Portrait marked with the nine face palaces

Your face is divided into nine palaces — career, love, wealth, influence and more. Each one shows where your luck is flowing right now, and where it's blocked.

Drawn from the classical twelve palaces of Chinese face reading and refined by the readers who came after, each palace maps one part of your life: Career, Opportunity, Love, Strength, Vitality, Wealth, Second Act, Influence and Popularity. Your reading shows the state of each palace right now — and because your face changes, your luck can change too.

Read My Nine Palaces

Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water — every person is born as one of five types. Just enter your birthday to discover your true nature, your strengths, and the people you click with most.

The Five Elements are one of the oldest ideas in Chinese thought, and each type has its own distinct traits. Your element tells you who you are: your temperament, how you deal with people and life, and where your strengths lie. Your Nine Palaces show your fortune; your element shows who you are. A personality quiz only knows what you tell it — the answer is who you think you are. Your birth reveals your true nature. And because the five elements feed and shape one another, your element also reveals your people: who opens doors for you, who you bring out the best in, who pushes you to grow, and who works best by your side.

INVITE YOUR BLESSING

In China, a lucky charm is never simply bought — it is invited. And it must be invited with an offering. Feeling sincere is not enough: sincerity is shown by what you give. A charm that is copied, shared or taken for free carries no blessing. Invite it for yourself, or let someone who loves you invite it for you — their offering carries their wish to you.

Rooted in Taoist talismans and seals, the Luck-Turning Talisman is drawn to strengthen your luck. At the top, the three hooks call on the Three Pure Ones; at its heart, the ancient character for good fortune; beneath, the eight trigrams that hold heaven and earth in balance. When your luck feels stuck, or things just don't feel right, invite one home and keep it on your screen to help turn your luck around.
