CNY 2022: Luckiest days (and times) to start work and deposit money

As the first Chinese festival on the solar calendar, Li Chun aka ‘The Beginning of Spring’ is an important time as it signifies fresh starts and rejuvenation. This year, Li Chun falls on 4 to 19 February, which is good to know as depositing money into your bank account at the start of Li Chun is believed to invite a steady flow of income throughout the year.

Moreover, each Chinese zodiac sign has its own lucky times during Li Chun that are the best for banking in some cash. Additionally, there are favoured dates for each zodiac sign to cease and start work. Definitely worth taking note of if you’re looking to start off the new year with good feng shui.

Curious to know what these dates and times are so you can optimise your 2022? Check out the list below and remember to mark your calendars!

According to Chinese beliefs, certain dates are inauspicious for particular zodiac signs to start work and could hamper one’s business or career prospects in the new year. If the following dates conflict with your zodiac animal, you may want to consider taking leave for your peace of mind (though preferably leave ‘good feng shui‘ out of your reasons to HR):

Ceasing work:

  • 28 January conflicts with the Pig
  • 31 January conflicts with the Tiger

Starting Work:

  • 4 February conflicts with the Horse
  • 7 February conflicts with the Rooster
