Physiognomy is a science whose knowledge helps to “read” the character and temperament of a person by his facial features. Understanding even the basics, you can easily learn to guess the behavior and actions of other people.
Chinese physiognomy divides people according to types of energies, which are reflected in their appearance and character. There are five types: Fire, Water, Wood, Soil and Fire. Let's figure out how to read a person's face based on this concept.
Energy of Water
“Water” people are very calm, wise and reasonable. They are incredibly sensual. Communicating with them, you get the impression that they see the very essence of things, understand everything deeper than other people.
- They usually have very thick hair with soft waves.
- The most prominent part of the face is the eyes. They are usually large, with a very calm look, full of wisdom. There are always dark spots under the eyes, even in childhood. If a person does not live his energy, swelling and bags appear.
- The chin, with all the external smoothness and softness of the face, usually stands out, it is clear and noticeable.
- The figure is usually very “fluid”, it has smooth rounded hips, feminine shapes.
- “Water” girls prefer a very feminine style of clothing. These are dresses made of flowing fabrics in delicate shades.
- The movements of aquatic animals are very soft, smooth, and slow. They never fuss and are in no hurry.
Character traits:
- They do not tolerate boundaries and restrictions; they are people of freedom. And they choose a job with a free schedule, and in relationships they really value personal space.
- If a water person comes home from work, he will first go to the bathroom - he needs to be alone with himself, avoiding questions from his family.
- Endowed with enormous willpower, wisdom and prudence. They love to develop spiritually.
Fire Energy
Fiery people are desperate lovers of life and optimists. They value new impressions above all else and need constant emotions. Very amorous: they fall in love and are disappointed endlessly. Very attractive and seductive to the opposite sex. Loneliness for them is the worst punishment.
- They have curly hair like a lamb's. This is the brightest and most obvious sign in appearance.
- With age, constant smiling causes deep, pronounced nasolabial folds to appear, and wrinkles form around the eyes.
Such people always smile, are full of optimism and never give in to difficult life circumstances.
Wood Energy
This energy is highly rated in our world. These are purposeful, active people who value high social position in society and achievements above all else. They are incredible workaholics, capable of working extremely hard. Therefore, most often it is the “wooden” ones who end up in the hospital with heart attacks.
Their problematic emotions are anger and irritation, which are reflected on the face by deep transverse wrinkles on the forehead and in the area between the eyebrows, which makes them look serious and constantly frowning.
- He has very rough facial features, as if carved from wood.
- Well-defined eyebrows, thick and bushy. The upper eyelid is often drooping, making this part of the face impossible to miss.
- A heavy, strong-willed chin, also very noticeable.
- Sports figure. In men - squat, stable. Or, on the contrary, a very tall “basketball player”.
Training, self-education and career development are mandatory for “wooden” people; without this they see no meaning in life.
Soil Energy
Soil people are created to nourish, nurture and care. They are able to give a sea of love and care to everyone who surrounds them. They are incredibly hospitable and value family and friendship above all else.
In appearance, the Soil can be read very simply:
- Full, plump, sensual lips on a round, soft and smooth face.
- Women have a very feminine figure: a pronounced waist, smooth, rounded, noticeable hips. They are not thin and asthenic; on the contrary, more often than other energies they suffer from excess weight.
The problematic emotion of the soil is a huge, deep resentment, which is reflected on the face with drooping corners of the lips and an offended expression that does not go away. “I do so much, I try so hard, but I am not appreciated or thanked!” - this is what people with the energy of the Soil most often feel, but are silent about it.

PREFACE
Interest in the human face has been around for a long time. The great thinker of antiquity, Aristotle, drawing a connection between the structure of a person’s face and his character traits, wrote: “Whoever has a wide mouth is bold and brave, whoever has a thick nose, like a bull’s, is lazy, and whoever has wide nostrils, like pigs, he is stupid, he who has a sharp nose, like a dog’s, has a choleric temperament, and he who has a protruding nose, like a raven’s, is careless.”
Natural observation is an extremely rare quality. And yet it is possible to develop it through constant training. And knowledge of the basics of facial expressions and physiognomy helps to unravel a person’s mood, gives the key to “reading” his character, habits, and abilities from his face. That is why the first section and part of the second of this book are devoted specifically to this issue.
There is another, no less important aspect of understanding the characteristics of the human face - its congenital pathology and diseases, often associated with neglect of the simplest precautions or lack of basic knowledge on the prevention of diseases of the facial area. Everyone would like to remain forever young. But how to keep your facial skin smooth and healthy? How to identify a disease by the face, to recognize an alcoholic or drug addict? Do criminals have their own “face”? The authors tried to answer all these and some other questions.
THE ABC'S OF PHYSIOGNOMY
End of the 18th century. Old castle in the south of France. The servant reports to Count Lebrun about the arrival of the guest. Soon the friends are chatting animatedly in the library, where ancient tomes stand side by side with paintings in rich, although already dilapidated, gilded frames, and hunting trophies stand side by side with antique sculptures. The clock chimes, the doors swing open and mechanical men appear - musicians performing a minuet... The guest gets up and takes his leave, wants to leave, but... the polite owner suddenly rushes at him, wrings his hands and snatches the pistol hidden from the guest. The friend confesses that he decided to commit suicide and came to see his friend for the last time.
But how did you find out about this? - he asks in bewilderment. And in response he hears:
I am a student of the great Lavater.
Another student of Lavater, Cubissy, passing through the living room of the Parisian judge Lange, was struck by one of the female portraits hanging on the wall and stopped to take a better look at it. A quarter of an hour later, the judge, without waiting for Kyubissi, began to look for him and found him standing in the same place with his gaze fixed on the portrait. “What can you say about this work? - asked the judge. “Isn’t it true, a beautiful woman?” “Undoubtedly,” answered Kyubissi, “but if the portrait is made successfully, then its original apparently has a black soul; this must be the devil himself?!” It was a portrait of the famous poisoner Brenvilliers, as famous for her beauty as for the atrocities that brought her to the scaffold.
Most likely these are legends, but the fame of the Swiss pastor, theologian, moralist and poet Johann-Gaspard Lavater (1741-1801), who stood at the origins of physiognomy, was truly great. Despite many errors and misconceptions, he was the first researcher to prove the relationship between “movements of the soul,” mental processes and emotions expressed by facial expressions.
Lavater devoted all his free time to painting portraits of his flock, which he completed in the filigree manner of Renaissance masters. For hours he studied their facial features, trying to unravel their character, inclinations, and characteristics. Given the religiosity of people at that time and the secrecy of confession, he always had the opportunity to test his assumptions. Lavater's popularity eclipsed emperors and kings. People came from all over Europe to attend his physiognomic sessions; they brought him children, lovers, the sick, they sent him portraits, masks, and casts. They admired him, they idolized him, but they were also afraid of him. According to contemporaries, the famous adventurer, the brilliant Count Cagliostro avoided meeting with Lavater, although, remaining innocently naive and absent-minded until the end of his days, the pastor sought to see the European celebrity, about whom there were rumors that he was 350 years old, that he was a magician and sorcerer and can turn base metals into gold. Lavater was friends with Goethe and left an enthusiastic description of his face. “His mind is always permeated with a warm feeling, and his feelings are always brightly illuminated by his mind. Pay attention to the shape of this warm forehead, to this quick, piercing, loving and mobile eye, not sitting very deeply under slightly curved eyelids, to the expressive nose, to this essentially very poetic transition to the upper lip, to the courageous chin and open strong ear. Is there anyone who wouldn’t see that this is the face of a genius!” Lavater's art is subjective. Talent, coupled with many years of painstaking work, allowed him to achieve brilliant results. But it was the art of intuition, guesswork, that died with him.
Lavater argued that one can recognize the inner essence of a person by facial features. This teaching, or “system”, was called physiognomy (modern - physiognomy). This is how Lavater himself defined what he meant by this term: “I call physiognomy the ability to recognize the inner essence of a person by his appearance, to notice some natural signs that are not immediately apparent.”
Lavater believed that by the expression of the eyes and the outline of the mouth one can judge not only a person’s mood at the moment, but also his character in general, because people themselves “work out” their appearance depending on what they imagine it should be like. facial expression according to social status. Therefore, there are characteristic features of a courtier, lawyer, doctor, military man, statesman, etc.
Lavater's teaching made a great impression on his contemporaries. His popularity as the author of philosophical and ethical works further contributed to this. Among the adherents of the new teaching was the great Goethe, who helped Lavater in creating his works on physiognomy.
Lavater also had many supporters in Russia. N.M. Karamzin, in particular, belonged to them. Traveling in 1789-1790 in Europe, he visited Lavater and received from him the manuscript “One Hundred Physiognomic Rules,” which he described in his “Letters of a Russian Traveler.” Returning to Russia, Karamzin vigorously propagated the teachings of Lavater and distributed his writings.
Physiognomy as a science has not yet received universal recognition, but the truth of its basic principles should be judged based on experience. Let's use the interpretation of physiognomic data (nose, eyebrows, eyes), which the American psychologist Professor T. Map gives in his book, and try to use it, albeit first, to characterize our friends and loved ones. So, let’s check whether it is possible to judge a person’s character and abilities by the shape of the elements of his face.
Rice. 1. Nose shape.
NOSE. A long nose is characteristic of a conservative, proud person who has great creative potential, but lacks business qualities. People with a hooked nose are arrogant and have poor relationships with subordinates. The tip of the nose in the shape of a drop signifies success in business. An “eagle” nose is a sign of an unstable, vindictive person. A snub nose indicates not very good health, and a too snub nose is found among those who live carelessly, not caring about the future.
According to the concepts of Eastern physiognomists, the nose reflects the characteristics of a person’s spiritual life. It is believed that the ideal nose has a rounded tip and shaped wings. Too large nostrils indicate personality defects. A person with an ideal nose has the nature of a lion - he is distinguished by courage, passion, and assertiveness. People around you like people with a beautiful nose. It follows that the owner of a beautiful nose is a strong personality.
A long nose is generally considered a sign of strong individuality. A variety of shades stand out here: a long nose, well balanced with the eyes, mouth and chin, indicates a strong nature. A short nose speaks of openness of soul and optimism. A bony long nose is an indicator of pride, arrogance, and quarrelsomeness. A bony long nose with a pronounced hump often belongs to a gloomy person; if the bridge of such a nose is too sunken, deformed or riddled with horizontal potholes, this is a sign of malaise, however, with the overall balance of the face, this sign does not dominate. The Japanese consider a high and even bridge of the nose to be ideal - by the way, such a bridge of the nose occurs in healthy people. .
The tip of the nose can say a lot. A person whose nose tip resembles a hanging drop is usually cheerful, therefore he is prosperous; if the tip of the nose resembles the beak of an eagle, such a person is insightful, cunning and often vindictive. The full, large, bulbous tip of the nose is evidence of cordiality and warmth. A raised nose with protruding nostrils means self-will, intemperance, licentiousness. The forked tip of the nose is evidence of timidity. Too small nostrils indicate compliance, wide wings of the nose - about conceit. Red nose - dishonesty, a red, porous nose (“spoiled orange”) often belongs to drunkards. Dark spots on the nose are a sign of physical distress. A nose that stands out sharply on the face in women, as a rule, indicates a dysfunctional life in youth, but this becomes obvious only after 35-40 years.
BROWS. Eyebrows rising to the center of the forehead are a sign of ardent imagination. Eyebrows raised upward in a triangle indicate a strong character; their owner easily turns his plans into action. Eyebrows that form one line foreshadow a troubled life at the age of 30-35, but a person with such eyebrows is able to overcome all difficulties. Ideal eyebrows - oblong, wide, thick, harmoniously framing the eyes - are a sign of a reasonable person. Small, shapeless eyebrows are usually found in unbalanced people.
According to the Japanese, wide, long eyebrows should be considered ideal. The proportionality of eyebrow development (shape, color, thickness) indicates a balance of emotions, mind and character. Coarse, bristly eyebrows indicate the opposite. According to physiognomists, eyebrows reflect relationships with the immediate environment. A pleasant eyebrow shape signals that their owner gets along with others.
When the bushy eyebrows are raised at the outer ends, it is said to be a sign of generosity of soul and courage. Such a person is considered born for success. Drooping outer eyebrows indicate shyness. When such eyebrows seem lifeless in structure and color, it is believed that this is a consequence of depletion of internal energy. If a man has straight and long eyebrows, and, moreover, pleasant-looking skin, he is considered an intellectual. A woman with such eyebrows is considered a coquette, and you can expect any trick from her. Short eyebrows always mean the opposite. However, short but thick eyebrows speak of the explosive nature of their owner. If the eyebrows are thick and bristly, their owner is of a “devilish” nature. Stubbled eyebrows always indicate obstinacy, stubbornness, and uncompromisingness. Thick, heavy eyebrows that connect at the bridge of the nose mean an irresistible desire for leadership. A woman with such eyebrows has a strong character and is not suitable for the traditional role of a housewife. High eyebrows are a sign of determination. Eyebrows positioned very low indicate the opposite.
Rice. 2. Forehead shape.
FOREHEAD. If the upper side of the triangle is wide, this is a sign of a faithful comrade, a practical, business person who is more interested in official affairs than in home and family.
The narrow upper side of the triangle indicates the possibility of family troubles. Such a forehead speaks of an independent character.
The hair of an artist, an artist, in a word, a creative person, often grows in the shape of the letter M. Such people do not care about the future. A broken hairline indicates a difficult childhood. Short wrinkles on the forehead with irregular outlines are a sign of health. One, but clearly defined wrinkle across the forehead is a sign of luck. Two or three transverse wrinkles and a vertical wrinkle intersecting them indicate success in the future. This is a sign of longevity and glory.
Thinkers and good administrators have two short but deep wrinkles between the eyebrows. Deep folds running from the nostrils to the lips are a sign of long life and great success.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the largest researcher of facial expressions, K. Huter, gave a detailed description of how, by the proportions of the main parts of the human face, one can understand the essence of a person, see the tension of willpower and the desire for self-education, the contradiction between prudence and ideal aspirations, on the one hand, and sensual impulses and base instincts - on the other. The scientist believed that based on the proportion of the face one can judge the inclination towards self-discipline and self-education, towards a calm conscious or instinctive and unconscious way of life.
Huter divides the human face into three main parts: 1) the forehead, the shape of which determines the image of mental activity, the real understanding of life; 2) the middle part, reflecting the degree of sensuality and character, spiritual depth and inner content.
In particular, the eyes and mouth inform about the prevailing mental activity at the moment, the direction of thought, the nose - about the will of life or the character determined by it, the shape and expressiveness of the nose is significantly influenced by the appearance of the forehead and lower part of the face; 3) the lower part, which gives an idea of a person’s energy, his love of pleasure and base instincts, reveals the desire for one’s own benefit and selfishness.
The size and width of the forehead and lower part of the face make it possible to judge the strength of emotions, and the middle part - on the contrary, the subtlety of feelings and tenderness. A small, narrow middle part of the face indicates subtle spiritual feelings, a massive one indicates will and pride, love for external manifestations and insufficiently subtle feelings. Refinement and differentiation of the inner life enlivens the middle part of the face, especially near the nose and eyes. A person with such a face has a harmonious balance between physiology and the emotional-intellectual sphere.
Activity, the desire for pleasure and the feeling of joy in life are controlled by his mental activity. He is characterized by a love of truth combined with cheerfulness and love of work. He is relaxed, but reserved, cordial, lively and sociable, but with a developed feeling
Rice. 4. The ratio of the parts of the face.
self-esteem, is not constrained and, thanks to its innate disposition, is in harmonious balance.The forehead and lower part of the face are the same size, and the middle part is slightly longer.
The long nose in this case does not disturb the harmony of the forms, and since they are quite refined, here we also see a harmonious life direction and a noble life of feelings. Such a person has a representative personality, he is distinguished by endurance and talent, and a harmonious and noble essence. The forehead is small, the middle and lower parts of the face are large.
Such a person is impulsive and rude, the desire to demonstrate strength and will dominates his feelings and reason. He shows courage, bravery and inquisitiveness, has aggressiveness and great power of persuasion, is prone to reckless use of energy, is able to neglect even pleasures, and is very demanding of himself.The forehead and middle part of the face are long, the lower part of the face short.
Such a person, through willpower, sharp and cold intellect, achieves more than his physical abilities allow. He is stubborn, does not recognize “tenderness”, is a leaf, strict, pedantic. Along with outstanding abilities, he exhibits negative tendencies.The lower part of the face is long, the middle part is somewhat shorter, the forehead is even shorter.
6. A full, soft and large lower part of the face indicates a thirst for pleasure. All mental and mental activity of such a person is focused on this.
7. He is practical and down-to-earth, not prone to changing places, and conservative in his views. He has no emotional or spiritual highs. It is difficult to stir him up, but if he succeeds, it is just as difficult to stop him. The mind and sensual instincts of this person are strong and spent unbridled. He is aggressive, arrogant and full of inner restlessness, has penetrating power, is quick-tempered, and internally anarchic. The mental life is active, but there is no discipline and patience in work. Possessing a high intellect, he likes to “insert hairpins”, raises problems and makes sharp criticisms, but he himself cannot eliminate shortcomings and create something better, but he is rich in ideas, which gives him a certain brilliance.
8. The lower and middle parts of the face are small, the forehead is high. These are the proportions. characterize a person's thoughts and feelings. His activity and thirst for pleasure lag behind. He is simple and modest, has intuition, is tender in his feelings, prone to self-denial and selflessness, sacrifice, and is true to his ideal.
9. This person combines mental depth with honesty. The forehead is longer than the nose, and the nose is longer than the lower jaw.
Such proportions characterize a person with a high spirit, who intelligently regulates the life of feelings, masters instincts and at the same time serves high life ideals. Profiles 1, 2, 8 and 9 4 characteristic of creative natures, faithful to life's ideals. They guarantee ideal life progress and happy development. Profiles 3 and 5 are characteristic of elementary personalities, strong in activity, as well as in peace and pleasure. They focus on real life and feel good in it.
Profile b occupies an intermediate position between the two named groups. Profiles
and 7 belong to intellectually gifted people, but “problematic” in character and in general acting rather negatively (due to their hardness and critical nature).
Large eyes usually indicate a sensitive soul, often courage and even a desire for leadership. Small eyes often belong to closed, sometimes complacent and stubborn people. Often such people are distinguished by amazing constancy. A wide iris is a sign of softness and calmness, a narrow one indicates an imbalance in internal processes, which adversely affects relationships with others. The color of the iris can be used to judge the presence or absence of vitality: black, brown and green - energy, blue - sensitivity, light brown - shyness.
The placement of the eyes also speaks volumes: both eyes on the same horizontal line is a favorable sign; eyes slanted downwards - men have decisiveness, women have unreasonableness; if the upper eyelid is slightly drooping, this is a sign of maturity; if it is severely drooping, in men it means depleted energy. The unpleasant color of a drooping eyelid indicates physiological abnormalities; a swollen lower eyelid is a sign of a hectic life; too sagging lower eyelid indicates uncontrollability of desires; swollen eyelids (upper and lower) - fatigue from life. If the outer corners of the eyes are buried in a network of diverging wrinkles, this is a sign of insight.
The Japanese distinguish between eye types this way. Large, with a lively sparkle - the eyes of a dragon. A person in power is endowed with such eyes. The elongated shape of the eyes with upturned rims are the eyes of a sphinx, a refined nature. Large eyes with numerous folds on the eyelids are the eyes of a lion; leaders are endowed with them. Elephants have narrow, elongated eyes with double or triple eyelids; they are usually characteristic of obese people who are calm in character.
Round, with a yellowish sheen - the eyes of a tiger. Eastern physiognomy also pays attention to the ears.
When “reading,” faces rely on a general rule: a well-shaped ear indicates a happy childhood, shapelessness and pallor of the ears indicate the influence of unfavorable factors. Ears that are too large almost always indicate personality flaws, and ears that are too small also indicate trouble.
The ears and their position on the head are used to judge intelligence and character. Upper edge of ears: above eyebrow level - high intelligence;
at eye level - above average intelligence;
below eye level - average or even low intelligence. 5. An ear without a well-shaped lobe indicates an unbalanced personality. A long lobe means carelessness, a weak lobe means scrupulousness. People with very large lobes are considered sages in the East. If the earlobe moves forward slightly, this is soulfulness. The inner rim of the ear is an indicator of emotional experiences: if the rim is retracted - restraint, if protruded - lack of restraint.
men.
The general opinion: people with small mouths are preoccupied with the struggle for survival and are endowed with a weak character.
A thin line of closed lips indicates a scrupulous character. A person with a large mouth and downturned lips has a strong will and is difficult to influence.
A constantly twitching mouth (“horse mouth”) is a sign of neuroticism.
A small, arched mouth (the corners of the lips tend to droop) belongs to a sensitive nature. Convex, large lips are evidence of success. Symmetrical (without distortions) opening of the mouth indicates balanced emotions. If wrinkles run down to both sides of the mouth, this is a sign of a difficult life. If such wrinkles go to the corners of the lips from the wings of the nose (a mouth-nose ring is created) - this is evidence of deceit..
A mouth with one side drooping often belongs to a stubborn person. The upper lip clearly protrudes above the lower - indecision, the lower protrudes further than the upper - selfishness.
Wrinkles above the lips are a natural sign of aging. Fine wrinkles often signal poor health. Wrinkles deeply etched into the lips sometimes indicate prosperity in youth and hardship in adulthood. Now it is fashionable to talk about physiognomy, but did you know that the roots of this science go back to the ancient world? So, in Asia it was an integral part of Confucianism, and the ancient Greeks heard about it. Let us also get acquainted with the general aspects. Physiognomy - shape and color of eyes, eyelids in men and women: examples with descriptions, photos Big Eyes people, as a rule, have all the makings of a leader. There is a lot for this - courage, will, spiritual sensitivity IMPORTANT: However, keep in mind that such people are more predisposed to making short-term decisions.

As you can see, you can say quite a lot about a person without even having time to get to know him properly. If you remember the basic aspects of physiognomy, information from the interlocutor’s face will be read without much difficulty.
We judge a person by the first impression of his appearance, and the life experience we have accumulated often allows us to accurately determine character traits based on certain features of appearance. Observations of the relationship between a person’s appearance and his character laid the foundation physiognomy- a knowledge system that allows you to determine a person’s personality type and his spiritual qualities (both innate and acquired) based on an analysis of the characteristic features of his face and expression.
In a narrow sense, physiognomy - This is the expression of a person’s face and figure, determined by the very structure of the face, skull, torso, limbs, regardless of expressive movements. Facial expressions are examined by physiognomy, allowing one to draw conclusions about a person’s emotional manifestations. Also separately allocated kinesics, which studies the totality of human body movements in the process of communication, phrenology, revealing connections between the human psyche and the structure of the surface of his skull, etc.
Physiognomy interprets character based on facial features in three stages:
- Bright, special features, as a manifestation of the main specific character.
- Protruding parts telling about human capabilities.
- Symmetry and asymmetry as an expression of individual personality characteristics.
The asymmetry of the human face is associated with the uneven development of the cerebral hemispheres and structural features of the skull. The presence of asymmetry in a normal human face can be proven by creating images of the same face from two left and two right halves. The two additional portraits are absolutely symmetrical and thus differ significantly from the original.
The basic concepts of physiognomy originated in ancient times. Each culture accumulated its own observations: among the ancient Bedouins - qiyafa, among Muslims - firasat, in China - Xiangfa (Xianshu, Xianzhenshuo), etc. Physiognomy was especially revered in the East, considering it a full-fledged branch of medicine, believing that a person’s entire life path can be read from his face.
In the West, the first physiognomists were Theophrastus and Hippocrates, as well as Aristotle, who is credited with the first systematic treatise in this field - physiognomics.
In the Middle Ages, studies of physiognomy were supplemented by the observations of the philosopher John Scottai and the artist and scientist Leonardo da Vinci.
Physiognomy has not lost its importance today. Modern research confirms the connection between the internal psychological content of a person and the external features of the facial structure. Physiognomy is closely related to psychology; it helps to most fully compose a psychological portrait of a person. Below are some data from modern physiognomy:
- Eyes — mirror of the soul - they will talk about creative and spiritual qualities. Those with large eyes are sensitive and have the makings of a leader. Protruding eyes indicate slowness and laziness. Deeply sunken eyes - in angry, unfriendly people, prone to cunning and insults, physiognomy explains such negative manifestations of character by the fact that this type of eyes is destined for life failures.
- Forehead speaks about the human mind, his philosophy, ideology, ethics and ethics. Wide, high foreheads with open corners and smooth wrinkles are most often found among intellectuals and talented people. A very high forehead with a long face reveals a tough, unkind person prone to violence. A short and narrow forehead indicates a small mind and strong will, as well as hard work and homeliness.
- Chin measures grit and sexuality. If it is wide, it is a sign of a strong character (remember cartoon supermen), a weakly defined jaw indicates softness, and a heavy jaw indicates uncontrollable passions. A slightly cleft chin is characteristic of passionate people and womanizers.
- NoseWith indicates will and activity. A straight nose of moderate thickness and length is a sign of tenderness, agreeableness and hard work, with a hump - in exalted people, inclined to mental work and constant in cordial relationships. A slightly turned-up nose speaks of carelessness, natural cheerfulness and spiritual simplicity, while a nose that is too turned up speaks of courage and a tendency to take risks. A crooked nose reveals the deceit and hypocrisy of the owner.
- Mouth talks about sensuality and love, as well as the inner energy of a person. A large mouth can indicate courage or deceit, a small mouth can indicate timidity, compressed lips can indicate firmness and determination, and a slack jaw can indicate stupidity or serious health problems.
However, it is worth mentioning that all signs are finally formed by the age of forty, until this time one can only assume a person’s predisposition to certain character traits.
Physiognomy- a unique tool for analyzing facial features with deciphering a person’s individual characteristics. The ability to correctly read the internal state, character and inclinations from appearance can help in various situations of interaction in society: during the first personal acquaintance, when recruiting personnel, during important negotiations, etc.
You can practice observing characteristic features at any time and anywhere: on the bus, at work or on the street. You can start with yourself by looking in the mirror. Getting used to observing faces and associating their features with certain forms of behavior significantly improves social communication skills.
Facial physiognomy, as a science, originated in Ancient China, but to this day it is developing and is in demand all over the world. It is by looking at a person’s face that Chinese masters are confident that they can read complete information, find out their character and behavioral characteristics. Emotions and facial expressions will tell you what a person is thinking about at the moment, but, of course, only specialists can recognize and correctly interpret all the data.
Specialists in individual facial features can read not only historical information, the real inner world, temperament and character of the human personality. Physiognomy is often practiced by criminologists, psychics, and civil servants in order to recognize what kind of person is: immoral or, conversely, kind, peace-loving, polite.
According to Timati More, as one of the masters of physiognomy, a face is a reflection of a person’s past, present and future.
By the shape of the face you can learn about a person’s character, inner world and even thoughts:
We recognize character by the eyes
Eyes are a reflection of the soul and can tell about a person’s personal qualities and character traits. And here are examples:
Of no small importance is the color of the eyes, which determines the character:
- dark brown– impulsiveness;
- light brown– prudence;
- gray– a sign of curiosity;
- blue– commitment to beauty, complaisance;
- blue (as a rare color)– inconsistency, purposefulness;
- gray-blue– kindness and responsiveness in character, but excessive vulnerability of nature;
- green-eyed– loyalty, kindness, harmony in relationships;
- gray-green– energy, purposefulness.
The color of the iris reveals a person’s position in life and strength of mind.
Revealing character from other areas of the face
According to experts, few people have an ideal face shape, if you look at photos and pictures.
Character traits can be identified not only by the eyes:
- Nostrils with excessive protrusion are a sign of licentiousness, self-will, and incontinence.
- A thin lip indicates indecision in character.
- Ears can indicate a person's level of intelligence. When located above the level of the eyebrows - high intelligence, when located at eye level - average. If the ears are shapeless and pale, then this is a sign of unreliability.
- Forehead. If it is round and tall, it is a sign of pride and generosity; if it is round and large, it is courage, but prone to lies; if it is elongated, it is a sign of cruelty and tyranny.
- A wide chin means a strong-willed nature, not prone to violence or depression. Square - among people who are mercantile and fixated on material wealth; prominent with a rounded shape is characteristic of more sensitive, intelligent and at the same time cunning, resourceful people.
Physiognomy requires a long learning curve. This is a science that can reveal a person’s character based on facial features based on all factors combined.
If you look in profile
Visually, the face can be divided into 3 zones: upper, middle and lower. Each of the zones can indicate signs that, to one degree or another, reflect the emotional component.
If a person has:
- bulge, then this is a sign of irritability, difficulty concentrating on any particular object. But the person is practical, inclined to get to the essence of things;
- concavity, then we can say about profundity and restraint, but excessive isolation, gloominess. Although there is a good memory, deep and common sense.
It is difficult to meet people with balanced and proportional 3 zones on their face at once.
If well developed:
- upper zone (the area from the eyebrows to the hairline), then the person is intellectual. If there is a high forehead and an elongated middle zone, then he is noble, but arrogant;
- middle zone, then values spiritual qualities and is likely to be long-lived;
- lower zone (from the bottom of the chin to the base of the upper lip), then the person is most likely successful and prosperous.
Facial physiognomy and character are often similar. By looking at a person, you can find out what feelings, emotions, and experiences he experiences. Each area on the face can carry additional information. If you master this technique, then based on the shape of your face, eye color, outline of lips and wrinkles, it is quite possible to create a complete image, a complete visual picture of a person’s character.
