What Do Wealthy People Without Money Look Like? Lao Yi Guides You Through 'The Divine Mirror of Ma Yi: Extraordinary Oddities'
In our previous discussion, we explored the idea that "when the stars fall and the position suffers losses, with no overnight grain storage, there comes a lifetime of toil," emphasizing that those with fallen stars and unfavorable positions often face financial challenges (click here). In this issue, we'll continue with the theme "when the three lights are bright, wealth comes from heaven; when the six palaces are strong, one lives a life of abundance," as we examine the characteristics of individuals with substantial financial resources.
When considering aspects related to wealth, many people's initial instinct is to assess the nose, examining whether the tip is fleshy and the nostrils are full. While this is one method, there are additional areas and criteria that can help in making a more comprehensive assessment. Let's delve into these aspects further.
"When the three lights are bright, wealth comes from heaven"
In the study of physiognomy, the two wealth halls and the nose tip are collectively known as the "three lights." The wealth hall, or fortune palace, is situated above and to the side of the eyebrows, representing a person's wealth and blessings. The nose tip, referred to as the wealth star in physiognomy, signifies the amount of wealth a person holds. The appearance of the nose tip and the wealth hall can predict one's fortune and financial success.
If the wealth hall and nose tip are bright, clear, and golden in hue, it signifies smooth fortunes and support from benefactors, as well as unexpected financial windfalls or even the possibility of sudden wealth. It is essential during this time for individuals to demonstrate keen insight and take decisive action to capture opportunities and gain prosperity.
Conversely, if the wealth hall appears dark, it suggests a period of setbacks and challenges, making it difficult to achieve success. A dull, dirty-looking nose tip may indicate hard work without significant financial reward. In such times, it is important to maintain a positive attitude and not succumb to pessimism, as it would only impede progress.
"When the six palaces are strong, one lives a life of abundance"
In the overall practice of face reading, the face is divided into three sections and six palaces. While we have previously covered the three sections, we will now focus on the six palaces. The "six palaces" comprise the two forehead corners, two cheekbones, and two jawlines. The two forehead corners represent the heavenly palace, part of the upper section, indicating fortunes in youth; the cheekbones represent the human palace, in the middle section, indicating fortunes in middle age; and the jawlines represent the earthly palace, part of the lower section, indicating fortunes in old age.
The phrase "one palace brings ten years of wealth" implies that if a person's forehead corners are full and not sunken, it suggests a favorable family background in youth, with support from elders leading to early success. Full and prominent cheekbones indicate a prosperous middle age; full and robust jawlines suggest a carefree old age, allowing enjoyment of later years. If all six palaces are full and prominent, resembling six bulging money bags, it signifies a life filled with fortune, leading to wealth or prestige. Conversely, if the six palaces are thin and sunken, lacking vitality, it suggests a lifetime of hard work with modest financial rewards and a challenging old age.
Though both proverbs relate to wealth, they highlight different aspects: the former emphasizes unexpected gains, while the latter focuses on steady income. Ultimately, facial features do not determine fate. If there are shortcomings in the three lights or six palaces, instead of feeling discouraged, it's better to recognize these through physiognomy and strive for self-improvement. If the three lights are bright or the six palaces are strong, but one fails to seize life's opportunities or indulges in luxury and pleasure, wealth will be fleeting. Ultimately, the quality of life and the wealth accumulated are more reliant on personal effort and change. Have you observed your own three lights and six palaces?
