Square Ears Personality

What do Square ears mean?

In my spiritual and face reading work I tend to find the people that have these ears are leaders, normally in business or own their own company. If you are wondering what face reading means if you have square ears then this type of ears in ancient chinese face reading is mainly about someone who stands in there own power. 

Because of the shape of these ears being slightly square, in face reading these people are respected and taken seriously when they have something important to say. There was a boss I once had about 20 years ago who had these shaped ears and I ended up carrying out a face reading for him which I was learning in my mediumship classes. The key thing that came out of this reading was that those with square shaped tip means you need to learn how to trust your intuition enough to share it with others.

What is the personality of those with square ears?

As I have already said before those with these ears are relatively successful, I find they have a rare kind of personality that should not be taken for granted. In face reading, people who show squares ears tend to be wiser beyond their years and very smart. They tend to know things that a person would not generally know and that is because for some reason these individuals enjoy learning about things which are different from the rest of what society would stereotypically learn.

If you know or love a person with square shaped ears, it is extremely important that you learn to trust what that their intellect has to offer as this will more than likely greatly improve your life on the whole. Some square eared people tend to gather much wealth in their life time as a result of putting money intelligently into investments which bring them joy, as a result they are good to learn from when it comes to putting money in intelligent places.

What are ears so important?

In my years of learning this, I have realized that ears are very special in Chinese physiognomy. The ears in Traditional texts I have translated and studied show the first twelve years of the life and are related to the kidneys in the traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy.

The reasoning is kind of surreal as well as practical. For one thing ears are what I call mobile, they are not like our mouth or eyes which change with emotion and expression, ears are not movable. The reason I mention this is because it makes them good indicators of our personality and character. Second, in the classical texts I have studied they link the ears to our ancestral fortune - zuxun (ZU Yin), or blessings passed down from our family. The square shape of your ears tells the story your ancestral roots which is written before you were born.

I find people tend to undervalue their ears. They focus on their nose and eyes. I think this is because these are the features they can see clearly in a mirror. But ears on either side of the head often escape self-examination. That's what makes them so frigging interesting: they are honest in a way features we constantly monitor can not be.

Square ears are more than just square ears. Rather it describes ears with pronounced angular contours at the top and bottom. Overall shape suggests geometry and structure, not curves.

From what I have observed in hundreds of clients square ears usually have these characteristics: firm, sharp edges; a good looking appearance; relatively proportionate size to the face; and occasionally a slight flattening of the ear cartilage. 

What Do They Tell Us About Personality?

In my experience with clients and classical face reading texts square ears signify a few core personality traits that have remained consistent.

  • Honesty: This is the first characteristic I notice. People with square ears are straight-forward seekers of truth. There was a lady that I use to work with (a lawyer with square ears) she was determined and this has led me to feel that those with square ears tend to be honest but more importantly take honesty seriously.
  • Practicality: Square ears are associated with being very practical for example in DIY.
  • Responsibility: I find square-eared people take on more responsibility than others, not because they want it, but because their instinct drives them. 
  • Determination: They don't give up easily on goals.

Are square ears negative?

I believe in balanced interpretation, all features of face reading have strengths and potential shadow sides. My students ask me this question often and I like the nuance.

Yes, the qualities of square ears can be negative if they are not symmetrical. That determination I spoke of can also become stubbornness. The practicality may become rigidity, an unwillingness to accept necessary change or imaginative possibility. The responsibility can become a burden, a burden when delegation would be wise.

In my consultations I've worked with people who saw their square-eared tendency to inflexibility and chose to be more open. One client, the square-eared accountant, studied poetry and improv to soften her more rigid expressions of her natural personality. She never changed her ears or her nature, but she balanced it all.

So this is what I try and convey: face reading is about more than being entrapped by your features. Instead, understanding them allows you work with your nature instead of against it.

Wealth and square ears

Square ears are connected with wealth accumulation, not through just luck. 

My sister is square-eared who works as a civil engineer, said that knowing that her ear shape was related to systematic thinking helped her to accept this about herself. She'd always wanted to be an artist, but found her true satisfaction in building infrastructure for communities - which required exactly the kind of systematic thinking that her ears predicted.

Does ear shape change the face reading?

In my experience, I've found that although the basic bone structure of ears does not change (except in aging or injury), energy they project changes.

Years of my study and practice in face reading have taught me that square ears are not a physical thing, but one of the ways the body expresses a fundamental essence. So, in summary this is good square ears suggest a person who is built for reliability, honesty and steady progress, things our world really needs.
