Eyebrow Shape and Its Influence on Fate and Fortune

Auspicious eyebrows include long brows, gathered brows, raised brows, high-set brows, longevity brows, and brows with smoothly tapered tails.

People with long, well-defined brows that extend past the eyes and are broad—together with high cheekbones and a straight nose—are said to have many accomplished siblings who are supportive and loyal to one another.

Well-shaped eyebrows are considered auspicious. Overly arched or sharply slanted brows are thought to indicate a fierce temperament, impulsiveness, and strong possessiveness.

For women, slightly curved brow tails are considered lucky, suggesting someone who values relationships and is gentle. Regardless of gender, tails that droop below the eyes are said to signal lustfulness and a focus on physical desires, which can lead to health issues. Women with gathered brows are believed to have many children, and those with a high nasal root and a broad forehead are thought more likely to bear boys. Women with “masculine” brows—overly straight, too thick, coarse, or highly raised—are seen as strong and capable.

Clearly defined brows, where each hair is visible, are called “clear eyebrows” and are associated with kindness and trustworthiness. By contrast, poorly defined “cloudy eyebrows” suggest poorer character and potential conflict with siblings; if the brows press heavily over the eyes, they point to weak parental support in youth and marital discord in midlife.

Brows that rise at the outer third are known as “raised eyebrows,” indicating someone energetic, resolute, healthy, courageous, clever, and authoritative. For women, raised eyebrows are viewed as inauspicious, suggesting jealousy, strong desires, selfishness, and ambitions typically associated with men. Forked or triangular raised brows may reflect cunning, lack of filial piety, indecision, and a tendency to scheme against others, often leading to an unfortunate end.

Broad eyebrows suggest boldness, while narrow brows imply timidity. Short tails that do not reach the eyes often signal loneliness and a lack of friends or support. High-set brows indicate courage and wisdom, but for women they may foreshadow marital difficulties.

Eyebrows with a few particularly long hairs are called “longevity eyebrows,” symbolizing long life. Ideally, these appear after age 40—especially between 43 and 52—signaling vitality and longevity. If they show up around age 30, it may imply a shorter life due to excessive expenditure of energy. Longevity hairs that grow in the upper half are more auspicious than those in the lower half; downward or backward growth is favorable, while upward growth “reaching the heavens” is unfavorable, suggesting that although the person may live long, they may face marital conflict.

Gathered eyebrows signify wealth and marital ties, while scattered brows point to financial and relational disorder. Thick brow tails suggest a smooth old age; thin tails may bring loneliness. Those with well-formed brows tend to have virtuous spouses, obedient children, and harmony with siblings. Conversely, poorly formed brows may signal little support from spouse and friends, ungrateful children, and loneliness in later years. People with faint brows and sparse hair often lead solitary lives.

Those with long, beautifully curved brows tend to be affectionate, have well-off siblings, are energetic, and enjoy longevity. However, excessively long brows can make one indecisive and slow to act.

If longevity hairs fall out, it may indicate poor health or a shortened lifespan. Losing a few hairs or a small patch of the brow suggests health issues, bad luck, or discord among siblings.

Individuals with shiny brows and fair skin tend to have good financial luck. If their facial features and overall appearance are favorable, they are likely to enjoy strong career prospects, promotions, and successful business ventures, making it easier to achieve their goals.

Clear eyebrows, a clear beard, and clear sideburns; or thick eyebrows, a thick beard, and thick sideburns. Possessing this matching “three clears” feature is said to bring longevity and prosperity throughout life.

When the color at the brow tails appears bright yellow or purple, wishes are likely to be fulfilled. If the color is dull, dark, or gray, things may not go smoothly. In choosing friends, pay attention to brow color: if the brows look pale, dark, or red, avoid forming friendships, as they may prove toxic; if the color is good, it is a favorable time to make friends. A favorable color at the inner brows indicates harmony and peace among siblings; if not, conflicts or harm may arise.

During a woman’s menstrual period or after intimate relations, the brows may appear disheveled and raised. If there are gynecological issues or abnormal discharges, the eye sockets may appear gray and moist.

Straight or sword-shaped brows indicate military authority for men and a career focus for women. Women with smooth, closely adhering brows, gathered brows, bright and moist brow color, and a clear area for marital prospects are likely to be unmarried; those with different features may be married. Women with smooth, close-set, long, elegant brows and bright eyes are intelligent and talented, likely to excel in studies and exams and gain recognition. Those with well-formed brows are the most likely to achieve fame; if their facial features are also favorable, they may attain both fame and fortune.

The above guidance is not absolute; other facial features must also be considered to judge a person’s health, reputation, sibling relationships, marriage prospects, and accumulation of wealth.
