Facial Features and Complexion: Are They Lucky for You?
Understanding the concept of complexion isn't straightforward. For example, red doesn't always signify good luck, and black doesn't necessarily mean bad luck. The challenge is determining which complexion is favorable at any given time. By analyzing the five elements associated with the upper, middle, and lower parts of the face, we can broadly categorize a person's life into three stages. By aligning these stages with corresponding complexions, we can evaluate whether a person is experiencing good or bad luck. For instance, here are some observations that can be applied in real life.
(1) Childhood: Ages 1 to 14 - Focus on the ears; red is best, followed by white and blue.
Luck during childhood generally spans the ages of 1 to 14, preceding the onset of forehead-related luck. This is observed in the ear area, correlating with the middle part of the five elements. The middle part represents earth, and since fire produces earth, red is deemed the most auspicious color. For example, if a child's ears are red or appear vibrant and healthy, it indicates good fortune in academics, parental prosperity, and positive happenings at home. Furthermore, since earth produces metal, white ears suggest good luck during childhood, notable intelligence, and some recognition. Additionally, since wood disperses earth, blue ears indicate good academic performance but may also suggest minor issues.
(2) Youth: Ages 15 to 30 - Focus on the forehead; bright, red, and yellow are optimal.
Luck during youth centers around the forehead. If the forehead is bright, shiny, red, or yellow in this period, it signifies good fortune, indicating early success, high academic achievement, and a likelihood of standing out. They may encounter supporters or receive aid when needed, leading to numerous opportunities. Black, the color of water, excessively restrains fire, representing poor signs such as familial issues, significant early-life pressure, work instability, and financial fluctuations.
(3) Middle Age: Ages 31 to 60 - Observe the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and cheekbones; yellow and white are optimal.
In middle age, luck begins with the eyebrows at age 31, moving down through the eyes, nose, cheekbones, and philtrum, relating to the middle part in physiognomy. Although traditionally the middle part extends to the nose tip, I personally believe middle age continues to 60, as age 61 marks the transition into old age. During middle age, complexions of the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and cheekbones should ideally be yellow or white, suggesting wealth accumulation, career advancement, many positive events, and property acquisition. Black isn't necessarily unfavorable; it might imply hidden wealth. The least favorable signs are red, bright red, and blue, which may indicate financial losses, disputes, negative relationships, health issues, and potential family troubles.
(4) Old Age: Ages 61 to 81 - Observe the mouth and chin; white and black are optimal.
This stage represents old age, corresponding to the lower facial area, linked to the water element, associated with black. Thus, even black in this area is not a bad sign and can indicate good fortune. White or bright complexions are also beneficial, symbolizing a positive old age and capable descendants. However, red should be avoided, as it may signal blood pressure issues, heart problems, and increased family conflicts.
Therefore, it's important for individuals at different ages to observe the complexion of various facial areas. By doing so and integrating the five elements of physiognomy, the benefits and drawbacks of each area, and the year's auspiciousness, numerous conclusions can be made. It's incorrect to assume that red in all areas automatically means good luck, or that black in all areas signals bad luck; such assumptions are clearly misguided.
