The Thickness of the Ears Also Suggests Various Meanings

· Thick ears close to the head indicate a person’s sensitive nature, thoughtfulness, and the ability to organize and plan (desks, meetings, or any other professional endeavor).

· If the ears are thick and high (imagine the handle of a teapot), it means that the person will gain success at a young age thanks to their intellectual capabilities. In parallel, they will also enjoy the fame that comes with these hard-earned achievements.

· A person’s earlobes also suggest certain strong traits about them. If they are thick and full, it means that they were raised in a happy, healthy, and wealthy family. They have had constant support from their family from the beginning and still do.

Mouth and Lips

Also representing the water element, a person’s mouth usually does the talking, which is an effective way to make quick judgments. A lopsided and crooked mouth is a sign of poor communication skills.

This, in turn, means that the person is not confident enough and lacks the ability to make friends. If a person has a large mouth, it often means that they are generous and kind.

The Shape and Position of the Lips Also Suggest Various Meanings

· If the ends of one’s lips point downwards, it means that the person is shy, conservative, suspicious, and unhappy most of the time. They are not particularly friendly and drive people away because of their cold, stubborn demeanor.

· If the ends of one’s lips point upwards, it means that the person is confident, positive, cheerful, and friendly. They attract people towards them and befriending them is always a pleasurable and fulfilling experience.

· If the lips are thick, it means that the person is kind as well as physically and mentally healthy, but they are not especially good at speaking in public, which can be a serious challenge in their professional and social lives.

· If the lips are thin, it means that the person is a gossip fanatic. They love to judge and talk about people behind their backs. They also tend to be very chatty, which may be favorable in social settings to avert awkwardness and build rapport.

Traits Based on the Size and Volume of a Person’s Lips

· Thick or Full Lips: Thick lips are rather attractive and add to a person’s beauty. These people tend to be very confident, warm, and always look forward to learning new things. They thrive on honing their skills and adding new ones to their set.

They also appreciate those who give back and care about sharing new experiences with others. Finally, they like to meet new people and make friends.

· Thin Lips: These people prefer quality over quantity and are usually extremely picky. This is because they are attracted to the finer things. They prefer objects, thoughts, or food that is

presented well; in other words, presentation matters greatly to them. They are sophisticated and want to do things their way.

That said, they do not stop others from doing things the way they see fit.

Nose

The shape of your nose measures your wealth. People with large noses are usually wealthier than those with thin and snubbed noses.

And while beauty standards favor small, well-defined noses, people with naturally thicker noses are luckier as far as wealth and overall life success.

The Shape and Bridge of Your Nose Also Suggests Various Meanings

· If the nose bridge is tall and has thick wings at the base, it means that the person is strong-willed, sincere, popular in their social circle, and has the ability to grow rich and successful.

This is also known as the Garlic Nose.

· If the nose wings are thick and full, it indicates that the person will be blessed with money. It will not be difficult for them to gather a great amount of wealth, either with luck, through hard work, or both.

Traits Based on the Size and Shape of a Person’s Nose

· Long Nose: People with long noses are highly responsible, caring, and curious. They want to learn new skills and show a sense of practicality in their approaches, but it is difficult for them to love and get their minds across. They are quite serious and often take things too personally.

· Short Nose: People with short noses have an open mind and are always up for new adventures. They are extremely flexible and dependable. While they may face difficulties in getting along with others, they still try their best. They lack financial planning skills and tend to spend compulsively, often living beyond their means.

· Pointed Nose: Pointed noses are somehow associated with femininity. These people’s strong intuitive power is remarkable.

They are often drawn to culture and arts, especially music.

· Flat Nose: People with flat noses are loyal, patient, and hardworking. They will do anything to succeed and put in maximum effort to reach their personal and professional goals.

Tongue

The tongue as a facial feature is rarely considered in face reading, as it is not always obvious or immediately perceived (unless, of course, you ask the other person to stick their tongue out for a reading, which we do not recommend). Since the tongue is a crucial part of face reading in several studies, learning about it can be greatly beneficial and complement your knowledge.

The Shape and Length of the Tongue Denotes Various Meanings

· If the tongue is short, it means that the person lacks discipline and personal drive. They can hardly focus on their roles and are hardly ever competitive. They also tend to lack ambition.

· If the tongue is long and thick, it shows that the person is able to learn new languages with ease. They are also quite

proficient in communication and self-expression.

· If the tongue is long and thin, it means that the person is very talkative and can make others uncomfortable, seeing as they rarely think before they speak. They also tend to babble and talk about others.

Chin and Jaws

Since the chin and jaws are connected, they are often read together.

Traits Based on the Size of the Chin and Jaw

· Small Chin and Jaw: People with a small set of chin and jaws favor quality over quantity. They are sophisticated and prefer long-term relationships over episodic flings. Their approach to any subject can be quite conventional and “by the book.” At the same time, they prefer to stick to their roots or traditions to ascertain their personal values.

· Sharp or Prominent Chin and Jaw: A sharp and chiseled jawline is immediately visible on one’s face. These people like to be in charge at home and in the workplace. They are aware of their exceptional leadership qualities, which makes them deeply judgmental and opinionated. They are inherently strong and like to hold their ground. If they believe in something with all their heart, they will stand up and fight for it tooth and nail.

Hair

The color and texture of one’s hair can reveal things about them as well. The most common hair colors are black, blond, brown, and ginger.

Traits Based on the Color of a Person’s Hair

· Black Hair: People with black hair tend to be calmer than their counterparts. If the hair is straight, it means that the person is also melancholic. People with straight black hair seem to emit negative vibes around them. They are often pessimistic and cynical in their vision of life, but if they have

black and curly hair, they may be more jolly, caring, and affectionate.

· Blonde Hair: These people are the most curious of the lot and have a phenomenal memory. Even if they are not physically weak, they may appear so at times, but compared to other hair types, these people are indeed often physically weak.

They have a unique talent for making a good impression and can ease any situation. Even if they don’t show it, they are often self-conscious. Lastly, they are obedient and show youthfulness through their cheerful nature.

· Redheaded or Ginger Hair: People with red hair may come across as angry and skeptical, always ready to argue or start a fight. They are also short-tempered, which makes it easy to trigger them. Their strong physical energy and brutality may be scary, which is why most people tend to avoid engaging with them.

· Brown Hair: Brown-haired individuals enjoy traveling and are always seen out on an adventure. They have personality and character, which makes them very charming and attractive.

They can easily blend in with others but may offend some due to their outspokenness or dissident views. Although they are mostly liberal, they may be surprising at times. Lastly, they are avidly romantic and passionate in bed.

These five elements are so prominent in Chinese history and ancient medicine that they are considered, to this day, an effective way to assess a patient’s inner nature. In fact, certain types of diagnoses involving the five elements are still used in modern practice.

Whenever a patient has undergone internal changes due to a health condition, Chinese doctors always made sure to note any changes in their facial attributes. This paved the way for face reading to become an integral part of diagnosis and patient assessment in Chinese medicine.

Because this approach is essentially holistic, it aligns with the principles of Chinese medicine. A patient is seen as a whole rather than targeting specific body parts that suffer from aches, pains, or other discomforts. This approach considers the patient’s body, mind, and spirit to treat them and help them regain optimal health. Lastly, these five elements help doctors determine the important attributes that are in balance and those that are not. Together, these reasons are enough to explain the significance of the five elements of face reading in Chinese medicine.

By studying these five elements, you will gain a better understanding of people and their behavior. You will learn about yourself in both private and public settings and gain insights into others around you.

It will help you deal with people sensibly and give you enough

reaction time before judging a person. At the end of the day, everyone is unique, and each individual possesses a different set of strengths and weaknesses.

Chapter 4: Reading the Past, Present, and Future A person’s face can be analyzed to read their past, present, and future. It is based on the ancient Chinese face reading technique that divides human life in a cycle of 99 to 100 years, from a person’s birth to their death. A specific facial feature represents each year. In other words, a person’s 99 years, which is the full life cycle, are marked on the face. You can easily figure out their past, present, and future by spotting the year patches with their facial features. In this section, we will be analyzing each life phase and its corresponding facial feature.

Let’s take a look at these stages with respect to the facial features they represent and what they say about the person.

1. 0 to 14 Years

Represented by: Ears.

The ears represent a person’s childhood, from birth to fourteen years of age. If the ears are thick, fleshy, and well-defined, it means that the person is or has been blessed with a supportive entourage (family, friends) and great health during that time. While the left ear designates a person’s early childhood, from birth to seven years of age, the right ear represents their late childhood, from eight to fourteen years of age. To predict a person’s past during these years, take a look at the respective ear. If one has a scar, discoloration, or is shaped differently than the other ear, it means that they have endured a difficult life during that phase. If both ears are out of proportion or bear scars, they most likely had a troubled childhood.

2. 15 to 30 Years

Represented by: Upper forehead.

Learning more about a person’s past starts with reading their forehead, as it tells a lot more than the ears can. The top of the forehead, which is also known as the celestial region, speaks a lot about someone’s past. A person’s childhood is always fated and is never the result of hard work or talent. In other words, the childhood phase is written when a person is born, and they will endure it the way it was meant to be. This is why the upper part of one’s face is also known as the Heaven region, which indicates that our birth and childhood fates are already predestined.

If the forehead shows scars, marks, discoloration, or bumps, it could mean that the person has had a challenging childhood. The easiest way to predict a person’s past or childhood is to analyze the skin tone in that area. If it is dull or patchy, it could mean that they had trouble in school, a poor academic record, an inability to make friends, or even poor health. They might have also faced issues with their relatives and siblings. On the other hand, a clear and smooth forehead indicates a happy and healthy childhood. They are also blessed with a supportive family, immense wealth, ancestral property, help and protection from their elders, and a comfortable lifestyle. As kids, they are driven, curious, and on the right path to fulfill their goals.

While the phase between fifteen and thirty years old does not exactly qualify as childhood, it explains the person’s life during their adolescence or young adulthood. The ages of fifteen to nineteen, which are the teenage years, are considered late childhood, when people still live with their parents, whereas those aged twenty to thirty are considered young adults. Although their written fate still dictates their circumstances, they can write their own destiny with dedication, perseverance, and hard work.

3. 31 to 40 Years

Represented by: The forehead, eyebrows, and eyes.

Just like the skin tone of the upper forehead reveals a person’s childhood and youth, the skin tone and condition of the entire forehead determines the person’s adulthood and career. If the forehead is clear, smooth, and round, it indicates that the person will attract many opportunities and enjoy a good career boost early on.

Eventually, they will succeed sooner than others. On the other hand, a dull skin color indicates that the person may have to or might have struggled to achieve success. In some cases, they may not even succeed during this phase.

In parallel, the eyebrows focus on a person’s life between the ages of thirty-one and thirty-four. If the eyebrows are closely spaced or even joined, this represents the unapologetic nature of a person.

They are unable to forgive easily and do not let things go and may hold grudges against people for a long time. If the eyebrows are

slightly curved, well-defined, and firm, it means that the person is positive and cheerful. Thanks to this, they will attract and build valuable personal and professional relationships. If the same set of eyebrows are widely spaced and thick, the person may also accumulate a lot of wealth within this period. It also means that the person is destined to live longer.

If the eyebrows are thin, it points to a person’s introverted nature.

They are unable to make friends easily. However, if they do make friends, the bond is everlasting. They choose friends carefully –

friends who turn into family. If you notice any form of discoloration near the person’s eyebrows, it could mean that the person will face trouble in their career. It will prove very difficult for them to fulfill their work goals. At the same time, they may also face health issues.

Lastly, if the eyebrows are well-defined and evenly shaped, this shows that the person is driven to collect wealth; they will work hard to achieve their goals and become rich.

To determine a person’s past, present, or future between thirty-five and forty years of age, also take a look at their eyes. If the person has big, bright eyes, they will easily succeed in their career during these years. In contrast, if the eyes are small, sunken, or deep, it could foretell a major obstacle in their career throughout this period.
