Book Introduction

The world moves by an invisible force. When many successful individuals say, “I was lucky,” it’s not just simple humility. For over 2300 years, people have been trying to understand and interpret that force, and the wisdom has developed into practical techniques known as ‘Saju’, ‘Gwanseong’, and ‘Pungsu’. These three are the oldest and most accurate methods to read the flow of life and change one’s destiny. By understanding my temperament through Saju, training my mind through Gwanseong, and adjusting the energy of space through Pungsu, the direction of life can change.

Author Park Seong-joon is the country’s top expert who has researched divination for over 30 years. With a cumulative view count of 70 million on YouTube, he has gained public trust by serving as a consultant for major broadcasts such as MBC’s “Infinite Challenge”, “What Do You Do When You Play?”, SBS’s “Running Man”, and “My Little Old Boy”. Additionally, he spreads practical perspectives on interpreting Saju, Gwanseong, and Pungsu in modern terms through lectures at large corporations like Samsung, Hanwha, IBM, and Amorepacific.

He emphasizes that “a good destiny is not something one is born with but something one creates for oneself.” Luck is given to everyone, but only those who can read and utilize that flow become the true protagonists of fortune. “The Art of Understanding Destiny” is a guide that unpacks the East Asian wisdom, validated over a long time, tailored for modern life, offering practical insights to those who wish to proactively design their path amidst the vast flow of ‘luck’.

What flow are you currently riding? Towards what destiny are you headed? Read your destiny. At that moment, your life map will unfold along a completely different path.

In the Book

• P. 17~18
• Changes in fortune are akin to changes in the seasons. Just as one must always pay attention to health during the transitional periods between seasons, there are certain points called 'Gyounki' when fortunes intersect. During these times, various unexpected situations, fluctuations, accidents, and psychological changes often occur. As a result, one’s mental state, consciousness, and thought process also change, which is reflected when fortune shifts positively.

• When reflecting on times of bad fortune in one's life, it is likely that these periods bunched together over 2-3 years with approximately a 10-year gap in between. For example, if unfortunate events occurred at ages 27, 28, and 29, it can be understood that the probability of similar misfortunes at ages 37, 38, and 39 is high.
• P. 99
• When looking at a man's wallet and seeing money sorted by denominations such as fifty-thousand won and ten-thousand won, along with neatly organized receipts, it indicates that he values the money he has. Such a person is likely to behave similarly towards his partner, treating her with care and consideration, likely being a devoted type.
• P. 115
• In discussing human fortune and misfortune, and the distinction between wealth and poverty, the appearance of ‘Golsang (the shape of the face or skull)’ is inferior to ‘Gwangsang’ (physiognomy), whereas Gwangsang cannot keep up with ‘Chalsang (the color of the face)’, and Chalsang is less important than ‘Simsang (the shape of the heart/mind)’.
• P. 120
• The face is governed and changed by the unseen heart. The heart reflects a person's inherent disposition, which naturally shows on their face. Considering how destiny is created, it is evident that the underlying Simsang takes precedence over mere physiognomy.
• P. 120
• Even if one's face bears signs of wealth and fame, approaching life with a negative heart can lead to poverty at any time. Moreover, regardless of present hardships, if one accumulates virtues with a good heart, it will reflect on the face, creating a positive feedback loop between physiognomy and the heart, ultimately showing that the heart is the most important aspect.
• P. 122
• The face does not lie. The gaze, expressions, and wrinkles formed over decades encapsulate one's life story, already reflecting the heart's shape. In other words, one can say that one’s nature is engraved on their face.
• P. 170
• Everyone has a different appearance, and there is a reason for each. If one sincerely desires improvements, it is advised to remove scars from the forehead and between the eyebrows, as scars in those areas, even if acquired later in life, are unfavorable.
• P. 179
• In physiognomy, the voice is also very important as it reveals one's character.

The essence of Eastern philosophy reflecting on human life!

Wisdom passed down for 2300 years, meet fortune-telling and physiognomy

Today, fortune telling and face reading have naturally seeped into our daily lives. Some dismiss it as superstition, while others consume it out of simple curiosity, but its source lies in vast and profound Eastern philosophy.

Fortune telling is a study that interprets a person's fate by comparing their birth year, month, day, and hour to four pillars. Its roots originate from ancient Chinese I Ching and the yin-yang five elements theory, and fortune telling analyzes a person's innate temperament, tendencies, and life flow according to this theory. Face reading is similar. When we first meet someone, we often express that we have a “good first impression” or that they somehow seem trustworthy. Such impressions are read through external factors like the person's face, expressions, and gaze. Face reading is a kind of psychology that seeks to understand a person's inner self through the window of their face, based on thousands of years of accumulated observations, experiences, and statistics.

Thus, fortune telling and face reading are not merely realms of divination but a blend of statistics and logic that form a kind of humanistic philosophy. Through fortune telling and face reading, people can explore their own selves, set the direction of their lives, and gain meaningful insights in their relationships with others. In this book, fortune telling and face reading are used not just as fortune predictions or assessments of appearance, but as philosophical tools for reflecting on life and viewing the world wisely. The wisdom of ancient times is still valid today and will serve as a compass guiding us toward a better life.

Fortune comes through 'me.'

Ultimately, taking good care of myself is what changes my destiny.

The technique to double your luck: Fortune telling and face reading

The starting point of my life is 'me.' If I want luck, I must first take care of the entrance through which luck comes, 'me.' Understanding, cherishing, and fostering oneself is how one grows luck. Knowing one's innate temperament and tendencies, and surpassing them, changes the flow of life. And at that moment, luck arrives.

Fortune telling is not a form of divination that predicts the future, but a technique for precisely reading 'me.' Once I know the flow of my energy, it becomes clear when to move and stop, and when to challenge and wait. Only those who can read the direction of such luck can seize the opportunity when fortune approaches.

Face reading is the technique of reading the heart through the face. The face is like a map of the heart, where that person's thoughts, emotions, and life trajectory are all engraved. Even if one has a face of wealth, if their heart is distorted, their fortune scatters. Conversely, by accumulating a good heart and virtue even in difficult situations, that light is reflected on the face. Ultimately, if one wants to change their fate, it is the heart that must be cultivated before the face.

Additionally, face reading provides practical help in human relationships. While various negative connections exist in the world, identifying a good first impression can help avoid risks. It can help distinguish between a flirt and a fraud, preventing misfortune, and can also be used in finding lifelong partners. I can also predict positive influences from friends, coworkers, and business partners in advance. Having the ability to discern good connections is a technique to change one's destiny.

There is a place that calls for fortune.

If you have a desperate wish, climb up Gwanaksan.

There is a reason why the wealthy gather in certain places. There are places of fortune and places where energy scatters. Just like the Han River in Seoul, the Seine in Paris, and the Spree in Berlin, it is a well-validated fact that wealth and people gather in areas surrounded by winding waterways.

Equally important to identifying good energy locations is effectively utilizing 'spatial energy.' Even small changes in the home you currently live in can enhance your fortune. The direction of furniture, the position of the bed, and life habits that invigorate are all small practices that can change the flow of luck. This book introduces life tips that invoke and spread vitality.

If you have a fervent wish, visit a geomantically favorable spot to elevate the energy of your life. Gwanak Mountain is a mountain brimming with energy, where a legend says that climbing it three times will make your wishes come true. Many people visit it before promotions or exams, as it is filled with vitality. Here, we also introduce a few other prayer spots with good energy.
