When to move — by your birth chart
Personal windows for two years — when home and residence are active in your chart — and a calendar of favourable days for the move itself over the next four months.

How astrology times a move
The calculation works on two levels. First, personal periods: when the 4th house (home, family, roots) and the IC–MC axis are active in your chart. Then the days themselves: the Moon's sign, the lunar day, the void-of-course Moon, Mercury retrograde and aspects to your natal planets.
Jupiter and Saturn in the 4th house
Vronsky's «Classical Astrology» (vol. 12) calls Jupiter's passage through the 4th house the most favourable time in twelve years to acquire a house or flat. Saturn in the 4th, by contrast, binds a person with duties to home and family: a move then is possible but takes effort and careful planning.
The Moon and lunar days
Per Vronsky (vol. 10), days with the Moon in Taurus, Aquarius or Pisces are good for moving, while with the Moon in Cancer, Leo, Scorpio or Capricorn a move is better postponed. Lunar days 3, 5, 12, 13 and 29 are especially unfavourable. The lunar day counts from moonrise after the new moon — so the city where you live matters.
Personal aspects of the day
When the Moon is in harmony with your natal Jupiter, Vronsky calls the time favourable for moving to a new home (vol. 10). It also helps when Mercury is in harmony with your Jupiter or Saturn, and Venus with Jupiter (vol. 11). A tense Moon to your Uranus is a day of bustle and surprises.
Where, not only when
Timing is half the decision. To see which places suit you better, open astrocartography — planet lines on the world map — and for a particular city, build a relocation chart.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find the best time to move by my birth chart?
Enter your birth date, time and city, and the city where you live now. The calculator finds personal periods two years ahead — when Jupiter or Saturn moves through your 4th house and when the slow planets touch the IC–MC axis or your Moon — and shows a four-month calendar of favourable moving days with the reasons for each. It is free and needs no sign-up.
Which days are best for moving by the Moon?
Per Vronsky, the Moon in Taurus, Aquarius or Pisces is good; with the Moon in Cancer, Leo, Scorpio or Capricorn a move is better postponed. Lunar days 3, 5, 12, 13 and 29 are unfavourable, as are the hours of the void-of-course Moon, when what is started often does not bring the expected result.
Can I move during Mercury retrograde?
Yes — in our calendar it is a caution, not a ban: take extra care with documents, contracts, keys and logistics, and double-check dates and addresses. The retrograde periods are in the astrological calendar.
What if my birth time is not exact?
The day calendar hardly depends on it: the Moon's sign, lunar days and the void-of-course Moon are computed for the city where you live now. The personal windows hang on the IC and the 4th house, which shift about one degree every four minutes — with an uncertain time, treat them as a guide.
Why are so many days marked unfavourable?
The classical rules are strict: four Moon signs out of twelve count as poor for moving, plus five lunar days and the void-of-course Moon. A pink day is not a verdict but a reason to prefer a green one when you are free to choose. If the date cannot move, put the care into preparation and details.
Where should I move according to my birth chart?
To choose a place, use astrocartography: it shows planet lines on the world map and the cities where love, career or home themes sound stronger. For a particular city, build a relocation chart to see which houses your planets fall into there.
