THE EYES THE EYES

Most importantly, look to the eyes. Prominent eyes with bright sparkle or glitter are preferable to small,

squinty or shifty eyes which reveal an introverted and secretive nature. In fact the eyes are the most

important feature in your close encounters of the business kind. In your search for that employee or partner,

look for eyes that sit firmly whilst gazing steadily. This reflects a solid and persevering nature and a person

of stability and forthright disposition. In contrast, a wandering or shifty eye portends a nature given to

If the eyes slant upwards the person is an opportunist - more so if the brows also slant in that direction (cats

eyes look). Many models like Elle McPherson and Claudia Schiffer possess these eyes. They know how to

get what they want. If the eyes are of the opposite slant i.e. slanting downwards, the person may be a little

The late Princess Dianna and Michael Jackson share a feature of the eyes. They possess floating irises also

known as sampaku. The whites are visible under the iris. This indicates an inner turbulence - a person at

odds with the world. Though spiritual in nature, they are hard to please or understand and have very high

expectations of others. Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln also shared these traits.

The whites visible above the irises may indicate some dangerous elements within the personality. An

Look at how close or widest the eyes are. Ideally, there should be at least one eye width between both eyes.

That being the case, you

That being the case, you can assume your subject has a balanced judgement and clear view can assume your subject has a balanced judgement and clear view of the world. Theof the world. The

closer set the eyes the narrower the opinion and view of the world at large. It may also reflect an

overdependence on parental and family structures. These people may need a nudge to develop their own

independent lifestyles. Their willpower should be strengthened in the search for their own self assurance.

Employees and workers displaying eyes of this type certainly need continual encouragement to grow in self

confidence. You will find these types possess little forbearance or tolerance and may crack under stress.

Trivial matters can be blown out

Trivial matters can be blown out of all proportion.of all proportion.

In contrast, the wideset eyed character is far more tolerant and broadminded in perspective. People of this

class may present a flagrant disregard for authority and advice. A delicate blend of firmness and

understanding will iron out the initial stresses between you and this type. Offer them alternative choices in

their decision making processes. In respect of career, these types need room to breathe. Give them plenty of

space to explore their creative potential. At times these types possess too broad and superficial an opinion.

Pauline Hanson is a case in point.

Deepset eyes betoken an intense, possessive, yet observant nature. When you look into the deepset eyed

creatively driven personalities possess deepset eyes. They are romantic to the core. Omar Shariff's or Val

Kilmer's eyes represent this class. This idealism is tempered after the age of 35 and surprisingly, reveals a

more than capable ability in financial matters. They are of sound judgement, compassionate and serious

minded. A philosopher's face may often also display a deepset "soul window". You will need to carefully

analyse and balance the other facial features to see whether this

or round chin will anchor this type to a more empirical lifestyle. In this case, from a commercial point of

view, the middle aged with deepset eyes may be a positive asset to you.

Besides, a roving and unsteady eye, one incapable of looking at you directly, is an attempt to mask inner

intentions. Sometimes though, the shy and discouraged will also reflect a similar eye. The look in these

cases is an important factor in discriminating between one or the other. Through practice the "look" can be

What does the look entail? Some looks are cold, others endearing, angry, weak or strong. It is the look

which can override an otherwise attractive face. Soft, enticing features will be neutralised by a stern and

unfeeling eye or a look which is hard and cruel. Always balance your judgement of character by the look in

Be watchful of people who look drunk even when they haven't had a single beer. Their eyelids sit very

heavily over the eyes. Remember, don't jump to conclusions in any of your assessments. For example, the

heavy lidded one may have had little sleep the night before. A sleepy or drunken look is one that is seen in

Periods of misfortune and despondency are also revealed in this look. Unless you prefer a casual and

uncommitted worker or relationship...next please. Cold and unflinching eyes with small pupils and sharp

eyelight may appear cruel. If the person possesses other features such as a pointed and downward turning

marked, deep and long, it augurs well for a strong and healthy energy levels and vitality. Flat, weak and

unpronounced philtrums are a mark of reduced life force and drive.

THE MOUTH THE MOUTH

The mouth is related to communication, speech and the sensual appetites like eating and sex. The lips relate

to our ability to nurture others in loving relationships. If the upper lip is considerably thinner than the lower

lip, it reveals an inability to reciprocate in relationships. Conversely, a thinner lower lip indicates an overly

giving nature.
