In this guide to eye face reading, you will learn what the tradition says. In face reading, the eyes are the most expressive feature. Samudrik Shastra links them with feelings, attention and how you connect with people, while Chinese face reading calls them the “palace of the spirit”. Overall, here is what eye reading traditionally says about eye shape and size.
Face reading of the eye: big eyes
Big eyes in face reading relate to openness, emotional expressiveness and curiosity. Likewise, such people come across as warm and easy to read, sometimes sensitive to their surroundings.
Face reading of the eye: small eyes
For example, small eyes suggest focused, observant and private. Also, the tradition describes a careful mind that notices detail and does not reveal everything at once.
Face reading of the eye: round eyes
In addition, round eyes suggest an open, friendly nature and a youthful curiosity.
Almond eyes
In fact, almond-shaped eyes relate to balance, charm and a thoughtful way of relating to others.
Deep-set eyes
Deep-set eyes suggest reflective and analytical, someone who thinks before speaking.
Wide-set and close-set eyes
Similarly, wide-set eyes relate to a broad view and patience. Likewise, close-set eyes relate to focus on details and goals.
Clarity matters
For example, traditional readers pay as much attention to the clarity and steadiness of the gaze as to shape. A calm, clear gaze suggests inner steadiness.
Read your face as a whole
In addition, no single feature decides a reading. In fact, traditional readers look at balance across the forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips and chin, and then at the birth chart. Start with our complete guide to face reading astrology or try a free face reading online.
