Wind (Feng)

Wind, which is also a type of chi, is an important factor in Fengshui. It can be a useful tool but it can be your enemy too. In Fengshui, wind is mainly classified as 4 various types based on the 4 season namely spring, summer, autumn and winter, each having its own characteristic. And that’s why many say, one has to fine tune fengshui in every 3 months.

A house must always be airy. A well structured house can also enjoy cool breeze during the hot season. A house that lacks of wind develop stagnate energy stopping growth of the residents and bring health problems. But a house with draughty wind can also create instability for the residents and loss of wealth or income. A smoothing cool breeze that travel through the house is ideal for chi circulation.

The wind flow in the interior is caused by the structure of the premise, openings (window and doors) and the terrain. A taller building in front of the house can obstructs the wind flow but a bigger structure at the back of the house can shield off draught. So, the next time you invest in a property, you might want to observe your terrain and the interior for a balance chi circulation.

We mentioned earlier that different season gives different type of wind. Even us who lives at the equator can feel the differences between the hot months and cool period. Wind blowing from the Northwest during the Lunar 11th and 12th month is the most chilling chi that can make one ill. There are many Chinese phrases that make use of the “Northwest wind” to describe ill fortune. The Chinese believes that there must be window in the East side of the house, so that the house can be embraced by the morning sun and the gentle wind that cools the house.

Today’s modern architecture in Singapore, most residential building does not enjoy balance sunlight and wind flow as space is a costly assets.
