Published: 2 August 2024
Looking for a resale public housing flat that has reached its 5-year minimum occupation period (MOP)? For those who are looking for a MOP resale flat in eastern Singapore, the award-winning Tampines GreenRidges could be an option for you.
As the first housing development in Tampines North, Tampines GreenRidges reflects the design of the residential blocks that come in varying heights to evoke mountain ridges. Mountains in fengshui symbolises strong support, so does that mean residents will enjoy stable progress amidst the tranquil environment?
Read on for our detailed fengshui review of Tampines GreenRidges.
Tampines GreenRidges: Landform Fengshui
Located along Tampines Avenue 9, Tampines GreenRidges resides on the Eastern Dragon within a fengshui land formation known as the “Talented Scholar and Ravishing Beauty”. This is an ideal residential area for those in the creative industry. As there is a high potential of cultivating talent here, young families will benefit greatly from the auspicious energies of this formation.
Tampines is also situated near the head of the Eastern Dragon, a majestic creature capable of helping inhabitants within its land to soar to greater heights. Nevertheless, those staying here are reminded to stay humble and down-to-earth. Greater effort must be made to maintain harmonious relationships, for without that, a breakthrough will be difficult to achieve.
External fengshui considerations
As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a resale flat.
One of the important requirements in fengshui is the garnering of “qi” (energy). At Tampines GreenRidges, the blocks are staggered to weave almost organic lines, sandwiching lines of greenery to maximise views of the landscape for residents. This also allows the flats of varying heights to attract and garner qi effectively.
A central green spine lies at the heart of Tampines GreenRidges, widely shaded by trees. Residents can enjoy the lush green backdrop filled with amenities such as gardens, playgrounds and fitness areas. However, potential resale unit buyers are reminded to refrain from selecting a unit that is close to trees and plants.
Plants may be a symbol of vitality and growth, but it can also introduce unwanted pests into our homes if they are too close to entrances. Besides that, trees can also deflect incoming auspicious energies.
In terms of convenience, residents of Tampines GreenRidges will enjoy accessibility to many amenities in this relatively new town, such as a supermarket, polyclinic, and two schools just across the estate. While this means convenience for residents, the vibrant surroundings implies greater human traffic and noises. For those who are more sensitive to noise, you may want to consider sound insulation solutions.
Take note that Block 606A and 606B are situated directly across the road from Tampines Care Home En Volunteer and Tampines North Polyclinic. As hospitals and healthcare centres are Yin in nature, some people may feel uneasy staying in close proximity.
For some, the unease may result in physical and mental fatigue in the long run. Nevertheless, we believe most homeowners would have considered this before choosing a unit. It also helps if your unit is on a higher floor, but do keep in mind that polyclinics – unlike hospitals – don’t operate around the clock.
Watch out for sharp edges pointed towards your potential home, as these are conflict points that are not ideal for homeowners. High-rise buildings in proximity present a potential risk of conflicts such as Tian Zhan Sha (home’s frontage facing an opening between two or more building structures that funnel negative energies), corner Sha (角煞) where sharp corners present hidden threats, etc. Displaying a pair of guardian lions or Six Emperor Coins emblem can ward off the negative energies.
As Tampines North is in the midst of transforming into a new Tampines Town Hub, residents should be mindful of the potential fengshui impacts of future high rise developments. This may affect the harmony and health of household members, and proper measures should be taken into consideration.

Did you know that the main orientation of your house will directly influence the overall luck of your household member(s)? The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

Tampines GreenRidges comprises 14 residential blocks of 1,496 units of 3-, 4-, 5-room and 3Gen Standard Flats. These blocks range from 14 to 16 storeys in height. Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in these upcoming periods, followed by Northwest and Southeast. We have identified the Period 9 Auspicious Homes below. Do you live in any of these units?
All units face North/South, which is ideal in terms of home fengshui in Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063). To further enhance one’s luck cycle during these periods, Master Goh recommends homeowners to display emblems with the Water element, such as a water feature to “cool” your home. Take note to avoid Fire-related designs.
Also, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, do display a round light in between the two doors, or hang a Super 5 Shield at the top of your door frame. From a home fengshui viewpoint, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main entrances face each other directly.

Did you know?
Events and happenings within a space create energy vibrations that can either be positive or negative. These are not limited to indoor spaces, but could also be infused into the estate that you plan to live in. Hence, it makes sense to understand the history of your to-be neighbourhood, especially recent happenings that could leave traces of remnant energies.
Prior to selecting a resale flat, take a walk in the estate and take note of the features of surrounding buildings that may harbour threats of negative influences or hinder ventilation within your home. The main idea is to garner and ensure the smooth flow of positive Qi (energy) within your new home while avoiding Sha Qi (negative energies).
Sha Qi in the environment surrounding your home can manifest into loss of wealth, accidents, and sickness. If there are sharp edges pointed towards your potential home, then it is best to consider another unit or seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Also, established residential estates contain stronger ground energies than newer ones. Mixing old and new house developments together will allow newer estates to “absorb” the land’s energies at a faster rate.
In the case of Tampines GreenRidges, stacks along Tampines Avenue 9 are opposite an established residential estate. Therefore, there is great potential for the new residential development to flourish together with its neighbours.
