The Complete Guide to the Cheekbones in Chinese Face Reading
In Chinese face reading, the cheekbones indicate authority and pride. Most face readers regard the cheekbones as the shoulders of the face. This trait is related to the metal element, and its emotion is grief.
Large cheekbones mean that a person has abundant metal energy. This is correlated with the natural authority a person possesses. In contrast, the smaller the cheekbones, the less self-confident a person is, which may lead to potential self-esteem issues.
Cheekbones are the bone structure behind the cheeks. They can influence a person’s life from mid 40s to late 50s.
In this post, I will guide you through the meanings of the cheekbones in Chinese face reading:
1. Size
Large and Prominent Cheekbones
People with large and prominent cheekbones are authoritative and ambitious. These people are strong-willed, independent, and dynamic.
They have a lot of pride and a certain bossy quality. Usually, they want people to listen to their opinions. They don’t want to follow others’ commands.
One of their main negative traits is the high expectations for others. People with large cheekbones don’t want to settle for anything less than their perfect ideals.
Flat and Small Cheekbones
In Chinese face reading, flat and small cheekbones show a person who resists authority. In life, they may face many challenges when they try to attain leadership positions. Normally, these people are self-starters.
Not only people with flat and small cheekbones don’t have much authority, they may also have problems with their self-esteem. If these people become leaders, they may lead others by compassion and inspiration rather than power and rule.
They prefer to work alone without being bossed around. They can achieve great things in life, yet they often feel unsatisfied with what they have attained. The lesson for these people is to let go of their “bottomless desire”.
2. Position
High Cheekbones
High cheekbones belong to arrogant people. People tend to see them as troublesome as they usually invite much trouble into their lives.
This kind of cheekbones is usually located close to the eyes. Yet, if these cheekbones are too close to the eyes, it means the owner tends to cause harm to others.
It’s important to know that high cheekbones are recognized by position while prominent cheekbones are known by size. They are 2 different kinds of cheekbones. People with high cheekbones are also said to be unwilling to let others do things they believe are wrong.
Low Cheekbones
People with low cheekbones are not as arrogant as those with high cheekbones. Instead, low cheekbones indicate the willingness to follow orders.
Therefore, these people are usually obedient as they have such an easy-going nature. In Chinese face reading, men with low cheekbones tend to be dominated by their wives.
3. Shape
Angular Cheekbones
If you have angular cheekbones, you are sharp, astute, and decisive. You are a perfect candidate for a leadership position.
People with angular and sharp cheekbones can handle emergency situations very well. This could be something as small as meeting deadlines, which is what they are very proficient at.
These people are also gifted with the ability to use words precisely. Yet, they should use their sharp words to inspire instead of criticizing others.
Slanted Cheekbones
If cheekbones are slanted downward from the temple, we have a person who is very curious about learning other people’s cultures and languages. That is, these people want to make new friends, eat new food, and travel to new places in foreign countries.
Thus, people with downward-slanted cheekbones are likely to immerse themselves in cultural adventures for the sake of learning.
When the cheekbones are set close to the nose, this can indicate someone who is a great mentor with high authority.
If the cheekbones are set close to the ears, we have a strong boss who is fair and generous.
Over Protruding Cheekbones
In Chinese face reading, over-protruding cheekbones are a sign of an unyielding personality. This kind of cheekbones is the intensified version of the prominent cheekbones.
People with overly protruding cheekbones are stubborn and like to resist the status quo. With an extra arrogant personality, these people often put pressure on others. Yet, they are good at strategies and tactics.
4. Moles on Cheekbones
Generally, moles on cheekbones have similar meanings to moles on the cheek as they are located in the same place.
Moles on cheekbones or on your cheeks relate to the theme of power, authority, and diligence.
These moles can indicate you have a positive outlook on life and have enough inner power to be successful. Yet, they can also tell you are a self-centered person who needs to learn to care for others.
A mole on the left cheekbone indicates a person who extravagantly spends money on things. If the mole is on the right of the cheekbone, we have someone who is blessed with health.
