Credits: Affinity at Serangoon
Published: 30 September 2023
Built upon a former HUDC estate at Serangoon North Ave 1, Affinity at Serangoon was launched in mid-2018 with 1,012 residential apartments and 40 strata landed houses. Congratulations to new homeowners who have collected your keys amidst the estate’s recent TOP (temporary occupation permit).
Conveniently located in Singapore’s highly sought-after District 19 (D19), this well-contained 99-year leasehold condominium offers 88 facilities! It has been noted that condos in D19 consistently appreciate in value. Could it be due to the convenience of being in a mature estate or does fengshui has a part in this?
Read on as we conduct an in-depth fengshui review on Affinity at Serangoon to assess its fengshui qualities and see what it has to offer beyond location and facilities.
Affinity at Serangoon: Landform fengshui
Located along Serangoon North Avenue 1, Affinity at Serangoon sits on the Eastern Dragon with the fengshui formation of “Lone Phoenix Heading for the Sun”.
Contrary to the Chinese name of Serangoon that translates as “dragon mound”, it is actually a Phoenix Land in the fengshui context. The red and slightly sticky soil of this area denotes powerful energies that make Serangoon an ideal place for residence. The Phoenix Land is capable of grooming talented females, and this is especially timely in the upcoming fengshui Period 9 that indicates rising power for middle-aged women.
Males can also benefit from the fengshui formation of “Lone Phoenix Heading for the Sun”, which influences one to be courageous and meticulous at the same time. Serangoon is relatively large, and it comprises five fengshui formation that are namely, “White Crane Spreading its Wings”, “Transporting Cart of Gold and Jade”, “Imperial Scholar Perusing a Scroll”, Golden Fowl Perched on Lotus” and “Chipped Ingot on Floor”.
Affinity at Serangoon is located at the “Chipped Ingot on Floor” formation, which is one of the few ingot lands in Singapore. Here, the ingot is relatively small but powerful. The only regret lies in it being chipped, thereby diminishing wealth luck. For greater prosperity, residents are advised to plan well and do more good deeds.
External fengshui considerations
As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space around your new home. The convenient location of Affinity at Serangoon in a mature estate means that residents can easily access the town’s amenities such as Chomp Chomp Food Centre, market, various parks and good schools – making it suitable for families with school-going children. Young couples can consider building your family here.
Within the 1km radius, there are primary schools such as Rosyth School and Zhonghua Primary School. Nearby secondary schools include Serangoon Garden Secondary School, Xinmin Secondary School, St Gabriel’s Secondary School and Zhonghua Secondary School while junior colleges such as Nanyang Junior College and Serangoon Junior College are also in the vicinity.
On the other hand, Affinity at Serangoon is surrounded by several HDB blocks, indicating two areas of concern. First, traffic may get congested during peak hours, resulting in potential Sound Sha. To reduce noise disturbances at home, homeowners may consider installing sound-proof windows or curtains and blinds.
Secondly, homeowners should 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, consider seeking advice from a professional fengshui practitioner.
Internal fengshui considerations
Homeowners should bear in mind the importance of 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.
Affinity at Serangoon offers 7 Blocks of 14-Storey, 2 Block of 3 Storey Strata Landed Houses with Basement and 1 Block of 2-Storey Strata-Landed Houses with Basement. In total, this recently TOP estate offers 1,012 residential apartments and 40 strata landed houses at a site that sits South and faces North. This is good news because … …
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the upcoming Period 9 and Period 1 (years 2024 – 2063), and Northwest and Southeast are the second most auspicious directions. We have identified some Period 9 Auspicious Homes, as listed in the following blocks. Do you live in any of these blocks?
While there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone, those residing in Block 26, or between 43 to 64 may want to consider a fengshui consultation as your unit lies between the borderline of two directions.
In addition, the site plan reveals several units to be facing each other directly. From a fengshui viewpoint, if your main door faces your neighbour’s main door directly, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony. As such, homeowners are recommended to place a grey arc-shaped carpet at your front door. Doing so can help you to neutralise negative energies and accumulate wealth.
Also, there may be challenges to accumulating auspicious energies, if your main door faces the balcony directly. In fact, many units at Affinity at Serangoon have this issue. In such situations, household members may find that money comes and goes easily if measures are not made to better contain the positive energies.
If in doubt, leave it to the professionals. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services with the ultimate aim of helping you to create a harmonious environment in your new home.
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. If your stove happens to face South, you are highly recommended to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
As for those who are planning to conduct home renovation or move in, don’t forget to choose an auspicious date before you proceed. The information is readily available at the Way Almanac App – free for all to download!
