Face reading

Varahamihira judges a person on twelve things — body, complexion, voice, strength, joints, gloss, colour, facial character, height, weight, disposition and gait. A photograph honestly gives four of them, and the reading says which four it is working from rather than implying all twelve.

Your own face, front-on, in good light, with nothing covering it. A photograph with more than one person in it is refused before it is read — we have no way to know the other person agreed.

Your photograph is never stored, here or on our server. It is read once and discarded; only the words are kept, and you can delete them below. The reading will not name an illness or a deficiency, and it does not read moles — a blood level is not visible in a photograph, and a mole is a question for a doctor.
