Why should we consider the age of building a new house in 2024?

Many Vietnamese people attach great importance to the practice of choosing an auspicious age when undertaking significant tasks. Building a house is one of the major events in one’s life, as “a stable home is the foundation for a successful life.” Having a place to call home provides a solid platform for individuals to build their careers, stabilize their lives, and plan for the future.

According to the belief that “choosing the age of the bride for marriage and the age of the man for building a house,” the age for selecting an auspicious year to build a house is often based on the age of the key male figure in the family. However, nowadays, this belief has undergone many changes, and in general, the age of the homeowner is considered.

Considerations for choosing an auspicious age for building a house in 2024

When choosing an auspicious age for building a house in 2024, homeowners should consider whether their age falls under the Taboo Three (Tam tai, Hoang ọc, and Kim Lâu). If all three factors are present, it is not advisable to start construction this year. If only Hoang ọc and Kim Lâu are present, it is also not recommended to proceed.

In the case of Taboo Three (Tam tai), homeowners can still proceed with building a house but it is recommended to borrow an auspicious age to ensure a smooth construction process and avoid any unlucky occurrences.

Building a house in the correct direction and in the auspicious year of the homeowner is believed to facilitate a smooth construction process. It is said that residing in such a house brings peace, smooth work, good health, and happy family life.

In addition to age considerations, selecting auspicious dates for ground-breaking, roofing, or moving into the new house is also vital for a smooth process.

Borrowing an auspicious age for building a house in 2024

If the homeowner’s age is not suitable for building a house in 2024, they can borrow an auspicious age. It is recommended to borrow the age of a male relative who is older than the homeowner for the best results. Additionally, it is advisable to borrow the age of someone in the Three or Double compatibility zodiac combinations.

Those who lend their age should have a friendly, cheerful personality, a harmonious family, and not be in a period of mourning. The person lending their age should be older than the homeowner and hold a higher status. The older the person lending their age, the more lively and durable the house will be.

It is best to borrow the age of a family member for convenience in communication, worship, and performing necessary rituals during the construction process.

A special note is that the person lending their age for building a house should not lend their age to another person while the first person has not completed their own house construction.

When borrowing an auspicious age for building a house, the homeowner and the person lending their age should have symbolic purchase and sale documents. The person lending their age will take responsibility for offering ceremonial offerings to the homeowner throughout the construction period.

Auspicious dates and months for building a house in 2024

Month 1: Avoid commencing construction at the end of the lunar year when people are busy preparing for the Lunar New Year. Therefore, demolishing a house during this period is not recommended either.

Month 2: The period after the Lunar New Year is often considered a good time to start building a house. Although some influences may affect the construction process, it will bring balance in feng shui and bring luck and prosperity to the homeowner.

Month 3: This time marks the beginning of life with fresh air and blooming plants.

Month 4: The weather during this month is often characterized by gentle rain and harmony, making it suitable and favorable for construction.

Month 5, 6, 7: Although the weather during these months can be hot, construction often progresses quickly and encounters fewer obstacles.

Month 8: The weather in August is often rainy and unstable, making it unsuitable for construction. This month also coincides with the Ghost Month in the lunar calendar, so commencing construction during this time is ill-advised.

Month 9, 10: During these months, the weather is stable and favorable for the construction process.

Month 11: November weather is often cold and dry, which may affect the construction process. However, if the project is already stable, continuing construction in November will not pose significant difficulties.

Month 12: December is a busy month as people prepare for the year-end holidays. Commencing construction during this time is not encouraged. If you still prefer to build in December, you should choose the early days of the month to ensure that your holiday plans are not significantly affected.
