i think it is best to move it in the winter when it is dormant, so if you have to move it this year, dont wait do it now, mine is already sprouting

If its a big enough split it in 2 or more ASAP with a spade and plant it up. If there are buds on it try and split it between them. You may not get such a crop this year but wait until next year!! Feed it well with loads of manure and antything else you can think of. It will reward you well assuming you like rhubarb!

Rhubarb is such a tough plant that almost nothing slows it down  :D I've even moved some mid-summer and it roared back into growth.
