Eye Characteristics 2
11: If the eyes are long but not slender, the person is foolish and malicious. If the eyes are slender but not long, the person has a small capacity for tolerance, making it difficult to achieve success or become capable.
12: The eyes should be elegantly long, with a clear distinction between black and white, and the pupils should be bright, moist, and radiant. This is also known as “Phoenix Eyes,” which symbolize wealth and nobility, indicating great fortune or high status, as well as longevity.
13: The eyes should be elegantly long and properly aligned; they should also be slender, with an upward momentum at the outer corners. This is referred to as “Dan Phoenix Eyes.”
People with such eyes possess a dignified presence, value righteousness over profit, are renowned far and wide, maintain integrity in their conduct, are capable officials of high rank. If they hold military positions, they are loyal and valiant generals; if female, they are virtuous women akin to Joan of Arc.
14: The gaze should be steady and penetrating; that is to say, one’s focus must be concentrated. A focused gaze indicates determination and ambition while a scattered gaze reveals weakness. Those with a concentrated gaze have lofty aspirations and good physical condition.
The gaze should not only be focused but also radiate outward like divine light; this symbolizes longevity. If one can harmoniously engage with contemporary society while utilizing their abilities effectively, they are bound to achieve great accomplishments.
If the gaze is focused but does not project authority or charisma, it becomes stagnant like dead water in a lake—unable to flow or fulfill its potential. Even if one possesses talent and wisdom, it becomes difficult to showcase their abilities; having grand ambitions without being able to realize them leads to challenges in achieving success in their career.
15: The gaze must both project outward and draw inward; meaning that one’s eyes should emit light like sunlight illuminating all things on earth. However, excessive projection can lead to energy depletion which may not necessarily be beneficial.
Hence there must be an inward aspect—this refers to restraint and moderation rather than being overly exposed. “Outward” signifies impact and motivation; it reflects confidence, talent, and wisdom.
On the other hand, “inward” embodies approachability and trustworthiness; it represents compassion, kindness, humility, and sociability. Only by balancing these aspects can opportunities endure over time.
If one only projects outward without drawing inwardly they risk becoming reckless individuals prone to unexpected dangers. Even if they have achieved success in their careers they may attract petty people who harbor jealousy or seek revenge leading to obstacles in their endeavors.
16: The eyes should not have excessive white visible above or below; too much white with little black indicates potential misfortune. Close relatives may face hardships or conflicts even if the eye shape appears delicate and elongated—it remains unfavorable especially for those with “three whites” or “four whites,” which typically belong to inferior eye shapes.
Such individuals may experience flaws in health, wisdom, or personality affecting both career prospects and marital life; they may encounter accidents or untimely death. Even if they live long lives there’s a possibility of feeling empty or lonely inside.
17: The gaze must remain steady without losing focus when looking at others or objects during conversations; one should appear increasingly spirited as time goes on—their expression must convey vitality along with authority—this is what is meant by “not losing focus.”
Individuals exhibiting this trait inherit good genes naturally leading them toward healthiness and longevity along with successful careers. Conversely if after prolonged observation their expression becomes increasingly dull or fatigued—or if their eyes blink excessively
or become cloudy due to aging—these individuals tend toward poor health lacking longevity; lacking concentration leads them toward weak willpower resulting in lower achievements often encountering setbacks after middle age.
