Lower Court (Xia Ting)

What is Lower Court (Xia Ting)?

The Lower Court runs from the philtrum to the chin and is read for the fortune of one's later years (roughly 51 onward) together with feeling (情), the harvest of wealth, descendants, and the fortune of those beneath one. A chin rounded, full, and well-balanced is read as a sign of a settled later life, deep feeling, and good fortune in subordinates. When the Lower Court is full among the three courts, it is read as the grain of perseverance, embrace, and accumulation; when weak, as a cue to look to health and to how one finishes in later years.
