What Your Face Shape Reveals About Your Fortune

While people’s face shapes vary, they can generally be grouped into eight types. Some believe the ups and downs of a person’s life can be gleaned from their face shape. Take a look and compare:

1. "Round" Shape

Round shapes include oval and rounded-square faces. In ancient descriptions, round faces were said to have round eyes, round ears, and a round body. People with round faces often have weaker ties to their parents and may leave their hometowns. With favorable features, they may achieve wealth and status; with unfavorable features, they may need to rely on a trade to make a living. Women may follow their husbands to distant places and face another setback before age 31. Men may become indulgent after 40 and, without accumulating good deeds, risk destitution. However, if they do good and avoid excess, they can build successful careers and earn respect.

2. "Field" Shape

Also known as the square shape. Broad, solid features resemble the character for “field,” suggesting wealth and nobility. This shape is considered auspicious in youth, middle age, and old age. Those with four favorable features may have leadership talent, while those with two may attain modest wealth. Before 30, they may receive help from benefactors; but if their features are ill-defined and their speech and behavior are rough, they may struggle, feel isolated, and have distant relationships with their children.

3. "Eye" Shape

Faces resembling the character for “eye” tend to enjoy good fortune early on. Around age 20, they may leave their hometown and live carefree—or they may encounter setbacks that bring financial ruin. These individuals are often skilled and envied by others. By focusing on their craft and working diligently, they can succeed with help from elders. For women, the good times may be short-lived; family discord may arise, bringing misfortune to husband and children and ending in loneliness. Both men and women often live into their 70s.

4. "Wind" Shape

Faces that are wider at the top, narrower in the middle, and wider at the bottom resemble the character for “wind.” Their lives are often unsettled: they may leave home young and move frequently around age 20. If they meet benefactors, many can achieve success. After 40, fortunes may improve, leading to a more comfortable old age. This shape can also suggest a tendency toward greed.

5. "Shen" Shape

Faces pointed at both the top and bottom resemble the character for “Shen.” These individuals often endure hardships from a young age and experience social turmoil, yet they take their careers seriously and work hard. With three favorable features, they may gain fame and success; with all favorable features, even greater wealth. They may toil throughout life and feel lonely, and those who are blunt or coarse in speech may invite punishment. Conditions often improve after age 21, bringing career gains, but fortunes may wane after 52.

6. "You" Shape

Faces pointed at the top and wider at the bottom. Before 20, they may face loneliness and hard work, but fortunes generally improve after 20, leading to success. With help from benefactors, they may enjoy a happy, fulfilling old age. Women may experience loneliness; if they marry a good husband, they may attain wealth, though having children may be difficult.

7. "Jia" Shape

Faces that are wide at the top and pointed at the bottom resemble the character for “Jia.” Benefiting from ancestral blessings, they are respected before 26 and may gain even more admiration between 28 and 30. With favorable features, they may enjoy a prosperous old age; with unfavorable features, they may become carefree and indulgent, suffering repeated career setbacks. Fortunes may decline after 50, leading to loneliness in later years; even so, they may have children and long lives.

8. "Tong" Shape

Faces that are long, broad, and well proportioned signal high quality, suggesting wealth and prosperity, distinguished descendants, and a thriving family enterprise. Men with this face shape may enjoy auspicious fortunes throughout life. With favorable features, they may achieve fame and status; with four favorable features, great wealth—though possibly with arrogance. Around age 40, they may face disasters stirred by public discontent, leading to a fall from favor, yet they may live beyond 80.

The above are general observations about face shapes. For deeper insight, consider all features together and analyze each case individually.
