Common Misconceptions About Face Reading

When it comes to physiognomy, many people have some familiarity with it, such as judging whether someone appears energetic, kind, or wealthy based on their looks. However, there are many misconceptions about physiognomy that are becoming increasingly widespread. I believe it is important to clarify some of these misunderstandings.

1. Believing that a big nose guarantees wealth

Many people think that a person's wealth can be judged by the size of their nose, but this is a misconception! If you pay attention, you'll notice that many individuals with large noses are not wealthy; in fact, some are quite poor. The nose is just one aspect of facial analysis. To accurately assess someone's wealth, you need to consider other facial features and the overall shape of the face. For example, many wealthy individuals do not have the largest noses, including some of the richest people.

2. Thinking a shiny forehead indicates a wealthy person

The belief that a shiny forehead signifies wealth is rooted in the saying, "Nine out of ten bald heads are rich." Is this really true? Certainly not. You'll find many bald individuals who are not wealthy. While it is true that some wealthy people have shiny foreheads, in physiognomy, the forehead relates to early fortune, particularly before the age of 31. Interestingly, many wealthy individuals faced significant challenges before reaching 31. So, is a shiny forehead good or bad? Objectively, it should be evaluated in conjunction with the overall face shape. For example, a shiny forehead might be favorable for someone with a wood-shaped face, while it may not be as beneficial for someone with a water-shaped face.

3. Assuming physiognomy is divided by gender: men left, women right

In palmistry, there's a common misconception that for women, only the left hand should be read, prompting questions like, "Isn't it men left, women right?" This is incorrect. If physiognomy were divided by gender, why would men have right hands and women have left hands? That would be redundant. Everything in the world has a purpose, so nothing exists without reason. The correct approach is to examine both hands for everyone, regardless of gender; one hand reflects innate destiny, while the other reflects acquired fortune. By combining both perspectives, you can achieve a more accurate and comprehensive understanding.

4. Believing that protruding ears are a bad sign

There's a belief that protruding ears signify something negative. However, many individuals born after the 1990s have protruding ears, and a lot of them belong to wealthy families. So, are protruding ears really bad? Not necessarily. They often indicate a weaker connection with parents, such as an early departure from home or studying abroad. This simply means they've traveled more extensively in their early years, and it doesn't imply anything negative. They can still lead successful lives and attain high levels of education.

5. Assuming a dark, oily face indicates bad luck

People often look down on those with a dark, oily face, assuming they must have bad luck. In reality, such individuals are often experiencing good fortune. For example, many successful business owners and professionals like judges and lawyers have this appearance. Of course, some with dark faces do have bad luck, but this typically applies to those whose faces are dark but not oily.

6. Thinking a rosy complexion means good luck

I have mentioned before that this is not necessarily a good indicator, and many people doubt me, thinking I'm just speaking nonsense. I suggest observing and comparing in real life to see if what I say holds true. People with a rosy complexion often have many worries, such as financial disputes, legal issues, conflicts with others, family problems, or marital discord.

Therefore, physiognomy should not be taken for granted or based solely on intuition. It's essential to find accurate evidence and principles. When you assert that someone is good or bad based on their appearance, what's your reasoning? What is your basis? What are the principles behind it? Understanding the principles is crucial, as it leads to understanding the phenomena.
