not rush to enter - throw a few coins through the threshold into the room. Then in the new dwelling you will always have prosperity, and poverty will bypass the house.
10. It is important that the move occurs at the right time. Definitely in the morning, and the earlier, the better and more successful it is. Wake up on the day of your move at dawn to check in early.
12. It's great if the move takes place in the snow or rain! This is a magnificent sign, a blessing from higher powers and a symbol that life will be happy in a new place.
13. After check-in, check your belongings. In a new dwelling, there should in no case be cracked or broken dishes, torn bed linen, curtains or towels.
It is better, of course, to update everything, or at least partially. Throw away the cracked dishes - it will bring misfortune.
14. Be sure to buy something new for the house. A set of pots, a lamp, a rug - if only it was a new thing. She will bring good luck.
15. Check doors and windows. If the windows are old, they need to be replaced - especially if they creak. Squeaky doors should be, if not changed, then lubricated, if necessary, painted.
Be sure to put new locks on your front door. This is not only a sign, but also prudence.
Only the closest and most beloved people, preferably relatives, should be present at the holiday in your new home. The more children there are in the house, the better - their voices and laughter will charge your new home with happy and bright energy.
17. The second housewarming should be held after all things are in place, on the second weekend. Now you can invite acquaintances, colleagues, friends.
18. Be sure to cook more food for housewarming - the richer and more generous the table, the richer and more satisfying your life in the future. For housewarming, according to signs, it is customary to give things for the home, but money cannot be given - warn guests about this.
Moving is a joyful event, it is always a transition to a new milestone in life, and a person himself changes a little and is updated with a change of home. Take this event seriously, do everything slowly and wisely, do not miss important details.
And let simple ritual actions help you live harmoniously, happily and richly in a new place!
