Physiognomy, also called anthroposomancy, is a way by which the characteristics or temperament of an individual are interpreted by their facial appearances.
The earliest history of this art was practiced almost 3,200 years ago in the Chou Dynasty.
Some inner feelings that get expressed and deciphered are: • A tired and drawn look indicates worry or over-stretching.
• A radiant look reflects positive mindset, good love life and progress at work.
• People avoiding eye contact are said to hide things.
The shape of one's face also says something like: • Circular: Optimist, social, ethically strong and know their emotions and feelings well.
Such people are good in business but look for support in the formative stages of their careers.
• Square: Biased towards practical things, quick in grasping concepts and business, make good leaders, and often stubborn.
• Oval: Apart from most qualities similar to the square and circular varieties, they also have strong instincts morally, good skill in business, and are pragmatic regarding success.
• Triangular: Gets easily bored, possess an analytical and questioning approach, and get uncomfortable in social networking.
Other traits based on the facial proportion of forehead, middle and lower face are: • Equal proportion: A balanced person but dull.
• Longest part being forehead: Head rules over the heart.
• Longest part being middle face: Good endurance, pragmatic approach and good common sense.
• Longest being lower part: Face difficulty in communication of emotions or feelings, calculative and cool.
Some other aspects on the face that are read are lines on the forehead, shape of the nose and nostrils, chin, ear-lobes, eyebrows, and mouth.
