Classic Chinese Face Reading
12 Houses
22 March 2006.
Face
Reading (physiognomy) provides
handy insights into your hidden personality,
past history, current situation and future
development. Your face is like your autobiography that is open to
everyone to read. In short, your face reveals
your fate.
Classic
Chinese Face Reading originally derived from
Daoist philosophy, and the oldest
Chinese writing on this topic is commonly
credited to Mr. Guiguzi (Ghost Valley
Scholar: 481-221 BC), whose work is still in
print to this very day.
Traditionally,
Face Reading to Chinese was a lot more than
merely another way of fortune telling. When
Chinese medicine is concerned, it is as
relevant today as it was in ancient China,
frequently used to help build patient’s mental and physical
profiles to aid diagnosis and treatment.
There
are numerous ways to read a face in Chinese
physiognomy: 3 Quarters, 8 Trigrams, 108
Spots, examining the shapes, the colours, the
wrinkles and the moles, just to name a few. A
master of face reader usually employs the
combination of several techniques to gain
multiple perspectives and perform
cross-examination.
Following
is a brief introduction to the 12 Houses method.

1,
Fortune
House (Fude Gong)
It gives an overview
of your general fortune trend. An ideal
Fortune House should be round, full and
smooth with no visible marks, lines or scars.
Flaws in these areas reflect problems in your
life, which can be in the form of bad health,
distressful relationships or money troubles.

2, Parents
House (Fumu
Gong)
It is associated with
Heaven Luck, in this regard its state is
quite a testimony to the situation that your
parents were in and your relationship with
them.
A forehead that is
wide, round and shinning speaks of a good
family inheritance, a comfortable upbringing
and early achievement, while a small, bony or
disfigured one illustrates an uneasy
childhood.

3, Career House (Guanlu
Gong)
Again, being broad,
round and smooth is the basic criteria to
identify a good Career House.
If on the top of that,
you also have prominent cheekbones and
protruding eyebrows, you shall have a great
chance to achieve a great success in your
chosen field.

4, House of Travel (Qianyi
Gong)
If it is in any way
disfigured with scars or deep lines, you
might be better off saying put. Furthermore,
jobs or businesses involving transportation,
tourism or import/export are, understandably,
not your best choice.

5, Life
House (Ming Gong)
The key to your
fortune is deposited here.
Naturally, being
smooth and shinny is ideal, which suggests a
trouble-free life journey. If it is receded,
dimpled or scared; or there are permanent
horizontal lines between the brows; or
eyebrows meet in the middle, you may face a
bumping road ahead.

6, House of Siblings
(Xiongdi Gong)
It is represented by
eyebrows and the areas directly above them,
and it also oversees your relationship with
your friends and colleagues.
The state of your
hair has a direct connection to the physical
conditions of your parents at the time when
you were conceived, which means it has a lot
to do with your genetic make-ups. Brows that
are dark, thick, long, smooth, orderly and
located high above eyes indicate a healthy
hormone level that gives rise to affection,
calmness and courage. If they look sparse,
thin, pale, short, or chaotic, or too close
to eyes, or marked with a scar, you could be
tormented by your own physical or emotional
states.

7, Assets House (Tianzhai
Gong)
Your eyes betray your
intelligence and temperament, and the very
quality of these dispositions plays important
role in your asset acquisition endeavour.
Good Asset Houses are
constituted with eyes that are long with
large pupils and clear whites, and up-eyelids
that are broad and full. Deep-set or dazed
eyes disclose dumbness, while recessed or
narrow eyelids exhibit impatience. If the
whites are coloured with red streaks, and
worse, if the streaks pass through a pupil,
you should brave yourself for a severe storm
when your financial aspect is concerned.

8, House of Marriage
(Qiqie Gong)
Being full and smooth
in appearance indicates a happy marriage. A
receded House however rings alarm bell on
extra marital affairs. If the area bears
visible spots, scars, black moles or messy
lines, your marriage could be in serious
trouble due to some unscrupulous conduct.

9, House of Children
(Ernu Gong)
This area is closely
related to cerebellum and also governs your
love and sex life, so again, being full and
round is better than being flat or receded.
Dim moles or slant lines across the area are
especially undesirable, suggesting some
problems regarding your own sex life or your
children’s future development.

10, Health
House (Jie
Going)
If the House is
broken or marked with horizontal lines, or if
it is stained with spots, marks or
discolouration, you shall pay extra attention
to your health, especially your digester
system.

Diagram
11, Wealth
House (Caibo
Gong)
A nose that has high
and straight bridge, big and round tip, full
and fleshy wings, and invisible nostrils, not
only indicates sound physical health, a
positive mental attitude, also denotes
success in career and abundance in wealth.
On the other hand, a
nose that is low, or crooked, pointed, or
narrow, bony, or with contoured bridge,
upturned tip, visible nostrils, reveal a
problematic personality, a troublesome
financial situation or a difficult career
path. If blood vassals are clearly visible,
or a dim blue colour tones the surface, an
illness or a money loss is on the way. When a
nose turns bloody red, which is dubbed Fire
in Lounge in Chinese
physiognomy, it should be viewed as a serious
warning sign - an impending disaster is near.

12, Popularity
House (Nupu Going)
This House rules your
relationship with your colleagues,
subordinates or younger generations, and
foretells your situation in your old age.
When they are round
and full, you can expect to enjoy your
popularity among your followers. But if it
sharps off, or appears crooked or bony, you
probably should forget your dream about being
a politician. And what’s more, you’d
better prepare for self-support during old
age.

Marks,
spots, scars on, and even shapes of your face
can change over time, meaning your fate can
alter through the years.
You
can utilise your Man Power
(your attitudes - good deeds, better
learning and hard work) and the Earth
Power (your
environment - favourable Feng
Shui) to neutralise the
Heaven Power (your
time of birth - what you have inherited from
your parents and your previous lives).
Ultimately,
you are the real creator of your own fate.
When you change your heart, you change your
face; when you change your face, you change
your fate.
