In this guide to forehead face reading, you will learn what the tradition says. The forehead is the first area a face reader looks at. In fact, in Samudrik Shastra and Chinese face reading, it relates to thinking style, learning, and the early part of life. Overall, this guide covers what a big forehead, a broad, narrow or rounded forehead is traditionally said to show.
Face reading of the forehead: big or high forehead
A high, wide forehead relates to intellect, vision and a thoughtful, planning mind. Likewise, in face reading, a big forehead suggests curiosity and a love of ideas. A very large forehead can also suggest someone who thinks long before acting.
Face reading of the forehead: broad forehead
Also, a broad forehead suggests openness and generosity of thought. In addition, in Indian tradition it relates to Jupiter, the planet of learning.
Narrow or low forehead
In fact, a narrow or low forehead suggests practical and action-oriented: someone who prefers doing to theorising. This is a style, not a limitation.
Rounded vs flat forehead
Similarly, a rounded forehead suggests creativity and imagination. Likewise, a flatter forehead suggests logic, structure and directness.
Lines on the forehead
For example, horizontal lines relate to experience and responsibility; they appear with age and expression. Traditional readers treat them as signs of how you handle thinking and stress.
Forehead in Chinese face reading
In addition, in Chinese mian xiang, the forehead is the upper zone and describes early life and family support. In fact, see the Chinese face reading guide.
Read your face as a whole
No single feature decides a reading. Similarly, traditional readers look at balance across the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips and chin, and then at the birth chart. Likewise, start with our complete guide to face reading astrology or try a free face reading online.
