Bad energy is welcome in retail business 若要发, 斗三煞

One contradicting fact from home feng shui is retail feng shui welcomes “bad energy” 煞气. The better you are able to manage the bad energy the better will be your business. Examples of bad energies are facing T junctions, box junctions, sharp pointed edges of buildings …which are actually good for retail feng shui! There is only one “catch”. It is the feng shui ability to manipulate the bad energy into a positive one. You will need sufficient physical frontage space to do so. Doing it wrongly and it will backfired.

Qi men Dun Jia doors in feng shui 

Be mindful of human traffic, walkways, escalators and roads leading to your shop, it must enter from auspicious directions 旺气 and exit towards bad directions so as to transfer negative energies 失运 away from your shop.

One can also use “qi men dun jia 8 doors” to establish the location of your entrances at “life door 生门 profit”,  “open door 开门 sales” or “relax door 休门” customers interaction depending on your merchandise or service. If you can integrate with other feng shui formulas like San Yuan, San He even better.

Masterplan and zoning 

Besides the usual principles to look out for when selecting a good business retail unit such as location, foot-traffic, size, wide frontage, rental, anchor tenant, one will have to research on Singapore LTA and Master plan for zoning and road structures. Singapore economy is evolving so rapidly, any sudden construction of a viaduct or MRT or expressway or flyover can affect your business profits. A sudden emergence of MRT exit constructed right in front of your shop, brings foot traffic and good business.

Shop feng shui destiny vs product / service offering 

Identify your shop feng shui destiny 商店 宅命. Does it support upmarket products or mass-consumer products. If your Shop Destiny supports branded products and you are selling fast moving consumer products then you are in the wrong business.

Wide frontage is good retail feng shui

Look around the world most popular shopping belt in the world. They have one common attribute. Wide pavement for walking traffic. Time square in New York, Ginza in Tokyo, Oxford Street in London and in Singapore none other than orchard road.

Take Ngee Ann City as an example, it has a very wide frontage. Notice the clever use of metal, flag pole & water. The left and right side of the building on the background looks like palms of hand to embrace the fountain of wealth. It is symbolic to the Green dragon and the white tiger based on “form” principles. The five flag poles is to deflect bad energies and water to trap wealth energy.

Anchor tenant

Mountain in business feng shui is symbolic to the anchor tenant. Chinese feng shui classics call it “山富沙旺”.

Cul de sac feng shui (dead end of the road)

If your shop is located at the dead end of the road, in feng shui is call “yin 阴” energy. This is popular for “privacy” businesses. Products or services should be “niche-market driven” than mass consumer impulse buying goods.

Based on “form feng shui” theories, architecture of a building can be categorize into 1 of the 5 elements i.e. earth, metal, water, wood and fire. Certain architecture of the buildings are good for business start-ups while others for established ones.

5 element architecture classification 

Buildings that are tall and slender resemble the wood element. These are good for young enterprising business. Sharp pointed buildings take after fire element. This is good for tech firms and new start-up. But it either rises or fall rapidly. Wave-like architecture – water element are good for people-business, such as travelling, tourism, PR. Long established companies can go for boring earth element structures, slow and steady win the race. Brand leaders, sophiscated products can go for metal structure buildings.

Where to locate your office – earth’s favourable timing

Feng Shui form theories divides physical environment into external and internal. External environment are the shape/height of building, road/train infrastructure, directions, and sizes that influence the quality and quantity of positive or negative energy leading to your office.

We can used Xuan Kong Di Yun 地运 and Tian Yun 天运 formulas to choose locations that are favourable. Currently we are in Period 8 2004 to 2023 where North-East region like Punggol is flourishing. Wealth direction-water in this period is Southwest direction or East for leadership presence.

The next period, flying star “9” from 2024 to 2043. “South” region presents the best investment opportunities. If the building faces a river or lake or swimming pool towards North or Southeast is good for wealth and status. Therefore for an investor one can consider investing in the Southern region.

Roads leading towards your building is important

Proper roads are convenience to customers.  Most would consider positioning the office in prime area is the best choice if budget allows. However the choice of location is affected by the product or service that you offer. If your product or service is for mass consumption such as retail banking than it make sense to have it in the prime area. Otherwise for specialise service like feng shui one does not need to do that.

Finding a good feng shui office layout is simple and good business for a Company. If the shape of your office is irregular with missing sectors, first it is impractical and second the missing area could be your wealth zone.

In business feng shui, we match the correct business functions to right office feng shui energy. For instance placing your sales and marketing department in the office destiny wealth zone will escalate sales. Below are illustrations of good and bad feng shui layouts:

Notice the long and narrow layout? The Main Door faces a blank wall and you can barely stand 3 persons outside the frontage. The ex-feng shui master Singapore of my client tilted the door making the situation even worse!

Everything is fine for the above layout except that when i inspected the office, the missing sector is the Wealth sector. Moreover my client use it for his IT department which is counter-productive. Hence making profits is the fundamental challenge for this office feng shui.

Feng Shui Office not necessary a Total cure for bad feng shui

The problem of choosing these 2 offices. Unit 5 Main entrance faces a long, narrow constricted passage. Unless your Company is very strong financially, it is difficult to counter the rapid energies. The lack of space in the reception area also makes it difficult to do counter measures. Hence feng shui office assessment is not possible to cure 100% of the problem in the light of technical constraints.  Unit 1 faces the Lift door which could be good and bad depending on the energy chart of your office.

Choose your office feng shui carefully before renting or buying, you maybe stuck for 3 years!
