Face Reading Basics: The Three Zones, Five Features and Twelve Palaces

The three frameworks that actually get used in Chinese face reading — the three zones, the five features and the twelve palaces — with where each area sits and how to photograph a face so the proportions hold.

Fate Line Palm Reading: Starting Point, Path and Breaks

The fate line, also called the destiny line, runs vertically up the centre of the palm. Learn where it starts and why that matters, what breaks and bends traditionally mean, whether having no fate line is normal, and how to photograph a faint line so it actually shows.

The Five Features in Chinese Face Reading: Brows, Eyes, Nose, Mouth, Ears

In Chinese face reading the "five features" are five observation points — brows, eyes, nose, mouth and ears — each with a traditional office. Where each one sits, what tradition reads into it, why they are never read alone, and how to photograph a face properly.

Head Line Palm Reading: Length, Slope and Forks Explained

Where the head line sits on your palm, how to separate it from the life line, what a long, short, straight or sloping head line traditionally means, what a joined or separated starting point is read as, and how to read forks and breaks.

Heart Line Palm Reading: Location, Length, Forks and Markings

Find the heart line on your palm, tell it apart from the head line, and learn what its length, depth, curve, forks, chains and breaks traditionally mean — plus the three mistakes beginners make and how to photograph the line clearly.

Left Hand or Right Hand for Palm Reading? The Honest Answer

Which hand do you read in palmistry? Compare the dominant-hand rule, the left-is-inherited convention and the Chinese men-left-women-right saying, see why they contradict each other, and get a practical way to read both hands.

Life Line Palm Reading: Location, Length, Breaks Explained

Where the life line sits on your palm, how to tell it apart from the head line, what its length, depth and curve traditionally mean, what breaks and forks are read as, and why life line length says nothing about lifespan.

The Marriage Palace in Chinese Face Reading: Where It Sits and What Tradition Says

The Marriage Palace is one of the twelve palaces of Chinese face reading, occupying the small patch between the outer eye corner and the temple. Its exact location and boundaries, what the traditional texts literally say, and why it cannot tell you anything about anyone's relationships.

How to Read Your Palm: Life, Head and Heart Lines Explained

Find the three major palm lines, learn what their length, depth and curve traditionally mean, whether to read the left or right hand, plus how to photograph a palm so the creases actually show.

The mounts are the fleshy pads on your palm. Learn where all eight sit, what a raised or flat mount traditionally means, why Venus and Luna are read as a pair, and how mounts combine with the major lines.

Palm Reading vs Face Reading: What's the Difference and Which to Try

How to Photograph Your Palm and Face Clearly: Light, Angle, Mistakes

Palm and face reading only ever see one thing — your photo. This guide turns light, angle, distance and occlusion into settings you can copy, with a mistake → consequence → fix table, and separate checklists for palms and faces.

The Three Zones in Face Reading: Upper, Middle and Lower

How the three zones of Chinese face reading are measured — hairline to brow, brow to nose base, nose base to chin — what tradition maps each zone to, and why the reading is about proportion between the three rather than the size of any one.
