A Rare View of Hillary, with Face Reading

Senator Clinton's face is unusually expressive for a
politician of either gender. Speaker Nancy Pelosi, for
instance, seems wooden by comparison. (Or more dignified,
depending upon your perspective.)

Even someone without Clinton's mobility has something else
going on facially. It's far more revealing than expression or
body language. Are you counter-culture enough to see it? 
Faces change. They structurally change over time. Every one of
these changes is meaningful. 

For close to 10 years, this discovery drove me. It's not just
that I wrote "Wrinkles Are God's Makeup: How You Can Find
Meaning in Your Evolving Face." During that decade, I
lived facial change. Whenever I could, I'd compare photos of
the same person, searching for insight.
Physiognomy has been done for 5,000 years, but nobody else had
thought to write books about this aspect. 

Understandable! Who had photos back in the day? But whatever
the tragic findings of future historians, deconstructing the
Internet Age, I don't think they'll find that we suffered from
lack of pictures.

Here, on my first official post at this FORUM, I'm going to
point out a handful of really significant changes to Hillary
Clinton's face. Feel free to notice more and add your
observations as comments, below. 

I'll supply the page numbers in WAGM to interpret those
changes and, should you find something that isn't covered
there, I will summarize if you contact me via my blog about
aura reading, face reading and other kinds of deeper
perception. 

That's "Deeper Perception Made Practical" at
http://www.rose-rosetree.com/blog. My blog is also where you
will find the photos referred to in this article. (I haven't
yet learned how to post photo links here, and if any kindly
soul is willing to educate me, it would be so appreciated. I'm
not the smartest tech-type person at DU. I sure hope, because
that would be scary!)

If you look closely, with a face reader's eye, you may be able
to find dozens of changes. And, speaking of finding, I was
fortunate to find a rare head shot of Hillary Clinton, age 21.
If you can help me to locate old photos of other top
presidential candidates, and supply a link, I'll do similar
readings on them. Comment away!

We'll use these two photos to read Clinton's evolving face.
I'm comparing her photo at age 21 with a current photograph,
more than three decades later. 

WARINESS

The Physical Change: Lower eyelid curve means the shape at the
bottom half of an eye. It can range anywhere from super-curvy
to straight. For Clinton, that's just what it does. The huge
openness of her eyes continued well into when she moved into
the White House. I remember staring at her photos in The
Washington Post. 

It's so unusual to have a high-profile political wife with
that degree of openness. Sure enough, attacks began from what
Clinton called "a vast right-wing conspiracy," her
face changed. 

Sure, we can always narrow or round our eyes, moment by
moment, but the default position counts. For Hillary Clinton,
that meant going from 10 to 1.
 
The Inner Meaning:
Clinton learned to trust nobody, not until that person has
proven trustworthy. She may not enjoy people as much as she
once did. But that lost innocence has compensations, one of
which is greater loyalty to those people who do pass her test.


DOWN-ANGLED LEFT EYE

The Physical Change: 
To see eye angles, imagine one dot each at the inner and outer
eye corners. Connect those dots with an imaginary line.
Comparing Clinton's left eye in each photo (which will be on
your right side of the page), note that it used to go up quite
a lot. Now it angles way down.The Inner Meaning: In personal
life, rather than public life, Clinton has gone through hell.
She's come back, sadder and wiser and way more compassionate. 

Interestingly, her left eye now resembles whose? Check out the
current face of her rather famous husband, who has developed a
down-angled left eye as well.

Yes, when husbands and wives come to look alike, that's no
coincidence, not to a face reader, anyway. Every change to the
physical face is meaningful.

CHANGED LOWER LIP 

The Physical Change: Younger, Hillary's lower lip is so much
fuller, it's maybe quadruple the size of her upper lip now.
But that isn't even the most interesting mouth change. The
texture starts off puffy and soft. What happens later?
Reading lip texture is one of the perks of becoming an expert
face reader.
 
Imagine, with practice you don't have to actually kiss a mouth
in order to know about that texture! Hillary's lower lip
became unusually muscular. What does it mean that she lost
that puff, that fluff?
 
The Inner Meaning: Lower lips symbolize communicating facts.
(Upper lips relate to talking about feelings.) 

Clinton must have been some debater back in the day, because
she had a flirtatious quality when talking facts. She could
tell people what they wanted to hear, finding just the
appropriate fact and timing it perfectly. 

Now all she has is the passion of her convictions. When
Hillary speaks now, you may agree or disagree, but you'd have
to be pretty far gone not to believe she's sincere.
The challenge is that she's lost that easy, confident
persuasiveness. Speaking with passion and conviction is not
common among today's high-level politicians. They risk seeming
strident (not to mention losing the Romney-like plasticity). 

For a female politician to speak passionately and assertively
could be a particularly great liability among those who like
their women to be sweet and supportive, more like a Laura
Bush.

CHIN LENGTH

The Physical Change: Chins are the bottom line of the face,
the part that tells so much about ethics and decision making.
Hillary's chin changed in numerous ways. Here I want to
emphasize the sheer length. Notice how petite that chin used
to be. Now her chin is more than double the size, taking into
consideration the proportions on the rest of her face.
 
The Inner Meaning: Earlier, Clinton had one of those
consciences that wouldn't quit. She pushed herself to walk her
talk, and probably was her own worst critic. Today, of course,
she'd be hard pressed to match the virulence of the hatred
directed against her. 

Fortunately, she has toughened up, become more of a risk
taker. Sure she can take attacks on the chin now. She has
grown way more chin. The potential challenge is being
ethically less pristine. If she does become elected, it will
be important for her to guard against this challenge.

NEW PRIORITIES

The Physical Change: For 5,000 years, physiognomists have
compared the three lengths within a face. In my system, these
Priority Areas tell a great deal about how the personality
comes across. Compare these three lengths on Hillary:

Priority Area I: Hairline to highest part of eyebrow.
Priority Area II: Highest part of eyebrow to lowest part of
the nose.
Priority Area III: Lowest part of the nose to the chin (first
chin only, please!)
The college grad had a clear, and dramatic, priority on her
face, Area II.
Now all three Priority Areas have equal length. This is how
Hillary Clinton looks just like King George Bush the First.
 
The Inner Meaning: Ambition showed plainly on the young
woman's face. If you had a strong nose for the scent, you
could smell it a mile off. Now her ambitions have been
incorporated into the rest of her life. She also cares about
learning. Plus she's more street smart. It's easier for
Hillary Clinton now, to appeal to people who fear ambitious
women.
 
But that job will never be easy, not yet. Do you realize that
20 other countries have elected a woman as highest political
official but not yet our oh-so-advanced United States?
 
During the Clinton years, Bob Woodward outed Hillary Clinton
as someone who really admired Eleanor Roosevelt and was even
involved in emulating her in ways that could be called, gasp!
New Age.
 
When we admire people, we do learn from them, whether Woodward
approves or not. Eleanor Roosevelt is one of my heroes as
well. In "Wrinkles Are God's Makeup," I include her
among six famous people whose face changes are discussed in
detail, and Roosevelt leads them all. She changed more than
most people you'll ever meet, 20 significant changes plus
wrinkles. What do you think it means, when somebody's face
changes that much?
