Face Reading Guide
Face reading (觀相, Gwansang) is a traditional Eastern practice of interpreting personality and fortune from facial features and expressions. Our service combines traditional physiognomy wisdom with modern image-making advice, offering practical impression improvement tips and communication suggestions based on objective facial characteristics.
Basics of Traditional Face Reading
Traditional physiognomy divides the face into three zones (Sam-jeong): the upper zone (forehead to eyebrows) represents early life fortune and wisdom, the middle zone (eyebrows to nose tip) represents mid-life fortune and willpower, and the lower zone (below the nose to chin) represents later life fortune and blessings.
The Twelve Palaces system assigns specific meanings to different facial areas: the Career Palace (forehead) for professional fortune, the Life Palace (between eyebrows) for overall destiny, the Spouse Palace (eyes) for romantic relationships, and the Wealth Palace (nose) for financial fortune. These interpretations come from centuries of accumulated observational wisdom, though they are not scientifically verified.
Five Element face typing classifies face shapes as Wood (long), Fire (triangular), Earth (square), Metal (round), and Water (flexible) to suggest basic personality tendencies.
