If a straight horizontal line is drawn from the corner of the eye

towards the ear, it should just touch the ear's upper portion. If
the ear is located above the straight line, it denotes the person
is of refined nature.

criminal tendencies.

the head and ear, the person depends on inner self to gain
success.

who expects exactness in every work.

affectionate type. Grey represents good intellect and
imagination. Green eyes denote an inventive and adaptable
nature. Black eyes provide passion and tenderness.

accomplishments. If short nose is found, we will have a free

A narrow, pointed or weak chin represents less energy and drive.
They face problems in old age. A broad, round chin is symbolic
of generosity and good humour. A broad and square shaped chin
makes the person work hard. It is a mark of steadiness.

Jaw

A strong and deep jaw line just below the ear lobe represents
the person has good will power and energy. Weak jaw indicates
flexibility.

When the soul creates its body in the mother's womb, and slowly limb by limb is formed, the interactions of
previous birth's instincts with the soul lead to alterations in the outer body. So by observing the outer body, we
can estimate the inner self of the person. This is the root idea of Physiognomy.
