What Your Jaw Reveals About Your Fortune in Later Life

In traditional physiognomy, the jawline is thought to reflect a person's fortunes in later life. It suggests that the quality of one's old age corresponds to how they conduct themselves when young.

• Those with a rounded jawline are generally seen as kind-hearted. However, if excess fat creates a double chin, it is traditionally taken as a sign of overindulgence and weaker intellect, suggesting they may not excel in scholarly or mentally demanding work.
• People with a sharp jawline are said to face challenges in love. They tend to be more rational and may come across as aloof, which can lead to a solitary life. That said, they’re often credited with strong intellect and artistic talent.
• Individuals with an inwardly curved jawline are considered emotionally rich and highly resilient. They readily appreciate others’ kindness, so they have few enemies and a particularly strong social network.
• Those with a short jawline are said to risk loneliness and hardship in old age, with limited luck regarding children and scarce affection. Therefore, they are advised to plan early for a more solitary later life.
• People whose square jawline comes from prominent cheekbones are described as strong-willed and stubborn. They are persistent in their endeavors and can be domineering, which may strain relationships with others.
• Those with slightly larger cheekbones but a somewhat rounded jawline are strong-willed yet capable of compromise when necessary, resulting in fewer conflicts with others.
• Individuals with extremely protruding cheekbones, visible even from behind, are said to have a jawline traditionally labeled "thief's head." They are often seen as greedy, quick-tempered, and power-hungry, and are thought to be prone to ingratitude and disloyalty.
