Their appearance, fortune and misfortune:

The forehead is Mars, which must be square, and those who are square will have a golden seal (the direction belongs to the south); the nose is Saturn, which must be thick, and those who are thick will have a long life (the direction belongs to the center); the mouth is Mercury, which must be red, and those who are red will become three officials (the direction belongs to the north); the right ear is Venus, which must be white, and those who are high in the government will eventually obtain it (the direction belongs to the west); the left ear is Jupiter, which must be facing upward, and the five blessings will surround it (the direction belongs to the east). The five stars must be clear and the five stars must shine. If the five stars are clear but not shining, although they are cheap at first, they will become expensive later. If the five stars are clear but cramped, although they are expensive at first, they will become cheap in the end. "Complete Collection of Divination II" says: The metal and wood stars are the ears. It is important that they have clear outlines, and their positions are uneven in red and white, and their sizes are as wide as a bucket. It is straight, not tilted, pointed or small, usually higher than the eyebrows, and white as silver, which is very good. Such a person is born with the blessing of the two stars of gold and wood, and will surely become rich early. The body is narrow or big, or small. If the two stars of gold and wood are trapped, the person will suffer loss of land and house, money and wealth, and will have no knowledge. Saturn is 1:3, which is called Nei Xuetang. The person must have wide red lips, a deep philtrum, and be well-articulated, and he will be an official with a good salary. If the lips and teeth are not straight and there is yellow color in the middle corner, it means poverty. Mars is the cheekbone. If the forehead is broad and the hairline is deep, there will be official position, food and clothing, and four or five children. The person is knowledgeable and has noble parents. If it is the life palace and has the power of Mars, the person will have land and houses and live to be ninety-nine. If the forehead is pointed and has many lines, it means that Mars is trapped, which means you will not be rich. You will not have one or two children, and you will not be able to help when you are old. Your food and clothing will be ordinary, and you will not get help from your brothers. There is no master in the three parties, and you will suffer the loss of your wife and money. Saturn is the nose, which needs to have a thick tip, without any exposed nostrils, a long-lasting nose, a flat and straight top, and an upright and unbiased nose. The person should not have Saturn trapped, and if it enters the life well by three points, he will have good fortune, wealth and a long life. If the Saturn in the Zhongyue is not straight, the tip of the nose is pointed and exposed, and even if the tip of the nose is high, the person has the Saturn in the Zhongyue, which means he will be poor and have little property, and his character will be crooked.

The left eye is the Sun and the right eye is the Moon. The eyes should be bright and the pupils should be dark, which is related to wealth and honor. If the eyelids are dark, the body may be weak and sick. The root of the nose is the Moon, which needs to be straight and plump, and should not be broken by any lines or moles. The left eyebrow is Rahu and the right eyebrow is Ketu. The eyebrows should be long and even. The two eyebrows should not be too close, otherwise it will hurt the feelings like bullying, and the six relatives will also be harmed and implicated. The complexion should not be dark and stagnant, and it should not be greasy to prevent misfortune. The forehead is purple, which should be flat like a mirror, round and bright, symbolizing a cheerful and optimistic personality and a bright future. "Complete Collection of Divine Physiognomy II" says: The Moon and the Sun are the eyes, which should be clearly divided into black and white, long and thin, and separated into the temples. There should be more black in the eyes and less white in the eyes. Such a person should be blessed by the Yin and Yang stars at birth, and everything he does will go smoothly, and his family members will be noble. If there is less black and more white than yellow and red, the person has two trapped stars, which will cause harm to his parents, harm his wife, destroy his land and house, suffer many disasters and be short-lived. The Moon and Betel are the root of the mountain. If it is broken directly from the center of the forehead, the person will be affected by the Moon and Betel. If the root of the mountain is sunken, it means that his descendants will be unlucky, and there will be many disasters. He will not be able to study, his property will be ruined, and his children will be harmed. Luo Ji Star represents eyebrows. If the two stars are thick and black, passing the eyes and reaching the temples, this is a sign of good fortune and wealth. The children and parents will all be noble, and the relatives will also be noble. These two stars will enter the fate. If the eyebrows are connected horizontally and the red color is shorter, it means that many relatives and children will die a violent death. The purple star is the forehead. If it has no straight lines and is round like a bead, the owner must be noble. If it is white like silver, the owner will be very rich. If it is yellow, the owner will have food and clothing. If it is narrow and uneven, and has hidden lines, it is not auspicious. Two or three children will not be helpful, there will be no high salary, and the land and house will be damaged.

Among the Five Mountains, the Central Mountain should be high and majestic, and the Eastern Mountain should rise and face the sky. If they are not high and steep, they will have no momentum, and the person will be poor and lowly, and will not live long. The Central Mountain is thin and has no power, and the other four Mountains have no center. Even if they have a good appearance, they will not be rich and noble, and will not have majesty and power, and their life span will not be long, only middle age. The Southern Mountain is tilted, which means the family wealth will be destroyed. The Northern Mountain is pointed and sunken, which means the career will not be successful, and the person will never be rich. The East and West Mountains are tilted, which means they have no power, and will have a vicious heart, without any kindness. Therefore, it is best for the Five Mountains to face each other.

The four rivers must have far-reaching achievements, while the edges and margins are intact, so that one will have extraordinary talents and wealth. Specifically, the ears are like the Jiang River, and the ear canals must be deep and wide, as tight as a heavy city, which indicates intelligence and a long family business. The eyes are like the He River, and they must be large and deep, bright and brilliant, which indicates intelligence and longevity. If they are shallow, small and dim, the person will have a difficult life and a short life. Eyes that are neither too big nor too small also indicate prominence. The mouth is like the Huai River, and it must be square and wide, with lips covering each other, and there must not be a big difference in thickness, otherwise the person will die young, have no blessings in old age, and his family will go bankrupt. The nose is like the Ji River, and it must be plump, bright and round, without any damage or exposure, and the family will be rich.
