Facial Features and Their Influence on Luck and Health

According to physiognomy, when one’s fortune is strong, the body—bones and blood—tends to be robust. But as fortune declines, problems inevitably appear in the corresponding organs. From the perspective of the body’s five energies, the vitality of the internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine and the energy of fortune are essentially one and the same.

1. The ears correspond to the kidneys, and the eyes to the liver. When kidney energy declines, the ears may look yellow or dark; when liver energy is stagnant, the eyes may appear yellowed and dull. If these two signs show up, your career is likely to hit a bottleneck, and your momentum for advancement will be lost. If you don’t understand how to retreat in order to advance, you may end up with nothing.

2. The eyebrows reflect liver blood. If white hairs appear in the eyebrows at a young age, it indicates declining liver energy, often due to overexertion and insufficient rest. Not only will your fortune be hard to improve for a year or two, but it may also lead to serious illness and shorten your lifespan.

3. The nose corresponds to the lungs. If the nostrils appear black, it may indicate some form of poisoning. If the sides of the nose also turn black, a major disaster is likely within three months.

4. The mouth corresponds to the spleen. If the area around the mouth turns bluish or black, it points to an imbalance in the spleen, leading to continual troubles and odd occurrences that may bother you daily—sometimes even making you feel haunted.

5. The tongue corresponds to the heart. A tongue that is flat, broad, and slightly curled indicates a heart that is sensitive and clear—commonly referred to as cleverness. If the tip of the tongue appears sharply pointed, it suggests a heart inclined toward malice, capable of harming others invisibly. If the tongue appears blue or white, it indicates exhaustion of heart energy; if it isn’t a grave illness, you may need to put your affairs in order soon.
