Moving home can be a very daunting experience, because you we need to go through the planning process to choosing where to live and then later comes the actual moving day! This is why a professional astrologer can help choose the best days to do certain things as having the planets in beneficial aspects can help the experience immensely. Moving house is known to be one of the most stressful events in our lives, so we need all the help we can get to increase the chances that everything runs smoothly.

Planning to Move Home

It can take years to plan to move home or some may do it in only a few months or even weeks. However it can be really important that documents are signed during favourable times astrologically and making that first contact to buy or rent a property often has an impact too.

Signing Documents

Once a home has been chosen, we can arrange to sign the contract exchange papers. It is really helpful if we can leverage this date and time to our advantage as much as possible.

Mercury

Mercury is the planet of exchange of communications and agreements, which especially applies to signing documents, so it is important that Mercury is strong at the time of signing. Mercury is best in Virgo or Gemini, the signs it rules and it is even better when placed in the third or the first house if possible, as it naturally rules the third and is in its joy in the first.

The Eighth House

It can be an enormous help if there is a benefic planet in the eighth house, because this is the house of shared finance, especially with banks and mortgage lending. This is why Venus or Jupiter here may help smooth the whole process out in our favour, while lessening the chance of any unwanted delays or hiccups.

Saturn

Saturn is a planet who can bring many delays if he is under strain or is not aspected well, therefore it is best if he is in only trine aspects with other planets while placed in houses that are either succedent or cadent, unless he is in the house he naturally rules, which is the tenth.

Moving Day!

Mars

It is now moving day and this will take a lot of physical work, energy and stamina! This is why we need to think about the position of Mars as we don’t want to be feeling lethargic or low in energy. Mars is in domicile in Aries and exalted in Capricorn, so he will be great in either of these signs.

Virgo

We can expect lots of organisation will be needed, as there will be boxes lying around and some sense of order will need to take place. This is why anything in Virgo is favourable (apart from Jupiter or Venus as these are in detriment and fall here), because Virgo is detail oriented and likes to be on schedule and sort though lists.

Houses of Joy

On moving day, it is best to try to have malefics in houses of joy if possible, which means Saturn works best in the twelfth house while Mars works best in the sixth. This can help prevent unwanted occurrences and mishaps.

Transits to Avoid, both Signing and Moving

Mercury Retrograde

The Mercury retrograde is well-known to be a time when delays can happen and things simply don’t go according to plan, especially with communications and documents, so it is always best to avoid these time periods whenever possible.

Mercury square Neptune

When Mercury squares Neptune, we may find things in general are more confusing or we may be lower in mental energy. For this reason miscommunications can happen and things may not run as smoothly. It probably isn’t a great idea to move under this transit.

Mars square Saturn

The Mars square Saturn transit can cause delays and difficulties, while extra responsibilities may seem to appear out of nowhere that we can’t really avoid or would rather not be doing. This transit is best avoided as things may feel much harder than need be and there may be little time for adjustments where necessary.

Mars square Uranus

Mars square Uranus is an unfavourable transit because unexpected events are more likely to happen, including accidents, falls and breaks to items that are being moved. Other things such as large electrical appliances may not work as they should or fixtures and fitting within the home. This transit is best to avoid completely.

Mars opposite Pluto

Mars opposite Pluto is a transit when people may generally feel a little more agitated or irritable than usual and this can have an effect on the smooth running of everything on a larger scale. It simply may increase the chances that plans may be disrupted on the day, so I would also avoid this transit.
