"classical wisdom, modern inspirations"
Singapore is located at the south-eastern tip of Malaysia.
Mountain Kinabalu 4,095 meter height in Malaysia travel from NorthWest direction 乾龙入首 and terminate at Singapore 龙脉结穴.
Northwest 后天卦 in I Ching represents Qian Gua 乾 卦 卦象为天 metal element. Singapore is lucky to have Sumatra and Borneo to act as embracing arms 砂手 to embrace the water.
Book of I Ching interpret Qian Gua as Heaven. This is an auspicious Gua.
乾卦是《易经》六十四卦之首 the leader “天行健，君子以自强不息”
Singapore Qian Gua leadership in Period 6 feng shui
The strongest Yang Metal energy.
Symbolic to fatherly figure, strong leadership, mentor, decisive, discipline, respect and enforcement. Does this sound like 60-70s Singapore’s leadership style?
This gua 君子以自强不息 read as citizens to work hard , never give up and perserve in whatever circumstances.
Using five elements productive cycle, 2 elements that are favourable to Qian Metal Dragon – Singapore. They are Earth and Metal. Based on Xuan Kong flying star formula
Qian gua represents Period 6, 1964 to 1983. You can call it “coincident” that Singapore gain it’s independence on August 1965.
Singapore after gaining independence grew rapidly passing another metal element period 7 兑卦运 1984-2003.
Today we are in Period 8 (2004-2023) – Earth element 艮卦运. Earth produces Metal. Singapore Qian Dragon – Metal is still looking good.
Based on feng shui perspective from year 2024 to 2043 is period 9 symbolising Fire element 离卦 controlling cycle for Qian-Metal dragon. How do you think Singapore economy will perform?
后天乾卦 Northwest Qian Gua is connected with Li South sector 在先天离. Without boring you with the principles these 2 Gua is interrelated. To make this work 先后天卦象合十五 the ruling party must align with the citizens.
This is in my humble opinion. Why tiny Singapore is so prosperous in the world because of natural landforms and timing of energies solely based on feng shui interpretations.
Singapore Feng Shui PinYang Dragon 平洋龙 ？
Judging Singapore as an island surrounded by water one can also term it as “平洋龙”. Literal translation means level & open space. The following are some quotes from feng shui classics and see if you are agreeable with me.
杨筠松 (疑龙经) ：”行到平洋莫问踪，但看水绕是真龙。
“平洋之地，其势为阳，其生气自下行上，但求其 平坦开阔，虽然四面无遮，而不嫌八风相吹，不忧其生气散佚“
缪希雍 (葬经翼) : “平洋阔衍，去山岗甚远，穿田度水，断伏已多，众水交流，平夷如掌。因此，平洋地最重要的是水龙交合”.
i heard many versions as to why Singapore being such a small island is prosperous.
Some of the claims i leave it for you to judge. There are little or no references to feng shui classical books.
In my opinion, Suntec City fountain of wealth is a good example of using feng shui principles.
