CHINESE FACE READING

WHAT YOUR FACE SAYS ABOUT YOU?

Most of us are familiar with using palm reading to determine fate and fortune. How
about face? Face reading, also physiognomy, is a science which predicts the fate by
reading the facial features of people. As the saying goes “personality and thought can
be judged by people’s faces”. Through face reading, we can learn many things, such as
fate, character, future and fortune, about someone we meet at the first time. Of great
importance, it is applicable to many occasions like blind date, job interview, making
friends and business negotiation, and can prevent some wrong decisions. However,
physiognomy is quite complicated and difficult to master. Following are some basic
knowledge and techniques of face reading for you to get started and you can learn the
general characteristics of someone once you master the knowledge although it may not
be exactly accurate.

ORGANS ON FACE

1. Forehead: Forehead represents one's luck in youth (from the age 15 to 30), as well as
one's father, mother, husband, luck, career prospect, thinking, analytic ability and so on. 
A good forehead is full and mellow, without messy lines, bad moles or scars, no concave
or drooping hairline, neither narrow nor overly protruding and not dark or gloomy.

wealth. The nose with upturning apex indicates the difficulty in making a fortune while

treasury, the smaller indicates the failure in saving wealth. Between the age of 41 and 50,
the apex plays the greatest impact on your luck for wealth. Neither the apex with mole
nor the wry, sharp or thin nose suggests the deep pocket. Also, the nose is related to
health and the bridge collapse suggests poor health.

talent. The mouth with no drooping but upright and slightly cocking-up corners is the
best.
