Physiognomy is an amazing science that allows not only to determine the character of a person, but also to look into the depths of his personality. Facial features can communicate the potential of a person, personal tragedies that he still experiences inside himself, hidden diseases. But the myth that the face can predict the future is a hoax clean water, according to experts.

An experienced physiognomist, who has more than one year of work behind him, easily reads a person like an open book, but, alas, similar knowledge very few professionals have. If you want to learn to recognize a person's character from their facial features, you will need patience, attention to detail and some knowledge of psychology. Physiognomists argue that it is quite possible to learn to recognize on a person's face a tendency to lie, anger, cruelty.

Today we will talk about the structural features of the superciliary arches in men and women. This seemingly insignificant detail can tell a lot about a person's personality.

What is a brow ridge? Where is she?

The superciliary arch is called the protruding part of the forehead, covered with hairline - eyebrows. Its main function is to protect the eyes from the wind, sweat, small specks, etc. The superciliary arch is equipped with a muscle that allows you to raise or frown your eyebrows, thereby expressing surprise or anger.

A few years ago, scientists tried to attribute protruding superciliary ridges to rudimentary organs. Rudiment - a sign inherent in a person on initial stage development, which a more developed personality should not have.

But actually it is not. Superciliary ridges are more often pronounced in men than in women, and are usually found in southerners. Pronounced brow ridges are associated with the male hormone testosterone - the more it is, the more convex they are.

What do protruding superciliary arches say?

Pronounced superciliary arches indicate the presence of a fairly hard, volitional character. Such a person prefers to live according to a proven, established scheme, deviations from which he does not welcome. He strictly follows the established regime and adheres to strict rules. Such a military approach is for him the optimal environment in which he feels comfortable.

Stubbornness is another distinguishing feature. A person is trying to get to the bottom of the reasons for certain actions, persistently looking for personal motives in the actions of his friends and acquaintances.

If a person has a more developed upper part frontal bone, this indicates a tendency to self-sacrifice. But with a developed lower part of the forehead, which is typical for people born under the sign of Aries or Leo, the person is prone to frequent resentment, selfishness, selfishness. In this case, not the most the best sides character inherent in these two signs.

However, people with developed bottom foreheads have feeling dignity and decency. Despite the fact that they, as inveterate egoists, are able to justify even their most unseemly actions. The hollow between the eyebrows indicates vanity.

In addition, the owners of protruding superciliary arches have curiosity, attentiveness, giftedness, a penchant for playing music or other creative activities, an inquisitive mind and an intuitive nature. These personalities are sociable in most cases, they are pleasant conversationalists if you speak on neutral topics.

The location of the superciliary arches is very important. This will be discussed further.

The subtleties of the location of the superciliary arches

If the brow ridges are enlarged closer to the nose, then these people are so stubborn that they often refuse to change something in their lives, even in case of emergency. In professional language, this is called rigidity. In communication, they are pleasant, until you offer, even if unconsciously, something radical. Actor Johnny Depp has a similar arrangement of superciliary arches.

Large superciliary arches closer to the temples speak of acquired scarcity of thinking, conservatism, and a certain limitation. Communication with such people, especially on business topics, can be difficult.

It is extremely important to pay attention to the eyebrows - color, shape, density. In physiognomy, these details play essential role. Their balance in the absence of excessive eyebrow density and the presence of an even and clear line speaks of harmony between feelings, emotions and reason.

Absence of protruding superciliary ridges and character

In most people, the superciliary arches are not pronounced, especially for women. Physiognomists claim that these are flexible personalities, able to adapt to the situation. They are open to new acquaintances and people, they know how to make spontaneous decisions. Such people are very enterprising and able to find a way out of a difficult situation.

Brow ridges and leadership qualities

What brow ridges should a person with leadership inclinations have? Protruding brow ridges on a steep forehead indicate the presence of leadership qualities, great willpower and ability to lead. Broken, wide eyebrows also testify to this. Since the face is closely related to character, a person with unexpressed superciliary arches cannot be a leader.

Are brow ridges a sign of cruelty?

Some physiognomists really believe that pronounced brow ridges, like a pointy chin, are a sign of cruelty to other people. This is due to the fact that such individuals are internally very strong and conservative. They only consider their opinion. Therefore, in some situations they can behave rudely and sometimes harshly.

Pain in the forehead- is a variety headache. The reasons for its occurrence are varied. They can be divided into the following groups:
1. Forehead injuries.
2. Pathologies of the cardiovascular system.
3. Infectious and inflammatory diseases.
4. Pathologies of the nervous system.

By the nature of the pain in the forehead can be acute, throbbing, pressing, stabbing. It can disturb for a short period of time or for a long time, occur alone or in combination with other symptoms. The patient must tell the doctor about all this at the appointment so that the correct diagnosis is made and effective treatment is prescribed.

Acute severe pain in the forehead with injuries

Forehead injury

A bruise of the forehead area is a type of injury in which only soft tissue damage is noted (in this case mostly skin). Pain in the forehead occurs immediately after the injury, and gradually disappears in the following days.

Often, pain in the forehead with a bruise is accompanied by the appearance of a subcutaneous hematoma (bruise). It also resolves within a few days. If the hematoma is large enough, it can fester. In this case, the pain in the forehead increases, the body temperature rises, when touched, severe pain is noted.
The cause of severe pain in the forehead with a bruise is established during a direct examination. In case of head injuries, there is always a suspicion of a concussion of the brain, therefore, an examination by a neurologist is mandatory, especially if there is a hematoma.

Frontal bone fracture

Fractures of the frontal bone are quite severe injuries that, as a rule, occur upon impact. At this moment there is a very strong pain in the forehead. Such injuries are almost always accompanied by concussion or bruising of the brain.

With fractures of the frontal bone, severe pain in the forehead is accompanied by the following symptoms:

• well-defined subcutaneous hematoma in the forehead;
• deformation in the forehead, which, as a rule, is also clearly visible;
• general disorders: headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, loss of consciousness;
• if the fracture affects the orbits, then there is visual impairment, double vision;
• there may be bleeding from the ears, the release of a clear liquid from them - cerebral cerebrospinal fluid (this indicates severe damage);
• if the paranasal sinuses (maxillary, frontal) are affected, then there is an accumulation of air under the skin of the forehead and face - it seems a little swollen.

If there is even the slightest suspicion of a fracture of the frontal bone, then the victim must be shown a CT scan. When the diagnosis is confirmed, the patient is immediately admitted to the hospital.

Concussions and brain injuries

With injuries to the forehead, concussions and bruises of the brain can be noted. If there is a fracture of the frontal bone, then one of these conditions will certainly be identified.

With a concussion of the brain, pain in the forehead is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and general weakness. There may be a short-term loss of consciousness at the time of injury (with a concussion, it usually lasts no more than 5 minutes). At the same time, sometimes with a concussion, there is only severe pain in the forehead without any other symptoms. If there is a suspicion of this condition, then the patient admitted to the emergency room must be examined by a neurologist.

A brain contusion is a more serious and severe condition. At the time of injury, there is also severe pain in the forehead, nausea, vomiting, dizziness. Loss of consciousness can continue for a long time. Neurological manifestations such as double vision, uneven pupils and their different widths, weakness in the leg or arm on one side may be detected.

With a brain contusion, pain in the forehead and other symptoms not only do not decrease, but may even increase. During the X-ray and computed tomography, fractures of the frontal bone are almost always detected.

Concussions and bruises of the brain are quite serious conditions that can have backfire. Therefore, with a sufficiently severe injury to the forehead and the head in general, it is necessary to deliver the victim to the emergency room for examination.

Abrasions and wounds of the forehead

Forehead pain can occur as a result of damage to the skin and other soft tissues - wounds and abrasions. If the wound has a sufficiently large depth, then it is necessary to visit a traumatologist and suture. This will speed up healing and prevent the formation of ugly scars.

Pain in the forehead with infectious and inflammatory diseases

Frontit

Frontitis is a disease characterized by the development of an inflammatory process in the frontal sinuses, located in the thickness of the frontal bone, directly above the nose. Most often, frontal sinusitis is a complication of acute respiratory diseases, viral infections.

Patients with frontal sinusitis are worried about severe pain in the forehead area, especially in the morning. Depending on which side of the sinus is affected, there is pain in the forehead, mainly on the right or left. She may have varying degrees severity: from almost imperceptible to unbearable. It usually subsides as the contents flow from the frontal sinus, and then resumes again. Thus, sensations are cyclical.

Pain in the forehead with frontal sinusitis is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:

• general malaise, fever;
• nasal congestion on the side where pain is noted;
• in severe cases, there is a loss of smell, photophobia.

Frontitis and pain in the forehead on the right or left very often occur as a manifestation of influenza infection. In this case, the patient can often notice swelling above the nose due to impaired blood flow in the capillaries and swelling of the skin.

The diagnosis of frontitis is established after examination by an ENT doctor. Antiviral and antibacterial treatment is prescribed.

Sinusitis

Sinusitis is a disease in which an inflammatory process develops in the maxillary sinuses located on the sides of the nose. Often, this causes pain not in the immediate location of the sinuses, but in the forehead, on the right or left.

Other symptoms of sinusitis are quite characteristic:

• pain occurs, as a rule, always at the same time of day;
• body temperature rises, general weakness, malaise, chills are noted;
• the nose is stuffed up on one side, there is discharge from the nostrils.

Diagnosis of the causes of pain in the forehead area and the appointment of treatment are carried out by an otolaryngologist. Antibacterial drugs, physiotherapy are prescribed. In more severe cases, piercing of the maxillary sinus is prescribed.

Ethmoiditis

Ethmoiditis is an inflammatory disease of the ethmoid sinus, which is located behind the nose, deep in the skull. At the same time, pain in the forehead is also noted periodically, at a certain time of the day, accompanied by a runny nose, fever and other symptoms. Diagnosis and treatment of this condition is carried out by an ENT doctor.

Infectious diseases

Headaches in the forehead area are quite often observed with the following infections:
1. With influenza, pain in the forehead is associated with the penetration of the virus into the blood and general intoxication of the body. Also, pain syndrome can become a sign of a developed complication - frontal sinusitis. With the flu, forehead pain has some peculiarities. It usually occurs at the very beginning of the disease, and spreads to the temples and brow ridges. At the same time, the patient feels weakness, chills, muscle pain. At the same time, the main symptoms of the pathology may still be completely absent: they develop in a couple of days.
2. Headaches are very characteristic in typhoid and malaria. They are, as a rule, very intense, accompanied by a general disorder, fever, and other manifestations characteristic of these diseases.
3. With meningitis, pain may be localized in the forehead area. The disease is an inflammation of the lining of the brain, which contains a large number of nerve endings. The most common purulent meningitis is caused by pathogens of meningococci. This causes severe pain in the forehead or other areas of the head. The patient's condition deteriorates sharply: the body temperature rises, he loses consciousness, various neurological symptoms are noted. The disease is treated in a neurological hospital, in intensive care units. Contact with patients is very dangerous in terms of infection.
4. Encephalitis is an inflammatory disease that can be caused by various pathogens. Wherein clinical picture may also differ, and have varying degrees of severity. The patient is worried about headache in the forehead or other parts of the head, weakness, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, drowsiness. In more severe cases, hallucinations and delirium develop, coma.
5. Today, Thailand and other southern countries have become a favorite travel destination for tourists. Going on a trip for the first time, you can transfer dengue fever- a viral disease that is somewhat reminiscent of the common cold. The patient is concerned about pain in the forehead, chills, fever, pain in the muscles and bones. Pain in the forehead and elevated body temperature (up to 40 o C) disturb the patient cyclically, appearing for 2-3 days, and then disappearing for 1-3 days. For the diagnosis and treatment of such an "unusual cold" it is necessary to contact an infectious disease specialist. In total, the disease can last 3 to 8 weeks.

Pain in the forehead associated with pathologies of the heart and blood vessels

In the cavity of the human skull there is a huge number of vessels that deliver blood rich in nutrients to the brain and surrounding tissues. One of the symptoms of impaired blood flow in the cranial cavity is pain in the forehead.

Increased intracranial pressure

The brain is located in a closed cavity of the skull, surrounded by dense bone walls. With an increase in pressure in the cranial arteries and veins, many of those who are here are irritated. nerve endings. As a result, a headache develops, in particular, pain in the forehead.
Headache in the forehead with increased intracranial pressure is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:

• dizziness;
• nausea and vomiting;
• weakness, lethargy, pallor, pre-syncope and fainting;
• feeling of pressure in the eyes, pain of a throbbing nature.

The causes of pain in the forehead with increased intracranial pressure may be the following conditions:

• Arterial hypertension, especially hypertensive crisis (an episode of severely elevated blood pressure).
• Vegetative-vascular dystonia of the sympathotonic type, in which high blood pressure is noted.
• Skull injuries (concussions and bruises). raising intracranial pressure and forehead pain can develop even in patients who have suffered trauma for a relatively long time.
• Violation of blood flow in the vessels of the brain, for example, as a result of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, or a tumor.
• Congenital malformations of the heart and blood vessels.
• poisoning toxic substances and medicines.
• Cervical osteochondrosis.
• Sometimes pain in the forehead and other parts of the head in the evenings can be caused by banal overwork.
• Pathologies of the endocrine glands: adrenal glands, thyroid gland, etc.

Decreased intracranial pressure

With a decrease in intracranial pressure, pain in the forehead may also be disturbing. They can have different intensity, from mild to very strong, painful. Often, pain sensations are girdle in nature, that is, they occur in the forehead, temples, and back of the head. They are accompanied by the following symptoms:

• nausea and vomiting;
• weakness, pallor, drowsiness, pre-fainting and fainting;
• usually pain in the forehead with a decrease in intracranial pressure increases in the supine position and sitting;
• noise in the ears, "flies before the eyes."

The reasons for the decrease in intracranial pressure and pain in the forehead can be as follows:

• Narrowing of the arteries of the brain caused by atherosclerosis, thrombosis, congenital malformations: at the same time, rather large vessels are narrowed, which play a leading role in the blood supply to the cranial cavity.
• Tumors of the brain.
• Hypotension (general low blood pressure, which may be individual feature organism, or caused by various pathological factors). Pain in the forehead, due to such reasons, can be provoked and intensified with prolonged stay in stuffy room, excessive intense physical exertion, stress, mental overwork.
• Vegetative-vascular dystonia of the vagotonic type: this form of the disease is accompanied by low blood pressure.
• Endocrine pathologies: thyroid gland, adrenal glands, etc.

For pain in the forehead caused by an increase or decrease in intracranial pressure, an examination is performed to determine the cause of the symptom, which includes an X-ray of the skull, angiography (X-ray examination of the vessels of the cranial cavity with contrast enhancement), computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ECHO- encephalography, general and biochemical blood tests. Treatment is carried out by a cardiologist or internist.

Pain in the forehead due to pathologies of the nervous system

Pain in the forehead can be symptoms of various pathologies of the nervous system.

Migraine

Migraine is a chronic disease that occurs in 10% of people. It manifests itself in the form of periodic intense throbbing pains in the forehead, which cover the right or left half of the head.

Usually at the beginning of a migraine attack there is a strong throbbing pain in the temple, which spreads to the forehead and the orbit, the back of the head. There are other typical symptoms, too:

• weakness and dizziness;
• nausea and vomiting;
• pain and discomfort are greatly aggravated when the patient is exposed to bright light and loud noise;
• if there are pungent odors in the room where the patient is located, then he also perceives them quite painfully;
• in some patients, during a migraine attack, there is a violation of orientation in space;
• sometimes there may be a violation of digestion;
• noise in the ears, "flies before the eyes."

Most often, migraine attacks are repeated at intervals of 2 to 8 times a month. Sometimes they disturb the patient very rarely, and sometimes almost daily. At the moment, the cause of pain in the forehead with migraine is not fully established.

Most often, the patient feels the approach of a migraine attack: it is preceded by a complex of sensations called an aura. It can be certain smells or flashes of light before the eyes. Sometimes it's just a set of sensations that are difficult to put into words.
For the treatment of pain in the forehead with migraine are used medical preparations. At the same time, the patient should avoid all factors that can provoke seizures. Sometimes the pain becomes so severe and frequent that the patient has to establish a disability group.

Migraine is usually diagnosed and treated by a neurologist.

cluster pain

Cluster (beam) pain in the forehead is paroxysmal pain that occurs spontaneously, for no apparent reason, and then also passes on its own.

Cluster pains are characterized by high intensity: sometimes they are so strong that the patient tries to commit suicide and attempts suicide.

In most cases, cluster headaches in the forehead area occur for the first time between the ages of 20 and 50 years. The most characteristic age is 30 years. Usually a series of attacks follows, after which the patient does not have any symptoms for 3 years. Then the headaches come back. With cluster headaches, heredity was not noted. Usually the patient is the only person in families with this disease.

An attack of cluster headache in the forehead is characterized by the following features:
1. It arises spontaneously, on its own. It is not preceded, as in migraine, by an aura.
2. Pain in the forehead is one-sided. It usually occurs only on the right or left. Pain extends to the temple, to the corresponding part of the forehead and the back of the head. Sometimes they are localized only around the right or left eye.
3. Attacks are usually very short (15 minutes) but frequent. From 1 to 10 attacks can occur per day. An episode of headaches in the forehead can last from several days to weeks, and even months. After that, as described above, there is a 3-year period when nothing bothers the patient.
4. During an attack, the symptoms arising from the eye are very characteristic. Pain in the forehead is accompanied by redness of the eyeball, constriction of the pupil, visual impairment. The eyelid on the side of the same name is lowered and slightly swollen.
5. Characterized by increased heart rate.
6. Regular attacks of cluster headaches are provoked by smoking, drinking alcohol. Often they occur in the spring or autumn season.

Treatment of cluster pain in the forehead area is carried out by a neurologist. Due to the short duration of attacks, their therapy is difficult. Today, some drugs are successfully used, but this should be done only under the supervision of a doctor.

trigeminal neuralgia

Trigeminal neuralgia is a disease whose nature is not yet fully understood. It is accompanied by attacks of sharp stabbing pains in the face, in the places where the corresponding branches of the trigeminal nerve pass. If the upper branch is affected, then sharp, rather severe pains are noted in the forehead on the right or left.

Attacks of trigeminal neuralgia are characterized by the following features:

• They can occur on their own, for no apparent reason, but are most often provoked by touching, shaving, washing with cold or hot water.
• There is a so-called trigger zone, when irritated, pain occurs with more probability: it is located between the nose and upper lip.
• Most often, acute pain in the forehead lasts no more than two minutes (in most cases, the attack takes a few seconds in duration), it has a shooting character.
• The distribution of pain is very variable, depending on how the branches of the trigeminal nerve pass under the skin: often patients complain of toothache, pain in the eyes, ears and nose. Sometimes there is pain in the index finger on the left.

Treatment of pain in the forehead with trigeminal neuralgia is carried out by a neurologist. Medications are used. Sometimes, in severe cases, one has to resort to surgical intervention - the destruction of the trigeminal ganglion, which is located on inner surface temporal bone.

neuroses

Pain in the forehead can also be psychogenic. For example, with neurasthenia, hysterical neurosis, pathologically increased suspiciousness. At the same time, apart from the pain itself, no other pathological symptoms are detected.

The diagnosis of neurosis, the only manifestation of which is pain in the forehead, can only be established after all other causes of the symptom have been excluded.

Pain in the forehead in diseases of the musculoskeletal system

Cervical osteochondrosis

Cervical osteochondrosis is a chronic degenerative disease of the spine, in this case, its cervical region. In this case, there is a partial destruction of the intervertebral discs, the formation of bone outgrowths on the vertebrae - osteophytes. As a result, the holes between the vertebrae narrow, through which the roots exit the spinal canal. spinal cord. Their compression leads to pain and other unpleasant symptoms.

Most often, cervical osteochondrosis is manifested by pain in the back of the head. But sometimes there are predominantly pains in the forehead. By nature, they can be pressing, pulling, aching or shooting.

Often a headache in the forehead caused by osteochondrosis is provoked by cold, excessive physical activity, prolonged monotonous position of the head and neck, for example, during work. Morning pains that occur after the head has occupied a monotonous position are very characteristic, especially if an uncomfortable pillow has been used.

For pain in the forehead with osteochondrosis, other symptoms are also characteristic:

• tinnitus, "flies before the eyes", darkening in the eyes;
• dizziness, nausea, vomiting, pallor;
• impaired coordination of movements, unsteady gait;
• tingling, numbness, "crawling" and other unpleasant sensations in the skin of the face, head, neck.

For the diagnosis of osteochondrosis, radiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are used. For the purpose of treatment, medications, physiotherapy, massage, physiotherapy exercises are used. During an attack of headache in the forehead caused by osteochondrosis, painkillers are used, dry heat, peace.

Tension headache

Pain in the forehead of a pressing character can be caused by excessive tension in the muscles of the head and face, neck. The causes of such pain may be the following factors:

• prolonged stress, depression, elevated level anxiety;
• prolonged muscle tension associated, for example, with constant work in a monotonous position;
• severe fatigue.

Head pain in the forehead associated with muscle tension and, as a result, exacerbation of pain sensitivity, are characterized by the following features:

• along with it, symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, staggering may occur;
• usually pain starts from the neck, and only then captures the head and forehead;
• there are pressing pains in the forehead;
• most often the pain syndrome develops in the evening, in the afternoon;
• often patients compare their sensations with tightening their heads with a hoop or a tight hat.

In order to treat tension headaches, rest, painkillers are prescribed. It is advisable to control the level of blood pressure.

Eye pathologies

Pain in the forehead area can be a symptom of eye diseases. The nerves and vessels of the orbit pass directly into the cranial cavity, so pain and increased pressure in the eye vessels are often transmitted to the intracranial vessels and nerves.
ophthalmologist.

Pain in the forehead associated with tumor processes

Sometimes chronic pain in the forehead is associated with tumor processes. The most common symptom is the following types tumors:
1. Tumors of the frontal bone located on its inner surface.
2. Tumors of the frontal lobe of the brain. In this case, pain in the forehead may be accompanied by symptoms such as epileptic seizures, mental disorders, speech, smell, movements.
3. Vascular tumors are hemangiomas. Pain can be caused by a hemangioma located in the region of the frontal lobe of the brain.
4. Tumors of the paranasal sinuses: frontal, maxillary. Smokers are especially prone to such pathologies.
5. Tumor of the pituitary gland - the most important endocrine gland of the body, located at the base of the skull. In this case, pain in the forehead area is often combined with visual impairment.
6. Tumors located in the cavity of the orbit. They can originate from the eyeball, nerve, blood vessels, fat and connective tissue. This is characterized by bulging eyes and double vision. Outwardly, it is possible to identify the asymmetrical position of the eyeballs in the orbits.

Typically, patients suffering from prolonged pain in the forehead caused by tumor processes, initially get an appointment with a neurologist. Then the oncologist deals with the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions.

What to do if you are worried about pain in the forehead?

As follows from the above, forehead pain can have various causes. Sometimes it is simply a consequence of overwork, and in other cases it signals a serious pathology. If the pain syndrome occurred once, for a short time and was not very pronounced, then, most likely, there was simply an episode of tension pain, and there is no reason for concern. If the pain is strong enough and recurs periodically, then you should consult a doctor, primarily a neurologist.

Painkillers help relieve the symptom, the most common of which is analgin. However, it is worth remembering that they help only for a while, and do not eliminate the cause. Therefore, if the pain in the forehead is caused by any disease, it is necessary that the doctor prescribes a special treatment.

Before use, you should consult with a specialist.

Mentally divide your forehead in half with a horizontal line. The upper part expresses a person's attitude towards others, the lower part expresses his self-esteem. People with a more developed lower part of the forehead (brow ridges) (Fig. 3.1) are used to relying only on their own strength, however, they are unlikely to provide support to anyone else besides themselves.
Such people are individualists, focused on personal problems, used to dominating, imposing their opinions on others (they are often born under the signs of Leo and Aries).
Man with a sloping top forehead (Fig. 3.2) is often ambitious, not used to obeying someone.

Rice. 3.1. Forehead with a more developed lower part

Rice. 3.2. Forehead with sloping top

He exalts himself above others, seeks to conquer and dominate, and even if he fails, he will not put up with a subordinate position, but uses all his strength and means to achieve what he wants. Sometimes this forehead shape is found in people who are extremely contradictory, who, even in the absence of their own position, will always hold the opposite opinion in a dispute with other people. Relatively high prominent forehead indicates the ability to absorb and remember information well, as well as susceptibility, but the absence of suspiciousness.

Note
The absence of a hollow between the right and left sides of the superciliary arches almost always characterizes conceited man. A religious, domineering personality can always be recognized by the strongly pronounced upper part of the forehead: it is convex, although the forehead itself can be of any size (Fig. 3.3).
Great importance also has a furrow separating the upper and lower parts of the forehead. If it exists, then this speaks of the great moral and spiritual independence of a person, which obeys a high cosmic law, as well as the ability to combine one's own view with the opinions of other people. Such a person has objective views and judgments. It is bad if the middle of the forehead is fixed, large. This is the forehead of Jupiter. A person who has it often confuses good and evil, tries to teach others, to preach. If, with other not very good indicators, a too smooth forehead stands out on the face, then this also blurs the line between good and bad. One large horizontal crease running down the middle of the forehead indicates an ambitious and self-confident person who loves to be listened to and obeyed. If such a person chooses an occupation for himself that does not contradict moral and ethical principles, in the future he will turn out to be an excellent mentor, able to pass on experience to the younger generation.
In general, forehead shapes can be divided into several types. Each of them classifies a person according to certain moral qualities and strength of character. The shape of the forehead is determined along the hairline, for example, uneven (meaning that the hair near the forehead does not grow in a straight or rounded line, but along an uneven or curved one) or M-shaped (the hairline resembles the shape of the letter M).

Rice. 3.3. Forehead with convex top

uneven forehead line

It is characterized primarily jagged line hair growth. Such people tend to doubt everything, and this primarily concerns life position, spiritual authorities, etc. People with an uneven hairline are more likely than others to ridicule the shrines and moral principles adopted in the society in which they live, reject authorities.
If, moreover, such people have overgrown whiskey, this indicates a poor understanding of morality or the preaching of their morality. The overgrown temples of a woman, especially on the right side, give out a hypocrite and a “blue stocking” in her.

round forehead

If the roundness of a high forehead commensurate with the head occupies the temples and forms a bulge that is not covered with hair, this is a sign of mental superiority, aspiration for honors, pride (Fig. 3.4).
Such people are also distinguished by generosity. If there is a recess in the middle of the forehead and it is frowning, wrinkled, this is a sign of cruelty softened by virtues: courage, intelligence and sanity. Very big but round forehead without hair means a brave man, but prone to lies.
A person with a smooth, convex and rounded forehead superficially concerned with obtaining information. This most often concerns women who want to know "not much, but about everything." Although there are also men with this type of forehead. Such people are attracted by everything new and unknown, and the need in-depth study what is already familiar causes melancholy and boredom.

Rice. 3.4. round forehead

Trapezoidal forehead

Sometimes the hairline goes up from the temples, tapering slightly, and then straight along the forehead or slightly rounded. Such a forehead is called a forehead trapezoid or oval shape(Fig. 3.5)
People with this type of forehead have a tendency to depression due to the desire to reflect on lofty topics and try to understand some metaphysical processes. But such a person is not a manic-depressive type, but rather a philosophical nature.
In general, people with a trapezoidal forehead have a lot positive characteristics. They are inclined towards charity, they have high level intelligence and willpower and a well-developed sense of humor. At the same time, such people lack self-confidence, because of which they sometimes have problems in communication or in career growth. You can’t call them losers, but, as I said, the tendency to philosophical understanding of life and “introspection” often steals luck from under their noses. By the way, uncertainty is often the cause of a fiasco in the personal, especially sexual, sphere of relationships.

Rice. 3.5. Trapezoidal forehead

Square forehead

The square shape of the forehead is determined by the direction of the hairline straight up, from the temples, and then the same straight line parallel to the eyebrows. The forehead looks like a square or rectangle (Fig. 3.6).
Such people, as well as people with a trapezoidal forehead, are prone to reflection, only of a slightly different nature. Sentimentality is unknown to them, they are accustomed not only to reason, but also to act. This is emphasized by the lack of a desire for charity in them: they are more likely to help direct a person on the true path, help him figure out his problems on his own. Therefore, a straight square forehead is inherent in religious people who are inclined to follow ethical standards, evaluating their actions from the standpoint of justice and higher authorities.

Rice. 3.6. Square forehead

A high square forehead is an indicator of a firm, domineering, but not conservative person. He has a high level of intelligence, a well-developed sense of humor and self-control. They do not believe in luck, but prefer to achieve everything on their own, believing that diligence and dedication are the main indicators of success.
Intelligence and willpower are also characteristic of people with a low square forehead. At the same time, they have much less religiosity and their reasoning is reduced to an assessment of their actions. By nature, they are rather more conservative, rely on diligence and diligence and do not believe in random success. However, to achieve their goals, people with a low square forehead can use not entirely legal methods, justifying this with the prospect of results.

Forehead with bald patches and turning into a bald patch

The appearance of bald patches (Fig. 3.7) often indicates some kind of complex. At the same time, it is generally accepted that they are a sign of excessive sexuality. This is motivated by the fact that, from a biological point of view, early bald patches are due to the presence of a large number male hormone testosterone in the body. So you can take note of this and not be upset about the fact that the husband began to lose hair early.

Note
Jack Nicholson (Fig. 3.8) is an American actor who is rightfully considered a Hollywood legend. However, he was no less famous for love front. Personal life Nicholson's film career has been variegated for many years. From a four-year marriage to starlet Sandra Knight, he has an actress daughter. His affair with Anjelica Huston lasted 17 years, with whom Nicholson starred in the gangster film The Honor of the Prizzi Family, and the actor also has a lot of all sorts of intrigues and scandals.

The chin

The shape of a person's chin speaks of his strength, independence and temperament. There is a direct dependence of the character on the chin: the coarser and more significant the chin on the face, the more dynamic, stubborn and tough the character of a person.

Protruding chin

A protruding chin often speaks of the cruelty and stubbornness of its owner (Fig. 3.9).

Rice. 3.9. Protruding chin
Such people, as a rule, are accustomed to achieving their goals by any available and inaccessible means, sometimes stopping at nothing. For them, the concept of mercy and sympathy is limited to a good mood.

Note
Vladimir Zhirinovsky (Fig. 3.10) - famous politician, Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party. He always knew what he wanted and consistently achieved his goals. He is known for his tough and scandalous character, which is characteristic of people with a protruding chin. Nevertheless, the dimple on the chin, which, as it were, bifurcates it, suggests that the politician is a little old-fashioned in his views and beliefs and strives for solitude and peace.

Long and pointed chin

A long and sharp chin (Fig. 3.11) is often attributed to cunning fairy-tale characters.

Rice. 3.11. Long and pointed chin

And not by chance. Such people stand out among others, on the one hand, with a penetrating mind, on the other, with cunning and sarcasm. Just like people with a protruding chin, the owners of a long chin are stubborn, which, combined with cunning, as well as determination and perseverance, allows them to easily and confidently achieve their goals.

Weakly defined chin

A weakly defined, almost imperceptible chin (Fig. 3.12) is often called limp. And not in vain. According to physiognomic characteristics, he indicates a soft, timid, indecisive and nervous nature. In what actions can these qualities be expressed?

Rice. 3.12. Weakly defined chin

Softness and timidity are most often expressed in the desire to make concessions, so you can agree on anything with people with such a chin.
At the same time, people with a poorly defined chin often achieve their goals, but do not use assertiveness, rigidity and aggression for this, but softness and goodwill. They are patient and go towards what they have in mind, slowly but surely. If your child has such a chin, try to instill in him independence and the ability to defend own position, do not abuse his humility, otherwise in the future he will turn into a weak, weak-willed, lack of initiative being. And you will be the one to blame for this.
Sometimes you can meet people with the so-called fish chin. This is extreme degree its lack of expression: it seems that from lower lip the face smoothly passes immediately into the neck. Such people can be called the prototypes of Saltykov-Shchedrin's fairy tale "The Wise Gudgeon". They live according to the principle “quieter than water, lower than grass” and perceive the absence of events in their lives as a kiss of fortune. With a sudden change of environment, a change in the usual state, such a person can easily become depressed.
On the other hand, such people cannot be called harmless either: they easily change their decisions and views, obeying the majority and using the principle of opportunism. They try by all means to avoid conflict situations and become a third party in the dispute.
Such people are characterized by dependence and indecision, but they really need to be loved, appreciated and needed, because it is the only way avoid loneliness.

beefy chin

A fleshy chin (Fig. 3.13) indicates intelligence, sensuality and a strong character. No wonder the classic portrait of a bully - with a fleshy square chin. Such people are fighters by nature.

Rice. 3.13. beefy chin

In fact, the essential feature is not even the chin itself, but a massive wide jaw, giving the impression of a square bottom of the face. Fighting qualities are most pronounced in people with a fleshy chin and a wide, massive face.
These people are always confident, strong and powerful. They are used to coming and taking what they like. At the same time, they almost never meet obstacles on their way or simply do not notice them.

Strong-willed chin

It is customary to call a strong-willed chin, as it were, bent upwards (Fig. 3.14). Its owners are persistent in achieving their goals and at the same time possess such qualities as cunning, determination and inconstancy.

Rice. 3.14. Strong-willed chin

The heavier the chin looks and the more it protrudes forward, the more strong-willed nature appears before us. It is difficult to negotiate with such a person, therefore, in dealing with him, one should use strength, determination and fearlessness.

cleft chin

A cleft chin (Fig. 3.15) characterizes people who are fickle and amorous.

Rice. 3.15. cleft chin

Despite their passionate nature, such people very often seek solitude and peace. In their views and beliefs, they are a bit old-fashioned.

cheekbones

By the shape of the cheekbones, one can determine the degree of a person's propensity for risk.
Pronounced cheekbones, located almost near the eyes, indicate determination and fearlessness (Fig. 3.16).

Rice. 3.16. high cheekbones

Often people with such cheekbones perceive risk as an integral part of life, without which it is impossible to exist normally. Adrenaline should always boil in the blood, and the air should be saturated with mysteries and danger - this is the motto of people with pronounced cheekbones.
The opposite characteristic can be given to people with cheekbones located below the line of the eyes (Fig. 3.17) or not expressed at all (Fig. 3.18).

Rice. 3.17. Cheekbones below eye level

Rice. 3.18. Unexpressed cheekbones

Low cheekbones characterize a person's desire to play it safe and take risks only in the most extreme case. The absence of cheekbones, their smoothness as a whole, speaks of a person’s unwillingness to take risks under any circumstances.

Chapter 4
Windows of our soul...

Whoever has hanging bags under his eyes - drunkards; this goes back to the corresponding state, since many who drink have bags under their eyes, as it were. Those who have this part swollen love to sleep; this sign goes back to the corresponding state, since the waking eyes have a kind of swelling around them. Those who have small eyes are cowardly; this goes back to the corresponding trait and to monkeys. Big-eyed are lazy; it is related to oxen. Therefore, it is proper for a noble-born to have eyes that are not very large and not very small. Those who have sunken eyes are evil; it correlates with monkeys. Those who have bulging eyes are stupid; this goes back to the corresponding trait and to donkeys. Therefore, the eyes should not be bulging or sunken, but the best is the average condition. Those who have slightly sunken eyes are generous; it correlates with lions; if strong - meek; it is related to oxen. Those who are downcast are sad; this goes back to the corresponding state, since sad people lower their eyes.

Aristotle

If you want to know a person, look into his eyes. This is wisdom proven over the centuries. But what should we see when we look into our eyes? What to pay attention to and how not to be mistaken when calling a person a friend or, on the contrary, accusing him of a serious crime? In this chapter, we will talk about the shape of the eyes.
If you try to classify the eyes on the go, the first thing that comes to mind is the size: large or small. And he really has special meaning.
Large eyes have always been considered more attractive than small ones. It seems that the huge eyes on a person’s face reflect his beautiful qualities, it’s not for nothing that the metaphor “eyes are like two diamonds” is so often found in literature.
Indeed, big eyes speak of the sensitivity of the soul and courage, intelligence and sophistication, artistry and the desire for leadership, receptivity and authority. At the same time, people with big eyes often tend to wishful thinking, embellish events and often do not recognize the line between truth and lies. In addition, they are characterized by some natural laziness, which is reflected not only in everyday life, but also in many actions. On the other hand, it is often laziness that can explain the non-conflict of big-eyed people. In general, much more good can be said about the owners of large eyes than bad. Such people know how to feel people and especially appreciate sincerity and directness, even if it seriously hurts them. They are so natural that they often make a career thanks to their sincerity and trust from sometimes almost strangers. It’s just that it’s calm and reliable with them, and what leader doesn’t want to have not only a valuable employee nearby, but also a sincere, noble person!

Note
The large eyes of the French film actress Audrey Tautou (Fig. 4.1), her naive and sometimes defenseless look, won many hearts around the world. Looking at her, I want to believe in all the kindest, brightest and purest ...

And yet, the shortcomings of people with large eyes should also be mentioned. These include, for example, inconsistency. Such people are accustomed to being the center of attention, accepting compliments from numerous admirers and admirers - it is unlikely that they can be seduced for a long time by permanent relationships and routine family life. Although here everything will depend on the partner. If he can give a fairy tale, then it will last a lifetime. By the way, the owners of big eyes are also excellent parents.
Quite often, big-eyed people face failure on the personal front. One of the reasons has already been described above, the other is that large eyes are easily attracted - and often fans are captured by them, and having figured it out, they simply run away. Those who remain, remain for life.

Rice. 4.2. Small eyes

Sometimes their punctuality and scrupulousness can be annoying, but you just need to get used to this and not try to change it - it is useless and fraught with conflict. Sometimes the owners of small eyes overestimate own possibilities and then spend a lot of effort to correct their mistakes. But strangely enough, they do not even learn from them, persistently trying to reach a high bar, even if it takes a lifetime to do so.

Note
Don't confuse small eyes with deep set ones!

One of the biggest flaws in owners of small eyes is jealousy. They are jealous of friends, business partners, relatives, and lovers. It is likely that the reason for this is a sense of ownership. Such people should understand that every person, even the closest and most dependent, has the right to personal freedom. Jealousy is unlikely to help to realize the fullness of feelings and emotions. Close people will always be able to understand and appreciate loyalty and constancy, you just need to trust them more.

Eye location

The fit of the eyes, that is, their location, can tell quite a lot about a person. It is considered ideal when the eyes are on the same line. A rather favorable impression is always created about such a person. Sloping eyes speak of decisiveness and recklessness, with raised pupils (Fig. 4.4) - of nobility, courage and loyalty.

Rice. 4.4. Eyes with raised pupils

If the outer corner of the eye is long and pointed, you have a smart and insightful person.

Note
Eyes somewhat different in shape belong to a passionate person.

Eyes close to each other mean idealism, often even fanaticism, devotion to one's own ideas and betray a person who knows how to listen and understand. Eyes that are far apart from each other, on the contrary, are inherent in people who are practical, principled and strong-willed. If wide-set eyes are also large, then you have an energetic, reliable and sociable person, often possessing a pronounced aptitude for languages.

Note
The look can be different: in love and indifferent, interested and empty, etc. Remember a few simple rules by which you can determine its character. The business look is fixed in the area of ​​the interlocutor's forehead, the secular one falls below the level of his eyes (to the level of the lips), the intimate one is directed not into the eyes of the interlocutor, but below the face - to other parts of the body up to the level of the chest. A sidelong glance indicates a critical or suspicious attitude towards the interlocutor.

Eyelids

By examining the eyelids, you can also get some information. So, if the upper eyelid is slightly lowered (Fig. 4.5), in front of you is a wise, but tired of life person.

Rice. 4.5. Eyes with drooping eyelids

A large lower eyelid (Fig. 4.6) is often found in dissolute people, and too sagging (Fig. 4.7) indicates an inability to control one's own actions.

Rice. 4.6. Eyes with large lower eyelids

Rice. 4.7. Eyes with sagging lower lids

Such people should beware. Here are the wrinkles outer corners eyes speak of intuition and experience, not without reason such eyes are often called penetrating.

Note
According to legend, Hippocrates used physiognomy for medical diagnostics (until now in medicine they use the concept of "Hippocratic mask", which means a characteristic facial expression of a patient with peritonitis). If the eyes are bright and clear, then there is no reason to worry. But when they are dull, without shine, their movements are slow, the pupils are constantly constricted or dilated, and the eyelids are heavy - all this indicates any disturbances in the body.

End of Free Trial

It reflects the degree of sensitivity, spiritual depth and inner content.

On an ideal face, all three zones are balanced and proportional. This means that all facial features are not too long or short, not too small or large, and not defective. But such faces are rare. Therefore, in order to correctly understand a person by the face, you need to figure out which zone of the three is more clearly reflected. And knowing this, we can guess what drives a person - instinctiveness, sensitivity or intelligence. Moreover, we will get a more accurate description if we manage to rank the zones, that is, determine for each its own place - the first, second or third largest.

At the beginning of the 20th century, one of the experts in the study of the face, K. Huter, proposed 9 options for the ratio of the parts of the face, by which one can determine the temperament and character of a person. Below we give these ratios, designating each of the zones with letter symbols: I - intellectual, E - emotional, V - vital.

1. Forehead, middle and lower parts of the face of the same height:

I \u003d E \u003d B

A person with such a face has a harmonious balance between the physiological and emotional-intellectual spheres. Activity, the desire for pleasure and a sense of joy are associated with his mental function. Truthfulness, cheerfulness and love for work are inherent in him. He is cordial, at ease, but reserved, lively and sociable; has a developed sense of self-worth.

2. The forehead and lower part of the face are equal, and the middle part is somewhat longer:

I \u003d V, E\u003e I, E\u003e V.

A long nose does not lead to disharmony of forms, since they are quite refined and distinguished by sensitivity and nobility. Such a person is representative, possesses endurance and talent, forming, on the whole, a harmoniously noble essence.

3. The forehead is high, the middle and lower parts of the face are small:

I > E, I > B, E = B.

He is a man of thought and feeling. He is simple and modest, possesses intuition, gentle in feelings, prone to disinterestedness, self-denial and sacrifice, true to his ideal. Activity and a thirst for pleasure in such a person lag behind, and mental depth is combined with honesty.

4. The forehead is longer than the nose, and the nose is longer than the lower jaw:

I > E > V.

A person with such proportions is characterized by a high spirit, which intelligently regulates feelings and instincts and at the same time serves lofty life ideals.

The first four variants of persons can be combined into one group - such people are distinguished by their desire for harmony, creativity and development, they are guided by success in any business that they undertake, optimists.

5. The forehead is small, the middle and lower parts of the face are larger:

And< Э, И < В, Э = В.

It's rough and impulsive person, whose strength and will prevail over feelings and reason. He shows courage and inquisitiveness, possesses aggressiveness and great strength convictions, prone to recklessness, very demanding of himself.

6. The forehead is short, the middle part of the face is somewhat longer, the lower part is even longer:

And< Э < В.

Massive and soft Bottom part face speaks of a thirst for pleasure. All thought and mental activity such a person is focused on it. He is practical, conservative in his views, not inclined to change places. He has no spiritual and emotional ups. It is difficult to stir it up, but if it succeeds, it is just as difficult to stop it.

The fifth and sixth variants of faces are combined into the second group (most likely, these are pessimists), they are found in people oriented to real life, these are people who are strong in everything - both in activity, and at rest, and in enjoyment.

7. The forehead and lower part of the face are large, and the nose is small:

I \u003d B, I\u003e E, V\u003e E.

This is a highly intelligent person, while striving for pleasure. He is kind, gentle and impressionable. He has a warm heart, emotional empathy and career difficulties.

This type of person occupies an intermediate position between the first two groups.

8. The forehead and middle part of the face are short, and the bottom is longer:

I \u003d E, I< В, Э < В.

This is strong-willed person with a sharp and cold intellect, achieving more than his physical abilities allow. He does not recognize tenderness, is strict and pedantic. Along with outstanding abilities, he shows negative tendencies.

9. The forehead and lower part of the face are long, the nose is too small and snub-nosed:

I \u003d B, I\u003e E, V\u003e E.

The mind and feelings of this person are strong and expended unbridled. He is aggressive, arrogant and quick-tempered, has a penetrating power and is internally anarchic. The work lacks discipline and patience. Possessing high intelligence, he is quite caustic and critical, but he himself cannot eliminate the shortcomings and create something better.

The forehead represents on the face:

• career
• intelligence
• the older generation
• age from 15 to 30 years
• good luck
• inheritance
• inner views
• thoughts

The hairline also matters. If you divide the forehead into three equal parts, then you can see the level of development of logic, memory and calculation.

forehead width

narrow forehead speaks of a quick reaction, but such a person is easy to anger and, it is easy for him to get confused in love problems.

Broad forehead speaks of a polite, quick-witted, intelligent person who first thinks and then acts.

If forehead not smooth, it means career difficulties, hard work, difficult childhood, poor health. The owner of such a forehead is easy to get into an accident situation, it is easy to get confused in business matters and, most likely, he will experience difficulties between the ages of 15 and 30 years.

If forehead smooth he says he has a good childhood, good health, wonderful social life, high chances of promotion. Such a person will easily achieve his goals up to 30 years.

forehead shape

high forehead- good chances for development, excellent logic, support of the older generation and ancestors, intelligence, anxiety and, alas, loneliness. Low forehead - respectively, poor chances for development, weak logic, stupidity and disappointment.

square edge hairline speaks of good abilities, realism, honesty and good fighting spirit.
edge of hair in the shape of the letter M- betrays a pioneer with good intuition and self-control. Such a person is doomed to fame, especially if the forehead is also convex.

round edge hair speaks of a good memory, but an unstable (female) character. High bald patches on the forehead belong to travelers, people who love change and movement. They are distinguished by intelligence, logic, strong self-motivation. Sometimes the hairline is not even, it speaks of insufficient parental care.

forehead profile

If you look at the forehead in profile, you can see convex(aggressive) forehead, telling us about the mind, good communication skills and good chances for promotion. Flat the forehead belongs to a wise man with good self-control and foresight. negative, or concave forehead, indicates an unsuccessful career and problems with money.

I think it's time to offer you a small express analysis of the face of a famous person.

Valentin Kataev

What can you tell about this man by the shape of his face?
Wise, understanding, has a sharp memory, intuition, quick reaction, good fighting spirit, luck. Subtly feels other people, self-confident, a bright leader.

The most beautiful and largest part of the face is the forehead. He tells us about a good childhood, the ability to communicate well with older people, love for parents. This is the forehead of a pioneer and experimenter who loves change and movement. Congenital intuition (6th sense), support of ancestors. Pronounced intellectual mindset. This is a thinker, inclined to analyze everything. Think first, then do. Bibliographic memory, excellent erudition.

As for COMMUNICATION, ( , ) - he was a man with an excellent sense of humor, healthy, one might say. Attention to detail is what characterizes these eyes. I liked order in everything. He liked to show himself, he easily learned everything new. Had special relationship with women. He was more forgiving towards them. And in general, there was a lot of feminine in his character, hence, I think, the softness and beauty of presentation.
