Chinese New Year is a time of joy, celebration, and tradition, with ang pow giving as a cherished custom that strengthens family bonds and symbolizes the sharing of prosperity. If you're receiving ang pow this year, there's a special way to boost your luck: depositing it during auspicious hours.
According to Feng Shui beliefs, every moment carries its own unique energy, and certain times of the day are believed to be especially powerful for attracting wealth. Renowned Feng Shui expert Grand Master Hillary Phang of Yuan Zhong Siu has shared insights into the financial outlook for all 12 Chinese Zodiac signs in 2025, along with the best times to deposit money. Follow these timings, and you might just see your fortune grow—perhaps even to CRAZY RICH levels! Keep reading to discover the most auspicious hours to make deposits, setting the stage for a prosperous year filled with growth and opportunities.
Li Chun (立春), the first day of spring in the Chinese solar calendar, symbolizes renewal, prosperity, and the start of a new cycle—making it an auspicious time to attract good fortune. Li Chun officially begins at 10:27 PM on 3 February, but the most auspicious time for making deposits falls on 4 February. Different zodiac signs benefit from specific time slots throughout the day, with the period between 1:00 PM and 2:59 PM being especially favorable for most. Aligning your wealth-building efforts with these lucky hours can enhance prosperity, and wearing colours that match your zodiac sign can further amplify positive energy.
However, not all timings are ideal—certain periods are considered inauspicious for deposits, so it's best to avoid them. Additionally, withdrawing money during this time is believed to symbolize financial loss, potentially affecting your prosperity for the year. By choosing the right timing and colours, these mindful actions can help set the stage for a year of growth, wealth, and opportunity.
