The ancient people has a 10 face classifications. To make it simple, I will summarize them into 5 categories, which is also compatible with the pervasive principle in metaphysics called the Five Elements. I will not explain the principles behind the Five Elements in this text but it is suffice to know that the elements are Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.
Each of these elements has a set of characteristics. For example Metal is oval and stands for righteousness and decision making, while Wood is rectangular and is associated with kindness, growth and learning and so on.
The first shape that I am going to introduce to you is the Wood Face. This face has a strong and broad forehead that tapers all the way to the chin like and inverted triangle. Please refer to the diagram 1.1,

diagram 1.1
a tall and broad forehead indicates intelligence while a tapered and small chin indicates lower physical motive. People with such face shape tend to be deep thinkers, philosophical, have strong good analytical skills and a strong desire to acquire knowledge. Generally they do not like menial outdoor jobs. People with Wood faces are highly suited for contemplative jobs like scientist, researcher, corporate strategist, advisers etc.
One weakness of wood face people is that they are weak in cash management and have the tendency to face financial problems in old age. Take a look at yourself in the mirror. If you have a wood face, it is suggested for considering "fixed and long-term" investment such as property market
The next shape that I would like to introduce to you is the Water face. The water face is rounded, wider in the middle and rounded at both the top and bottom. Please refer to the diagram 1.2

diagram 1.2
Water is associated with intelligence, diplomacy, adaptability and relationship. They also have strong business acumen and can take advantage of opportunities that come along. Water face people are most suited to jobs that require interaction such as public relations officers, sales professionals etc. Or they can be good businessmen. One weakness of water face people is the tendency to take too long to make decisions and others may view them to be slow. Another weakness of water face people is food and we know what too much good food is not healthy.
Next is the Metal Face which is sort of oval as shown in the diagram 1.3.

diagram 1.3
Metal face people tend to have a whiter complexion. They have a sense of righteousness and justice and are very good in decision making. They are also elegant and courteous and they make natural managers or diplomats. People with metal faces are suited for positions that involve justice and decision making such as judges, management professionals, diplomats etc.

diagram 1.3
The Square or Earth shape face represents someone who is stable, reliable and trust worthy. They are down to earth and are unlikely to take unnecessary risk, instead preferring to tread the beaten and proven path. They are also doers with strong will power. Earth face people are suitable for jobs that require trust such as finance and insurance. They are also likely to end us as industrialist.
One weakness of Earth face people is the tendency to be too conservative.

diagram 1.5
Finally we have the Triangle or Fire face. As the shape implies the face is pointed at the top but with a dominant flared out chin. Fire face people are usually extroverted and have an aggressive style. They tend to be gregarious with a fun personality and are people oriented. They are suitable for jobs that require an audience where they can utilize their best qualities. They made good speakers, network marketers, presenters etc. Fire represents beauty and elegance and fire face people are also suited for show business.
One weakness of fire face people is their temper.
To make it practical, I have listed below 8 situations and demonstrate how face reading is used:
You are asked to give a sales presentation to a prospective customer
How should you structure the presentation? Should you give him a high level overview and point out the benefits of your offer or should you take more time to give a thorough rundown of your proposal? I would advise you to take a look at his forehead from the side. See if it is upright or sloped as shown in the diagram 2.1.

diagram 2.1
If he has a sloped forehead, then give him a short high level overview and get ready to answer his questions. If his forehead is upright, then you can take more time to give him a thorough rundown.
Why?
In face reading, persons with a sloped forward tend to be quick thinkers. They are quick to grasp what others have to say and prefer to see the broad picture. They dislike details and are often irritated by slow speakers. They are also likely to make decisions quickly. On the other hand, persons with upright foreheads tend to take more time to process information and actually prefer that they be delivered one step at a time. They dislike fast talkers and usually need more time to arrive at a decision. So take it slow and do not pressure them.
That is why!
Should I put John in charge of customer service?

diagram 2.2
Look into the mirror at the space between your eyes. Is the width of this space approximately equal to the width of one of your eyes? If the space is less than the width of one eye, your eyes are considered to be close set. If they are wider then you have wide set eyes. Please refer to the diagram 2.2. But what do they mean in face reading? Wide set eyes belong to someone who is more tolerant. They are often easy going and may appear to be laid back. They find it difficult to concentrate and can get distracted easily. On the other hand, close set eyes belong to someone who is less tolerant. They are very focus, dislike distraction and usually have a sense of urgency.
If you are in charged of staffing, would you get someone with close or wide set eyes for a customer services position? Of course, wide is better. The person is more tolerant and can handle multiple job requests at a time.
Assuming that everything is equal, someone with a closer set of eyes (more focused) would be better.
You and your team are to give the most important presentation of your lifetime when the designated presenter is hospitalized at the very last minute. You are the back up presenter but the last couple of weeks of preparation and late night had also taken its toll at the worst possible time. You lost your voice! Your only option given the short time frame is to select either one of two remaining team member to give the presentation. The problem is both of them are junior members of the team and may not be familiar with every aspect of the proposal and has little experience in giving presentation and certainly not at this level. One of them has a narrow face. The other has a broad face. Please refer to the diagram 2.3.

diagram 2.3
Assuming that all things are equal, who would you pick for the assignment? I would give it to the one with the broad face. Why?
A wide face person is naturally more self-confident than someone with a narrow face. By nature, a wide face person feels assured even though he may not be very knowledgeable or experienced on the subject. They often feel that they are good enough to handle any situation and often have high self-esteem. On the other hand a narrow face person is just the opposite. T hey will often appear to hesitate when faced with a challenge and may feel inadequate. They normally have lower self-esteem.
The wide face person, being naturally more self confident should be able to handle the pressure better. The narrow face person will feel stressed and this may affect his ability to do a good job. This does not mean that a narrow face person cannot do the job. If he is well verse with the subject he can be as good as anybody.
In face reading, the eyes are the window into the soul. When your staff says, "Yes boss, I am happy with the increment", does she really mean it? You have to look into the eyes again but this time look at the pupil of the eye. Is it much more dominant than the white of the eye? Please refer to the diagram 2.4.

diagram 2.4
If the iris is dominant (lots of black and little white), then the person is emotionally expressive. You do not need to have special skills to know if she is happy or unhappy with your decision. You just know. Emotionally expressive people are more open with the feelings whether it is happiness or sorrow. On the other hand if the iris is relatively small and you see a lot of white in the eyes, this person is emotionally repressive. She is very good a hiding her emotions and you will think that everything is all right until your receive the resignation letter. Even then you may not know why she is leaving! If you work with someone like this, whether a staff member, fellow manager or business partner, it makes good sense to get to know her better and ask a lot of questions.
Make extra effort to get her feedback. Encourage her to bring down the protective wall and express herself more.
You have just completed your business plan that will propel your company to unimaginable heights and all your need is your board's approval before you execute it. You think that your plan is almost perfect and you have every possible angle covered. Or do you? To play safe, you decide to let someone else review the plan first. But who should you give it to?

diagram 2.5
You have to look at the eyes again. Most people have eyes that are level meaning the inner and the outer corner are at the same level. If you look carefully you will see that some have eyes with outer corners that are set lower (down-turned) and vice-versa (up- turned). Please refer to the diagram 2.5. If I were you, I would ask the one with the down-turned eyes to review your proposal. People with such eyes have a high degree of critical perception and tend to see every little error or imperfections. They can be very hard to please. The chance of them detecting a flaw or flaws in your business plans is much higher. By the same token, it pays to study the eyes of your board members. If they have eyes with downwards slanted corners, well I wish you all the best. No, just make sure that your plan is water-tight!
It is time for your review. How do you ensure that you get the raise that you deserve? You have to look at your boss's eyebrow. Eyebrow's comes in different shapes and sizes. Some are horizontal, some slanted upwards or downwards at the outer corner, some curved, and yet other may look like an inverted comma.
What you need to do is to classify them into either straight or curved. Please refer to the diagram 2.6

diagram 2.6
If they are straight, then your boss is likely to be a fact based person. Then check his forehead (from the hairline to the eyebrows). If it is tall and broad then your boss is most likely a logical and fact based person. You better have tons of statistics and when you see him for the review. On the other hand if your boss has a curved eyebrow, he is likely to be an emotion based, people oriented person. Check the distance between the eyebrows to the upper lip. If this part is significant compare to the rest of the face then your boss is more than likely to be emotionally dominant. What do you do then? You still have to present some facts but I would suggest that you play more on his emotions. Tell him about your loyalty to the company, about the late nights that you stayed to prepare the reports, how much your child's university education is going to cost you etc. It will help more than the statistics! Here is another indicator. Look at his face from the same level. Do you see the nostrils (the holes of the nose)? If you do, you have a better chance as this imply that your boss is more generous with money. If you cannot see them then you have a tougher job ahead. It helps too if the company is doing well financially!
Do you value your life?
Here is a tip that may SAVE your life. Do you drink too much coffee or liqueur? Do you get enough sleep? Do you eat too much? Is your job overly stressful? We know that too much of the above can take a toll on our body and manifest as illnesses. But how do you know if you are exceeding the limits? The secret is in the ear. Your ear is an indicator of the condition of your kidneys as well as your immune system. In normal circumstances your ear should appear to be lighter in color than your face. This indicates that your kidneys and immune system are okay. Get you spouse, partner of friend to look at your ear. If your ear is redder than your face, this indicates that your kidney and/or immune system are overworked. When you see this you should cut down on coffee, liqueur, late nights at the karaoke and lounge! Get some rest and wait under it turns lighter again. What happens if the ears is darker that the face?
Ears that are perpetually darker than the face indicate weakness of the kidneys and/or immune system. It is a wise to pay a visit to your doctor and let him check you out!
Tips 1: Do not have a water feature in the bedroom.
Activating the presence of water leads to loss - loss of money and loss of relationships. Water features refer to paintings with river, waterfalls and lakes. They also refer to aquariums. Glasses of water by the bedside are fine.
Tips 2: Place a three legged toad in your living room near the front door for money luck.
The toad can face any direction although with him facing the front door suggests money coming in. Do not put the toad directly in front of the main door.
Tips 3: Trim your plants and trees regularly.
This is to make sure they do not get so overgrown as to cut out the precious yang energy of sunlight. When plants get too bug they create excessive yin energy.
Tips 4: Hang a cut crystal ball on one of your windows.
Choose a window that gets direct sunlight. This brings in the sunshine in the form of bright brilliant rainbow colours. This is excellent for relationship luck.
Tips 5: A Garden in full bloom.
A Garden in full bloom brings good health and lots of money luck. Make your plants grow sturdy and strong and benefit from all the precious energy created.
Tips 6: Design a water dragon in your garden
Design a water dragon in your garden to enjoy tremendous and serious wealth luck.
WATER is an important element in feng shui. It is the life force for all living beings. Without water, one will not be able to survive.
Water produces wood and this can harness wealth or "Sheng Qi", which means dynamic energy and life-force.
In feng shui, water is vital to help the occupants of a house or building to enjoy good health and good luck.
But we must choose the right location to put up a water fountain to ensure we reap the benefits of feng shui.
Anything in excess is bad and anything in lacking is ineffective.
This applies to the movement of water in any home or building.
Therefore, there must be a right amount of moving water.
Moving water can be in the form of a water fountain, large or small.
It can also be in the form of an aquarium where fishes swim about and the water pump is constantly pumping.
Most people install huge water fountains in the garden without consulting a professional feng shui master.
If by luck that they install it at the right sector, then they will enjoy good luck upon moving into their new house.
However, if it is positioned in the wrong sector, then bad luck will befall its occupants.
The effects of a wrongly positioned water fountain or aquarium would be:
Generally, the placement of water fountains and aquariums are suitable for the North, South-East and East sectors of the house.
The effectiveness of the aquarium is further enhanced by the movement of fishes, which promotes good energy and brings good luck to the occupants of the house.
Here's some useful tips for all water fountain enthusiasts.
Your manner of dress, the way you decorate the spaces around you, and the material possessions you choose are all reflections of your colour preferences and can offer a window into your personality and even foretell your future. Colours have meanings that are steeped in ancient and mystical traditions. Once you understand these meanings, you can harness the power of colours to better know yourself and improve your fortunes.
If you prefer primary colours (yellow, blue or red). You possess a strong personality and directness about you. You have strong opinions and are not afraid to share them.
If you gravitate toward colours made by mixing primary colours (for example, purple, green, orange). You have a fairly complex personality, likely possessing some characteristics of the base colours used to make your favourite colour. For example, if your favourite colour is green, you may find that some personality traits for blue and yellow ring true for you. In addition to the trails listed for green. And if your favourite colour is teal (a blue-green), you may have some of the traits for blue, yellow, and green, but will probably lean more toward the blue-green and of the spectrum.
If your favourite colour is a light tint of another colour (like lavender, pink, light blue, peach). You likely possess some of the characteristics of the base colour (that is, if you like pink, look to the traits of red), but these qualities manifest themselves in your personality in a subtler way.
If you like only one colour and tones/tints of that colour and dislike all others. You live your life in a regimented way, ruled by routine, and you resist change.
If your favourite colour changes frequently. You are a malleable and flexible individual.
What the colours you dislike say about you. Colours to which you have a visceral negative response often indicate areas of your life that you have neglected and that require attention or healing.
Learning the destiny associated with your first name is not the only way to tell your fortune. Numerology is an ancient system by which letters in your name are linked to numbers,a nd those values are added up to arrive at a final sum which can tell you more about your character.
Here's how:
1. List the letters of your name. Some people choose to use their first and last names. Some people choose to use their first, middle, and last names. Others choose to use a nickname and their last name. Use the names to which you feel most connected.

In feng shui, the kitchen is considered the financial sector of the home and any wrong positioning will have disastrous effects on the occupants. But what is the best position for a kitchen?
There are various lucky sectors for this but you should never position it in the North West sector. The kitchen comes under the Fire element while the North West sector comes under the Metal element. There will be a clash of elements if the kitchen is in the North West, as Fire can melt metal.
If your kitchen is in the North West sector, you will be likely to experience a loss of wealth. This can happen in many ways. For instance, money earned would be spent the very next day, or you are not able to enjoying any savings despite a huge salary or profit.
So what can be done if your kitchen is located in the North West sector? It is not practical or reasonable to move to another house or to renovate and relocate the kitchen.
Instead, you may consider not using the fire stove in the kitchen but a portable stove placed at another sector. Then, cover the disused stove in the North West sector with a blue towel or cloth.
By doing this, you may be able to control the outflow of wealth. Then, when your financial position improves after a period of time, you would be able to afford to think of relocating the stove or buying another house.
When buying a house, most people don't pay too much attention to the location of the kitchen but this will prove costly when they realise that the wrong location is causing a massive loss of wealth.
Also, do seek the advice of a reputable feng shui master before you renovate your house. Unfortunately, most people seek the help of feng shui masters only after they have moved in or experience problems. It is important not to overlook the importance of the kitchen in our daily lives as it is considered the financial sector of the family.
HERE'S how you can enjoy good luck:
represents the Earth element. The Earth element works well with the Fire element of the kitchen.
Dreams can be powerful predictors of your future fortunes. They can also serve as windows into the sub-conscious, giving you information that you might never figure out in your waking mind. Head the presence of the following signs and symbols in your dreams.
Airplane
To find yourself piloting an airplane is a sign of great achievement at work. If you are merely traveling by airplane in your dream, anticipate an increased income.

Alcohol, if consumed in moderation is an omen of success. If, however, alcohol is abused in your dream, it indicates forthcoming failure and embarrassment.
Audience
If you find yourself before an audience, you will be honoured for something.
Abandonment
If you have observed the abandonment of another person, expect news that will have a significant impact on your life. If you are abandoned, anticipate a major life change.
Abdomen
To dream that you have pain in your abdomen is a portent of the contrary-your success due to good health. However, to dream your abdomen is exposed is a warning that you may be betrayed by a trusted friend.
Abduction
If you are abducted in your dream, you will be successful in a new venture, be it social or professional. If someone else is abducted, anticipate surprising news.
Abundance
If you dream of have numerous possessions, save your resources for hard times to come.
Achievement
An auspicious omen. A dream of achievement indicates success and achievement in waking life.
Adoption
To dream of adopting a child incidates that a measured risk will yield significant returns.
