While it's often said that someone might have a "sharp tongue but a soft heart," meaning they speak harshly but are kind at heart, there are actually several variations of this trait. Some people have both sharp tongues and hearts, while others are soft-tongued and soft-hearted.

How does the field of physiognomy interpret these traits?

• Sharp-tongued: This term describes people who speak bluntly. Generally, individuals with thin lips are seen as more emotionally reserved and less likely to censor their words. Those with especially pointed lips, or "thunderous mouths," are often viewed as classic examples of sharp-tongued individuals.
• Soft-hearted: This term refers to those who are kind and empathetic, easily moved by the plight of others, and genuinely caring. Soft-hearted individuals, particularly girls, are known for their deep empathy and tenderness.

• People with this trait often have thin lips. Although many women claim they have thin lips, true thin-lipped individuals have lips that form almost a straight line, particularly at the corners. Identifying someone as "soft-hearted" involves examining their eyebrows and eyes.
• For those with thin lips, it is crucial that their eyes are not "triangular." When a thin-lipped individual has round eyes and a wide "Tianzhai Palace" (the space between the eyebrows and eyes), they are likely to speak harshly at times but have a genuinely kind heart.
• The Tianzhai Palace, located between the eyebrows and eyes, is often mistakenly associated with a person's openness and generosity, as well as the expansiveness of their "Tianzhai" (land) and "Futian" (blessings).

The three major zodiac signs known for being "sharp-tongued, soft-hearted."

1. Dog

Those born in the Year of the Dog are compassionate and value justice. They speak candidly, which can sometimes hurt others due to their direct approach. However, once you get to know them, you’ll discover their genuinely kind nature.

2. Tiger

Tigers may seem tough, but this exterior often masks a fear of failure. They are loyal, responsible, and kind-hearted—traits that make them trustworthy. When you need their help, they respond swiftly and selflessly.

3. Snake

Snakes can be unpredictable, alternating between warmth and indifference. They may take your care for granted, particularly if they become accustomed to your closeness.

【2. "Sharp-tongued, sharp-hearted"】

This group is not excessively harsh, but their direct nature and lack of guile make them appear unfriendly and somewhat petty. Though they might be unpopular, they are generally not harmful. Typically, they feature thin lips, a thunderous mouth, and either heavy or sharply angled eyebrows.

Those with prominent eyebrows aren't necessarily malevolent, but they can be overly stubborn and inflexible, leading to repeated failures and limited good fortune. The combination of "heavy eyebrows" and "thin lips" can result in psychological rigidity, causing individuals to be harsh and impulsively hurtful.

Moreover, the combination of "thin lips" with "triangular eyes" or "standard willow-leaf eyebrows," especially in women, can be particularly harsh. Such individuals often struggle socially, as their apparent harshness keeps them at a distance from others, posing little threat.

【3. "Soft-tongued, soft-hearted"】

This type is more prevalent among girls, who tend to be naive and endearing. Enjoying dramas and being largely harmless, these individuals usually have thick, rounded lips, a broad Tianzhai Palace, and slightly thick eyebrows. They're not harsh speakers and often lack social adeptness, coming across as naturally innocent and charming.

【4. "Soft-tongued, sharp-hearted"】

This group is particularly formidable, as they conceal their true nature well. With generally soft, equally thick lips that close tightly, in conjunction with heavy eyebrows and distinct peaks, they can be especially intimidating. They may also possess "white eyes" (a specific eye shape).

These individuals are not expressive or fond of talking, and they avoid discussing others. However, they keep emotions bottled up, which can lead to severe outbursts. They often appear dull and quiet, seeming honest, but a close observation reveals they might be harboring secrets or peculiarities.
