Unlock Wealth and Prosperity: Join Lao Yi for 'The Divine Mirror of Ma Yi: The Ode of the Supernatural'
In the last issue, we explored the saying "Poverty leads to lifelong toil, with rough muscles and bones," highlighting how individuals with prominent and coarse features often face more hardships. You can read more about it here. In this issue, we delve into the phrase "When the stars are lost and the features are lacking, there is no grain stored for the night, leading to a lifetime of toil." This expression implies that people whose 'stars' are lost and 'features' are lacking tend to have weak financial resources. But what exactly does it mean for the stars to be lost and the features to be lacking? Let me explain in detail below.
"Stars" refers to the eyes. When the stars are dim, it means the eyes lack spirit and vitality, and the complexion appears dull. In physiognomy, bright and clear eyes indicate a strong spirit, suggesting that such individuals are often determined and ready to face challenges. Even when confronted with setbacks, they can rise to the occasion, leading to significant accomplishments. Conversely, those with dull eyes and lackluster complexions often encounter obstacles in everything they do and lack the courage and capability to overcome difficulties, resulting in a life of struggle.
"Features" relates to specific areas of the face. The "Five Peaks and Four Rivers" in physiognomy are part of these features. The phrase "The Four Rivers should be deep and wide, and the Five Peaks must be high and prominent" refers to the eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears. Large, bright eyes suggest intelligence and boldness, enabling one to handle significant matters; wide nostrils and a full nose are seen as signs of abundant wealth; a large, rosy mouth suggests good fortune and career success; larger ears are indicative of greater blessings.
The "Peaks" refer to the forehead, right cheek, left cheek, nose, and chin. If these areas are well-defined and prominent, they suggest a broader life perspective and potential for achieving great things.
Conversely, if the Four Rivers are flat and the Five Peaks are not prominent, this indicates a lack in features. For instance, a forehead that is not full, a chin that is not well-defined, a small and pointed nose, crooked lips, uneven ears, and irregular contours all signify deficiencies in features. If there are shortcomings in these areas, it suggests a life marked by fluctuating fortune and weak financial resources, leading to instability.
Generally, the features associated with wealth are concentrated in the nostrils, nose tip, and philtrum. If these areas are not well-defined, it indicates a tendency for financial loss. Therefore, individuals with poorly shaped features in these areas should avoid gambling, speculative investments, or similar activities, as even substantial wealth may slip away.
