Can Your Nose Predict Your Financial Fortune?

The nose, situated at the center of the face, is the most prominent feature and plays a major role in one’s appearance. In physiognomy, it’s called the “Palace of Wealth,” said to reflect a person’s ability to live well. The “Palace of Wealth” has four parts: the bridge (earning ability), the tip (amount of wealth), the nostrils (financial management), and the wings of the nose (attitude toward spending). It occupies the key central position among the face’s three zones. A person’s fortune—especially after middle age—is often read from the characteristics of the nose. Its importance is therefore comparable to that of the eyebrows and eyes.

Below are several common nose shapes; see which, if any, you identify with.

• If the nostrils are neither upturned nor exposed, and the wings of the nose are well-proportioned, this person is likely to be wealthy.
• A smooth, full nose indicates the person is likely to be prosperous and live a long life.
• A dark, bony-looking nose suggests the person may be of low status and have a short life.
• A straight, lustrous nose indicates the person is likely to be well-off.
• A prominent bridge that blends smoothly into the forehead suggests the person can be relied upon.
• A sharp, thin nose often belongs to a cunning person.
• A flat bridge with small nostrils indicates a life of poverty and frequent troubles.
• A nose with many dark spots suggests ongoing financial difficulties.
• A long nose is associated with longevity.
• A hooked nose with a sharp tip indicates a person who is very meticulous.
• Large nostrils suggest a tendency to lose money easily.
• An upturned nose that exposes the nostrils is prone to financial loss.
• A full nose tip indicates good interpersonal relationships.
• A rounded nose bridge that connects to the glabella (the area between the eyebrows) may lead to romantic entanglements.
• A crooked nose may bring misfortune to one’s parents.
• A low nose bridge typically indicates poor financial luck.
• A mole on the nose tip may lead to romantic troubles.
• A mole on the nose wings can affect one’s career and lead to fewer windfalls.
• Visible nose hair is seen as a sign of potential financial loss and should be trimmed.
• A rounded nose tip indicates a person with stable financial luck.
• Distinct nose wings suggest a person with good luck in windfall wealth.
• A left-bent nose bridge may lead to speculative business ventures.
• A right-bent nose bridge often indicates a miserly person.
• Full, outward-flaring nose wings suggest good financial management skills.
• Dark brown or reddish streaks on the nose wings indicate potential financial loss or health issues.
• Small, hidden nostrils may lead to status and fame, but little financial luck.
• Slightly exposed nostrils on a large nose often indicate that the person will ultimately succeed.
• Large yet concealable nostrils indicate a straightforward, easygoing personality.
• An upturned nose suggests that money comes and goes.
• A pig-like nose is a sign of thrift; it can attract wealth but may bring harm to partners.

From the above, it’s clear that an ideal nose should be straight, full, and free of moles or scars. Bigger isn’t necessarily better; the nose should also be in proportion to the face. If the proportions are off—for example, a small face with a large nose—it suggests poor adaptability and tolerance.

Additionally, the nose is said to govern a person’s financial luck and career prospects between the ages of 41 and 50. If you’re unhappy with your nose’s appearance, you might consider cosmetic surgery or makeup to enhance it. This may shift one’s fortune to some extent, but the rest still relies on personal effort. As the saying goes, “You reap what you sow”; relying on the nose alone isn’t enough.
