The Fate Information Revealed by the Forehead and Temples

Previously, we explored many facets of physiognomy, focusing on overall features and the face’s central regions. But the corners and edges matter too, as they are also said to hold meaningful clues about one’s fate.

For example, in matters of marriage, vertical lines on both sides of the forehead are considered highly inauspicious, hinting at a harsh disposition that could harm both partners. A hollow area beneath the forehead is also thought to foretell few or struggling descendants and little care from them in one’s later years.

Another commonly overlooked feature is the sideburns. If the hairline is very heavy and encroaches on the brow area, it is said to bring misfortune in youth and repeated family upheavals, even the early loss of parents.

With regard to ambition, the area beneath the sideburns, known as the "mingmen," if marked by a mole or blemish, suggests that the road to achieving one’s goals may be strewn with obstacles and even dangers. By contrast, a clear, bright, line-free forehead often points to an ability to turn misfortune into good fortune.

A person’s insight can also be read from the formation of the forehead’s corners. Those thought to have strong insight tend to have broad, full sides and a spirit of exploration, showing notable talent in religion and politics.
