Heidi Klum's Face Secrets

Heidi's forthright face could be a little too much for some to handle. Heidi's nose reveals her sometimes straightforward and blunt approach to dealing with others but shows a constant seeking to understand others giving her a natural psychological edge.

Her low set eyebrows tell us she's impatient and a little intolerant of others and likes to get things done quickly. Heidi's face exhibits considerable angularity, particularly in the chin and jaw area, indicating her love of sports and outdoors.

Heidi should excel at activities that give her ample movement to express her pent up emotion. In contrast to these harder personality traits, her eyes exhibit a softness and idealism in love. Because this part of Heidi's face relates to her mid-thirties, it's a time she can explore and begin to fully appreciate her potential in relationships.

Heidi's lips tell us she's not your typical model, but possesses an intellectual and progressive attitude with a leaning towards self knowledge. You could call Heidi the eternal student of life.

Rove McManus's Face Story

Rove’s face exhibits a very strongly defined forehead and a gently developing M shaped hairline – all indicating high imagination, creative brilliance and wonderful communication skills. It also shows a sense of public service and humanitarian sensitivity. In short, Rove has a good heart.

Don’t be fooled by the shenanigans and prankster like character he exhibits on screen. Rove’s delicate features and inverted triangular face disclose a far deeper and thought provoking personality than we would first imagine. Rove’s large ears leave us in no doubt as to who’s boss. Rove has good longevity as shown by the strong cheek lines on his face.

Christina Aguilera's Face Secret

Christina’s wild and untamed hair reflect that very aspect of her nature. Her defiant and progressive thinking and on-stage antics are an extension of the way she lives life. And Christina’s slightly pouting lips also speak of her scorn for tradition and conventional ways of living.

Christina’s eyes are animated and her pupils are large indicating a vivacious and exciting approach to life. Her tapering chin an aggressively independent and free thinking spirit who questions others’ motives.

Christina’s eyebrows are a little too sparse in relation to the other features on her face and can indicate health weaknesses in her early to mid 30s as well as conflicts with family members.

Her rather pronounced nose foretells of an underlying playful and fun loving side which is indeed part of her hedonistic streak. Christina’s mantra could well be “turn everything up louder than everything else”.

Her eyelids are slightly developed which reflect an intuitive flipside to her creative being but that she needs to take note of those intuitive promptings just a little more over the next few years

Cindy Crawford's Face secrets

Who can help but be bewitched by the classic face of Cindy Crawford? Each and every feature is harmoniously balanced on her face. The most interesting point on Cindy’s face is her mole of sensuality located above the lip area of her face. She’s given to a love of luxury. It’s also called the culinary mole and reveals an interest in food, and other culinary delights.

Cindy’s eyes have a distinct “cat’s eye” shape telling us of her opportunistic side. Cindy’s capitalised on lucky breaks in her life, having an impeccable sense of timing.

Cindy’s high cheek bones tell us of her love of sport and the outdoors. Her romantic exploits are reflected in her near perfect lips which reiterate her love of pleasure. 2005 and 2006 will see a resurgent of Cindy’s professional achievements - additional highlights to an already illustrious career.

Naomi Watts face's Secrets

Notwithstanding the elegant beauty of Naomi’s face, you can’t help but notice her strong jaw and jutting chin – all pointing to an inflexible personality. This attribute however reflects determination and staying power in her. Like most ‘silken haired’ individuals, Naomi also possesses a sensitive and alert mind which fortunately balances her doggedness.

The upturned nose is beautifully formed but possibly a little small in comparison to her face, particularly her mouth ,so Naomi runs the risk of not having ample physical reserves to fulfil of the task she sets herself.

Although Naomi will attract oodles of men in her life, there’s an inherent mistrust in the opposite sex indicated by her Saturnian influences at birth. This is noted in her eyes, revealing shrewdness and aloofness. When Jupiter transits her twelfth Lunar sector in 2007 she may have to deal with some health issues. She should work on strengthening her health – this is also shown by her pinched nostrils.
 

CELEBRITY FACE READINGS Teri Hatcher

Teri Hatcher

Teri has a gregarious nature and knows how to use humor as a means of getting through the tough periods of her life. Although elegant to look at, her tenacious mind motivates her far more than her looks. Teri’s large mouth and smiling eyes are indicators of honesty and good will. She is however a very emotional girl who wears her heart on her sleeve.

Teri‘s inner ear is very interesting to say the least as it displays a need for plenty of social life with people who are not your normal, run of the mill types. She is fascinated by characters who have a unique story to tell. There is excellent symmetry in her face and this shows she is capable of balancing her professional, social and personal life perfectly.

CELEBRITY FACE READINGS

Mickey Rourke
Mickey Rourke has lived hard and fast - not to mention the obvious cosmetic modifications made to his visage over the years.

Note the blotchy lips which are indicators of poor digestion. The lips are a measure of our digestive health and when found discoloured or dry, cracked and unpleasant to look at, mean that the internal organs of digestion may be unhealthy.

His eyes have become narrowed, smaller, over time which shows an introverted personality. In his younger years his eyes were larger and more expressive. He has obviously withdrawn to some extent. This may not be his natural tendency but is perceived by others to be so ( if only unconsciously).

Notwithstanding this, Mickey is an observer of people himself and this is shown by the pronounced ridge over his eyebrow area. He likes sizing up people and is a psychologist of sorts.

The large philtrum ( groove ) between the nose and lips is a reflection of sexual appetite. It is strong and deep and wide. In fact this shows he may have overindulged these appetites.

Mickey's eyebrows are somewhat patchy and lighter in colour than his hair and this shows deteriorating health along with a temperamental attitude. These things are also seen by the cheeklines making contact with the outer edge of his lips. These are not great markings to have on the face.

THE FACE UNMASKED

In introducing the general overview of the face, a couple more important points are noteworthy. They relate to the height and width of the head and face. A person with a developed backhead is more emotional, family and socially orientated. The narrower the backhead - the less so. The height of the crown indicates the idealism but more so the authority of the person. When the crown is low the person lacks in confidence to the degree that the crown is underdeveloped.

Obviously, an overdeveloped crown produce a tyrannical, authoritarian nature. Next time you're in the office you'll be inspecting a few crowns on superiors heads I suspect! An ambitious nature is also revealed by a well developed crown. The upper portion of the top of the head relates to imagination in proportion to its development and the dominance

Passivity can be detected by the width or narrowness of the head when viewed front on. The length of the head reveals foresight. A short head, when viewed side on indicates lack of forethought and a more live-in-the -moment attitude.
The Hair

Your hair is a measure of physical insulation, endurance and overall strength. If your hair is fine, delicate and silky, you are sensitive and also likely to be fragile physically especially if you are of a slender build. Thick wiry hair is an indication of your physical prowess and your resilience in life. You have great recuperative powers and may like a challenge in life.

The Forehead

The Forehead can be broadly categorised as follows - A wide forehead expresses your cleverness and practicality - being someone capable of executing duty diligently. This gives you high idealism and a wealth of ideas. A high rounded and deep forehead depicts your idealism, but with a focus on strong friendship. A narrow forehead is considered an obstacle to fulfilment,especially in social situations. Constraints in family life. Need to think things through.

Shallow forehead with a low hairline may cause many obstacles to your career success and parental troubles between the ages of 15 and 30.

Flat forehead gives you a more pragmatic nature, given to factual expression.

Exaggerated forehead reveals you are certainly a dreamer - one who needs to anchor your ideas firmly to a plan of achievement.

The receding or "flying" forehead betrays your impatient and spontaneous manner in life. Possessing an indented forehead is not a good omen for you employment or business prospects. Plan and work carefully. Indented with powerful eyebrow ridge means you are quick tempered, impulsive and ambitious.

A pointed forehead shows your high intelligence if your hairline is set back and not too narrow.
The Eyes

Most importantly, look to the eyes. Prominent eyes with bright sparkle or glitter are preferable to small, squinty or shifty eyes which reveal an introverted and secretive nature. In fact the eyes are the most important feature in your close encounters of the business kind. In your search for that employee or partner, look for eyes that sit firmly whilst gazing steadily. This reflects a solid and persevering nature and a person of stability and forthright disposition. In contrast, a wandering or shifty eye portends a nature given to unsettled and inconsistent habits. Restlessness will be evident and other features supporting your observation and gut feeling, a tendency to dishonesty and unreliability will be marked in this type. In short, this is a person of meagre commitment.

Unevenly set eyes convey an unique meaning. Firstly, the person is capable of seeing things from a different perspective and applying lateral thought processes to resolving problems. These people will analyse your comments and observations with a "left-of-field" mentality. Often you will be amazed at the impromptu insights that they offer. If you are looking for someone with a flair for shifting paradigms - then here's your man or woman. These people become invaluable assets to a company looking for enginuity in it's approach.

If the eyes slant upwards the person is an opportunist - more so if the brows also slant in that direction (cats eyes look). Many models like Elle McPherson and Claudia Schiffer possess these eyes. They know how to get what they want. If the eyes are of the opposite slant i.e. slanting downwards, the person may be a little self deprecating and at the mercy of others. They are hardly able to say "no".

The late Princess Dianna and Michael Jackson share a feature of the eyes. They possess floating irises also known as sampaku. The whites are visible under the iris. This indicates an inner turbulence - a person at odds with the world. Though spiritual in nature, they are hard to please or understand and have very high expectations of others. Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln also shared these traits.

The whites visible above the irises may indicate some dangerous elements within the personality. An explosive temper may be latent in this type and the nature very forceful. Caution is the operative word in this case. Charles Manson exhibited these eyes. Chinese face readers call them wolves eyes.

Look at how close or widest the eyes are. Ideally, there should be at least one eye width between both eyes. That being the case, you can assume your subject has a balanced judgement and clear view of the world. The closer set the eyes the narrower the opinion and view of the world at large. It may also reflect an overdependence on parental and family structures. These people may need a nudge to develop their own independent lifestyles. Their willpower should be strengthened in the search for their own self assurance. Employees and workers displaying eyes of this type certainly need continual encouragement to grow in self confidence. You will find these types possess little forbearance or tolerance and may crack under stress. Trivial matters can be blown out of all proportion.

In contrast, the wideset eyed character is far more tolerant and broadminded in perspective. People of this class may present a flagrant disregard for authority and advice. A delicate blend of firmness and understanding will iron out the initial stresses between you and this type. Offer them alternative choices in their decision making processes. In respect of career, these types need room to breathe. Give them plenty of space to explore their creative potential. At times these types possess too broad and superficial an opinion. Pauline Hanson is a case in point.

Deepset eyes betoken an intense, possessive, yet observant nature. When you look into the deepset eyed person you can be sure that the mind motivating them is idealistic and inspirational. Often writers and creatively driven personalities possess deepset eyes. They are romantic to the core. Omar Shariff's or Val Kilmer's eyes represent this class. This idealism is tempered after the age of 35 and surprisingly, reveals a more than capable ability in financial matters. They are of sound judgement, compassionate and serious minded. A philosopher's face may often also display a deepset "soul window". You will need to carefully analyse and balance the other facial features to see whether this type is scattered and impractical. The square or round chin will anchor this type to a more empirical lifestyle. In this case, from a commercial point of view, the middle aged with deepset eyes may be a positive asset to you.

Besides, a roving and unsteady eye, one incapable of looking at you directly, is an attempt to mask inner intentions. Sometimes though, the shy and discouraged will also reflect a similar eye. The look in these cases is an important factor in discriminating between one or the other. Through practice the "look" can be ascertained quite easily and can reveal amazingly accurate character snapshots of your subjects.

What does the look entail? Some looks are cold, others endearing, angry, weak or strong. It is the look which can override an otherwise attractive face. Soft, enticing features will be neutralised by a stern and unfeeling eye or a look which is hard and cruel. Always balance your judgement of character by the look in the eyes that present themselves before you.

Be watchful of people who look drunk even when they haven't had a single beer. Their eyelids sit very heavily over the eyes. Remember, don't jump to conclusions in any of your assessments. For example, the heavy lidded one may have had little sleep the night before. A sleepy or drunken look is one that is seen in both men and women. It offers a preview of a personality given to strong sexual desire, more so if the lips are excessively thick and slightly opened. Here is a libidinous nature, but one which may be lazy too. Periods of misfortune and despondency are also revealed in this look. Unless you prefer a casual and uncommitted worker or relationship...next please. Cold and unflinching eyes with small pupils and sharp eyelight may appear cruel. If the person possesses other features such as a pointed and downward turning nose, sharp angular shaped face and tightly pursed thin lips, be certain that the individual is indeed cruel - both mentally and even perhaps physically. This is a combo for ruthlessness. Accentuated jowels add more weight to your testimony.

The "look" of the eye and its internal expression is something that cannot be taught in words but doesn't necessarily require years of experience to learn. In fact we more or less instinctively do it when we meet people in various situations.

The colour of the iris is also an important determinant in your appraisal of character. A deep blue colour means that you are in the company of a highly sexed yet gentle and sensitive being. Light blue eyes suppose an individual who is likely to enjoy flirting with the opposite sex.

Deep green eyes are not only highly energised like their blue eyed cousins but very inventive too - both in practical and personal affairs. You will need a lot of time to understand the spontaneous and sometimes wilful mind of a green eyed person. Men and women of genius often possess this coloured eye. You'll need to sharpen your intellectual skills with green eyed people.

Grey eyes reveal a high degree of intelligence and imagination but passion may be less pronounced in this type as reasoning may subdue a part of their initiative. They are a refined class of people with a fastidious streak.

Black eyes are very rare and when encountered are extremely striking. They are somewhat strong natured individuals and don’t always present their case with what you'd call, finesse. You'd need to toughen up your skin to live or work with a black eyed character. A tumultuous road lay ahead if you opt for a life of black eyed fun??.
The Eyebrows
The eyebrow speaks of reputation, fame and temperament too. In many cases I have found a developed brow line also shows a high degree of dexterity or ability with the hands (engineers, electronics, civil engineers, drafts persons and architects). Individuals who are observant and who have to combine refined measurements with dexterity will have the brow line well developed.

The highly arched or ideal brow often seen in the faces of film stars is described as a dramatic brow.

The low set brow reveals an impulsive temperament whilst a higher brow signals a more cautious attitude to decision making.

A single thick brow over the nose bridge is a sign of intensity and possessive or jealous nature.

A straight brow is the sign of an aesthetic and sensitive temperament.
The Nose

The intensity of physical action is related to oxygen intake, and the external instruments of the body responsible for that function is the nose. A good sized nose is certainly an indication of wealth too and the capacity to earn money. It shows the attitude a person has to the issue of finances. Ideally the nostrils should be well concealed for the best financial prospects. The ages of 40 to 50 are ruled by the nose.

The Ideal nose has a high, straight, full and fleshy tip with gently flared but protected nostrils.

The fleshy tip indicates cordiality and warmth of personality. Deep empathy with others. Set high standards for themselves and are good mannered (Lailin). Oversized nose tip results in violent tendencies. The larger - the more prone to an act of violence

An Aquiline Nose portrays strong will, independence and enterprise with successful mid years.

An upturned nose betokens a luck in social circumstances and a love of mixing with people.

Other noses may include :-
High bridge & pointed: High degree of energy and very curious mind.
Large: High energy levels but may be more materially concerned than spiritual.
Small: Reserved, shy type.
Thin: Highly strung, on edge and somewhat irritable with trifles.
Wide: Expressive but may develop a devil may care attitude.
Long: Prudent but anxious.
Short: Happy, natural.
Short Snub: Friendly but also secretive. Slow meticulous approach to life.
Straight: Disciplined nature which is methodical.
The Philtrum

The groove on the upper lip, below the nose is worth mentioning. It is called the philtrum. If it is clearly marked, deep and long, it augurs well for a strong and healthy energy levels and vitality. Flat, weak and unpronounced philtrums are a mark of reduced life force and drive.

The Mouth


The mouth is related to communication, speech and the sensual appetites like eating and sex. The lips relate to our ability to nurture others in loving relationships. If the upper lip is considerably thinner than the lower lip, it reveals an inability to reciprocate in relationships. Conversely, a thinner lower lip indicates an overly giving nature.

Lips which are full, round and even convey to you that the person is caring and sensitive. The upper and lower lips in equal distribution reveal a well meaning and communicative personality.

If the lips are large it means an expensive and somewhat luxurious taste - but an expressive and generous temperament nonetheless. Often the large mouthed person can be very vocal under pressure, needing to verbalise, sometimes excessively, their dissatisfaction and frustration.

Small lips which are also tightly pursed warn of a self centred and mean character. The downward curvature of the lips is an marking pointing to discontent in most matters. You may find it hard to please these types irrespective of what you do or say. Look for upward curved lips which indicate the opposite - someone cordial and optimistic with a sunny disposition. Ex Prime Minister Bob Hawke exhibited the thin downward turned lips.

Narrow lips reveal an unemotional character who lives more or less an internalised life, never able to enjoy the pleasure of sharing deeper feelings.

As well:-

Large lips mean a rich and luxurious taste. Expressive and generous temperament.
Small: Selfish, miserly.
Curving down: Discontented.
Large lips: Hedonistic.
Curving up: Cheerful.
Curved lips: Changeable.
Straight lips: Self-controlled.
Narrow lips: Unemotional.

The Chin

This relates to the stamina of the individual and the stronger the jaw line the greater the degree of stamina and endurance. People with very strong jaw lines can sometimes be considered stubborn. If the jaw line exceeds the balance of other features in the face, don't be too hasty in your judgement as this may simply mean a person who has strong convictions and who is not easily swayed by the opinions of others.

The chin should be rounded or square in shape with a gentle fullness. If this is the case, the latter part of life, during the 60's and 70's will be satisfying and lucky.

A protruding chin displays a strongly independent, determined individual.

Weak or receding chin reveals a weaker willed personality.

Jawline extending beyond earline betokens an individual who doesn't like losing and who may brook no opposition.
The Ears

The ears fall in the mid section of the head but represent the early, formative years of life between birth and 15. As such, look to the ears to determine the foundation of life and the potential for achievement especially during the mid life ages 40 - 50.

The ears should exhibit good, fleshy inner and outer helixes. Thin and poorly shaped outer helixes may reveal diminishing health.

Some other general types of ears are as follows:-
Set Close to Head: Plans ahead and is thrifty. Doesn't like to leave too much to chance.
Protruding: An original thinker. Lonely. Non conformist.
Ears with small lobes: Not easy to achieve sexual fulfilment Dependant and may lack initiative.
Ears with large lobes: Independent, strong minded.
Large ears: Intellectual.
Longer than wider ears: Keen, impractical.
Small ears: Instinctive.
Ears with no lobes: Unresponsive and lacks purpose.

The Cheeks




If status and position mean anything at all to you, you'll begin paying a lot more attention to this part of your own and others' faces. Cheeks tell the story of industriousness, power and authority in a person's life. Although as westerners we have a preference for a prominent and bonier style of cheek, the eastern (especially Chinese face readers) have a different perception.

Ideally, your cheeks should be prominent, fleshy and high set with full body, colour and a warm glow. These attributes must be balanced against the position and strength of your nose. Both these features should harmonise with each other. The cheeks should stand somewhat apart from the nose not crowding it, nor too distant. The height of both should not detract from each other. If you do indeed possess fine cheeks of this description you will have very good chances of all round happiness.

In describing the ideal cheeks, Santa Clause may spring to mind with his rosy and shiny set of chubby cheeks. But according to eastern opinion, the excessively shiny cheek is indicative of digestive trouble. The cheeks are a pretty good barometer of health changes from time to time. Keep a close watch on your own biological gauge your cheeks. Other cheek colours to take note of in yourself and others are...
Overly red cheek: lung and bronchial imbalance
Shiny and red: gallbladder and/or heart problems
Red and rashy: trouble in the intestinal region

And in the sphere of personal relationships the colour of the cheeks may also herald some very important changes. For example,
Blue or greenish tinge - turbulence or difficulty in love life
Dark or grey tinge - inner dissatisfaction and poor circumstances generally
Any moles or marks which appear suddenly are indicators of danger or trouble through deception

The stronger the cheeks, the more authoritative you are. Those in positions of control, executive power and leadership will often be seen to possess very strong, prominent cheeks. In romance and marriage, the partner with the more powerful cheeks is said to control the other. When meeting others of the opposite sex take note of the strength of the cheeks. Compare your own and study the play of energies between you. Who is the dominant partner? Do you or the other person own the stronger cheeks? In this way you should foster the spirit of understanding and insight into your relationships - both for business and pleasure.

If your cheeks are prominent yet not fleshy it shows your frugal and economical disposition. You have a natural thrift not only where money matters are concerned but in virtually every department of life. You hate waste! You may be the one in the family who must eat the last vegetables left on your child's plate for fear that they may end up in the bin. Or, if you have a pet, you take pleasure in seeing that no scraps have been discarded by being offered at the door of the kennel for the next morning's breakfast.

In the case of undeveloped cheeks means you or not that forceful in your communication style and tend to be a little laid back but usually quite happy with what providence brings along. You must be a little wary that this doesn't deteriorate into an apathetic stance, which may cause lost opportunities for you.

Sometimes the cheeks appear to be strong in their presentation and are pronounced but lacking at the base. This means you are a forceful individual who is combative by nature. You are reactive to the circumstances and people around you and are learning the lessons of graciously living and letting live.

If your cheeks are narrow but strong you have a very stubborn streak in your nature. You are not easily changed in opinion or swayed from the course of action you set your mind upon. You are also extremely forceful in the way you present your opinions and ideas to others. This may not serve you as well as you think - especially if you require the support of your peers and superiors in your professional arena.

The Art of Face Reading

"Your face, my thane, is as a book where
Men may read strange matters."
--William Shakespeare
“Macbeth”

Human beings possess three bodies. First, there is the physical body, which you can see and is tangible. It is solid and has a shape, a color and a texture. The second and third bodies are the mental and the spiritual which are intangible and merge with the physical body. Our true nature begins to take on a physical form in our face. It is where our emotions and our state of health are first revealed. And, as Shakespeare pointed out in his play Macbeth: “There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face.” For the face is truly an opened book.

For thousands of years, the ancient sages wondered if our facial features could determine our fate or personality. They began to compile individual studies, one feature at a time, to see if there was a direct correlation between facial features and specific fates. In ancient Greece, Aristotle wrote extensively on physiognomy categorizing his findings into six chapters that included physical characteristics of face, body & voice. The Classical scholars, such as Homer and Hippocrates, wrote of face reading as an ancient method of practical philosophy. In the Middle Ages physiognomy was combined with astrology and became part of the divination arts. By the 18th & 19th century it was used in Europe as a separate study of criminology where facial features were used to identify potential criminals. In the 20th century it was lost to folklore and superstition. But, face reading has reemerged in the 21st century as a guide in psychoanalysis or, as a tool for a competitive edge in the executive boardrooms of corporate America. It is no longer a parlor game. The continuos interest in face reading has given credence to an art that the Chinese have always known has been an important guide in human understanding.

In China, the father of face reading is often credited to the philosopher Gui-Gu Tze, who lived during the Warring State Period (481-221 BC). His book Xiang Bian Wei Mang is still in print to this very day and is studied by serious students of physiognomy.

The Chinese art of face reading is a very involved system that classifies facial features individually by judging the color, shape and disfigurements of specific areas of the face. Basically, the face is partitioned into 108 areas. Each area is a specific age & life situation and by observing the Five Elements of the productive/destructive cycle and the Taoist theories of yang & yin, it may be possible to predict events, diagnosis illnesses or to understand a person’s personality.

To become proficient in face reading it is important to memorize the bagua and to understand what each trigram represents. The bagua becomes an important tool in dividing the face into seasons, body sites and specific life situations. If you look at figure #1 you can see that when you place it over a person’s face the trigrams fall into their appropriate locations. Li, the South, is at the forehead; it is Fame & represents fire. We can be assured that if the forehead is auspicious recognition will come our way. The center of the face is the Tai Chi. A black mole on the bridge of the nose spells disaster since water (black) weakens the Earth. The chin is Kan, which is water on the bagua and if the color red (fire) appears here an illness to our urinary tract or related organs may occur. A blemish in schun could mean a chronic illness that reoccurs in late spring or that a financial problem might be burdening you. A scar at the right temple (Kun) may indicate that a close relationship has suffered.

We now measure the face into the Three Stages of the Chinese trinity of Heaven, Man and Earth. The First Stage, which is Heaven, starts at the hairline down to the eyebrows. This represents our childhood. The Second Stage, which is traditionally known as Man, starts at the brow and ends at the area just below the nose tip. This is our middle years. From the nose tip to the bottom of the chin is our old age or the Third Stage and it is called Earth. It is important that the distance between each Stage is even in length. If one Stage is 1/3 less in size then life could be difficult at that particular period of life. A short, narrow forehead may indicate an unhappy childhood. A large forehead may tell us this person will come into society early. The Second Stage announces: “This is my life!” If it is open or has a happy feeling then this person may have, thus far, a good life. But, a short Third Stage may reveal a short life contrary to a long chin, which indicates a long life.

There are Four Turning Points of Life on the face. They are called Gates. The first Gate is between the eyebrows or the Third Eye and it is the age 41. The second Gate is located just under the tip of the nose and it is the age 51. The third Gate is right under the lower lip and it is the age 61. And, the last Gate is at the bottom of the chin and it is the age 71. These Gates are considered a “critical age” and that any scars, lines, inauspicious moles or blemishes here may predict difficulties around that age.

The Chinese also use the shapes and characteristics of the Five Elements to further describe a personality. A Fire face will be pointy like a triangle. For example, high, prominent cheekbones. They could be quick-tempered. A Wood face is long, rectangular in shape. They could be stubborn. A Water face is soft & round and may posses a long jawline. They can be flexible. Whereas, an Earth face is thick and they may be generous. And, a Metal face is square, especially the jaw & forehead. They can be self-indulgent.

The ancient Chinese also made a distinction between what was considered fortunate or unfortunate for either a female or a male. In order to keep harmony in a marriage what may be desirable on a man was not desired on a woman. For example, high prominent cheekbones and a very high forehead on a woman would not make a desirable mate. That’s because high cheekbones indicate aggression & competitiveness and a very high forehead is power. The ancient sages felt it was best that only the man wore the pants in a household. But, a look through any fashion magazine can tell you that in modern times high cheekbones are considered attractive, as well as, a prerequisite for any aspiring fashion model or actress. But, if you think about it you’d have to be aggressive and competitive in a profession like that.

In Chinese face reading, we also have The Twelve Houses. These are 12 points on the face representing various life situations from the First House of Fate, positioned between the eyebrows, to the Second House of Siblings (eyebrows) to the 4th House of Children (under the eyes) and so on.

Below is a brief summation of auspicious and
inauspicious qualities of some facial features:

A summary of the ears:

Auspicious: Above the eyebrow level;
long earlobes; flat against head; wide door.
Inauspicious: Small earlobes;
leaning forward; narrow door.

A summary of the eyebrows:

Auspicious: Dark, thick, long;
smooth and orderly; high above eyes.
Inauspicious: Sparse, thin, pale,

tip; full, fleshy wings; invisible nostrils.
Inauspicious: Low, crooked, hooked or bumpy bridge;
pointed or upturned tip; thin wings; visible nostrils.

A summary of the mouth:

Auspicious: Rosy colored; thick, broad squared
shape; symmetrically balanced; lips closed.
Inauspicious: White, dark colored; thin; a small
shape; symmetrically unbalanced; lips opened.

A summary of the chin:

Auspicious: Full, fleshy, broad & long.
Inauspicious: Thin, short, pointed or
receded, dimpled or broken.

A summary of the eyes:

Auspicious: Large size; wide-set;
dark pupils with silvery whites.
Inauspicious: Small; close-set;
small pupils and discolored whites.

Face reading is a subjective art and therefore it is as reliable as the person who is doing the interpretation. But that is what makes art an art. Now that we have a basic feel for physiognomy we can look at some famous faces & see if we can get to know them better.

:: Face Reading ::

For centuries, people have tried to understand aspects of a person's character just by looking at their face. The ancient Chinese believed that your face was a reflection of your inner spirit. In Medieval Europe, beauty was considered to be synonymous with virtue, and ugliness was sometimes considered a sign of evil. Even in more recent times, phrenology -- the study of the shape of the skull -- was used erroneously to identify the guilt of suspected criminals. As recently as the 19th century, this remained a popular school of thought.

While these once fashionable ideas have been disproved by modern studies, there are still aspects of the face that may allow us to make a judgment on somebody else. 

Face shape

Round: A person with a round face is considered to have a more emotional personality and may be sensitive and caring. Apparently, you guys have very strong sexual fantasies and enjoy being in stable, long-term relationships. 
Oblong: Oblong types are considered to be very practical, methodical and with a tendency to overwork. You are most likely to have a muscular or athletic physique, which some equate to narcissism and may lead to problems in relationships.
Square: A square face is linked to fire and you may appear as aggressive, ambitious or domineering. You have a sharp, analytical mind and are decisive.

Triangular: These face shapes are traditionally associated with a thin body and an intellectual persuasion. Chinese face readers associate this face with creativity and sensitivity, as well as a fiery temperament. 

The Forehead

A wide forehead is supposedly a sign of cleverness and practicality, as well as being idealistic and someone who has many ideas. If your forehead is flat, it indicates someone who is pragmatic, logical and expresses themselves through facts. If you have an "exaggerated" forehead, it references a dreamer, someone who needs a firm plan of action to go alongside their ambitions.


The eyes

How to tell if someone might be lying:

Made famous by Richard Bandler and his ideas of Neuro Linguistic Programming, the idea is that where someone looks as they speak is an indication of what they are thinking. If you ask someone a question and they look up to their right (your left), it means they are accessing their creative brain, which indicates a visual construction. Up to their left indicates they are accessing a visual memory and are likely to be telling the truth. Similarly, looking directly to their right indicates an auditory construction (a lie), and to the left is an auditory memory (the truth).
The shape of the eye may also be revealing. There is a lot of detail here, but we will just cover some of the basics. Prominent eyes that glitter brightly are preferable to small, shifty eyes that display a nervous temperament. Unevenly set eyes suggest a person who looks at things from different perspectives, and often have startling insights into problems thanks to their ingenuity. Eyes that slant upward denote somebody who is an opportunist and are people who know how to get what they want. Many supermodels have this look -- as do cats. Finally, deep-set eyes belong to people with an intense, possessive (but observant) nature, and are often associated with writers and creative types.

How widely set your eyes are may also be revealing. Narrow set eyes suggest a narrow view of the world, while wide set eyes are more tolerant and broadminded. They may also have scant regard for authority figures.
Finally, be aware of what is described as "the look." While this is something that cannot be expressed in words, it is something we can instinctively detect when we look at someone. The eyes are the window to the soul, and being able to detect whether they are cold, cruel, warm, or amorous is something we all get a feeling for just by looking at someone. 

Eyebrows

Weak or fine eyebrows are believed to suggest someone who is quite indecisive and sometimes lacking in confidence. Conversely, people with bushy eyebrows value assertiveness and tend to have quite strong personalities. Having a unibrow signifies an intense personality, which may be prone to jealousy and possessiveness. These are people who think an awful lot, which may suggest an introspective personality.

Nose

The ideal nose has a high, straight, full, and fleshy tip with gently flared, but protected, nostrils. The fleshy tip indicates cordiality and warmth of personality and deep empathy with others. These types set high standards for themselves and are good mannered. An oversize nose tip results in violent tendencies. The larger the nose tip, the more prone they are to an act of violence. An Aquiline nose portrays strong will, independence and enterprise, while an upturned nose suggests luck in social circumstances and a love of mixing with people.

Mouth

The mouth is linked to communication and sensuality, and the shape of the lips can be quite revealing. A thin top lip and a full bottom lip may indicate someone who cannot reciprocate in a relationship. The opposite arrangement suggests someone who may be overly giving. Full round lips convey a caring and sensitive nature, while small lips are indicative of a mean and self-centered personality. Downward curves suggest someone who will be very hard to please, while upward curves indicate an optimistic character. 

Jaw line

A strong jaw indicates someone who has a very strong value system and may judge you very quickly. The stronger the jaw line, the greater someone's stamina and endurance. These people may also be considered stubborn. 

In contrast, a weak or receding jaw would suggest somebody who has a weaker willed personality and may be susceptible to the influences of others.

Finally, a jawline that is wider than the ear line denotes someone who is incredibly competitive and hates losing. They do not brook competition. 

Wrinkles

Crow's feet (the wrinkles around the eyes) are said to be "joy lines." They are said to be a sign of an open heart and someone who spreads joy as they go. The vertical frown lines that appear between the eyes reveal a very logical person -- someone who works hard and can be very decisive. The lines that extend from the nose to the mouth are called purpose lines. The emergence of these lines are said to denote people who are moving along the right life path.
