Landform fengshui: Robertson Opus in District 9 (D9)
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.
Nestled along the Singapore River and a stone’s throw from Fort Canning Hill, The Robertson Opus is near the head of the Central Dragon, aka the Affluence Dragon. Living near the Dragon head can be beneficial for career breakthroughs or visionary pursuits, as fresh qi tends to be concentrated around the area.
However, energy can be intense. Hence, such areas are best suited for those with resilient or ambitious personalities.
Fengshui Formation: The Robertson Opus in D9
The Robertson Opus is positioned between two fengshui formations, namely “Carp Jumping Over Dragon Gate” and “Mountain-Climbing Tiger”.
With the Singapore River bearing the landform of a fertile female carp and great life force, one can reap good fortune and abundance with diligence, just like the pioneers of Singapore. The fengshui formation of “Carp Jumping Over Dragon Gate” depicts the significance of hard work and perseverance. This is one of the reasons for the flourishing trade and constant growth of Singapore.
Meanwhile, the fengshui formation of Fort Canning is that of the “Mountain-Climbing Tiger”. Like all big cats do, the powerful mountain tiger prefers to indulge in food and sleep, explaining the minimal significant developments here. Nevertheless, developments such as the establishment of the Ministry of Marriages, former National Theatre, has roused the Tiger, explaining the lull and buzz of Fort Canning at different periods.
This historical landmark is slated to flourish more, as the Tiger awakens once again from its nap. Residents should also note that this area beholds promising career prospects, especially for those who take on leadership roles.
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.
Nestled along the serene riverside of Robertson Quay, The Robertson Opus is a mere 5-minute walk to the underground MRT station of Fort Canning. Here, residents can enjoy a tranquil sanctuary in the heart of the city centre minus the hustle and bustle. Seems like a double-win!
In fengshui, it is believed that the alignment of mountains plays a pivotal role in harnessing auspicious energy. Having a large hill or mountain located behind buildings denotes a supportive land formation known as the Black Tortoise, which historically provided Chinese emperors protection from invading armies, and a sense of embrace and security. With Fort Canning Hill Park located in the vicinity, The Robertson Opus will benefit from this land formation.
Standing at 9- to 10-storey in height, The Robertson Opus may not be the tallest in the vicinity but its riverfront position promises some of its residents unblocked views. Unblocked views are favoured in fengshui, as it represents the Red Phoenix, symbolising aspirations and a bright future. Such smooth flow of energy in the absence of points of conflict (sha) is essential. This is why people favour higher floor units or seafront living, as such options present a higher chance of getting unblocked views.
People often think that a household is considered auspicious and blessed with prosperity and abundance if you can see flowing water from your living room. While that is true, the river flow direction is an important factor not to overlook!
Hence, for units that overlook Singapore River, homeowners are advised to determine the river flow direction to ascertain if having a view of the flowing water is indeed beneficial to your household. If in doubt, it is best to seek advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Be it for residential or investment, choosing a choice fengshui unit can be daunting, especially for first-time homeowners. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home. So, don’t hesitate to reach out for a fengshui consultation!
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.

The Robertson Opus comprises 348 residential units across five blocks ranging between 9 to 10 storeys in height. There is a choice of 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom premium.
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. It is recommended to choose a unit that faces one of these directions to tap on the positive energies.
We have categorised the units at The Robertson Opus under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
While all stacks at The Robertson Opus lie on the boundary between two directions (indicated with the warning sign), there is potential for these units to face a favourable direction of the current fengshui period. The only way to find out would be to consult a professional fengshui practitioner, who can also determine an ideal unit that corresponds with your Bazi.
If your main door faces the balcony directly, strategic furniture placement can aid in curbing challenges to accumulate auspicious energies. Otherwise, household members may find that money comes and goes easily if measures are not made to better contain the positive energies.

Did you know?
A headboard represents stability and support in your life, especially your romantic relationships. Hence, a solid and smooth headboard (without perforations) made of natural materials is recommended.
It is also best to leave these electronic devices out of your bedroom or hide them as best you can. If you already want to have a television in your room, you may want to consider placing it in an armoire or cover it neatly with a cloth when not in use.
For optimal fengshui benefits, it is best to align your bed position with your Bazi needs and ensure you have a clear vantage of the doorway (while not being in direct alignment). If in doubt, consider consulting a fengshui practitioner for a fengshui review.
Which fengshui units to choose in The Robertson Opus?
A waterfront home in the city centre sounds like the ideal dream home. Similar to River Green and Promenade Peak (new launches nearby), The Robertson Opus offers aspiring homeowners a chance to fulfil this dream.
From the lens of fengshui, this luxury development holds great potential but there are factors that should be considered. As mentioned earlier, staying near the Dragon head requires individuals with resilient or ambitious personalities.
Also, all stacks at The Robertson Opus lie on the boundary between two directions, which calls for a detailed on-site analysis to determine the actual direction, as well as house compatibility with the homeowner’s Bazi suitability.
