12 Facial Palaces
The Twelve Facial Palaces in Chinese Face Reading: Locations & Meanings
Sharing the exact same names as the twelve palaces of Zi Wei Dou Shu, the Twelve Facial Palaces map key life domains—career, wealth, home, and marriage—directly onto specific zones of your face.
TianJiGe Editorial TeamUpdated
The most frequently read facial palaces are the Life Palace (between the eyebrows), Wealth Palace (nose tip and wings), Career Palace (center forehead), Property Palace (space between brow and eye), Marriage Palace (outer eye corners/temples), and Children Palace (under-eye area). Read them by checking proportion, smoothness, and current skin radiance.
The four core palaces: Life, Wealth, Career, and Property
**Life Palace (Yin Tang — between the brows)**: An open, bright space about two fingers wide signals clarity, resilience, and good current momentum.
**Wealth Palace (Nose tip and wings)**: A rounded tip and well-defined wings reflect steady earning and saving habits.
**Career Palace (Center of the forehead)**: Smooth and open forehead proportion reflects planning capacity and early mentor support.
**Property Palace (Upper eyelid between brow and eye)**: A calm, spacious brow-to-eye zone points to domestic stability and comfort.
Relationship and vitality palaces: Marriage, Children, Siblings, and Health
**Marriage Palace (Outer eye corners / temples)**: Smooth, bright temples reflect harmony in close partnerships.
**Children Palace (Lower eyelid / 'silkworm' roll)**: Indicates vitality, warmth, and creative expression.
**Siblings Palace (Eyebrows)** & **Health Palace (Mountain Root at the nose bridge)**: Show peer rapport and physical stamina.

How to Get Started
- 1Take a clear, front-facing photo in natural light with your forehead and temples visible.
- 2Check the Life Palace (between the brows) first for overall openness and brightness.
- 3Locate the specific palace matching your question (Nose for Wealth, Temples for Marriage, Brow-to-Eye for Home).
- 4Upload your photo to the AI Face & Palm reader for a connected analysis.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing tired under-eye bags with a healthy Children Palace.
- Looking at the chin for the Property Palace (the Property Palace sits between the eyebrows and eyes; the chin governs later-life stability).
- Panicking over temporary acne on the nose or brow—which simply signals stress or lack of sleep.
