The Financial Feng Shui of Your Looks


How Your Looks Affect Your Wealth
When we see attractive people it's hard not to think that their looks can't help but make the road of life smoother and easier for them. But that's not always so.
Attractive, and, yes, beautiful people can be just as prone to making dumb mistakes and poor choices as anyone else. Perhaps it's their beauty that betrays them and makes people prey upon them or they suffer from narcissism. But what really makes one beautiful - and do our looks affect our wealth?To the Chinese way of thinking that answer is yes. The Chinese developed an ancient art called face reading and have categorized eyes, noses, foreheads, even moles and pimples to be an indicator of whether we are wealthy or plagued with financial problems. The following explains some of the typical facial features and what they mean for your prosperity.Skin quality affects wealth. Your skin should have a healthy glow about it and a moist and fleshy appearance. If it's dry and flaky, you'll tend toward bad financial luck. If the face is oily, there is a tendency to lose money. Facial skin should look fresh and glowing, moist and with a hint of red color.Outward appearance attracts wealth. You needn't be a super-model to attract greater prosperity. Merely by holding your face with a pleasant and alert look, the response from others is more positive and it attracts good luck to you. Dour-looking people attract dour situations and circumstances, including financial problems. So change your luck just by planting a smile on your puss.Moles have meaning. There are many hidden meanings to moles in the Chinese view. Typically facial moles are not considered good luck, especially if they are dark or black-colored. Red moles are thought to bring good fortune, however. Moles on the forehead bring power and authority and those on the mouth bring prosperity and speaking skill. Moles on the center line of the face, nose, or cheeks bring lost opportunity and negative circumstances. Surgical removal may be necessary.Facial flaws draw problems. No one is endowed with a perfect face, but when your face has flaws, such as extremely dark circles under the eyes (which can cause problems with children) and make you look tired, it can affect people's perceptions of you - and your perception of yourself.
In the Western view, certain locations of moles can look witchy and will cause people to respond to you negatively. Many times these areas can be corrected by good skin care, clever use of make-up, or even simple plastic surgery. If you have heard comments about your looks, perhaps it's affecting your outlook on life and maybe even your pocketbook. Consider your options and determine if this is something you'd like to improve.Pimples foretell expenses. When pimples arise it seems it's at the point of something important such as a meeting or important interview, doesn't it? Pimples are thought to be indicators of expenses, however, rather than embarrassment.
When a pimple arises on the nose, it will cause a big expense within two weeks. If the pimple is on the side of the nose, then the expense is unexpected. If it's on the top, then this is a good expense such as a new car or furniture. Pimples on the forehead will give you car and travel problems.A nose for wealth. Many Chinese follow the nose for indicating your potential for wealth luck. A large nose often indicates wealth. Large nostrils that can be seen when looking straight on indicate loss of wealth. Skinny, pinched noses often mean loss of wealth, i.e., Michael Jackson.Locate your facial wealth palaces. There are two locations that indicate wealth on the face: the nose and the forehead. The forehead represents your authority and position and the nose represents your actual earnings. When the forehead and the nose are fleshy and well-proportioned, that indicates wealth. When your nose or forehead are small, bony, and thin-skinned, it indicates lack of wealth. Studies have shown that attractive people earn more. Attractive people are characterized as physically beautiful, tall, and at a healthy weight. One study estimated attractive people earned more than 10% than their plainer counterparts, indicating how much looks count. Even so, the plainest person is always made more beautiful by a vibrant, happy countenance. So put your "best face" forward - and you might change your money luck!
