I feel as though my entire life has been one long quest to find out who I am. I’ve consulted psychics, had tarot card and palm readings, and read every astrological personality profile out there. Somehow, none of them gives me a good enough look at myself. The one thing I haven’t tried, oddly enough, is looking in a mirror.
Physical characteristics such as eye shape, finger lengths, and so forth can actually indicate certain personality traits, according to some forms of divination. To truly find ourselves, perhaps we should stop looking to the stars and begin the journey a little closer to home—with our faces, fingers, and feet.
The Face
According to followers of face reading, the features on our faces all say something different about us.
Eyes
One way to analyze the eyes is to figure out whether you have wide-set or narrow-set eyes. Look at the space between your eyes—can you imagine another eye fitting there? The width of that space—narrow (there is no room for another eye), wide (there is plenty of room), or balanced (another eye fits perfectly)—indicates your view of the world.
Narrow: Closed-minded, dependent on others, very focused
Wide: Open-minded, aversion to authority figures, independent
Balanced: Good judgment, a balanced perspective on situations
Eye and eyebrow shape represent your general state of mind as well.
Round or Curved Eyes and/or Eyebrows: Led by emotion, sensitive
Straight Eyes/Eyebrows: Analytical, rational
Ascending Eyes (Eyes Slanted Upward): Positive attitude, focused on goals
Descending Eyes (Eyes Slanted Downward): Tendency toward negativity, vulnerability
Nose
In Chinese face reading, the nose is related to how one deals with financial matters.
Big Nose: Could get too caught up in money
Small Nose: Shy, timid
Wide Nose: Emotional, laid-back
Thin Nose: Tightly-wound, temperamental
The tip of your nose and where it points—to the left, the right, or centered—indicates how you spend your money. If it goes toward the right, you might spend more on others than yourself. A left-leaning nose means the opposite, and one that lies in the middle allots money equally.
