Hi
Thought you may be interested in another article by Joey Yap, CEO Mastery Academy of Malaysia on Face Reading.
It’s a toss between the world’s two top footballers, and Ronaldo nets gold with his longer neck.
SKILLS, jerseys and team spirit aside, the FIFA World Cup 2010 is a decorated rostrum on which stands two men – Argentinian forward Lionel Messi, and Portugal glamour boy Cristiano Ronaldo.
In the epic battle between these two great football talents, who shines brighter?
Show pony Ronaldo is dangerous, controversial and makes your pulse race. He holds the distinction of being the most expensive player in football history after his £80mil (RM400mil) transfer from Manchester United to Real Madrid.
Messi, Argentina’s Player of the Year, is the real reason many play football. This divine Messi-ah has won nearly every accolade in football except for a World Cup title and has been publicly anointed by coach and football legend Diego Maradona as his successor.
Brawn, not brains: Cristiano Ronaldo’s short forehead shows that he’s not a thinker.
While Ronaldo hasn’t netted an international goal in 16 months (save for the one against North Korea on June 22), the ever-fashionable captain of the Portugese team is still exalted as a menacing force.
How do both players score in terms of style, fortune and character?
Who has better luck?
In face reading, always look at the person’s face qi and eye spirit to determine whether he is having good fortune.
Both Ronaldo and Messi have strong eye spirit, which means they’re currently in good form. Face qi-wise, Messi has a slight advantage, as there is a glow on his countenance.
Messi’s eyes are triangle; strong eye spirit in peepers shaped like that belong to warriors or people who know how to seize the moment.
While Ronaldo’s eye spirit is also sharp, his eyes aren’t triangle. So, in terms of grabbing opportunities, Messi has the edge.
Score: Messi 1, Ronaldo 0
Heart and mind alike: Lionel Messi’s straight eyebrows show that he doesn’t let emotion get in the way.
Who will do better this year?
In face reading, we always add one year to a person’s age for the nine months spent in the womb. Ronaldo’s Chinese age would be 26, an age point governed by the left temple, diagonally above the eyebrows. Notice that his hairline sticks out at both the temple points. This spells obstacles this year and the next.
When Ronaldo frowns, he has a line locked between his eyes (age point 28). Combine this with his bulging fortune and virtue palace (area just above the eyebrows) and we can deduce that his career will undergo challenges in the next two years before improving.
Ronaldo’s life palace (the area between the eyes) is sunken, denoting a person who may give up in the face of too many challenges.
Messi’s present Chinese age is 24, a point denoted in his sky horse palace (the two corners of the forehead). That area is high and fleshy, indicating positive luck this year.
Messi’s Position 17 and 18 on the forehead, also known as the “Corner and son of moon” are clearly bulging, representing noble people and helpful mentors. He clearly has a mentor in Maradona.
He also has a spacious life palace and a high nose bridge, indicating a positive outlook on life and a strong sense of determination.
The Messi-ah is only ρve-feet-seven, the result of growth hormone deficiency.
There is a Chinese saying that the man who is three feet tall is always more vicious. This means that the shorter man is usually more cunning and has tricks up his sleeves. That is why we see Messi scoring the goals this year.
Score: Messi 1, Ronaldo 0
Style of play
In terms of style, Ronaldo and Messi are as different as day and night.
Ronaldo has a short forehead, indicating one who isn’t much of a thinker. He is better off using his strength and being action-oriented, and certainly delivers on this end.
He also has an M-shaped forehead, which means his play is peppered with ingenious creativity. Whatever he lacks in warfare, he certainly makes up for with exotic play. One can expect lots of flair, intricate movements and sizzling overtures on the pitch. Simplicity isn’t his style.
Ronaldo’s eyebrows are thick, long and arched upwards. These are good features for a sportsman as they indicate fighting spirit and a warrior’s aggression.
Cheeks, also known as the power bones, are an extremely important feature in leaders. Basically, they reveal a person’s ability to maintain good relationships.
Ronaldo’s cheeks are bony and lacking in flesh. As the Portugese captain, he may be less successful in inspiring his teammates.
Messi, on the hand, is quite the opposite. He has an extremely high forehead, small and long eyes, along with a cleft on his chin. Here, you have a skilful player who strategises and thinks.
Messi’s cleft sits on a sharp chin. Normally, people with clefts are considered artists known for their unique styles. Hence, Messi will be remembered by more people in the long run.
Eyes that are small and long belong to planners and tacticians, who have the blueprint of the game in their heads.As small-eyed people tend not to reveal their thoughts, Messi’s style is much simpler.
He’s not interested in putting on a show or dazzling fans with fancy footwork. Quite simply, his goal is to make the impossible possible.
Messi also has straight eyebrows – known as the one-character eyebrow – which means the heart and mind are in accord. He will not allow emotions to get in the way of his goal.As a team player, he is also better than Ronaldo – note his ears, set close to his head. Ronaldo’s ears jut out and, like his personality, indicate a more showy character who enjoys basking in glory.
So, again, our bets are on Messi.
Score: Messi 1, Ronaldo 0
Wealth and fortune
Influence-wise, Ronaldo’s star power is clear to see. When he smiles, his laughter lines are deep. Why, there appears to be triple laughter lines! He also has lines extending from his children’s palace (the eyebags area), which again denotes a great following and influence.
Messi also has lines extending from the children’s palace, although these aren’t as obvious as Ronaldo’s. Hence, while Messi may be the better player, Ronaldo has better star power, and better earning power. He will continue to captivate and capture the hearts of adoring fans.
Ronaldo’s neck is thick and long. He resembles the main character in the movie Avatar, with his relatively smaller head and thick neck!The neck is an extremely important feature as it is the heavenly pillar that connects the body to the head.
Ronaldo’s neck indicates great prosperity. In terms of the six mansions of wealth, he fulfils nearly all the criteria, particularly in the Man mansion (mid face). Ronaldo has better jawbones, compared to Messi’s.
This clearly indicates that Ronaldo has greater wealth-generating capacity. The only problem may be his features, which are more yang than yin.
His face is generally not fleshy; it looks like there’s skin wrap aound his bones.
The yang features in a person’s face are the mountains: the nose, chin, cheeks and forehead. Meanwhile, the yin features are the flesh that covers the mountains.
As Ronaldo lacks yin energy, he may face problems in maintaining relationships with team mates, sponsors or partners. This is compounded by his short forehead.
Messi has what is known as the “Shen character” face – one with a narrower forehead and chin. Ronaldo has the “Mu character” face, which is square or round, from the forehead downwards.
Messi has a broad Man mansion; this indicates that wealth during his middle age will be very good. But his chin is sharp; in old age, he might not be able to retain his wealth.
But this doesn’t mean that the Messi-ah will end up a pauper. Note his double chin, which spells insurance. Hence, he will still have a good life when he’s old.
Messi has a bulging wealth palace (the nose) that is supported by his cheeks. His high and broad forehead also denotes a bright footballing career.
His head is bigger than Ronaldo’s. A bigger head equals bigger success, although this may not translate into cash.
Messi also has a less wealthy face, compared to Ronaldo’s. His mouth is smaller and thinner. A big mouth is not a prerequisite for wealth, but it certainly denotes influence and following.
Nowadays, sportsmen need lots of influence to gain sponsorships and represent brands. Messi may be the better player, but his branding capabilities cannot match Ronaldo’s.
Messi does not care what the world thinks, apart from being able to play football. Ronaldo, however, soaks in the fame and enjoys being known as a sex symbol.
We are not saying Messi will not be wealthy – he certainly has the wealth features. However, he may not capitalise on it as much as David Beckham or Ronaldo has, and hence, become less of a global icon.
So fortune-wise, Ronaldo wins hands down.
Score: Ronaldo 1, Messi 0
The total score is 3:1, in Messi’s favour. Does this mean that he is the overall winner?
Not necessarily. Although Messi is the better and more serious player, Ronaldo has the wealth, influence and looks. His indulgent lips are another sign that he gives in to his desires and enjoys life.
In the study of Chinese Metaphysics, the meaning of life is to be happy. In Mian Xiang terms, Ronaldo has the happier face.
Thus, the real winner in the arena of life would be the Portugese pin-up boy!

I would like to share this interesting article with you. It is written by Joey Yap CEO of Mastery Academy, Global Writer on Chinese Metaphysics and World Renowned Speaker. He is also my Feng Shui Master.
MICROSOFT founder Bill Gates and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs are both American magnates who command the respect of the world with the paradigm-shifting inventions their companies have developed.
Gates is almost single-handedly responsible for the revolution in personal computing, which began with the launch of the retail version of the Microsoft Windows computer operating system on Nov 20, 1985. Since 1995, he has consistently remained in the upper regions of any “richest American men” list you can think of.
This year, Gates, 55, is the second richest man listed on Forbes’ magazine’s annual list with US$53bil (RM173.84bil).
Meanwhile, Job’s US$5bil (RM16.4bil) net wealth may be nowhere close to Gates’ gold mine, but he is the ultimate icon of the idiosyncratic and individualistic Silicon Valley entrepreneur.
Battle of the techies: Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates (below) are highly intelligent and good at accumalating wealth – but one of them will enjoy that wealth along with good health while the other will struggle with ailments.
He is presently invading the world with the launch of the iPhone 4 last week, on June 24; it was the best product launch in the history of Apple Inc, according to news reports earlier this week.
Recently, Jobs predicted that personal computers running on Microsoft Windows operating systems are in permanent decline.
Does this mean it’s the end of Gates empire?
Gates’ window on the world
Based on face reading, the answer is no.
Gates’ current age point is denoted in the mouth area – and he has a big and wide mouth with good flags.
Remember what we said previously? “Bigger mouth, bigger say”. Well, Gates’ huge mouth definitely means an abundance of influence, power and respect. As a non-executive chairman, he may no longer play an active role in Microsoft now, but his reputation and clout is far from diminishing.
Bill Gates
With that sort of mouth, people tend to listen to and obey him – a good thing too, because he wants things his way!
Notice too, that Gates has bell shaped laughter lines (wide and deep but shaped like a bell) – these are the best type to have because they indicate a person who commands huge respect and has huge authority. The other lines on the sides of the face that go all the way up – guan jong wen – reinforces this, as they mean mass public support.
Gates also has a classic lion’s nose, which is an entrepreneur’s nose. The nose itself is quite large, but not disproportionate to the rest of the face.
The nose wings are wide, denoting the ability to generate wealth from a variety of sources. The tip of the nose is particularly bulbous and, most importantly, dips down, indicating excellent business acumen and a sharp financial mind.
Gates nose is also well-supported by his cheeks. This denotes that he has a very good right-hand man and close aides to help him achieve his goals and support his wealth generation efforts. That is why, even with Gates taking a lesser role, you don’t see the company crumbling, or shareholders turning jittery.
His wealth is also a result of his wisdom – he has a high forehead. Gates is a thinker, one who is always analysing and strategising.
His chin is prominent and bulges out. This is an extremely important feature for people in today’s cutthroat business world. A chin like this means wealth and career positions that are established and rock steady.
In business, this means that Gates is firm in his decisions and cannot be swayed without a very good reason.
As his eyebrows do not extend across the length of his eye, they could be be regarded as short. This denotes someone who is unsentimental and merciless and who prefers to count on himself rather than depend on others. Short eyebrows belong to people who prefer to be unencumbered by partners.
His eyebrows are also straight and do not arch at all. This means someone who has a consistent personality and is focused and determined. The straightness also indicates that Gates believes in measured responses and that he likes to observe a situation before jumping in or taking action.
That is why Microsoft is not as aggressive or as “boat-rocking” as Apple in terms of its product line-ups.
While Microsoft has sometimes been slow to enter a particular area of technology, once Gates does decide to enter the fray, he will have thought out all the angles and have a clear vision of emerging victorious.
For example, Microsoft allowed the Netscape Navigator to establish itself as a browser before deciding to get into a “browser war” with its own Internet Explorer – and we all know how that ended, don’t we?
To sum it up, Gates six “mansions of wealth” position is very prominent and meaty, which means great wealth. The wealth mansion points are two points each on the forehead, the cheeks and the lower chin area.
He also has a square face, or field face character, that is very symmetrical and proportionate. This shows that Gates is of the earth element. Typically, most wealthy people have earth-shaped faces.
Gates eyes are also very strong. He has glossy and spirited eyes, which are known as “noble dragon” eyes. Couple these eyes with his lion nose, and you have a person with full power, authority and wealth.
Furthermore, his chin is squarish and long, which represents a very wealthy and prosperous old age.
Applemania is Jobs
If there’s anyone who can create a new culture, its Jobs, the co-founder (with Steve Wozniak) of Apple Inc and the man who made Pixar Studios into an Academy-award winner.
Wealth-wise, it is clear to see: Jobs has a very good nose, with wide nostrils and a downward-dipping nose bulb, indicating someone who is very savvy financially and in wealth generation.
If we compare the amount of creativity reflected in Gates and Jobs’ faces, Jobs would appear to have the superior face.
His most prominent feature is his high and broad forehead. This indicates someone who is very intelligent. Analysing and solving puzzles is second nature to him. His forehead’s width also indicates that Jobs has had plenty of opportunities throughout his career – he has helpful people and “guiding angels” to push him to excel in his field.
His forehead also indicates he has a lot of creativity, as can be seen by how he turned Apple around with ground-breaking advertising campaigns and marketing techniques. Together with his small and long eyes, these are hallmarks of a very successful entrepreneur.
Job’s thick eyebrows go upwards like a warrior, a feature usually found on heroic personalities. They are courageous, principled and intelligent and are the sort who will fight for the rights of the oppressed.
Those eyebrows also indicate that Jobs has a very positive outlook on life, hence enabling him to fight cancer (he was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer in 2004) – and produce the best smart phone in the world, the iPhone, of course!
His protruding eyebrow bones mean he is more aggressive and will take on a more active role. He dares to stand out in the crowd and be different.
While Jobs may be better as a creative entrepreneur, Gates would be better as the leader. This is because Jobs’ sharp and long eyes indicate that he has an eye for detail. Couple this with the protruding eyebrows, and it is evident that he likes to be in control of everything.
Jobs eyes are also sharp yet sunken. Couple this with his thicker eyebrows, and it means that he knows how to find the right partner to help him. His eyebrows represent sibling and partnership palaces. He has the ability to find the right people at the right time.
Jobs also has the high-set ears that are a feature of people with high IQs.
His bulging fortune and virtue palace (the area above the eyebrows) indicates someone who is hard on himself and who is not contented because he is in constant pursuit of perfection.
That is why it is not surprising that Jobs is today listed as either primary inventor or co-inventor in over 230 awarded patents and patent applications.
Jobs, like Gates, is also 55 this year, so, similarly, his “age luck” is also in his mouth. Jobs’ mouth is wide, indicating influence and power.
However, he has been growing a scruffy sort of moustache of late that covers the fleshy part of the area above his lips – this may not be helpful.
In Mian Xiang (face reading) terms, a good face is one that is fleshy and has good qi. When a person has a fleshy face, he should not hide it under any facial hair.
Jobs has an oblong face, which is known as the “metal face” in Chinese metaphysics. Hair, on the other hand, is considered a wood element. When one has facial hair on a metal face, it is akin to “metal chopping wood”, which then creates sparks – and, hence, obstacles.
Notice, too, that Jobs has a narrower and shorter chin than Gates. This denotes a person who is more creative, but may suffer from health issues in his old age.
Jobs face is also gaunt. In face reading, hollowness and gaunt faces are never good features.
He is especially gaunt around the jaw and lower cheeks, meaning Jobs’ face does not fulfil the criteria for true wealth: when a person’s face is fleshy in all six of the mansions of wealth.
Who is doing better?
So, will Jobs survive his battle with his ongoing ill-health? He’s certainly got the determination and drive to do so. Furthermore, his eye spirit is strong, indicating that he is going through his good fortune cycle. However, the facial hair will continue to mean trials and tribulations.
Furthermore, Job’s fa-ling (laugh lines) do not cross the mouth even when he smiles. That means he will have continuing health problems before he turns 60.
To have a good life after 60, one needs deep and long fa-ling, good ear lobes and full eyebrows. Jobs ear lobes are not fleshy and while his eyebrows are strong, notice that they are sparse towards the end.
Hence, healthwise, Jobs may continue to face challenges.
Obviously, as Jobs has been single-handedly responsible for much of Apple’s success, his stepping down or demise will not be good for Apple Inc.
The fact that Apple may face challenges can be seen in Jobs’ sunken eyes (which indicate unhappiness) and bearded chin.
On the other hand, Windows will continue to flourish even without Gates. Gates has been improving with age. Gates face is meatier than Jobs’, which again shows that Gates has better fortune. To have true good fortune, one cannot be too thin.
Of course, good fortune is not just about money, it is also about health and love. So, as a whole, while Jobs may be the more creative entrepreneur and creates waves among techies worldwide, the person blessed with true good fortune – money, health and love – is Gates.

24th June 2010 Australia has its first female prime minister.
When we look at the Bazi charts of Kevin Rudd the 24th June was a destruction and an ungrateful punishment for him.
Whilst Julia Guillard had a combination on her Heavenly Stems to form metal and a 3 harmony combination on the Earthly branchs to form metal - metal relates to 7 killings (10 gods) and denotes position and status and able to command.
Good luck Julia!

Over the last few weeks I have come across many blocked entrances in my consults.This is just one of them. There is a high rate of turnover in this apartment block - tenants only staying the maximum period of the lease which is 6 months. As you can see the gum tree is blocking any positive Qi entering into the building which is only a few years old.
