Besides its proximity to Canberra MRT station and the upcoming North Coast Innovation Corridor, The Watergardens at Canberra promises lush greenery with family-friendly amenities.
Could it be your ideal fengshui home or a worthy investment? Let’s take an in-depth residential fengshui review to find out. Read on!
The Watergardens at Canberra: Landform Fengshui
Situated at Canberra Drive, the 99-year leasehold condo, Watergardens at Canberra, sits on the Southern Dragon amidst the fengshui land formation of “Thriving Bamboos”.
Bamboos, being an auspicious symbol in Chinese culture, indicate the potential for growth and progress. This formation promises positive influences for residents in this area. Potential homeowners or residents on this land can tap on the positive energies of the “Land of Thriving Bamboos”, as long as you remain down-to-earth, work hard and take all matters in stride.
Nevertheless, residents of Watergardens at Canberra, especially those with elderly and young children, should note that this region is susceptible to strong northeast winds, in particular during the year end monsoon season. As this may cause you or your loved ones to catch a cold easily, do take extra consideration when designing your living space.
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 in the tranquil neighbourhood of Canberra next to The Commodore, The Watergardens is just a 5-minute walk to the Canberra MRT station and in proximity to several malls and schools. Set along a minor road of private and public residences, noise disturbances will be kept to a minimum as compared to being on the main road facing the MRT station, which is a plus point.
That said, The Watergardens at Canberra sits on an odd-shape plot of land with 16 blocks built quite close to one another. With this high density within the development, residents should keep a lookout for conflicting forces from neighbouring blocks. With several blocks densely packed together, there is greater likelihood of encountering conflicting forces such as Sharp Edge Sha (尖角煞) and Wall Blade Sha (壁刀煞).
The former occurs when a residential unit faces the sharp edge of a neighbouring structure. Such negative energies can result in increased anxiety and inability to concentrate, which may affect career and academic development. The latter occurs when a residential unit faces the sharp edge of a neighbouring structure.
One must also be mindful of 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 will introduce these inauspicious energies to their home. Affected parties may become listless and pessimistic. Should your main door be directly in the line of Constriction Sha, you may consider installing a partition or displaying plants at the entrance to deflect its flow.
Surrounded by lush greenery, residents of this upcoming new luxury condo should also be mindful if your unit is 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. If in doubt, it is best 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.

The Watergardens at Canberra comprises a total of 448 units across 16 blocks of 5-storey residential flat development, ranging between 2- to 4-Bedroom apartments.
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.
More than half of the units at The Watergardens at Canberra face the most auspicious directions in the current fengshui period. The remaining units face Northeast/Southwest, which is the least favourable in Period 9. Homeowners/buyers of units with inauspicious orientation should stay mindful. Nevertheless, it is important to note that there is no fixed lucky direction that caters to everyone.
If your main door faces your neighbour’s main door, do display a round light in between the two doors, or hang a Super 5 Shield at the top of your door frame. From a home fengshui viewpoint, conflicting energies between both households may arise and affect harmony if two main entrances face each other directly.

Did you know?
Homeowners with a kitchen island may want to be mindful of the placement of your stove, as it is symbolic of the female homeowner’s health in terms of fengshui.
Building a stove on the kitchen island is not recommended, as it is exposed to qi (energy) from every angle. From a practical perspective, such exposure could also affect the food you cook, leading to health issues. The placement of the stove is best against a wall for stability.
Also, be mindful of the sink location in the kitchen. If it is directly across your kitchen stove, you may want to consider renovation or implement some changes such as installing an island in between (if space permits). This is because having a stove directly facing the sink depicts a clash of elements between fire (stove) and water (sink) that could affect the health of your household members.
Homeowners should be mindful that Period 9, which corresponds with the South, represents a strong Fire element. Therefore, locating important spaces within your premises is crucial. 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. If in doubt, always consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
Thrive in Period 9 with good home fengshui
As with most things in life, getting it right from the start will save you lots of effort. More than just the correct placement of furniture or avoiding certain colours, home fengshui looks into compatibility amongst the homeowners and your living spaces.
