Singapore
Our head office is located in the beautiful Garden City of Singapore, where we are fortunate to have well guarded landforms.
Macro Landform Analysis:
The Mountain Dragon
Singapore is the Dragon Head of a Qian Incoming Dragon 乾龍入首. The Dragon dips into the Straits of Johor, flattens out (化平) ,and release veins with 90 over rivers on the islands ending towards Marina Barrage, the main Water Mouth of the island. The dive landform adds to protection already provided by the Mountain Dragon of Singapore (潛龍).
An even larger Dragon landform (“Macro-Dragon”) exists, consisting of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, East China (Shanghai), Southwest China (Yunnan) and Southeast China (Guangzhou). All these regions are Xun巽 and Zhen震 branches of this landform, the source of which is none other than the tallest mountain range in the Himalayas.
This line from Water Dragon classics 《水龍經》 best describes the 90-rivers embedded water terrain of Singapore island:
“行到平洋莫間蹤, 只看水繞是真龍。”
The Water Mouth at Marina Barrage is the main theme of Singapore’s Macro Water Landforms.
Converging Watermouths at Raffles Boulevard
At Singapore’s main Qi mouth in Raffles Boulevard, 2 rivers converge – Singapore River and Kallang Basin. These 2 water bodies are in turn convergences of a dozen other rivers/canals that meander through the Northeast and Northwest areas of Singapore.
This gem at Raffles Boulevard is further shielded and guarded by a relatively narrow waterway to Marina Barrage, before the water finally exits into the Straits of Singapore at Southeast 辰.
Storage of Qi for Singapore’s Water Mouth
Across the straits, the Southern Islets barricades and prevents the dispersing of Qi, forming an external Bright Hall (明堂) for Singapore. Further out of the Straits of Singapore,the Water Dragon from Straits of Malacca crosses Singapore from its right and converges with the South China Sea from its left. The Malaysian island of Borneo forms the Dragon’s left embrace, and the Sumatra & Java islands of Indonesia form the Dragon’s right embrace.
Guardians of Singapore’s Water Mouth?
As described above, the natural terrain of Singapore is superior. Its main Water Mouths are well placed – all that’s left is one thing: A good Water Mouth should not only be well embraced, it needs to be “locked”.
Currently, infrastructure construction projects are ongoing at the Marina Barrage. When complete, the Merlion at One Fullerton (formerly known as Collyer Quay) will no longer be guardian of Singapore’s River Mouth; however, these structures will somewhat help to lock the Water Mouth there. More work still needs to be done to contain Qi effectively, in order to weather our island country’s economy from the next financial waves.
