Let’s take an in-depth fengshui review on Harmony Village @ Bukit Batok to see how it fares in terms of residential fengshui. Read on!
Harmony Village @ Bukit Batok: Landform Fengshui

Bounded by Bukit Batok West Avenue 6 and Avenue 9, Harmony Village @ Bukit Batok sits on the Western Dragon and belongs to the fengshui formation of “Strong Dragon Rearing its Head”. This fengshui land formation was created as a result of the dragon’s flight being obstructed by Bukit Panjang Hill and Bukit Timah Hill.
This indicates that this land is suitable for public housing or government offices but not so for industrial estates. People with strong characters may consider residing in Bukit Batok, as you shall be able to prosper along with the ‘strong dragon’. In fact, this is a suitable residential area for young and healthy people who are seeking success.
On the other hand, those who are mentally weak might feel oppressed under the influence of the strong-willed and ambitious dragon. Dark colours and metallic furniture should be avoided in the house, while red and bright colours are recommended.
The scenic landscape in Bukit Batok makes it favourable for those in the arts and literary field, while the dragon’s strong ambitions and outstanding capabilities imply great success.
External 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 above a hawker centre and next to the Le Quest mall, residents of Harmony Village @ Bukit Batok shall enjoy great convenience and easily accessible amenities. However, one can expect high human traffic and activities, which implies sound pollution. For those who prefer great privacy and peace, you may want to consider installing sound insulation, especially if you are located on a lower floor.
While the senior-friendly CCA is a standalone housing block situated alongside the single-storey Le Quest mall, there may be conflicting forces from neighbouring housing developments. Some units may encounter the Sharp Edge Sha (尖角煞). This typically occurs when the door or window of your unit faces the corner of a nearby building. Such negative energies can result in increased anxiety and inability to concentrate. If in doubt, it is best to consult a professional fengshui practitioner.
Homeowners should also stay mindful as there are sites surrounding Harmony Village @ Bukit Batok that are currently being developed. High-rise buildings in proximity present a potential risk of conflicts such as Tian Zhan Sha (home’s frontage facing an opening between two or more building structures that funnel negative energies). If you encounter such a scenario, you may display a pair of guardian lions or Six Emperor Coins emblem to ward off the negative energies.
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.
