**Li Chun** in 2025 is on February
3rd at 22:10, even though the first day of the lunar new year falls on January
29th, 2025. This means that the Year of the Snake starts only after the first
day of the Lunar New Year (Chu 1). Children born after Li Chun on February 3rd
2025, at 22:10, are only considered to be born under the Snake zodiac.
If you are planning to move into a
new house, it is essential to choose auspicious dates and times according to
the birth charts (bazi) of family members and the house's orientation. Three
key dates to select are the **Earth Breaking Date**, **House Shifting Date**,
and **Start of Operation Date**. Selecting these auspicious dates is a complex
process that requires careful study of various factors. Once the dates are
selected, a simple ceremony can be performed. This ceremony shows respect to
Heaven, Humanity, Earth (天人地), and the environment.
### Earth Breaking Ceremony:
1. Prepare four sets of fruits (such
as apples, mandarins, bananas, and pears), sweets, and three cups of Chinese
tea. Ensure that the number of fruits is odd, as odd numbers are associated
with Yang energy, and even numbers with Yin, according to the I-Ching.
2. Place the fruits, sweets, and tea
at four locations in your house: Northwest, Southeast, Northeast, and
Southwest.
3. For those who use incense (joss
stick), pray and place the incense on the fruits until it burns out. If you do
not use incense, simply pray at the locations and state your wishes.
4. Begin praying in the Northwest,
followed by the Southeast, Northeast, and finally the Southwest.
5. Break a small piece of the wall at any spot except the below mentioned spots.
after February 3rd, 2025 Li Chun, avoid breaking walls in the following areas:
- **Northeast**: The 5 Yellow
Position (五黃位)
- **East**: The Three Killings
Position (三煞位)
- **Southeast**: The Grand Duke
Position (太岁位)
- **Northwest**: The Year Breaker
Position (岁破位)
The phrase **"不可在太岁头上动土"** means you should not disturb these sectors before
attending to other areas, as a sign of respect. After breaking the correct
piece of the wall, you may continue renovations elsewhere.
**Important**: After the ceremony,
the construction should begin immediately and should not exceed two days from
the ceremony date. During the ceremony, it is vital to maintain a calm and
peaceful atmosphere—no arguments should occur. Pray with sincerity and a pure
heart, and feel free to consume the fruits afterward.
### House Shifting Ceremony:
The process for this ceremony is
similar to the Earth Breaking ceremony with some additional steps:
1. Prepare four sets of fruits
(apples, mandarins, bananas, pears), sweets, and three cups of Chinese tea,
ensuring an odd number of fruits.
2. Place the items in the four
corners of your house: Northwest, Southeast, Northeast, and Southwest.
3. Pray in the same order as in the
Earth Breaking ceremony.
4. If you have an altar, move it a
few days before the shifting date, covering the idol's eyes with red paper. On
the auspicious shifting day, remove the paper and begin the prayers.
5. After the prayer, place essential
cooking items like rice, oil, salt, vinegar, and tea leaves in the kitchen.
Boil water or cook something to symbolize the start of living in the home.
6. Before the ceremony, activate the
house's energy by turning on all lights and fans. Of course, you can hang a red
cloth at the main entrance but do not hang it more than 15 days.
7. A housewarming party with laughter
and children will enhance the energy of the space.
8. Again, maintain a peaceful and
calm atmosphere during the ceremony.
### Start of Operation Ceremony:
This follows the same steps as the
Earth Breaking and House Shifting ceremonies, but with the intention of
activating the energy for business or work. Before the prayer:
- Turn on all lights and fans to
activate the energy.
- Hosting a party in the shop or
office can further enhance the positive energy, especially with laughter and
children present.
For all ceremonies, it is important
to conduct them with a sincere heart and maintain a calm, peaceful environment.

2025年**立春** 是在2月3日22:10，尽管农历新年的第一天是2025年1月29日。这意味着蛇年只有在农历新年初一之后才开始。2025年2月3日22:10后出生的孩子才算是蛇年出生的。
如果您计划搬入新房子，必须根据家庭成员的生辰八字和房屋朝向选择吉日吉时。需要选择的三个关键日期是 **动土日**、**搬迁日** 和 **开始运作日**。选择这些吉日是一个复杂的过程，需要仔细研究各方面的因素。选定日期后，可以举行一个简单的仪式。这一仪式表明对天、地、人（天人地）及环境的尊重。
### 动土仪式：
1. 准备四份水果（如苹果、橘子、香蕉和梨），糖果和三杯中国茶。确保水果的数量为奇数，因为根据《易经》，奇数与阳气相连，偶数与阴气相连。
2. 将水果、糖果和茶分别放在房子的四个位置：西北、东南、东北和西南。
3. 对于使用香的人，可以祈祷并将香插在水果上，直到燃尽。如果不使用香，只需在这些位置祈祷并许愿。
4. 按照顺序祈祷：西北开始，然后是东南、东北，最后是西南。
5. 在任何地方可以敲掉一小块墙，但以下提到的地点除外：
2025年2月3日立春之后，请避免在以下地点敲：
- **东北**：五黄位
- **东**：三煞位
- **东南**：太岁位
- **西北**：岁破位
短语 **"不可在太岁头上动土"** 意思是不要在处理其他区域之前打扰这些位置，以示尊重。敲掉正确位置的一小块墙壁后，您可以继续进行其他地方的装修。
**重要提示**：仪式完成后，施工应立即开始，并且不得超过仪式日期后的两天。在仪式期间，务必保持平和宁静的氛围，避免争吵。请以诚心和纯洁的心祈祷，仪式结束后，您可以食用水果。
### 搬迁仪式：
该仪式与动土仪式类似，附加了一些步骤：
1. 准备四份水果（苹果、橘子、香蕉、梨）、糖果和三杯中国茶，确保水果的数量为奇数。
2. 将物品放置在房子的四个角落：西北、东南、东北和西南。
3. 按照动土仪式的顺序祈祷。
4. 如果有供奉的神像，可以在搬迁日之前几天先将神像搬进来，并用红纸盖住神像的眼睛。在吉时移除红纸并开始祈祷。
5. 祈祷后，将米、油、盐、醋、茶叶等必要的烹饪材料放入厨房。烧一壶水或煮点东西，象征着您已开始居住在家里。
6. 在仪式前，开启所有的灯和风扇来激活房子的气场。当然，您可以在主入口挂上红布，但不要挂超过15天。
7. 搞一个温馨的乔迁派对，欢声笑语和孩子们的祝福有助于增强房子的能量。
8. 同样，保持仪式期间的平静和和谐。
### 开始运作仪式：
这一仪式与动土和搬迁仪式的步骤相同，但目的是激活商业或工作的能量。在祈祷之前：
- 打开所有的灯和风扇来激活气场。
- 在店铺或办公室举行一个庆祝派对，人们的笑声和孩子们的祝福将进一步增强正能量。
对于所有的仪式，重要的是以诚心进行，并保持宁静、祥和的环境。
