Hi Pisces here that has moved 10xs in the last 6/7 yrs.
I am an expert at this.
Step one is pack up all the non essentials a good 1-2weeks before your move date. This also gives you the opportunity to sort through things and create a goodwill pile.
Always overlap your rentals by at least 1 week, I've always done 2-3 weekends at least. When you get the keys for the new place bring cleaning supplies and do a deep clean right then and there.
You won't need all that many boxes, just what fills up your vehicle as I am a big believer in unpacking right away. So each round of moving you unpack and then take the boxes back for the next round.
First weekend = small stuff/boxed unessential's. Also bring a blow up mattress so you can crash at both places if needed.
2nd weekend = furniture move... bring the friends with trucks to help you move all the big stuff you can't handle alone. Since new place is already clean you can setup everything right away.
3rd weekend = deep clean on the old place and walk thru with landlord and get his signature before you go. Deposit is gonna be secured no matter what!
This method has served me well because during the week I am too slammed with work to take time off and move. Also fairly fragile when it comes to my living space and need a peaceful clean environment to be productive. So having some extra time keeps the pressure off and allows for an easier transition.
That is so Cap style .click to expand

Libra- Turns moving into a social event. Ends up getting others to do the heavy lifting.
Sagittarius- Chaos. Starts packing the kitchen, but the phone rang and they talked for thirty minutes. Decided to move to the bedroom closet, but rationalized they need their clothes for the next week. Doesn't want to throw anything away. Ends up throwing random things in boxes day of, which pisses off the people there to help.

Pisces- Finds her high school yearbook. Ends up crying because she is not as young or pretty as she was. Ends up crying because she is overwhelmed by moving. Ends up crying because she is going to miss this place. Her Virgo husband ends up doing all the work.click to expand

Seen it happen. I was the one that had to do all the work for the Sagittarius, who couldn't stay on task.Posted by newtothis

😂😂As a Libra who has moved several times in his life I can tell ya that is wrong. I did my moving with the help of one other person. Plus I worked as a furniture delivery guy before. We built different in the South💪🤘

This. I literally took all my boxes up to the 3rd floor on my own, car load by car load. I would unpack that night and then load up my car with my labeled boxes and unpack them that night. It took me a couple of days but I did it, I only asked for help for the really big furniture and I was the one who helped lift them. I don’t know if it’s a southern thing or an I’m a Libra and don’t like to bother other people thing. But it was not a social event and I did the heavy lifting. 🤷🏻♀️😂click to expand
