Landform fengshui: Berlayar Rise
In Singapore, the Five Dragon Landform Fengshui harnesses “hidden dragons”, which are man-made structures that channel energy flows. From the lens of fengshui, roads act as “dragon veins”, skyscrapers as “mountain dragons” offering stability and waterways serve as wealth-attracting “water dragons”.
The five auspicious dragons, namely Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern and Central, along with the Singapore and Kallang Rivers, converge to drive the city’s growth and prosperity, with each dragon influencing a region’s success.
Bounded by Berlayar Street and Berlayar Drive, Berlayar Rise sits next to Telok Blangah MRT Station in the precinct of Bukit Merah and Telok Blangah. This prime BTO project sits near the head of the Western Dragon, where fresh qi tends to be concentrated.
While this spells potential for career breakthroughs or visionary pursuits, energy can be intense near a Dragon’s head. Hence, such areas are best suited for those with resilient or ambitious personalities.
Landform fengshui: Berlayar Rise
Based on landform formation, Berlayar Rise is part of the “Land of Buffaloes” formation, housing two buffaloes that have fled from Tiong Bahru due to the nearby formation “Combination of Four Animals”. One is located at Telok Blangah Hill Park and the other at Bukit Merah Central.
Buffaloes are known for their diligence, and this quality is reflected in the residents staying in these areas. Under pressure, they would perform better and display strong determination.
Amidst persistent inflation and geopolitical uncertainties, life can seem like a struggle, but let’s keep the spirit of the buffaloes in mind! While striving hard, always keep your health in mind. Here are some easy fengshui tips, especially for female homeowners, to improve health luck.
Exterior 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 new home.
Located near Berlayar Residences, Berlayar Rise sits within the much-coveted Berlayar estate with ample green spaces, promising idyllic and conducive spaces near nature without compromising on accessibility.
Named and designed to commemorate the area’s maritime legacy, this prime housing project right next to Telok Blangah MRT Station is part of the Greater Southern Waterfront, a major gateway for urban living spanning 30km of Singapore’s southern coastline from Pasir Panjang to Marina East.
Its proximity to Berlayer Creek and the southern coastline means that some of the higher-floor units (particularly those along Berlayar Drive) may get a seaview from their living room or bedroom.
In landscape fengshui, unblocked views are favoured as it represents the Red Phoenix, symbolising aspirations and a bright future. Such a smooth flow of energy in the absence of points of conflict (Sha) is essential. Nevertheless, one should note that views and skylines could be altered over time, especially in developing estates such as the Berlayar estate.
According to the site plan, there are sites reserved for future high-rise residential development across the road from Berlayar Rise. Hence, potential homeowners should choose your unit wisely. Also, while a higher-floor unit reduces the likelihood of encountering negative forces, there could be challenges to accumulating auspicious energies.
It is also believed that a household is considered auspicious and blessed with prosperity and abundance if you can see flowing water from your living room, especially if there is a large door or window that allows an inflow of energy from the river across your home.
However, it is crucial to determine the flow direction to determine if having a sea view is indeed beneficial to one’s household. If in doubt, it is best to seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Last but not least, certain stacks at Block 200B and 201A face Telok Blangah Road / West Coast Highway. Being nearer to the main road, these units will enjoy easier accessibility, but traffic noise can be expected. For those preferring privacy and peace, you may want to consider the inner stacks instead.
Internal fengshui considerations
When it comes to choosing an ideal unit, keep in mind that a house’s main orientation will directly influence the overall luck of its residents. The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can typically be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

Berlayar Rise comprises six residential blocks with a total of 1,976 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-room and 4-room flats that range from 33 to 49 storeys in height.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the Period 9 and 1 (years 2024 – 2063), and Northwest and Southeast are the second most auspicious directions. You are recommended to choose a unit that faces either of these directions or lies at the border of these directions to tap into the positive energies.
We have categorised these Prime flats at Berlayar Rise under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
All units at Berlayar Rise face the most auspicious directions of the current fengshui period. With appropriate fengshui measures, you can optimise your household luck to thrive further.
On the other hand, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if the two main entrances face each other directly. Several units at this prime BTO project have this issue, which calls for fengshui remedies.
Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home.
Did you know?
Money is not everything, but without it, you can hardly do anything. For those who are focused on building your wealth, you may want to be more mindful of your wealth position, as well as the shoe shelf, in your home.
The wealth position refers to a place where wealth accumulates. Hence, the space surrounding your wealth position must be kept clean and tidy. There should not be clutter, electrical appliances or sharp objects around or at your wealth position.
There is heavy Sha (煞气), aka negative energies, where the shoe shelf is located. Hence, your wealth luck will be affected if your shoe shelf directly faces your wealth position. Some people unknowingly positioned their shoe shelf at their wealth position. When this happens, their wealth is likely to disperse, and one may find that it is difficult to accumulate wealth. Should this happen, it is best to shift the shoe shelf or avoid placing shoes within the rack.
For the uninitiated, the fengshui Period 9 is influenced by a wealth star, indicating growing fortune and propitiousness. However, the Fire element influencing this current period can be unstable. If you are planning to conduct a home renovation to tap into the beneficial energies of Period 9, do get in touch for a fengshui consultation.
