In physiognomy, the mouth is often called the "financial officer" and is associated with Mercury. It acts as both the gateway to the heart and the portal for speech. As the saying goes, "illness enters through the mouth, and disaster comes out of it," suggesting a deep connection between the mouth and a person's destiny. By examining the shape, color, and texture of the mouth, we can gain insights into one's personality, genetics, health, and fortune, allowing us to deduce the potential gains and losses throughout a person's life. Today, Dr. Zheng shares insights on the physiognomy of the mouth from traditional Chinese perspectives, leading us to understand the following concepts:

It is important for a person to have good moral character; otherwise, they may be said to have a "bad mouth." The lips outline the mouth and are the entrance to the teeth, symbolizing a person's honor and disgrace. Generally, lips should be full rather than thin and should have well-defined edges rather than being tight. Lips that are red like sand signify wealth and prosperity. Ideally, lips should be thick and red, with symmetry between the upper and lower lips considered beautiful. Thin, small, retracted, defective, or pointed lips are less desirable. Individuals with thick lips are often seen as associated with wealth and longevity, though excessively thick lips may be viewed negatively. People with wide and thick lips tend to have strong personal desires, and overgenerous individuals may have excessive desires. The five key principles of a favorable mouth are:

• Well-defined edges, shaped like a bow with the string facing upward.
• Small opening for desires, large opening for opportunities.
• Upper and lower lips that complement each other, resembling a mouth holding water, and shaped like a ring.
• Color and luster that are vibrant, like red paint.
• Clearly visible and elegant lines on the lips.

In detail, this implies:

• Uplifted corners of the mouth, resembling a bow, signify a position of importance.
• A square, wide, angular mouth suggests longevity.
• A tightly closed mouth, like a pocket, indicates average financial fortune throughout life.
• A wide and thick mouth suggests freedom from worries about food and clothing.
• A spiral-shaped mouth indicates a joyful life.
• Moles at the corners of the mouth suggest abundance.
• A pointed and thin mouth indicates limited financial fortune.
• A wide mouth with a thin tongue suggests favorable romantic prospects.
• A small, short mouth suggests short-lived fortune.
• A mouth shaped like a horse's mouth is prone to attracting trouble.
• A square mouth indicates someone who travels extensively and has good fortune and romantic prospects.
• A tiger mouth, large enough to fit a fist, suggests a bright future; men likely become wealthy, and women prosper.
• A goat mouth, short and pointed with thin lips, indicates poor fortune and vulnerability to romantic difficulties.
• A crescent-shaped mouth indicates exceptional literary talent and promising career prospects.
• A cherry-shaped mouth in women suggests exceptional intelligence, eloquence, charm, and many romantic opportunities.
• A boat-shaped mouth suggests a more challenging life, relying on physical labor; men might find it hard to marry, while women may dominate their husbands.
• A carp mouth indicates stinginess and poor luck, often leading to leaving home.
• A pig mouth often signifies selfishness; they might be content with modest wealth, but their health is usually average.
• A four-character mouth indicates intelligence, versatility, and the potential for significant achievements.
• A dragon mouth, with full and even lips, is rare and typically signifies high-ranking positions and ultimate success.

The mouth also represents a person's social potential. A well-shaped mouth facilitates participation in social events and enjoyment of banquets and celebrations, conveying elegance and charm during meals. Additionally, a good sense of humor can create a warm and friendly atmosphere. Conversely, a crooked or overly thin mouth might struggle in social settings. Moreover, individuals with very small mouths often possess a strong sense of superiority, regardless of gender.

A large mouth lacking restraint can signify poverty, so it is crucial to balance openness and restraint. A large and wide mouth without control may lead to greed, lust, and insatiable desires, characteristic of gluttons. People with thin, pointed mouths resembling a parrot tend to be sharp-tongued and harsh in speech. Those with thin, flat mouths like a carp often are cold-hearted, selfish, and indifferent, leading to strained family ties and loneliness in old age. Individuals with downward-curving mouth corners that resemble a bitter melon face often are introverted, stubborn, and critical, and may experience loneliness.

Lastly, Dr. Zheng advises everyone to remember that while the mouth and lips can reveal secrets, a person's fate and fortune should be considered as a whole, as humans are complex, multifaceted beings.

If you are experiencing bad luck, it is crucial to make adjustments. Remember Dr. Zheng's words: adjustment is key, and feng shui is all around us.
