A Detailed Explanation of the Twelve Palaces: The Siblings Palace

The "Brothers Palace" generally refers to the eyebrow area, including the temples and forehead. Because hair growth is linked to hormone secretion, ancient physiognomy used the eyebrows to assess inherited traits from one’s parents and to infer the number of siblings. In modern times, with the implementation of birth control, this practice is no longer considered necessary. That said, eyebrows are still seen as reflecting a person's emotions and can be interpreted more broadly to include relationships with friends and colleagues, as well as emotional shifts, courage, and boldness in action. The area above the eyebrows is said to symbolize friendship and the gains and losses within it, so it is best to avoid having obvious marks or scars in this area.

If the Brothers Palace appears interrupted, it indicates that siblings may be scattered; if the eyebrows are thick and dense, it suggests harmonious, affectionate sibling ties. If the eyebrow tails extend beyond the outer corners of the eyes, it indicates having several siblings; if the eyebrows are well-shaped and crescent-like, it suggests intelligence and charm. If the eyebrows are thick and short, there may be estrangement among siblings; if the eyebrows are sparse and yellowish, it indicates many troubles; if the eyebrows are curled or grow against the grain, siblings may find it hard to achieve major success.

1. People with short eyebrows

They tend to have an unstable temperament, may appear easygoing, and find it difficult to get along smoothly with others. Sibling relationships may be weak, and even when good, each sibling may be busy with their own life. The quality of sibling relationships can be assessed as the years go by.

2. People with coarse eyebrows. Those with sparse eyebrows are not ideal friends, as they may lack loyalty to their siblings.

They are prone to conflict and have a quick temper. Messy eyebrows indicate disharmony among siblings and dissatisfaction at work, which may even lead to legal disputes.

3. People with spiral eyebrows

They tend to have the worst temper, are aggressive, and are likely to encounter legal issues.

4. People with interrupted eyebrows

Sibling relationships may face setbacks, leading to discord or unexpected accidents; be cautious about health issues affecting both siblings and oneself.

5. People with vibrant eyebrows

They are energetic and public-spirited, earning broad respect from the community.

6. People with angular eyebrows

They have a strong rebellious streak and a high sense of self-esteem.

7. People with fine, long, and delicate eyebrows

They tend to have good relationships with siblings and can support one another; they cannot bear to see their siblings suffer and will offer strong assistance. Gentle by nature, they usually avoid conflict. If their eyebrows are beautifully shaped, it suggests that all siblings can achieve success.

Notes:

• A mole above the eyebrow indicates potential financial loss; exercise caution in financial matters.
• Having abundant eyebrows suggests having many friends.
• For women, thick eyebrows with coarse lower hairs indicate insatiable desires.
• For women, sparse eyebrows with coarse lower hairs (and a lack of self-discipline) indicate greed.
• Eyebrows growing against the grain represent misfortune and should be removed immediately; one should cultivate oneself and use a hot towel on the eyebrows while washing the face to smooth them out.
• Long fine hairs on the eyebrows (also known as "color") indicate that one may face death at ages 10, 20, or 30; after 40, long fine hairs may indicate wealth and longevity.
• Thick, dense eyebrows suggest passionate love; sparse, light eyebrows indicate a subjective nature that prioritizes money and conflicts of interest, which can lead to estrangement from relatives, including husbands.
• For women, sparse eyebrows may not be significant; having a pronounced start and sparse ends—or thick at the start and sparse at the end—indicates a deeply memorable life experience, especially around ages 33–34. If the eyebrows or tails are particularly long, it suggests parental affection, filial piety toward parents, and expectations that husbands will respect their in-laws.
• People with straight eyebrows tend to have deep emotions combined with rationality, capability, and strong self-esteem.
