No, house shifting or Griha Pravesh on Amavasya (New Moon day) is generally avoided in Hindu tradition. Amavasya is linked to unstable energy, emptiness, and darkness.
Why Amavasya is Avoided to Shift a House?
According to astrology and Vastu, this day is not conducive to good beginnings. It is considered that performing Griha Pravesh on Amavasya will draw negative vibes rather than wealth and serenity.
Uncertainty is symbolised by Amavasya's lack of moonlight. When moving into a new home, Hindu traditions favour days of development, clarity, and optimism. Traditionally, Amavasya is not used for festivities but rather for ancestral rites.
Move your home, during Shukla Paksha, the bright lunar phase that lasts from the day after Amavasya to Purnima. These days are considered to improve contentment, security, and prosperity in a new residence.
Avoid Ashtami, Chaturdashi, Tuesdays, and the Chaturmas season (usually from June to October), when Griha Pravesh is prohibited, in addition to Amavasya.
Always check the Panchang for the right Tithi, Nakshatra, Rahu Kalam, and Abhijit Muhurat. A priest or astrologer can suggest a suitable date based on your horoscope.
For peace, prosperity, and positive energy, avoid shifting on Amavasya and choose an auspicious muhurat instead.
