Viewing Fortune Through a Woman's Eyes

Eyes are said to be the windows to the soul and, in physiognomy, are believed to be in harmony with the cosmos. They carry special significance. For women, different eye shapes are thought to reflect different fortunes.

1. "Women with Big Eyes"

For women, having big eyes is seen as a sign of happiness, adding to their charm. They often have a strong artistic sensibility and a good sense of rhythm. Their personalities tend to be lively, and they wear their emotions on their sleeves rather than hiding their feelings. In love, they are open and rarely shy or hesitant. As long as a man expresses genuine feelings, they are likely to fall in love quickly. In general, women with big eyes are easy to get along with.

2. "Women with Strabismus Are Highly Sensual"

Women with slightly crossed eyes are emotionally rich and prone to impulsiveness. Because the eyes are misaligned, their gaze can appear unfocused, which is said to reduce restlessness. In physiognomy, strabismus is categorized into two types: upward and downward. Upward strabismus is considered a good sign, bringing joy to men, harmonious living, and lasting love; downward strabismus, however, is said to indicate family disharmony.

3. "Women with Sunken Eyelids Have Strong Desires"

This eye shape suggests women may be high-strung and suspicious, often wanting to handle everything themselves. Women with such eyes are said to have stronger sexual desires.

4. "Women with Blue-Tinged Sclera Are Underdeveloped"

These eyes may look beautiful and convey brightness and purity, but they are said to indicate immaturity in women. If a woman over the age of 20 has a bluish or greenish tint to the sclera, it suggests poor health and underdevelopment, along with a tendency toward neurosis. They may fear intimacy and find it difficult to meet sexual demands.

5. "Women with Large Pupils Are Emotionally Rich"

Women with large pupils are emotionally expressive and often act impulsively without careful planning. They may act on a whim and back down quickly when facing difficulties. However, this tendency can be changed.

6. "Tear Duct Moles Determine a Woman's Future"

Many physiognomists believe that women with moles at the inner corners of their eyes (the tear ducts) often have moles on their breasts as well. Those with moles in the tear duct area are said to worry and toil for their children, regardless of gender. A mole near the left eye indicates worries about sons, while a mole near the right eye suggests concerns about daughters, marital difficulties, or health issues.

7. "Women with Downturned Crow's Feet Are Gentle"

The wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes, known as crow's feet, can angle upward or downward, and the direction is said to matter. Those with downturned crow's feet, regardless of gender, tend to be introverted, passive, or negative, preferring a non-confrontational approach—though they are not entirely without ambition. If a man's crow's feet are excessively downturned, it can be unfavorable, leading to indecisiveness and slow reactions. For women, slightly downturned or straight crow's feet are considered preferable, indicating a gentle nature, good cooperation with their husbands, and diligence with household chores. In the workplace, women with this eye shape are likely to be favored by superiors and may seek to please them.

8. "Women with Upturned Crow's Feet Are Likely to Make Enemies"

Women with upturned crow's feet are seen as strong-willed, enthusiastic about their work, competitive, and proud. They may be prone to jealousy, tend to control their husbands, and resist being controlled themselves. Such women may find it hard to get along with others and easily make enemies. If the crow's feet sit higher than the bridge of the nose, it is said to foretell a lonely old age; to change this fate, it is best to avoid self-promotion and practice humility.

9. "Women with Centrally Positioned Pupils Are Loyal in Love"

Women with this eye shape tend to have gentle personalities, are deferential to their husbands, and are unlikely to overstep boundaries. They may be more susceptible to deception and worry about their children. They are likely to be loyal to their husbands. For men, while gentleness is appealing, excessive weakness or a lack of individuality is not; cultivating independence is essential.

Dr. Zheng concludes: Nothing is purely mechanical or purely idealistic; true understanding comes from a dialectical unity that requires comprehensive analysis.
