Detailed Analysis of the Twelve Palaces: The Servants' Palace
The Servant Palace is located at the lower cheeks on both sides of the chin, an area sometimes called the “hanging walls.” In physiognomy, the area below the chin is known as the Servant Palace. It sits along the lower jaw and connects with Mercury, marked by a horizontal line extending from the area known as Chengjiang (承浆).
The Servant Palace reflects friendships and relationships with subordinates, indicating good or bad fortune. A full, rosy chin without scars or dark moles, paired with a rounded, well-defined jawline, suggests a thriving career supported by loyal subordinates. By contrast, a pointed, sunken, slanted, or narrow chin—or one marked by scars or dark moles—may signal strained relations with subordinates, limited support and loyalty, and possible misfortune in later years, even if one is otherwise successful.
