Your Face Tells All, Part 11
Predicting your Future...

Wisdom, fortune, manner, habits, luck, profession, marriage, family, love life, life, etc., for most Thai people are under the influence of their birth time, and are evidenced by palm lines, fingerprints, facial features, moles, birthmarks, etc. For these reasons, fortune tellers use some of these characteristics to predict the futures of their clients.

Various marks are classified by our ancient hermit into three different anatomical categories:

• Mole ("Fhai") a small black bead on a person's skin.
• Birthmark ("Bpaan") flat, discolored portions of skin, which may be thick or thin, red or black, which were present at birth. A birthmark can also sometimes be hairy.
• Freckles ("Khee Maeng Wan") small spotted skin discoloration which may have been present at birth, but also might be caused by excessive exposure to the sun, or by aging. The fortunetellers, however, do not pay attention to freckles in making their predictions.

This man has had a difficult background which is, perhaps, not surprising as there is a lot of negativity in his character. But he does not realize this as he tends to shun work, or anything serious, and go for the easy options. He is not the marrying type so will reside at his parent's home, even during his mature years, as he knows they will take care of him. A "busy bee" as far as the ladies are concerned, he will sample many flowers but, lacking in wisdom and sincerity, he will not know where or when to settle.

Such a girl has a great beginning in life with many creature comforts and a circle of good friends. Unfortunately, most friends, and things of value, are eventually squandered due to erratic, emotional behavior. Friends drift away, including boyfriends, as they sense they are being used and money evaporates as tries to cling to a glamorous lifestyle. From great beginnings, the facade of this lady's life slowly crumbles.

This is a man who knows more about love than lust. Very definitely against any form of gambling, he is a serious, caring, gentle person whose life will generally run smoothly. He is a devoted husband, maybe a little under active in the marriage bed, who adores his wife and family. Also, as a community worker, he will do all he can to encourage those less fortunate and society, in turn, will grow to recognize him as an important public figure. A good, steady life.

Our lady here is a sincere, genuine person but life can play a trick on her. She is a humble, hardworking girl who never wants to be a bother to anyone and, thanks to her industry and diligence, she becomes financially sound with a good reputation for doing her duty. The trick life plays is that, despite all of her excellent qualities, she will have difficulty in finding a husband. She wants this very much, perhaps too much, as her eagerness scares suitors away.

One of nature's nice guys with great charisma and personality. He is popular with male friends as well as the ladies and genuinely enjoys being with other people. In the process, he will win many hearts and sees this pendulum in his life as being something of a challenge. Very positive by nature, a good talker but maybe a little showy, he will find favor with supportive relatives and friends. He also enjoys a good financial return on his efforts and eventually will be a major beneficiary in someone's will. The wisdom of years will allow him to assess his checkered life and he will settle in the domestic situation he finds most comfortable.

Our Ancient Hermit is reluctant to reveal this lady's forecast because the end result will be totally undeserved. By nature she is lazy, malicious, selfish, spiteful and cunning. However, on the surface she is pure "Hollywood" travel, fine clothes and gifts from gentlemen friends all come her way because she offers an allure to all who come in contact with her. This person is the proverbial "femme fatale" or "gold digger" and, as it happens, she will inherit handsomely in later life from someone who forgot to change his will.

This individual has great charisma, personality and a lot of luck which almost deserts him in later years. Talented and a hard worker, he thinks positively (especially about himself), confronts problems head on and gradually rises to firm financial security. Ladies seek out his company and he is thoroughly at home as he enjoys the high life of luxury, fashion and his companions. In later life, a "windfall" will come his way (possibly Stocks or Shares) but a bad decision will dramatically reverse his fortune. With just enough left for modest comfort, he will reflect on the "Snakes & Ladders" of life and be at peace with himself.

This is a lady who, even if she fell down a sewer, will always smell of roses. By nature, she is intelligent, hardworking and ambitious. She comes from an affluent background which catapults her into a life of success and recognition, however, she is also pretentious, uncaring and given to violent temper tantruns. This makes her many gentleman friends wary of too close an involvement so they tend to regard her as a good time"Bunny Girl". But, despite not having a permanent man in her life, fortunes dictates that she will continue to "laugh all the way to the Bank".
