Use this as your fast locator + sanity-check. For each palace: Position → Themes → Common mix-ups, plus a few examples you can act on.

• Life: between the brows.
• Career: mid-forehead center.
• Marriage: outer eye corners.
• Children: under-eye band.
• Wealth: nose tip & wings.
• Health: nasal root/bridge.
• Travel: temples.
• Allies: jaw sides.
• Property: upper eyelids.
• Fortune: above the brow bends.

Life (Míng Gōng)

Where: between the eyebrows. Topics: overall momentum, decision quality. Common mix-ups: confusing it with the mid-forehead Career area.

• Examples: bright/clean → schedule key asks; angry crease after all-nighter → wait 48h.

Siblings

Where: the two eyebrows. Topics: siblings, close friends, team chemistry. Common mix-ups: judging only thickness—direction and texture matter.

• Examples: soft arc → easy rapport; sparse inner third → set boundaries.

Marriage / Spouse

Where: outer eye corners toward the temples. Topics: bond quality, timing, partnership style. Common mix-ups: reading left/right corners in isolation.

• Examples: clear + plump → plan couple projects; rough during launch → protect time.

Children

Where: under-eye zone. Topics: mentoring style, care vs. over-care. Common mix-ups: mistaking sleep/salt puffiness for “fate.”

• Examples: springy fullness → capacity to nurture; sunken/dry → don’t over-promise.

Wealth

Where: nose tip and wings. Topics: cash-flow habits, risk appetite. Common mix-ups: pore size ≠ money luck.

• Examples: full wings/clean tip → do annual rebalance; irritated tip post-bonus → 72-hour cooling rule.

Health

Where: nose bridge/root. Topics: robustness, mid-life stress points. Common mix-ups: makeup shadows as “bad lines.”

• Examples: smooth bridge → plan endurance projects; puffy root in allergy season → don’t over-interpret.

Travel / Movement

Where: temples above brow tails. Topics: moves, travel timing, adaptability. Common mix-ups: blending it with Marriage just because they’re neighbors.

• Examples: full/glossy → accept rotation; dull/tender after burnout → skip travel-heavy roles.

Allies / Assistants

Where: jawline and sides of chin. Topics: support network, late-stage stamina. Common mix-ups: “leadership indicator”—it’s more about help ecology.

• Examples: rounded/padded → green light to hire; sharp/hollow → keep scope lean.

Career

Where: mid-forehead. Topics: status, promotions, institutional fit. Common mix-ups: mixing it with the Life palace.

• Examples: open/smooth → pitch cross-org project; creased during reorg → consolidate wins.

Property

Where: upper eyelids. Topics: housing, fixed assets, sense of home. Common mix-ups: equating property with cash.

• Examples: even fullness → start buy/renovation; sunken/dry → rent & stack cash first.

Fortune & Disposition

Where: above brow bends, flanking the Career area. Topics: optimism, inner ease, tailwinds. Common mix-ups: reading only the forehead or only the chin.

• Examples: glowing pre-launch → lean into timing; dull after conflicts → schedule recovery days.

Appearance (Holistic)

Where: not one spot—read the whole (Five Peaks + Three Courts). Topics: configuration, symmetry, presence. Common mix-ups: hunting for a “magic dot.”

• Examples: full peaks + even courts → steady impression; one overpowering peak → balance via grooming/posture.

Age & Palaces: A Simple Face Timeline (Bands)

• 1–14: ears (childhood signals)
• 15–30: forehead zone (study, setup, first breaks)
• 31–34: brows (peers, siblings, first teams)
• 35–40: eye region (partnerships, mentoring)
• 41–50: nose (money engines, mid-career tests)
• 51–60: cheeks (influence, reputation)
• 61–70: mouth (communication, legacy voice)
• 71–100: jaw/chin (stability, late support)

Use bands, not single-year points. Different traditions map years slightly differently.

Moles & Palaces: Neutral Guide

Position tells a story; it’s not a switch. A mole is a life note, not “good/bad” by itself. Read context first: lighting, skin condition, makeup, fillers, sleep, season.

Then read by palace (examples):

• Life: new active mole → check decision load; log timing vs. stress.
• Marriage: dot at one corner → recurring talking point; see if it flares in crunch weeks.
• Wealth: tip-of-nose spot → impulse month? add a 72-hour rule.
• Travel: temple mole → add buffers and smarter itineraries.
• Property: upper-lid mole → housing admin; prep paperwork early.
• Allies: jawline mole → team dynamics topic; pick and coach one deputy.

Scars/lines: treat as chapter markers—ask “what changed then?” Ethics: don’t diagnose disease; don’t hard-predict fate. Use reads to adjust habits.
