Moving to new apartment- this is always an exciting event, associated with both joy and troubles, with excitement and anticipation of a new life.
Of course, when moving to new house there's a lot to consider important nuances, such as solving household, housing and communal issues. But, in addition, there is a mystical aspect that is no less important - and the signs associated with moving to a new home will help you make new life happy, comfortable and carefree.
These signs and traditions go back many centuries, and have passed down to us in modern times without changes. They are used, so it makes sense.
What do you need to know when moving?
When moving to a new home, do not be lazy to perform and observe a few very simple rituals and signs, and your life in the new place will be bright and joyful, and troubles will bypass your home and family.
1. First of all, you need to leave your old apartment in the right way. There are signs associated with saying goodbye to an old home in which you have lived for a long time.
Check that nothing is lying under beds, behind cabinets, or inside dressers if you are leaving furniture. Ventilate the apartment and thank it for its comfort and protection. Mentally wish the new residents a happy life - and then leave.
2. There are also signs associated with farewell - for example, a farewell cake. It must be prepared and eaten entirely in the old place, without taking it with you.
If life in the house was difficult, the pie should be salty. If, on the contrary, you had a good life, bake a sweet pie. Share with your household, and let this ritual farewell dinner and good omen become an important transition into a new life.
4. The first thing you need to do is to ceremonially let the cat, cat or kitten into your new apartment. If you don't have cats, let your dog in - she's also a guard.
In general, it is very advisable to have a pet in your home. Families who don't have animals are usually not as happy. Even a hamster or a fish is already good.
5. When you enter your new home, light a church candle and slowly walk around all the rooms and corners, reading the “Our Father.” This way you will cleanse the space and sanctify it.
6. Incense cleanses the house very well from negative energies. Light incense sticks in every room - even in the toilet, let them smoke. Their smoke attracts positive energy and drives away stagnant, bad energy.
This, of course, is very contrary to the rules of saving, but at least for a few minutes, do it. Such a ritual will cleanse the house, bring new energy into it, and drive away evil forces.
8. Everyone knows the sign that when moving, it would be a good idea to hang a horseshoe over the threshold - a protective amulet that attracts good luck to the apartment. Of course, it must be hung with the ends up, and securely - so that it does not fall if the front door slams. The horseshoe must be periodically wiped from dust.
9. After you have brought a cat or dog into your new apartment, do not rush to enter - throw a few coins over the threshold into the room. Then in your new home you will always have prosperity, and poverty will disappear from your home.
10. It is important that the move takes place in the right time. Definitely in the morning, and the earlier, the better and more successful it is. Wake up at the crack of dawn on moving day to ensure you can move in early.
12. It’s great if the move takes place in snow or rain! This is a great omen, a blessing from higher powers and a symbol that life will be happy in the new place.
13. After check-in, check your belongings. In no case should there be cracked or broken dishes, torn bed linen, curtains or towels in the new home.
It’s better, of course, to update everything, or at least partially. And throw away cracked dishes - they will bring misfortune.
14. Be sure to buy something new for your home. A set of pots, a lamp, a rug - as long as it is a new thing. She will bring good luck.
15. Check doors and windows. If the windows are old, they need to be replaced – especially if they squeak. Squeaky doors need to be, if not replaced, then lubricated, if necessary, painted.
Be sure to install new locks on your front door. This is not only a sign, but also prudence.
Only your closest and beloved people, preferably relatives, should be present at the holiday in your new home. The more children there are in the house, the better - their voices and laughter will charge your new home with happy and bright energy.
17. The second housewarming party should be held after all things are in their places, on the second weekend. Now you can invite your acquaintances, colleagues, friends.
18. Be sure to prepare more food for housewarming - the richer and more generous the table is, the richer and more satisfying your life in the future. At housewarmings, according to signs, it is customary to give things for the home, but you cannot give money - warn guests about this.
Moving is a joyful event; it is always a transition to a new milestone in life, and the person himself changes and is updated a little with a change of home. Take this event seriously, do everything slowly and wisely, do not miss important details.
And let simple ritual actions help you live harmoniously, happily and richly in a new place!

It is very rare to find out exactly what people lived in the apartment before you, what guests visited them, what events took place in the house. Sometimes one is enough to cleanse the energy of a room. spring cleaning, but sometimes you need to carry out special cleansing rituals. This is necessary in the following cases.

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE YOU MOVE
Say goodbye to your old home! After all, a lot of different events also happened in this house: joyful, sad, exciting, which will certainly remain in the memory. So, first of all, leave the apartment clean, remove trash, trash, bags, sweep and wash the floor.
Make a simple “Farewell pie” ritual, which means that in your old apartment you prepare any simple treat and eat it here with all the household members. This is a farewell to home and a kind of transition to a new life. Pieces and leftovers of the pie should not be taken to the new apartment!
When preparing to move to a new apartment, try to take everything into account and not forget anything. Counts bad omen, if you have to return to an old house for things. Check all the rooms, the bathroom, the balcony, the loggia one by one, look into all the closets and mezzanines.
Another simple ritual is performed after things are taken out during the move. Ventilate the apartment, walk around it and say goodbye to it mentally or out loud. It is very useful to thank her for her protection, comfort and all the good things that happened here.
And be sure to take it with you from old apartment broom! It is believed that along with it you take away the spirit of the house, the brownie, your protector. Moreover, before picking up the broom, quickly sweep the floors with it and put it in a separate bag.
WHAT DAY IS IT BETTER TO MOVE?
There are several magic rules:
- It is best to plan the move in the morning, and the earlier, the more successful the matter will be.
- A suitable day is Saturday, and according to Eastern beliefs, Wednesday.
- It is considered favorable if it rains or snows on this day. This is fortunate and an easy road.
- There is no need to wash your hair, sew or do laundry on this day!
- If you meet a beggar, a dog or a pregnant lady on the way to a new home, this is a sign of luck and good news.
Before moving to a new apartment, it is advisable to plan a housewarming day. This will help you quickly adapt on the spot.
IN YOUR NEW APARTMENT
First of all, let's let the cat in! If he is not there, but there is a dog, that will do too. Let your protector be the first to enter your new home. And then you throw a few coins over the threshold - for prosperity and monetary luck. After this procedure, you can bring in things, boxes and furniture.
After the movers leave and the move to another apartment can be considered completed, it is worth doing a small ritual-amulet. You will need a church candle and 10-15 minutes of free time. Light a candle and go around all the rooms, reading a prayer (preferably “Our Father”). Bless corners, closets, toilets and bathrooms, and every space in the house with a candle. This will clean it well and protect you.
Another simple way to “make friends with your home” is to light your favorite incense and walk through the rooms with it. After 10-15 minutes, the apartment should be slightly ventilated. Don't worry, the aroma of incense and its beneficial power will remain!
We recommend that you hang a horseshoe amulet in your new apartment. It is best to hang it with the ends up, above the front door. If there is no space there, then above the entrance to any of the rooms. And another tip: buy something new from kitchen utensils for home. This will also be considered a sign of good luck!
A HOUSEHOLDING PARTY IS A MUST!
Now you know what you need to move and settle in a new place. But that is not all! Be sure to organize a housewarming party, and on the first weekend after moving in. Several rituals are also associated with this home holiday:
- Invite only relatives and loved ones, as well as children different ages. Children's laughter and fussing around in a new home is a great start and a good sign for everyone.
- If it is important for you to invite your colleagues, then organize a second housewarming party for them, which can be held when things have already been laid out. In addition to colleagues, you can also invite friends and acquaintances.
- fruits, sweets. All this makes the table (and therefore the house!) abundant and generous.
A lot of food for housewarming - happiness and prosperity! You can even make a kind of buffet with a lot of sandwiches,
It is imperative to accept housewarming gifts, especially if they are household utensils, dishes, or interior items!
So that later you won’t be “excruciatingly painful” for your carelessness.
Take all things apart. Think about whether everything you've acquired is worth it backbreaking labor» take with you to a new happy life. Usually, ¼ of all belongings can be safely thrown away or donated to those more in need.
Pack the items remaining after the audit into boxes. Number each one and make a register - a list of contents on paper or in Excel: box number - list of things. Do not write anything on the container itself other than the number. It is very uncomfortable.
Start packing your things 3-4 days before the scheduled move. Pack them as tightly as possible. Clothes and shoes can be placed in suitcases and travel bags. Place everything else in boxes and pack it properly. Put the ones you'll need the least first, and the essentials last. These include - 2-3 pots, a frying pan, cutlery, towels, bed and underwear, toiletries.
Put the furniture and carpets in order - clean, vacuum, wash. Don't bring old dirt to a new place.
Prepare your new apartment for moving. Install locks (if required) on the front door, check the operation of plumbing, windows, ventilation, and electrical wiring. Think about how you will place furniture, boxes, where you will determine sleeping places for all family members. This is especially important if it is not possible to first put everything in complete order and only then move in.
When organizing a move to Moscow, a person has a question about what things to take with him and what to leave at home. Of course, going to the capital with ten suitcases or sending five trucks behind you is not practical. Firstly, it is quite expensive. Organizing even one container or carrying a suitcase at the airport will cost you a pretty penny. Secondly, the same things can be bought in Moscow for fairly reasonable money. Due to competition in the capital, thank God, there are no problems with this. Another question is if you live near Moscow and move with your own car. Here the scope of your imagination will depend on the capacity of your trunk and your desire to make several trips back and forth. So, what to take with you to Moscow? Let's consider in order the list of the most important things that will be useful to you in the capital.
1.Documentation. A mandatory attribute that you need to take with you when moving to another city. I include the following documents: Russian passport for adults and birth certificate for children, insurance policy, driver's license, foreign passport, TIN certificate, military ID, marriage certificate, employment history, education documents, medical card, etc. Make sure in advance that your documents do not expire, otherwise, in the absence of permanent registration in Moscow, you will have to do them for quite a long time, sending a request to your hometown (extend/reinstate, etc. ). Just in case, it doesn’t hurt to make several copies of all documents.
For those who do not have a foreign passport, I advise you not to be lazy and get one before moving to Moscow. The proximity of Europe, discounts on air tickets and good stable income will eventually lead you to quickly think about traveling abroad. How disappointing it will be to find out that it takes several months to obtain a foreign passport, and your vacation is postponed because of this.
2.Cloth. When we were preparing to move to Moscow, problems arose different ideas about what clothes to take with you. At first, of course, there were thoughts of transporting the entire wardrobe, but as our suitcases filled up quickly, common sense took its toll, and we abandoned it. In such a situation, I advise you to take things for the season in which you are moving and the next. For example, we decided that since we were moving in the summer, we needed to take clothes for summer and fall. Moreover, winter clothes had been worn for many years, and it was time to change them.
Please note that the climate in Moscow may differ from the climate in your region. For example, autumn here is quite long, and the real winter frosts last only 2-3 weeks. Although it doesn’t happen once at a time. It’s also not worth picking up a lot of things because in Moscow there are constantly sales of new collections, discounts, promotions, etc. And most likely, your wardrobe will be updated quite quickly.
When choosing the clothes that will “go” with you to Moscow, you should pay attention to new clothes, comfortable/favorite things, as well as those that you will need for interviews and going to work. For example, a banker or lawyer needs to take at least one classic suit with him. Don’t forget that people are “greeted by their clothes” (which is no exception in Moscow), so take care of this in advance.
3. Household appliances and electronics . The question of what equipment to take with you when moving is something everyone decides for themselves. However, I think everyone will agree that taking a computer or laptop to modern world is as common as picking up a toothbrush or your favorite suit. After all, you need to somehow look for a job or complete test tasks that the employer may give. Therefore, before leaving, check the functionality of your PC, reinstall programs that are “buggy”, and take several software disks with you, just in case. Be careful about how you transport your computer. If it's a laptop, there's no problem: you put it in a case and take it in your hand luggage. If this is a full-fledged computer with a system unit and a monitor, and you are flying on an airplane, you need to think about how to transport it: take it in hand luggage or check it in as checked luggage? In principle, people do both, the main thing is that it remains intact during transportation. In order not to drag all the components of your PC, you can transport only the system unit and buy the monitor in Moscow. I advise you to take such delights as a printer and scanner with you only if you are transporting things by car, and if you really need them.
For other equipment, we can advise you to take a camera (there are many beautiful places), as well as the equipment that you need in your work (for example, the same camera if you are a professional photographer; a graphics tablet if you are a designer, etc.). If you have an e-reader or tablet, they will help brighten up your time on the subway. So let's take it! If you can’t imagine your life without a mixer, then, please, the main thing is that there is enough space in your suitcase/car. Thus, look at your situation, just remember that in Moscow Appliances It's inexpensive and you can buy everything.
4. Kids' things . If you moving to Moscow with a small child, then, of course, you need to take care of his comfort. It is worth noting that it is better to plan such a move one by one: when the father, for example, goes first to the capital, rents a house, gets a job, buys the necessary things, and then the mother arrives with the child. I’ll say right away that it will be easier for those parents whose finances allow them to buy everything new in Moscow. Whoever has a pocket, as they say, “not rubber,” needs to think about the most important thing: how to transport the stroller and crib. If you are moving with your own car, your success will depend on the capacity of your car; if you transport it in a container, then it depends on the container’s capacity. Fortunately, the crib can be disassembled and the stroller folded compactly. When transporting things as luggage on a plane, train or bus, you will most likely need to abandon the crib because it takes up too much space (even when disassembled). And the stroller can be left in the luggage compartment.
Other things, such as films, vests, toys and prue can be taken in limited quantities for the first time, the rest can be bought in Moscow.
5. First aid kit . I believe that a first aid kit should be on any trip, especially on such an important one. Arriving in another city, you may not immediately know where to run if your blood pressure rises or your head suddenly hurts. When we arrived in Moscow, we stayed in a hostel in the city center, where there were only business centers and cafes around, and not a single pharmacy. Therefore, I always advise you to have emergency pills with you: for the head, stomach, allergies and others individually for each person.
6. Automobile . The age-old question, is it worth taking a car with you to Moscow or buying a new one in Moscow/not buying anything at all at first. Here again, everyone decides for themselves, but I advise you to evaluate all the pros and cons before making a decision. The first thing you should pay attention to is: how much do you need a car in Moscow? The capital has a metro that will take you to any or almost any corner of Moscow; the network of buses, trams and trolleybuses is also quite developed. Some motorists in the capital often abandon their cars at parking lots and take the metro, because it’s easier. You should also not forget about driving style on Moscow roads, fines for traffic violations (and in Moscow you can’t do without this) and problems with parking (parking spaces in the city center are increasingly becoming paid). How much do you need a car in such a situation? The advantages can be convenience and comfort: you don’t need to go shopping in Auchan by metro or taxi; no need to jostle with everyone on the subway.
The second question you need to ask yourself is: how feasible is it to drive the car to Moscow? If you are moving from nearby regions, then I think there is a point in this, especially since this way you can transport your things, saving on the container. Well, if you are moving from the eastern regions of Russia ( Far East, Kamchatka, etc.), then such a journey will cost you a pretty penny, and will significantly undermine your finances when moving. Then it will be easier to buy a car “on the spot” upon arrival or after some time.
7. Just your favorite things . Probably, each of us has things that we love and appreciate just because they exist. Some of them remind us of childhood, others remind us of important or happy moments in our lives. This could be a favorite toy, a framed photograph of a loved one, a favorite book, etc. Of course, in everyday life when moving, they may be of least use to us (besides, they will take up space in the suitcase), but I still advise each family member to take their favorite thing to Moscow. Moscow is a big city and there may be difficulties at the beginning of your journey. Such things will remind you of home and will also increase your self-confidence.
So, we considered the question: what things you need to take with you when moving to Moscow. Of course, there are no universal options, and everyone decides for themselves what to take with them to the capital. However, I hope this article helped guide you and reminded you of the main thing.
