Facial lineaments and forces of astrological planets.
Characteristics of zodiacal signs in physiognomy.

Not only dominating planets correspond to signs on the zodiac according to rules of astrology, but all known astrological planets are shown in each zodiac sign with different intensity. And accordingly in view of physiognomy the expressed and not expressed features or lineaments of a human face are comparable to intensity of displays, or otherwise to tell forces of planets in signs on the zodiac, that is shown in the table.

lineaments of a face in physiognomy and the table of planets in astrology The conditional profile of a human face in the table corresponds with twelve signs on the zodiac within the twelve-level physiognomic system.
Astrological planets in the table are designated by Latin letters: sun (SL), moon (LN), mercury (ME), venus (VE), mars (MA), jupiter (UP), saturn (SA), uranus (UR), neptune (NP), pluto (PL), proserpine (PR), chiron (XR).
Forces of dominant and exalted planets in signs on the zodiac have values of 4 and 5 points, and forces of non-dominant and inverse exalted planets have values of 1 and 2 points. Average planets have value 3 points.
Average planets in the table are not shown, as their meanings can be not considered in a context of physiognomy.

In astrology other names also are known: dominant - operating or managing planets; exalted - eminent or remarkable planets; non-dominant - exile or expatriate planets; inverse exalted - falling or upset planets; average planets have names "tolerant" and "intolerant". And also the scientific astrology knows more developed system of points according to which astrologers calculate forces of planets in signs on the zodiac, and consequently in a context of physiognomy it is possible to apply detailed astrological system of points if to apply complex measures of formal sizes and shapes of a human face in profile.
The table with the developed system of point forces for planets in signs on the zodiac is shown on following page.

The five-point system of estimations allows to compare the most appreciable, or otherwise to tell relief physiognomic parameters of human faces with strongest and weakest planets which have the most appreciable values in signs on the zodiac.
Dominant planets are shown adequately and naturally. Their characteristics are shown if facial features have the increased large outlines.
Exalted planets are shown brightly and effectively. Their characteristics are shown if features of a face have the much expressed large or great outlines.
Non-dominant planets specify weak and reluctant properties of human character traits. Characteristics of these planets are shown if facial lineaments have the reduced small outlines.
Inverse exalted planets specify inappropriate and inadequate properties of character traits. Their characteristics are shown if lineaments of a face have much reduced small outlines.
For example, the antique profile of Roman soldier in picture.

antique profile of Roman soldier and measuring parameters of physiognomy Physiognomic levels of a face or lineaments in the shown sculptural image have following measuring parameters:
- top of forehead is expressed;
- middle of forehead is not expressed;
- eyebrows are expressed;
- top of nose bridge is expressed;
- middle of nose bridge is expressed;
- bottom of nose bridge is expressed;
- nose-tip is not expressed;
- interval between nose and upper lip is not expressed;
- upper lip is expressed;
- lower lip is not expressed;
- interval between lower lip and chin is much expressed;
- chin is expressed.

It is necessary to mean that relative sizes of physiognomic lineaments of human faces are considered during visual facial analyses. For example in the shown sculptural profile of a Roman soldier, the middle of forehead is not expressed concerning the expressed eyebrows. The nose-tip is not expressed concerning the expressed bottom of nose bridge. The lower lip is not expressed concerning the upper lip. The interval between chin and lower lip is considerably much expressed concerning the lower lip.
Namely during analyses of human faces in physiognomy it is necessary to consider relative differences of sizes in 12 facial levels and to correlate characteristics of astrological planets to lineament features of a human face according to approximate sizes, because exact measurements in physiognomy can be not always performed. In particular in the shown sculptural profile of Roman soldier according to approximate visual estimations of visible sizes it is possible to assume about displays of following planets.
Top of forehead.
Dominant displays of the Sun and the Moon specify adequate functions of synthesizing consciousness.
Middle of forehead.
Non-dominant planets Saturn and Uranus specify reluctant functions of integrating consciousness.
Eyebrows.
Dominant planets Mercury and Chiron specify adequate functions of analytical consciousness.
Top of nose bridge.
Dominant planets Proserpine and Venus specify adequate attributes of conservative organizing individuality, and also a social role of emperor.
Middle of nose bridge.
Dominant planets Pluto and Mars specify adequate attributes of voluntary individuality, and also a social role of aristocrat.
Bottom of nose bridge.
Dominant planets Neptune and Jupiter specify adequate attributes of administrative individuality, and also a social role of minister.
Nose tip.
Non-dominant displays of the Sun and the Moon specify reluctant attributes of radical declarative individuality, and also a social role of functionary.
Interval between nose and upper lip.
Non-dominant displays of the Moon and the Sun specify reluctant characteristics of the dependent regulated feelings, and also qualities of wisdom and insight.
Upper lip.
Dominant planets Neptune and Jupiter specify adequate characteristics of the independent regulated feelings, and also qualities of sensitiveness and keenness.
Lower lip.
Non-dominant planets Proserpine and Venus specify reluctant characteristics of compromise feelings, and also qualities of sincerity and kind intentions.
Interval between lower lip and chin.
Exalted displays of the Saturn and the Moon specify effective characteristics of dependent reactionary feelings, and also qualities of obedience and ceremoniousness.
Chin.
Dominant planets Chiron and Mercury specify adequate characteristics of independent reactionary feelings, and also qualities of mercy and restraint.
The information about various variants of sensual displays in a context of physiognomy of facial lineaments, and also about five qualities in the Chinese Confucian philosophy look on pages of this website in section: half faces (concepts 2).
In total at each physiognomic level of a human face there can be actual displays of different astrological planets which can be dominant or non-dominant, and also exalted or inverse exalted in signs of the zodiac in a context of astrology, that depends on formal sizes of lineament features in a facial profile.
Displays of different planets correspond to psychological characteristics which are equivalent to planetary meanings in astrology and to meanings of facial lineaments in physiognomy.
For example, displays of different astrological planets at the level of lower lip.
The lower lip in physiognomy means compromise feelings according to which the person feels desires of people and compares to own desires, namely the person critically estimates desires of people and aspires to compromise agreements, that corresponds to characteristics of the dominant planet Pluto. And also the person shows sincere and biased sympathies or antipathy in relation to people, that there corresponds to characteristics of the dominant planet Mars. But if other astrological planets matter then compromise feelings have features of these planets.
Astrological Sun.
If the astrological Sun is shown at the facial level of lower lip then the person shows to people benevolent feelings similarly to the sun which radiates light and heat. But also the person can be quick-tempered and very critical, as properties of exalted planets are shown more noticeably rather than properties of dominant planets.
Astrological Uranus.
If the planet Uranus is shown at the lineament level of lower lip then the person seems friendly and sociable, namely is capable to find methods of behavior which are acceptable by all participants of human relations, but also sensual displays of the person can be foolish in relation to people that there corresponds to astrological meanings of Uranus.
Astrological Proserpine.
If the lower lip is not expressed and the planet Proserpine is shown then the person seems haughty as mythological goddess Proserpine is a governor in the empire of dead where she has the superiority over souls of people . As a result people feel arrogance of the person and avoid dialogue, that is the reason of reluctant display of sensual reactions in mutual relations and corresponds to non-dominant status which the planet Proserpine possesses at the facial level of lower lip and in the zodiac sign Scorpio.
Pay attention, if the lower lip is not expressed then the relative greater sizes seem belonging to the interval between lower lip and chin where the planet Proserpine possesses the dominant status, that emphasizes arrogance and aspiration to the superiority.
And also pay attention, that all physiognomic levels of a human face possess similar interrelations according to which magnitudes of adjacent facial lineaments are interconnected and have the relative sizes, that corresponds to the interconnected displays of astrological planets.

Astrological Venus.
If the planet Venus is shown at the facial level of lower lip then there is an impression that the person subordinates and submits people the same as the mythological goddess Venus subordinates people and gods by influence of beauty, that is the reason of refusal of mutual relations with the person, and also is the reason of undesirable display of feelings in relations with people.
Namely if the lower lip is not expressed then the not dominant planets Venus and Proserpine matter, that is perceived as undesirable features of human character and corresponds with reluctant displays of feelings. As against dominant planets which are shown confidently and undoubtedly, also are perceived as categorical character traits.
Astrological Saturn.
If the lower lip is not expressed much considerably and the planet Saturn is shown then it seems that the person constrains displays of own feelings, and also limits sensual displays of people. Namely the person does not allow people to show feeling, that is perceived as impolite behavior if to take into account that the planet Saturn is inverse exalted at the facial level of lower lip, and consequently people perceive obstacles in displays of mutual feelings as impolite behavior of the person.
Astrological Moon.
If the moon is shown at the physiognomic level of lower lip then it seems that the person uses feelings of people as if the moon absorbs light and shines reflected light. Namely the person does not show own feelings, but sensual displays of people are reflected in feelings of the person, that is perceived inadequately as the moon is the inverse exalted planet at the level of lower lip. And consequently can seem that the person falsifies own sensual displays and imitates feelings of associates.
Namely if the lower lip is not expressed considerably then there are significance of the inverse exalted Moon and Saturn which are the reason of inappropriate behavior, that seems inadequate in character traits of the person.
In a similar way all physiognomic levels of a human face correspond with dominant and non-dominant or exalted and inverse exalted planets which are shown according to the expressed and not expressed sizes of facial lineaments. It is necessary to analyze all physiognomic levels and to describe the general psychological portrait according to which properties of astrological planets are shown in character traits of a man or woman.
