Building a house is one of the important "turning points" in a person's life. Therefore, the ancients advised that one should calculate the right time to build a house to bring luck and peace to the family. If you are wondering whether to start construction this year or not, please refer to how to calculate age to build a house shared through this article by Interior Highlights.

Whose age should you look at when building a house?

According to Vietnamese folk beliefs, when building a house, people often look at the age of the man in the family. The reason is that the man is considered the pillar of the family, the one responsible for taking care of his wife and children, and the whole family. Building a house is a major event, affecting the life of the whole family, so the man needs to have a suitable age according to feng shui to ensure the family is peaceful and happy.

However, in some special cases, people can consider the age of the woman in the family to build a house. For example:

  • In the family there is no man, or the man is not capable enough to build a house.
  • Women are people with power and high status in society.
  • Women are people with experience and knowledge of feng shui.

In addition, people can also look at the age of the eldest son in the family to build a house. This is a common case in traditional families, families with many generations living together.

How to calculate age to build a house according to nine houses

In home feng shui, the house represents the strong energy from the outside entering the house and circulating through the main door. The nine houses, or 9 houses, directly affect the life and luck of the family. The nine houses fortune table is used to determine the age of the house and adjust the energy in the house.

There are two ways to calculate the age of building a house according to the nine-house rule:

  • Start counting from box number 1, then go to boxes number 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The boxes marked with * (Phuc, Duc, Bao, Loc) will be good boxes for building a house.
  • Set box number 1 to 10 years old, box number 2 to 20 years old, box number 3 to 30 years old, and so on up to box number 9 to 90 years old. Consider the good boxes (Phuc, Duc, Bao, Loc) and when the age falls into these boxes, the homeowner can proceed to build a house.

Both of the above calculations are intended to ensure that house construction is done during times with favorable energy and brings good luck to the family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Building a house is calculated by yin or yang age?

When looking at the age of building a house, we often use the lunar age to calculate the direction of the house. The formula for calculating the lunar age is as follows: Lunar age = year of building the house - year of birth + 1.

For example, if the year of house construction is 2023 and the year of birth is 1995, the lunar age will be 2023 – 1995 + 1 = 29 years old

Does building a house depend on your age?

The answer is yes. According to Vietnamese beliefs, when building a house, people often calculate the age of the man in the family. The age of the man is calculated by taking the year of birth + 1.

See the age of building a house according to Cuu Trach or Kim Lau?

Do people over 60 need to consider their age when building a house?

Can I build a house based on my son's age?

The answer is yes. If the family does not have a man, or the man is not capable enough to build the house, then the eldest son in the family can be used to build the house. This is completely in accordance with feng shui and does not affect the family's life.

However, when using the son's age to build a house, the homeowner needs to note the following:

  • The son must be of legal age (over 20 years old).
  • The son must be healthy and free from serious illnesses.
