Landform fengshui: Springleaf Residence in District 26 (D26)
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.
Located at Upper Thomson Road, Springleaf Residence sits near the body of the Southern Dragon, indicating stable qi flow that is ideal for long-term residence or business. For the uninitiated, the Southern Dragon is also known as the Wealth Dragon, with many prime residential estates in its region!
Fengshui Formation: Springleaf Residence in D26
Springleaf Residence is part of the fengshui formation of “Unique Five Talents” that comprises the butterfly, bee, dragonfly, cricket and golden locust (or grasshopper).
Specifically, Springleaf Residence falls under the “Queen Bee Formation”. Bees are known for their hardworking nature, and residents here are suited for the teaching profession. Nearby, Lentor Avenue houses the “Twin Butterflies Formation”. As butterflies are fun-loving, that implies residents here are more inclined towards material comfort.
Seletar Airport has the “Golden Locust Formation”, which is favourable to wealth in the fengshui context. The “Cricket Teasing Dragonfly” formation at Seletar Hill also supports the attainment of wealth and success from scratch. Hence, residents who stay in this district can absorb the positive influence of the “Unique Five Talents” and enjoy success, as long as they proceed with caution.
The housing expansions in Punggol and Sengkang are beneficial to the “Unique Five Talents” formation, which promises greater prosperity.
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.
Being the first high-rise in a landed enclave surrounded by forests and parks, Springleaf Residence marks a first-of-its-kind home in the northern region of Singapore that offers idyllic living amidst nature without compromising on connectivity. This mixed-use estate sits within a 2-minute walk to Springleaf MRT station.
In addition to its proximity to the Central Catchment Nature Reserve and Seletar Reservoir, 70% of land is dedicated to landscaping and shared facilities in Springleaf Residence. The lush greenery and water bodies indicate strong growth energy (Sheng Qi) that is beneficial to its residents.
However, if you plan to get a lower floor unit, stay mindful that your unit is not too close to trees and plants. While plants may be a symbol of vitality and growth, it can introduce unwanted pests into our homes if they are too close to entrances. Besides that, trees can also deflect incoming auspicious energies.
Springleaf Residence sits on a terrain that is relatively undulating, which indicates good energy flow. It helps that the residential towers are spaced comfortably from each other and tilted to maximise green views. In fact, those looking at level 5 and above are likely to enjoy unblocked views.
In landscape fengshui, unblocked views represent the Red Phoenix, symbolising aspirations and a bright future. It also reduces the likelihood of encountering negative forces. Choose your ideal unit at Springleaf Residence wisely though, as there could be challenges to accumulating auspicious energies for higher floor units, especially if the main door faces the balcony directly. If in doubt, consider consulting a fengshui practitioner for a fengshui unit review.
Last but not least, some stacks at Block 813 and 815 overlooking the Seletar Expressway (SLE) may be subjected to constant vehicle movements that bring Sound Sha [声煞]. This is because the bedroom units and balconies face the expressway directly. As this could cause disturbances to daily life such as insomnia, quality soundproofing is essential.
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, if you have doubts, 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.

Springleaf Residence comprises 941 exclusive units across six blocks, ranging from 4- to 25-storey. There is a mix of one-bedroom to five-bedroom unit types.
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 Springleaf Residence under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
Most stacks at Springleaf Residence face favourable directions in the current fengshui period. However, a number of stacks lie on the boundary between two directions (indicated with the warning sign). In particular, those facing the less favourable directions, such as Northeast/East or Southwest/West, call for caution.
Also, there could be challenges to accumulating auspicious energies if your main door faces the balcony directly. In such a scenario, household members may find that money comes and goes easily if measures are not made to better contain the positive energies.

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.
Within Springleaf Residence sits the conserved building of the former Upper Thomson Secondary School. This historic building on a small hill was founded in 1965, and once a proud institution. It underwent a major transformation into a centralised institute, before it shut down in 1997. With the launch of Springleaf Residence, this conserved building will be repurposed into residential units and shared amenities.
Wondering if there are any fengshui implications to staying in a former school site? You may want to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
Meanwhile, do take a walk in the estate prior to selecting your ideal unit. Take note of features of the 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.
