Landform fengshui: Tampines GreenEmerald in District 18
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.
Tampines GreenEmerald stands proudly near the head of the Eastern Dragon, a fengshui position revered for its powerful and commanding energy. The Dragon’s Head symbolises leadership, authority, and bold beginnings, making it especially suited for those with strong bazi who are ready to seize opportunities and rise to prominence. In this prestigious location, the Qi is vibrant and forceful, empowering residents to take decisive action, achieve ambitious goals, and establish a lasting legacy. With its commanding presence along the Eastern Dragon’s Head, Tampines GreenEmerald offers an inspiring setting for those destined to lead, influence, and thrive.
Fengshui Formation of Tampines GreenEmerald
Bounded by Bedok Reservoir Road and Tampines Street 96, Tampines GreenEmerald is situated in Singapore’s district 18, falling in the vicinity of the Eastern Dragon.
From a fengshui perspective, Tampines is a land of “Talented Scholar and Ravishing Beauty”, an ideal residential area for those in the creative industry. As there is 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. As those who possess talent and beauty may develop an “arrogant exterior”, Grand Master Tan Khoon Yong of Way Fengshui Group shared that more efforts must be made to maintain harmonious relationships. Otherwise, a breakthrough will be difficult to achieve without putting in effort.
In addition, residents should take caution against illnesses. The seasonal northeast monsoon will cause temperature to fluctuate and people with poor constitutions are susceptible to catching a cold. As such, warm colours (i.e. red or cream) are recommended in interior design and decorations while cool colours (i.e. blue, green, etc) should be avoided. Growing more plants can help to dispense the cold too.
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.
Inspired by the area’s history as a former sand quarry, Tampines GreenEmerald is designed to resemble quarries, with panoramic roof gardens and rock-climbing play features. The layout prioritises open spaces and greenery to promote good airflow, which is positive in terms of fengshui.
Is living near a river good fengshui?
Here comes the million dollar question, although technically speaking, some residents of Tampines GreenEmerald will be facing a canal rather than a river.
Well, it is commonly believed that having a water view from home brings good fortune, but several factors must be considered, such as whether the water is flowing and the direction of its flow. Residents of Tampines GreenEmerald with units facing Bedok Canal may wish to take this into account. For greater clarity, consider consulting a professional fengshui practitioner.
To the East of Tampines GreenEmerald is a site designated for a health and medical centre. This is increasingly common in new estates. Like hospitals, these facilities are considered “yin” in nature, and their presence may evoke discomfort for some individuals, potentially contributing to physical and mental fatigue over time. However, residents can take comfort in the fact that no units in the development face the site for the medical centre directly.
While there are only five blocks within Tampines GreenEmerald, which look well-spaced, the layout of the buildings calls for caution against corner Sha (角煞) where sharp corners present hidden threats, and Constriction Sha, which occurs when air currents between two buildings converge to charge at one being sandwiched in between.
As residents open their windows for ventilation, they might introduce inauspicious energies to their home. Affected parties may become listless and pessimistic. Should your main door be directly in the line of Constriction Sha, consider installing a partition or displaying plants at the entrance to deflect its flow.
Lower floor units (7 storeys and below) that are facing the MSCP directly should be mindful of light and noise pollution, particularly stack 400 and 402. Excessive Light Sha and Sound Sha can increase stress and blood pressure levels. Worse still, it can even lead to insomnia.
Last but not least, homeowners should take note of surrounding sites that are undergoing construction, as there could be conflict points, as well as pollution and negative energies (Sha Qi) during the development period. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
Internal fengshui considerations
Homeowners should bear in mind the main orientation of your house, as it 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.
Tip: Did you know a physical Luopan (fengshui compass) is much more sensitive to the Qi, energy of the house than an digital compass? You can use our Free Way Almanac App to know your rough direction of your house. It is still advisable to get a professional fengshui Master to fix your home direction.

Tampines GreenEmerald comprises five residential blocks with 750 units of 2-room Flexi, 4-, and 5-room flats. The blocks range from 10 to 17 storeys in height
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the current Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063), followed by Northwest and Southeast. We have categorised the units under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
Several units at Tampines GreenEmerald face the 1st and 2nd most auspicious directions in the current fengshui period. With appropriate fengshui measures, you can optimise your household luck to thrive further!
However, take note that units located near the lift are likely to encounter unstable magnetic fields at home, which could lead to household disharmony and health issues. Thankfully, there are fengshui remedies for such situations.
As for units with main doors that face each other, be mindful of conflicting energies. If your main door faces your neighbour’s main door directly, you should consult a professional fengshui practitioner to minimise the negative impacts.
Did you know?
Period 9 corresponds with the South, representing a strong Fire element. As such, one should be mindful of locating important spaces within your premises. For example, it is best to make adjustments if your stove (also of fire element) is facing South, otherwise too much fire energy can cause instability and burnout for members in the household.
In fengshui, the stove represents “the female owner of the house”. As such, the state of the stove in your house represents the condition of your mother or wife. So, if your stove happens to face South, you are highly recommended to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
