It’s that time of the year again where long queues appear at ATM machines at banks in Singapore.
Li Chun (立春) traditionally marks the beginning of Spring in the lunar calendar where farmers pray for a year of good harvest. In modern society where hardly anyone owns farms, banking in money into banks has taken over as a replacement to signify a bumper harvest.
This year, Li Chun falls on 4 February 2019 (Monday), coincidentally a day before CNY and according to Fengshui masters, here are the most auspicious huat timings for the 12 Chinese zodiacs.

There are clearly superstitious aspects when it comes to banking in money during Li Chun but despite that, at the very least, everyone gets to leave the bank with a shiok feeling.
