Li Chun Starts on 4 February 2022
Known as “the Beginning of Spring”, Li Chun 立春 2022 falls on 4 February this year.
During Li Chun 立春 every year, each Chinese Zodiac is assigned a few auspicious timings throughout the day.
In Singapore, some of us believed that by depositing money into your bank account during these auspicious timings that are assigned to your Chinese Zodiac, you will get to enjoy good fortune and stable income for the rest of the year.
Every year, we have a culture of queueing at the ATMs to deposit money on Li Chun, all for the luck.
With the COVID-19 pandemic probably still lurking around this Chinese New Year, we recommend that you practise social distancing while queueing at the ATM.
The Best Time to Deposit Money This Li Chun 立春 2022 According to Your Chinese Zodiac
Here’s the best time to deposit money this year!
The most auspicious hours to deposit money will be on 4 February 2022, from 3pm to 5pm. This is for all the zodiacs, except Tiger, Horse, Goat and Dog.
Hence, if you need the notes deposit machine for other needs other than for luck, do avoid this timing.
Breaking Down the 2022 Li Chun Timings
For strong believers of Li Chun, who do not have that fitness or will to be queueing for hours just to deposit money, we got your back!
Upon researching the auspicious hours for all the Zodiacs, we managed to recognise some of the peak hours where we believe most people will want to be depositing their money. We have also taken into account that more babies are born in the year of Dragon. Other Zodiac might wish to avoid timings that coincide with the “Best” auspicious time slots of those born in the year of Dragon.
| Time | "Huat" timing for which Zodiac? | Total number of Zodiacs in this timing |
|---|---|---|
| 5am to 7am (4 February 2021) | Tiger, Goat, Dog, Pig | 4 |
| 7am to 9am (4 February 2021) | Rat, Tiger, Monkey, Rooster | 4 |
| 9am to 11am (4 February 2021) | Ox, Monkey, Rooster | 3 |
| 1pm to 3pm (4 February 2021) | Rabbit, Horse, Pig | 3 |
| 3pm to 5pm (4 February 2021) | Rat, Ox, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Monkey, Rooster, Pig | 8 (Most 'Huat' hours) |
| 5pm to 7pm (4 February 2021) | Ox, Dragon, Snake | 3 |
| 11pm to 1am (5 February 2021) | Ox, Dragon, Snake | 3 (Including Dragon) |
| 1am to 3am (5 February 2021) | Rat, Snake, Rooster | 3 |
We noticed that the Li Chun peak hour or busiest time slot will be on 4 February 2021 from 9am to 11am.
Of course, we do not recommend queueing at the ATM due to the pandemic, hence, we stated a few possible solutions below where you can deposit money at the comfort of your home.

Hacks to Avoid the Queue This Li Chun
Given the advancement in technology, there are definitely ways we can hack around the process and make us queue lesser.
Improving the Current LI Chun Process With E-Wallets
Our current procedure involves:
- Queuing at the ATM
- Taking money out of our physical wallet
- Depositing money into the bank accounts
This process, however, results in long queues at the cash deposit machines and time wastage while queuing:
With the advancement in technology, and without compromising on the actual mechanism on how money travels:
- Transfer some money into your E-wallet, eg. PayLah
- Transfer money from E-wallet back to your bank account or savings account
- All in the comfort of your home.
