The Jaw

Your jaw, as well as being proportionate, should be carved with firmness. That firmness is a vital measure of your consistency and determination in life. If it ids too pronounced you’ll more than likely enjoy success but may find it hard to share those successes with others.

As you’ve seen from the Chinese system of dating and timing on your face the jawline has special reference to the later years of your life.

Issues of security and life fulfillment are also seen from the type and shape of jaw you own. It’s very important for a future reading to see the style of jaw you possess -–important for understanding whether fulfillment and stability will be yours. To capitalise on what you have achieved in life, a good jawline is necessary.

Your maturity, strength, stamina and even your status to a large extent, can be gauged from your jaw. Remember that the cheeks also have a large bearing on your status and achievement. Therefore the cheeks and the chin are mutually supportive in your understanding of either feature.

The square, broad and notably strong jawline is associated with those of powerful will. If you study people with strong grit and determination, you’ll invariably find strength prominence and width in the jawline. It means you’re a straight forward, hard working individual and possess integrity. 

The squarish chin usually augments the square mesomorphic or ligamentous temperament and will therefore highlight other characteristics which were mentioned in the earlier chapter on the basic character shapes. 

In the mesomorph, and therefore in a square broad jawline, you’ll find great reserves of physical strength on which to draw upon. Outdoor activities and physical exertion are excellent ways in which you can hormones your vital energies.

You’re a very honourable person and place great emphasis on loyalty.

If you fall into this category (broad jaw) your main area of self-improvement ought to be focused on your emotional expression. Feelings, or at least their demonstration, may cause you some discomfort. Communicating your own emotional needs or listening to the needs of your parter are areas that will help you grow spiritually if you learn the art. 

You have a wealth of experience and richness of spirit which others love to share with you in your offering it to them. The more you taste the joy of communication the easier it will become.

Though width is an asset, where your jaw is concerned, if excessively broad it’s a disadvantage. You’ll know you have an excessively wide jawline if from a front on view the outer extremities of the jaw extend beyond the line of the ears.

When your jaw is disproportionately large in comparison to the rest of your face, you come across as a demanding and aggressive person. You like to assert yourself in the workplace and use your authority to get your way.

Just be sure you have been delegated that authority first or you may find a lot of retaliation from your peers. One Nation Party leader Pauline Hanson has a very strong and moderately disproportionate jawline.

In identifying yourself as a person with a pronounced jaw, take heart. There are some positive attributes and these can be established by utilising some of the techniques of modern, Western physiognomy. 

If the middle of the jaw region (directly beneath the cheek on the jawline) is firm and well formed, your nature is stable, patient and enduring.

If you possess a developed jawline, you will persevere in your work and tasks. According to Western face readers, the primary characteristics to be read from the jaw include firmness, stability, stubbornness (depending on the extend of development) and determination. The opposite characteristics will be noticeable if your jaw is undeveloped.

If the characteristic of resolving and determination are reflected in your jaw, – you’ll see things through to the end and exhibit a positive disposition even during times of difficulty. 

When the jaw is overdeveloped though, your perseverance may blind you to the obvious failure of an enterprise or pathway and this reflects your blinker vision when it comes to taking timely advice from others.

Policemen, security officers and others requiring hardness of character including sports people, often have well-developed jaws.

Let’s not overlook the more rounded, softer looking jawline which, if yours is like this, indicates your more easygoing and social disposition. Depending on the firmness of your round chin, you will be moderately or overly easygoing. 

That is to say, if your jaw is too fleshy or flabby – and has say a double chin, then excessive living and lack of discipline will be reflected.

Generally, you prefer the solitude of family and home life, but don’t think this precludes you from enjoying the company of others. The rounded chin and jawline fall into the category of the endomorphic, round shaped face and so many of the qualities described earlier will apply to you.

One drawback with the rounded jaw is that inspiration and even motivation may require the input of others to kickstart you. That easy going nature may at times translate into procrastination. But, with other positive facial characteristics, you’ll be able to use your affable manner in a most positive and rewarding way.

The tapering jawline implies a more pointed chin and seems to be the darling of modern fashion and beauty magazines. It’s in truth, very reflective of the vain and narcissistic nature of the modeling industry. In many ways, our own self-worth is shaped by what these magazines and fashion/cosmetic companies deem to be an acceptable view of beauty. It’s especially true with younger women. 

As a result of the way our own view of beauty is conditioned, it’s no wonder that the tapering jaw (and chin) is generally lucky for success – especially in a professional way. Your tapering jaw means you’re always helped by friends and co-workers in achieving your goals. You’ll always be popular with others and seem to make a good impact at the right time. 

It’s not quite as satisfying for you later in life and may even herald some decline in your health – loss of stability and strength. Because of this you may find your successes don’t quite satisfy you (after all of that!)

A similar jaw is one which is narrow. This means you harbour considerable frustration. As was described the Western system earlier, a developed firm and prominent jaw adds power and authority to its owner. If on the other hand that strength is lacking, your authority or assertiveness may also lack. 

You’ll need to work on presenting your views and taking charge of your life in a slightly more forceful manner if you’re to fully satisfy your life purpose.
