Is 4 an Unlucky Number in Feng Shui?

The Deadly 4?

Many people believe that the number 4 is unlucky because it sounds like "death" () in Chinese. As a result, property buyers tend to avoid homes or floors with the number 4, similar to how some Western cultures avoid the number 13. However, this belief is based on superstition, not Classical Feng Shui.



4 and its affinity with Floor level and House number

In reality, the number 4 has positive meanings in Chinese metaphysics. In Xuan Kong Flying Stars (玄空飞星), 4 is known as the Academic Star, representing intelligence, knowledge, and learning. When combined with 1 (forming a 4-1 star combination) in a home’s layout, it creates an ideal study or work area, known as the Wen Chang (文昌) position, which benefits students, researchers, and anyone involved in intellectual work.


Additionally, 4 can also be linked to romance and relationships, especially when paired with water elements. This makes it favorable for careers in sales, marketing, and public relations, where strong interpersonal skills are essential.



For example, in a south-facing 5-room home, if the 4-1 combination appears in the living/dining area or a bedroom, it can enhance academic success and improve relationships when water features are properly placed.

Conclusion

The number 4 is not inherently unlucky. Instead of avoiding it due to superstition, homeowners can use Feng Shui principles to harness its positive energy for learning, career growth, and relationships.

Nobleman Help in Times of Need

In everything you do, there's usually someone helping you succeed, alongside your own hard work. This help might be obvious or subtle, but it plays a big role.


By looking at your birth date and home layout, we can figure out where in your home you're likely to get extra support and nobleman luck.



Example# 1
If you were born on August 14, 1974, your Day Master is Ding (丁火- Yin Fire). Your personal nobleman areas in your home are derived as Northwest 3 (亥-NW3) and West 2 (酉-W2) which are in the Living/Dining and Bedroom 2.

The Hidden Impact of Wind Gap on Home Comfort

Wind Gap between 2 buildings

With many new property launches recently, some residential buildings are being built very close to each other. In some cases, the distance between buildings is so small that they are just a short step away.

If you look out from your home’s main door, windows, or balcony and see a narrow gap between two nearby buildings, this gap might create what Feng Shui calls negative Sha Qi (unfavorable energy). This happens because the gap can act like a wind tunnel, allowing strong winds to rush through, which may create discomfort for the people living there.


"Closing the Gap, Calming the Winds: Embrace Harmonious Living, Minimize Discomfort."


Whether you’re buying a home for investment or to live in, such conditions could affect your family’s well-being and financial stability.



For example, if Unit A faces a wind gap between Buildings B and C, this Sha Qi could harm the health of the occupants. If the gap is located in the South, it may especially affect the middle daughter or middle-aged woman in the home. This could result in health issues related to the heart or eyes, particularly in the Year of the Horse or the month of June.

If the wind gap is in the Southwest, it could negatively impact the mother or elderly women in the household. The direction of the wind gap can influence which family member might be most affected.

To reduce the negative effects of a wind gap, you could take steps to improve the surroundings:
  • Trees or greenery: If there are trees or landscaping in the area of the gap, these can act as a natural shield to block strong winds.
  • Durable materials: Using stronger building materials in areas exposed to wind can create a more comfortable and secure home environment.

Directional Impact on Family Members


Your home has its own unique story and energy. Whether you want to improve your current home or find the perfect new one in the upcoming Period 9, make sure to choose wisely to create a supportive and harmonious living space. Let us help you start this journey right!

Receiving Good Fortune with Mountains and Hills

An aerial view of Mountain ranges surrounding the urban city
Embracing the wisdom of Chinese culture, we find strength in the saying: '山管人丁水管财,' where 'Mountain governs People luck, and Water governs Wealth luck.' The core of a prime location lies in the strategic placement of these natural elements.
According to the 3-Cycle 9-Luck Feng Shui principle (三元九运), spanning from now until 2043, the strategic placement of mountains is key. For maximum Feng Shui benefits until 2043, we look to the Northeast, South, West, and Northwest, and the presence of Mountain in the South of your home is most prosperous in the upcoming 20 years, as we enter the Period 9 era.
For Example
Using Lentor Hills as an illustration, this new neighbourhood conveniently located near the upcoming Lentor MRT station is planned around an existing hillock.
Although various land plots are designated for upcoming property development surrounding Hilllock Park and can benefit from this hill, some plots could enjoy the lion's share of it.
Hillock Park is located in the West and Northwest of Plot B and D and also partially located in the Northeast and Northwest of Plot G and E.
A new neighbourhood planned around an existing hillock

What is “Prosperous Mountain”?
But what exactly is 'Prosperous Mountain'? To harness its quality energy or Qi, the mountains you spot nearby should be lush and green, not barren with exposed rocks and soil.

Hill in the city vicinity


What if there are no Mountains and Hills?
Even higher grounds can serve as mountains or hills and need not be massive or conspicuous to our eyes. If you can 'see' one of these elevated spots around your home, you might be on the path to harnessing nature's blessings for good fortune.

Greenery Hills in the suburban neighbourhood and afar

So, when you embark on the search for your dream home, take a moment to observe your surroundings. Look for Mountains, hills, highlands, or even subtle elevations nearby. If you find one, delve into the energies it could provide to support your aspirations and endeavors.

The Story of Eunos Court

Generally, the homes at Eunos Courts are generally North, South, and East facing homes in Period 8.

Siteplan of Eunos Court and its vicinity

Using a North-facing home as an illustration, this 4-room home has an auspicious double 8s at its frontage based on Xuan Kong principle. Should there be water in the frontage, this brings about general wealth and prosperity to all the occupants in the household. 

This is a good feature in Period 8, but will gradually decrease when entering Period 9 which starts from 4-Feb 2024.

On a positive note, some of these units could also be benefiting from the 7-Star Robbery (七星打劫) formation. This is a good Feng Shui formation that could bless the residents with good fortune, transiting to the next 20 years and beyond. 

Hence, although the homes in Eunos Court will be ready for occupancy this year and it is also the last year of Period 8, some of these homes could still be prosperous in Period 9.

Both A & B have the same layout but mirrored each other.

In this development, it is observed that the 4-room homes generally have the same floor plan and size, but some of the homes are mirrored, whether North, South, or East facing.

For example, both A and B are North-facing Homes in Period 8. Although they have the same floor plan and size, their layout mirrored each other. The Residents staying in these homes could encounter very different endeavors in life under the lens of Feng Shui.

Based on the site plan of Eunos Court, watch out for the roads entering and exiting its vicinity as the homes could be violating the environmental affliction of 8 Roads to Destructions (八路黄泉). So beware.


As every Home tells a different story, know more about your home story and its potential, or perhaps begin a new journey with your dream home right the first time.

The Favorable and Nemesis this November

The better sectors of the home in the month of November are the Southwest, East, and Southeast where the first 2 sectors bless more prosperity in the financial endeavors.
Annual and Monthly Flying Stars from Nov 7 - Dec 6

The Southeast sector can be a great sector for academic studies, especially this month when it is also an examination period for some students.

To accelerate the learning process, you can align to the prosperous direction of the Life Door (生门), where the energy based on Qi Men is more vibrant. Hence, you can study in the Southeast sector of your home, and sit with your back against the East direction to tap into this energy.
The Year and Month Breaker days (破日) are the unfavorable days of the month. Consider avoiding these days for making important decisions, like product launches, signing contracts, moving into a new house, or even marriage. If you are encountering bad endeavors on these days, they could be amplified further. So, beware.
For those who are curious about these unfavorable dates, they are the 12, 15, 24, and 27 of Nov.
The Nemesis in November

The Story of Central Weave @ AMK

Central Weave @ AMK
Central Weave @ AMK - a new Build-to-Order (BTO) project in the Ang Mo Kio precinct

In Feng Shui, there is a Chinese saying: 山管人丁水管财, which can be literally translated as Mountain governs People's luck, while Water governs Wealth opportunities.

These landforms play an important role in determining the Feng Shui quality of a property, especially relating to the health and wealth aspect of the residents.

Using Central Weave @ AMK as an illustration, comprising of 5 residential blocks of 896 North-South facing homes in Period 9, this development is embraced by 2 hills or rather higher grounds in its vicinity in the West and Southeast directions. The residents could be blessed with good people luck (旺人丁) relating to better health, fostering better interpersonal relationships with others, etc.

It is observed that the major road junction between Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 and 8, can serve as the major Qi mouth, and if the homes are well-aligned to this cross junction, it can benefit the residents with good fortune and abundance.

On a Negative note, it may be a concern that the homes in this development are bounded by roads on all sides, and it might cause a negative impact on the residents, perhaps relating to wealth loss or their well-being. So, beware.

Nevertheless, with the well-positioned hills or higher grounds, and connecting roads in its vicinity, there is a high chance that some of the homes could be blessed with bountiful wealth opportunities not only in the next 20 years into Period 9 but beyond, conforming to a closely-guarded wealth enhancement principle commonly known as the Five Ghost Carry Treasure, or 五鬼运财 in Chinese.

Siteplan of Central Weave @ AMK 

With a supportive environment, one can further ascertain and enhance the quality within the home for a better floor layout that can be personalized benefiting the residents, with Feng Shui principles, like the popularly known Flying stars, and 8 Mansions Feng Shui.

A Special Month of Prosperity and Disruption

This August is a special month as it can be prosperous and disruptive. The Annual and Monthly Flying Stars are having the same energy patterns from Aug 7 - Sep 8. This indicates the life energies residing within your home can be amplified, both auspicious and negative energies.

Annual and Monthly Flying Stars from Aug 7 - Sep 8

During this period, the auspicious areas of the home will be the South, Northeast, Northwest, North, and also the Southeast.

Financial Performer
The South area will be more beneficial for new financial ventures, and also a good sector to improve your interpersonal relationship with others, while the Northeast area could bless the residents with more wealth opportunities.

Career Advancer
If you are working for someone and your working space is in the Northwest, more promotion opportunities could be knocking at your door, advancing your career to the next level.

Academic Achiever
For those who are still schooling or preparing for an examination, the Southeast and North sectors will be a great area for academic pursuits, whether for your children or yourself.

Enhancer Catalyst
These activities can be further enhanced with Qi Men, where you can sit with your back against the East direction, tapping into the Life Door (生门) energies.

Example #1
If your study area is in the Southeast or North, you can spend more time in this area as it can aid concentration on learning. These activities can be further enhanced with Qi Men, where you can sit with your back against the East direction, tapping into the Life Door (生门) energies for your learning experience.

The Academic Locations


The 2nd Chance
If for any reason it is not possible to use the East direction, then you can sit with your back against the North direction, harnessing the Open Door (开门) energies as your alternative option.

Example #2
If your working area is in the Northeast or South, consider spending more time in these areas as it can attract more wealth-related opportunities, perhaps new financial ventures, and could also foster interpersonal relationship building with others. These activities can be further enhanced with Qi Men, where you can sit with your back in the North direction, tapping into the Open Door (门) energies.
The Vibrant Location for wealth-related opportunities


The Unfavorable
As mentioned earlier that both prosperous and negative energies can be amplified this month, beware of the problem sectors which are in the East, West, and Southwest, as people using these areas may be prone to more argument, discord and sickness could affect your well-being.

The Story of Bukit Merah Ridge

Bukit Merah Ridge - a new Build-to-Order (BTO) project under the prime location housing model

It is observed that more new public housing is located in relatively prime areas, like the recent May 2022 Sales Launch by HDB which comprises 5 new Build-to-Order (BTO) projects.

Using Bukit Merah Ridge which is one of the new projects, as an illustration, the 5 residential blocks, standing tall ranging from 29 to 48 storeys in height, is bounded by Bukit Merah View, Henderson Road, Tiong Bahru Road, and Lower Delta Road.

This development is also neighbour to City Vue @ Henderson where a five-room HDB flat there had just changed hands for an eye-popping $1.4 million recently, making it currently the most expensive HDB flat sold.

In Feng Shui, the external environment plays an important role in grading the quality of the home regardless of whether they are public housing, private condominium, apartment, or landed homes. Sometimes, public housing development can even surpass the expectation of privately owned homes, and one of the factors that made this possible is the locational factor.

Bukit Merah Ridge is relatively well-located with homes facing North and South, and a handful of them facing Northeast and East, overlooking some of the good landforms in its vicinity and beyond, especially those Homes on the higher floor; i.e. greenery at Telok Blangah Hill Park, Mount Faber Park, and the nearby Tiong Bahru Park at its frontage, and overlooking the city skyline towards the Orchard shopping belt from afar.

Some of the homes in this development are also well-designed with a relatively good home layout to connect to its conducive external environment, especially benefiting the residents in the next 20 years into the Period 9 era.
