According to Physiognomy, Which Men Are Considered Unlucky in Life?

1. Uneven Collapse of the Heavenly Court

This refers to the area from the eyebrows up to the hairline. When it looks uneven or irregular, with messy forehead lines and weak-looking temples, it suggests instability.

2. Sunken Hall of Impression, Interlocking Eyebrows

The Hall of Impression is the relatively flat, slightly raised spot between the eyebrows and is said to relate to luck around age twenty-eight. If it’s sunken, it can attract petty people and invite slander. If the eyebrows cover this area, it indicates blocked fortune throughout life. Eyebrows that cover the eyes are commonly known as “connected heart eyebrows.”

3. Sunken Temples

The temples sit level with the outer ear and are traditionally associated with wealth and assets—often called “land and property.” Sunken temples suggest limited career progress and difficulty accumulating wealth, leading to financial instability.

4. Thin and Angular Cheekbones

Cheekbones are the protruding bones beneath the outer corners of the eyes, extending toward the area by the middle ear. They should have substance, not appear isolated or overly sharp—especially where they near the middle ear, which should look rounded and sturdy rather than triangular. A flat or sunken look is linked to poverty and lack of resources.

5. Broken Mountain Root and Crooked Nose Bridge

The mountain root is the spot above the bridge of the nose between the inner corners of the eyes. It should look even; a “broken” mountain root is said to foretell an early death, particularly for women, and a life marked by poverty and misfortune. A crooked nose bridge is self-explanatory—a nose that isn’t straight or is bent. Women with a bumpy or curved bridge are also included in this category.

6. Dull Eyes and Sparse Eyebrows

Dull, spiritless eyes suggest a lack of vitality and insight, implying limited talent. Paired with sparse eyebrows, this points to a rough temperament and difficulty attracting wealth and good fortune.

7. Mouth Like Blowing Fire with Exposed Teeth

A mouth said to be “blowing fire” typically looks protrusive, with a longer upper lip and a shorter lower lip. Exposed teeth indicate weak inner resolve, and fortunes often decline around age sixty, suggesting setbacks later in life.

8. Crooked Heart and Pointed Nose

A “crooked heart” refers to hidden agendas; even an attractive person with such traits is considered to have a flawed appearance. Those who do wrong eventually face consequences—what goes around comes around, even if not right away. A pointed nose is often associated with insincerity and selfishness, making lasting wealth hard to keep.

9. Flat Philtrum and Leaky Nose

The philtrum is the groove in the middle of the upper lip. If it’s flat and unmarked, it suggests lifelong misfortune and potential challenges with children. A “leaky” nose indicates money that’s hard to retain, making wealth accumulation difficult. However, people with a leaky nose are generally more open-hearted and easier to get along with than those with pointed noses.

10. Insincere Words and Wandering Eyes

“Insincere words” describes saying one thing and doing another, with little truth behind the talk. “Wandering eyes” suggests poor focus and infrequent eye contact. Such traits indicate a lack of integrity and a calculating nature, making lasting wealth hard to achieve.
