"classical wisdom, modern inspirations"
A good Business Feng Shui assessment begins with both the external surroundings and internal office layout besides Workplace Destiny Energy computation.
Layout of the premise preferably regular and align with property feng shui destiny chart. Special attention to the location and direction of the main entrance, as this is a vital point which Qi-Energy enters the workplace.
Main Entrance 明堂
In Classical Form Feng Shui, a spacious and open area in front of the office entrance is known as the 明堂 (Ming Tang).
阳宅首重大门，以大门为气口，纳气旺则吉，衰气则凶。
A supportive Ming Tang allows movement and Qi to approach the premises more comfortably and is traditionally associated with better opportunities and wealth potential.

From inside the office looking out:
These landform relationships are considered when assessing staff stability, support from benefactors and the overall strength of the workplace.
Before you purchase or rent the office, ensure that your main door is located at Wealth or Reputation sector and facing a prosperous direction. Generally in Period 9, South is the preferred direction but this does not take into account of other factors.
Another worthwhile pointer is to make sure that your main door does not face a “constricted” space example narrow passageway or wall or downward slop or stairway leading downwards. This causes the “yin” energy to evaporate rapidly resulting in poor sales and profits.
Doors, Lifts & Walkways
The external environment is also evaluated using the office as the focal point.
This includes the direction and movement of:
The objective is to determine how external movement and Qi approach the business premises.
Do not choose a shop or office that is long, narrow and deep. A ratio of 1:3 breadth vs length is not advisable. These are common sights for prewar shop houses in Duxton, cantonment, Neil road, joo chiat areas. Most are converted into SOHO or retail outlets.
In feng shui main door is “yang 阳” active energy and the back is “yin 阴” passive energy. Due to the longish layout, it is difficult for yang energy to reach the end of office. The energy is “choke” at the middle. It cause disharmony and invites office politics. It increases staff turnover and pose challenges to get sales.
Also ensure that the direction of your window or doors is towards the “good timing” based on San Yuan feng shui. Currently directions that are good for energy (not water) are NorthEast and South.
Shallow and Wide layout is bad too
Feng shui is all about balance.
The reverse layout where the office or shop is shallow and wide like the illustration is also bad business feng shui.
This causes the “yang” energy to enter rapidly but unable to retain inside the office or retail shop. In feng shui perspective the Company will find difficulty to retain their earnings. So you will have a cash-flow issue. This is not ideal for customer loyalty.
Retailing in business feng shui
If your business is a fast-moving consumer product or service then it should be located along “阳 Yang energy” i.e. major/main road not tucked away in back-lanes. One good example of strong yang presence is Singapore orchard road.
On the other hand minor roads/back-lanes are “阴 Yin energy” suited for niche market or specialised services. Suitable businesses are pet shops, organic food, pedicure/manicure brothel etc For specialised or niche products, customers will purposely look for you thus the yin energy.
5-Element Symbolism of Buildings
Timing of “Earth” energies 三元九运 地运 Period 1 to 9
Some of my clients were recommended to choose an office space or shop space based on Bazi / Birth profile lucky elements which is incorrect. Take for instance your birth profile requires metal. Metal is West or North-West which is Tuas area. So if your business is a fast-moving consumer product do you want to have a shop in the industrial side of Singapore? To make matter worse West belongs to the Period 7 where the “Earth energy 地运” ended in 2004 Feb.
As a generalisation than rule of thumb. For wealth opportunities you can consider buying offices or shops that overlooks water in Southwest, Southeast and North direction. Water refers to swimming pool, artificial lakes , rivers and so forth. Water towards SW direction is good during 2004 to 2024 and N or SE from 2024 to 2044 for Period 9 feng shui.
