The interpretation of the thumb in palmistry plays an important role. I met with Indian palmists who made most of their predictions based on the analysis of the thumb, and this is not accidental. The thumb can tell a lot about a person's character. For example, how he makes decisions and how he implements them.
Man is the only creature in nature endowed with an opposing finger. Chimpanzees follow right behind humans, but their fingers are very primitive compared to ours. A unique feature of our fingers is the radial nerve, which is made up of the same nerve fibers as the central part of our brain.
The same nerve fibers run through the human spine. The radial nerve gives us a unique ability for analytical thinking, which distinguishes a person from all other living beings on the planet.
THUMB LENGTH
The larger the finger, the more significant success a person can achieve. It is known that Napoleon's thumbs were extremely large, and this is not surprising. There is one useful and fascinating exercise: watching the hands of people speaking on television.
You will probably notice that many actors play roles that are completely out of character for them in real life. An example of this is an actor with a small thumb, playing the role of a financial bigwig. In India, it is believed that the size of the thumb is directly related to the level of success that a person can achieve.
This interpretation seems too fatalistic to me, and yet there is no doubt that it is people with large thumbs who more often than others manage to take a leading position in the modern world. The fact is that they are more purposeful, ambitious and persistent than others.
Charlotte Wolfe has done research on the thumbs of highly accomplished people and found that almost everyone has a thumb length that is within the average range. It's just that people with long thumbs are much more persistent and persistent in achieving their goals.
long thumb
If you happen to meet a person with a very long thumb, know that he is able to take on the role of leader in any situation. This person is smart, determined and has great willpower.
short thumb
People with short thumbs tend to lack willpower. They can be extremely stubborn, often unreasonably and for no particular reason.
Thumb medium length
People whose thumbs reach medium length (reach at least the middle of the lower phalanx of the index finger) are fair, independent and can stand up for themselves. They are sensible and have considerable willpower.
When the thumb, when viewed from the side of the nail, looks wide, this indicates that a person is capable of anything to achieve his goal.
A person whose thumb looks beefy is blunt and direct, and at times can appear tactless and even rude. He is stubborn and strives with all his might to always do everything in his own way. He will not stand a price when it comes to his own independence.
PHALANGS OF THE THUMB
Each finger on the human hand is divided into three parts called phalanges, although it seems that the thumb has only two phalanges. The hill of Venus is the fleshy part of the hand at the base of the thumb, girded with the line of life, and is its third phalanx.
Most often, the thumb is located at an angle of 45 ° in relation to the hand. This indicates the ability and desire of a person to maintain traditional social principles and his moderate conservatism. In general terms, the larger this angle, the more generous the person.
Generosity Corner
Angle greater than 45°
Accordingly, this angle is sometimes referred to as the "bounty angle".
If this angle exceeds 45 °, this indicates a person who is energetic, open, with the ability to charm and influence others.
He loves adventure and always strives to learn something new and unusual. If, in a relaxed state, the thumb is kept at a distance from others, this indicates a calm, open, sociable and carefree person.
If the value of this angle is less than 45 °, this indicates a person's selfishness. Most likely, he is cruel, narrow-minded and proud. His view of the world around him is very narrow.
practicality angle
The practicality angle is the angle that forms on the outside of the thumb where it meets the palm. You will soon find that on most hands this angle is absent, while in some people a bulge is noticeable in this place. The greater this bulge, the more practical the person.
We call such people jacks of all trades, they are distinguished by skill and dexterity and love activities that allow them to actively use their hands. This angle is also known as the angle of time because it gives a person a particularly keen sense of time. Such people are always punctual, they know how to catch the right moment and brilliantly pause.
Height angle (angle of sound)
The angle of pitch, or the angle of sound, is at the very base of the palm, under the thumb, where it joins the wrist. The height angle indicates a person who feels the rhythm and has an ear for music.
Gifted musicians, dancers and singers in most cases have pronounced angles of height and practicality. The practicality angle gives them a sense of timing and tempo, while the pitch angle gives them an ear for music and a sense of rhythm.
Look closely at photographs of the world's leading musicians and performers of all genres, from classical to popular music, and you will notice how obvious these angles are on their hands. The next time you have a picture of Elvis Presley in front of you, pay attention to his hands - they have a very pronounced angle of practicality and an angle of height.
THUMB POSITION
High set thumb
The thumbs can be located at different heights in relation to the palms, so they are divided into high-set and low-set.
A high-set thumb is considered if it starts high above the wrist. People with such fingers are distinguished by originality, openness and optimism. They are typical extroverts.
Low set thumb
People with low-set thumbs, on the other hand, are reserved and cautious. In most cases, the landing of the thumb fluctuates somewhere between high and low.
TIP OF THE THUMB
Few modern palmists use D'Arpentigny's hand classification system, but the terms he developed are still actively used in the analysis of the fingertips, including the thumb.
If the tip of the thumb is square in shape, it indicates a person who is practical, simple, down to earth and fair. Such people always try to play fair.
If the tip has a scapular shape, this indicates a business and active person.
If the tip has a conical shape, this indicates a sensitive and refined person.
Often the conical tip is combined with a second phalanx tapering and concave on both sides. This testifies to the diplomacy and tact of a person. When he says "no", he does it in such a polite, benevolent and intelligent way that it is impossible to be offended by him.
The pointed tip of the thumb indicates a person who is subtle and insightful, who will be able to present even the worst news gently and calmly.
The wide tip indicates a person who is cautious, thorough, having his own convictions.
If the tip is wide and flat, and the upper phalanx resembles a bump, such a finger is called a killer finger. This finger shape is usually hereditary. People with such fingers can be very patient, but sometimes they explode over trifles. Undoubtedly, it is thanks to this feature that the “killer finger” got its name.
FINGER MOBILITY
The thumbs are divided into inflexible and mobile. If the finger is freely bent back in the area of the joint, it is considered mobile. A person with movable thumbs is open, positive, optimistic. He does not tolerate pressure and in conflict situations prefers to retreat without entering into an argument and without making a scandal.
If the thumb is inactive and does not bend back at the joint, it is called inflexible. A person with this type of thumbs is reliable, constant, stubborn, persistent and purposeful. He never backs down, even when under very strong pressure.
There was a period in my life when I worked as a salesman, and the knowledge of palmistry then helped me a lot. If there was a customer in front of me with movable thumbs, I could apply a little pressure on him, and, yielding to the pressure, he would make a purchase.
If I had to deal with a person who had inflexible thumbs, I did not even try to put pressure on him. If I tried to click on such a client, all my attempts would end in failure. Moreover, with my own hands I would erect obstacles to future success.
INDIAN THUMB INTERPRETATION
I have been under the indelible impression of the Indian system of interpretation of the thumb ever since a Bombay palmist predicted my fate from it more than thirty years ago.
At that time I myself made a living as a palmist and was amazed that an Indian colleague completely ignored my palm, focusing on the thumb, and based his predictions solely on its analysis. Palmists have repeatedly read my thumbs, and I have always been amazed at how accurate and detailed predictions they made.
Unfortunately, the few books from which one could master the Indian system of thumb interpretation were written in local languages - Tamil, Sanskrit and Pali. Some palmists offered to teach me the basics of this art, but I could not comprehend it to the extent that I could apply it in practice.
A few years ago, I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in New Delhi with my old friend Samir Upadhya. We discussed, among other things, the thumb interpretation system. It was thanks to Samir that I was able to replenish my knowledge in the field of palmistry, and I am very grateful to him for his generosity and kindness.
THUMB TYPE
The palmist begins by feeling and examining the thumb and determining what type it belongs to. This is based on a system identical to the Western one. A finger inflexible and inactive indicates a stubborn and uncompromising person. A finger that bends back with ease indicates that a person is flexible and yields when pressure is applied to him.
The shape of the finger is determined on the basis of the D'Arpentigny system, which is actively used by both Western and Eastern palmists. In India, D'Arpentigny's hand classification system is also in use. True, in the West today only a part of the system related to the classification of thumbs is used.
Dermatoglyphics
Then the palmist analyzes the relief pattern of the skin on the fingertip.
THUMB LINES
Nine lines (rekha) can appear on the thumb. A finger where all nine are present at the same time is extremely rare, but at least two of them can be found on each finger. These are the two lines that divide the phalanges. One of them passes between the phalanges of will and logic, and the second - between the phalanx of logic and the hill of Venus.
HORIZONTAL LINES
The horizontal lines begin on the side of the thumb closest to Jupiter's finger and, ideally, completely encircle it. It is desirable that these lines are as smooth and even as possible.
Phala rekha (wheat line)
Phala Rekha is better known as the wheat line. Sometimes it is also called the rice line. The word "phala" is translated as "fruit" or as "consequence of the result." This term is related to karma. It should be noted that the phrase "karma-phala" is translated as "the result of an act."
Accordingly, a good deed gives a positive result. A bad deed, in turn, gives rise to negative consequences. This line is also sometimes called "pushpa" (flower) because it looks like a flower. The Phala Rekha runs between the phalanxes of logic and will.
Its absence on the finger is extremely rare. The presence of a line indicates that a person will never starve. If it seems that a grain of rice or wheat is hidden inside the line, this indicates that the person will live a happy and fulfilling life.
As a rule, the wheat line consists of two intertwined lines representing a man and a woman. This line in most cases begins as a single line, but soon a second line joins it, which symbolizes a companion or life partner.
Analysis of the wheat line allows you to determine the time when this fateful meeting will happen (or has already happened). Small defects or disturbances on this line are usually associated with problems in personal relationships.
If the beginning of the wheat line is wavy or there are gaps on it, this indicates a difficult childhood.
If the line is wavy in the middle section, this indicates problems in adulthood. And, of course, if the line is wavy at its end, this indicates that a person will have to face difficulties in old age.
mallika rekha
Mallika is a small white flower that looks like a jasmine. Traditionally, it is presented as a gift to the Hindu god Shiva. The Mallika Rekha runs between the Phalanx of Logic and the Mount of Venus. It must be clear and clearly marked. It symbolizes a happy family and home life. Sometimes this line resembles a single, unbreakable chain. In this case, she points to a bold, courageous person with a strong character.
The black dots on this line symbolize financial conflicts between family members.
If this line is noticeably thicker and wider than the wheat line, this indicates that it will not be easy for a person to find an ideal partner, and having met him, it will not be easy to maintain harmonious relationships with him. Breaks on this line indicate that a person will experience many ups and downs in life.
Four more horizontal lines are located on the logical phalanx. If all four lines are present on the finger, they divide the phalanx into five parts. The first three lines (madhura, mandara and mana) are quite rare. The last, fourth, line of the logical phalanx (rati rekha) is almost always found.
madhura rekha
"Madhura" translates as "possessing sweetness." Madhura rekha is the line closest to the wheat line. It should be subtle but distinct. This indicates a person who is compassionate and sociable. You can always find a common language with him.
mandara rekha
Mandara is the name of a sacred mythical mountain. This word is also synonymous with paradise and mirror. Mandara rekha indicates a person's love of travel. Such a person is distinguished by innate tirelessness and endurance, due to which, sooner or later, he begins to experience a craving for travel.
Mana rekha
Mana is an abstract term for the place where our thoughts, dreams, feelings, emotions and desires reside. This is an unfavorable line. Its presence indicates a person's propensity for extramarital affairs and infidelity.
Rati rekha
Rati was the wife of Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love. The word "rati" refers to intimate contact.
Rati rekha must be interpreted in combination with the lines of romantic affection located on the edge of the palm under the finger of Mercury. It shows how happy a person will be in love.
Ideally, this line should be clear, clearly marked and without breaks. The island on the rati rekha indicates that during the specified period of time, the chosen one will be struck by the disease.
If the line is broken in the middle, this indicates that the person will be happy for the first half of his life, after which he will have to face problems and troubles. As a rule, they will be caused by the health condition of the partner.
If the line continues after the break, it indicates that difficulties will be overcome.
If the rati rekha consists of a series of consecutive broken lines, this is a symbol of celibacy.
VERTICAL LINES
Three vertical lines may appear on the thumb. The Vajra Rekha, which bisects the finger, is always the longest of them.
vajra rekha
Vajra is an ancient weapon that looks like a large metal arrowhead. It was this weapon, according to legend, that was used by Indra, the god of rain and lightning. Lightning is considered to be a spark struck by Indra's vajra.
Vajra rekha is a thin line located on the side of the thumb that faces the finger of Jupiter, and directed towards the mallika rekha. Sometimes the vajra rekha begins on the hill of Venus. This line is better known as the diamond line, as people endowed with it can become very rich.
By the way, the word "vajra" is synonymous with the words "diamond" and "steel". However, in order for a person to get rich, it must be clear and clearly expressed. If the kesara rekha is also clearly marked, this indicates that the person will make money without much effort. The wave-like shape of the vajra rekha indicates that a person will earn his capital in speculative ways.
Kesara rekha
The word "kesara" has several meanings. They designate saffron - a culinary seasoning common in the East. Kesara is also called the pistil of the saffron flower. The same word is used for the mane of the Indian lion.
The Kesara Rekha runs parallel to the Vajra Rekha but is on the opposite side of the thumb. As a rule, the kesara rekha is a short line that starts on the hill of Venus and ends on the mallika rekha line.
The presence of this line indicates a gradual increase in family wealth.
If the kesara rekha is thin and hard to see, it indicates that the person will be financially successful for a long period of time and that his wealth will accumulate over many years.
If the kesara rekha is wide and well visible, it means that the person will make money quickly.
If it is deep, clearly marked and reaches the wheat line, this indicates a person born into a wealthy family. Most likely he will be interested in art. It is difficult for people who do not have kesara rekha to achieve financial success.
ripu rekha
The ripu rekha starts on the hill of Venus and goes up the thumb to the wheat line. Sometimes it can end on the phalanx of will.
The word "ripu" is translated as "enemy". Accordingly, this line is regarded as hostile. It is believed that it not only neutralizes the positive effect of any line that it crosses, but also leaves a negative imprint on the corresponding areas of human life.
In addition to determining the type of thumb, analyzing lines and dermatoglyphics, Indian palmists interpret various symbols and signs formed by lines and a relief pattern of the skin.
For example, a fish says that a person will achieve a lot in life. Cancer or scorpio indicate that a person will serve all his life and will not rise above this position.
The number of options is endless, but to discover them, you need to have not only good eyesight, but also a rich imagination. Because this takes us away from serious palmistry, I have decided not to include descriptions of these symbols in this book.
Over time, I realized that knowing the meanings of the nine lines of the thumb is an extremely useful addition to my knowledge in the field of practical palmistry. They allow you to know something that cannot be known in any other way.
I recommend that you start studying them only after you begin to feel confident in interpreting the main lines of the hand. As you analyze the thumb lines, feel free to ask questions and take notes.
This direction of palmistry in the West is considered new and little studied, and perhaps it is you who will be able to make valuable and original comments regarding the interpretation of the thumb. But it will require your attention and patience.
The ratio of the size of your thumb to the size of the entire palm will give you an idea of your willpower and endurance. At the same time, when analyzing the size of the thumb, it must be considered along with the angle that it forms with the palm. The thumb in a small field of activity will “run into” others, emphasizing a certain obsession. Conversely, a small finger, whose angle of departure from the palm indicates a wide field of activity, speaks of being lost in society.
Thumb sizes
Studying the thumb, first determine its size - it is long, medium or short. Then compare all three phalanxes. If they have normal, correct proportions, it means that both reason and willpower are harmoniously combined in a person. However, very often one of the phalanges looks disproportionately long or, conversely, too short. It also happens that the thumb is recognized as long only because of its long first phalanx, and the short one, on the contrary, is called such only because its second phalanx is disproportionately small.
Long first phalanx
The long first phalanx of the thumb speaks of a person’s habit of commanding everyone, which, by the way, can eventually develop into real tyranny. Such a person is naturally characterized by the desire to be active and first in everything, but it is better not to indulge this. The short first phalanx of the thumb betrays a person who prefers to shirk business, and every time he finds reasonable explanations for his behavior.
Long second phalanx
The long second phalanx indicates that a person is eager to understand literally everything, even that which does not personally concern him at all. And if this phalanx of the thumb is short, then in front of you is a careless person: he does not have a sense of tact, and he rarely thinks about the consequences of his words and actions.
tapering second phalanx
The second phalanx, tapering upwards, differs markedly in its characteristics from just a thin one, so they should not be confused. The phalanx we are interested in narrows towards the center of the finger, which makes the finger very similar to an hourglass. This sign is a sign of great ability and ability to get along with others. People with the second phalanges of the thumb tapering upwards are usually very fond of animals.
Flat first phalanx
The first phalanx of the thumb may be flat. This is easily determined when looking at the finger from the side, that is, in profile. The tip of the finger in this case seems to align from its pad (and sometimes even from the bottom of the phalanx) to the end of the nail. This speaks of the excitability and nervousness of nature - such a person simply needs to let off steam from time to time, otherwise he will become too irritable. The larger the first phalanx of the thumb, the more physical activity is characteristic of a person ... (Sometimes this type of thumb is called "nervous".)
thumb shape
Usually the thumb has a rounded shape and a noticeable joint between the phalanges. And the proportions of the phalanges themselves most often depend on the type of finger - it is pointed, conical, trapezoidal or square. The width of the thumb is considered normal if the size of the thumb itself is proportional to all other parameters of the hand. The wide thumb stands out too clearly from the rest, so you immediately pay attention to it. The thumbs of both hands must be compared with each other in order to identify possible differences in structure.
Wide thumb
A wide thumb means slowness in actions and thoughts, and usually such fingers are also long at the same time. If the wide finger is short, then you have a person of mood in front of you. A wide thumb can also have a standard, slightly rounded shape. This allows us to judge the perseverance of a person in achieving the goal, and in tense situations - even aggressiveness.
Thick, massive finger
A thick, massive thumb is a sign of primitiveness. But at the same time, people with such fingers are usually honest and frank (if, however, there are no other negative signs on their palms). The width of the individual phalanges of the thumb is also an important characteristic - here the interpretation will be based on such concepts as willpower and intelligence.
Thin thumb on hand
A thin thumb is considered as such if its width is significantly less than the standard one. If, in addition to everything, it is also long, then its owner clearly lacks strength and energy, although in some cases this is compensated by natural prudence and patience. The second phalanx of such a finger is usually somewhat longer than the others (which, however, is found only upon careful examination). This sign indicates that the desires of the person sitting in front of you often come true: he can wait a very long time for a suitable opportunity, but if it appears, he will never miss it. Thin thumbs are characteristic of pointed and conical hand types, and the first phalanges of such fingers are usually thinner. If the thumb is thin, but short, it means that its owner, although he has a refined taste, does not particularly aspire to anything high - such a finger simply needs some other, preferably positive, signs on the palms. It happens that the thumb of a square type has a thin second phalanx. Then this is a sign of a truly tireless person ...
Thumb length
long thumb
A long thumb is a sign of high intelligence. The owner of such a finger always keeps everything under control and sometimes even controls his abilities. Moreover, the long thumb enhances all other characteristics of the palm. If the thumb is very long, this indicates that the life of its owner is one hundred percent subordinate exclusively to the mind, but not to feelings.
short thumb
A short thumb indicates spinelessness, weak will and an almost complete lack of logic in a person and, accordingly, reduces the strength of all other palm signs directly related to will and logic. And a very short thumb is typical for a person who would rather accept the opponent’s point of view than defend his own. A long thumb generally enhances the action of the qualities inherent in pointed and conical hands and fingers. And often so much that it goes beyond the boundaries of generally accepted norms. Therefore, it is with these two types that the thumb of medium, standard length is best combined. A short thumb also seems to give a person the opportunity to realize all his qualities, but only under certain circumstances.
Flexibility of the thumb
The thumb is an intriguing part of hand flexibility analysis. As you take your client's hand and test it for flexibility in the manner described above, gently move your thumb away and move it back and forth. Since you are not focusing on the area of the thumb, the client will not pay attention to it and you will be able to conduct a casual but accurate analysis. Flexible thumbs. If the thumb moves back and forth easily and you don't feel any resistance—sometimes the thumb falls to the side the palmist pulled it to—this indicates a person who easily makes ready-made decisions. He tends to follow the group or the desires of his partner. This does not mean that this person is not capable of thinking for himself. It simply indicates his unwillingness to make decisions that may have an impact on people.
Stiff thumbs that can be relaxed. A stronger resistance in the thumb indicates a person who can make decisions on most issues. This means that consciousness is focused on achieving the goal and is not amenable to other people's influence. However, there are slight differences in these values. If the thumb becomes stiff when touched or pressed, and then softens a little, this indicates that the person is reacting defensively to change. When the position is felt secure or the person is confident, then the person (and with it the thumb) relaxes.
Stiff thumbs. Thumbs that are stiff at first touch and remain so are a definite sign of stubbornness. These people may miss a lot of fun and interesting things in life because of their reluctance to try something new. Sometimes a hard thumb can indicate a narrow or limited view of things, perhaps a result of a limited environment. Positive qualities, in the case of a hard thumb, can be the ability to focus and immunity to “scattering” when it comes to making plans for the long term.
Angle between thumb and palm
Place your hand on the table with your palm down and pull your thumb out as far as possible. You will see that a certain angle is formed between the thumb and forefinger of the hand.
Sharp corner
If the angle is sharp, that is, the thumb does not deviate strongly enough, then you have a person who is cautious, selfish and far from frank.
Less acute angle
A less acute angle, almost reaching a straight line, indicates a person's strong desire for self-expression. How this trait manifests itself in each particular case directly depends on other features of his character. But if the angle is right, then you are faced with an uncontrollable nature that lacks self-control. Among people with such hands, there are often those who sometimes behave simply unpredictably.
Right angle
The wider the angle of deviation, the stronger magnanimity and sentimentality are manifested in a person, but if the angle exceeds 90 degrees, these traits already go beyond all reasonable limits.
Much in character depends precisely on the angle of deviation of the thumb: it shows how developed a person’s willpower is and whether he is able to control his destiny. After examining the angle of deviation of the thumb, you can proceed to the study of the finger itself - at this stage of the analysis of the hand, this would be logical.
Let's move up the arm and pay attention to the knuckles.
Placement of the thumb in the palm
On fig. shows the place where your thumb is attached to the palm of your hand. Mentally draw a horizontal line along your wrist. At the base of the thumb, i.e., at the bone joint where the finger separates from the palm, draw a second imaginary line.
Now measure the distance between these two lines.
The higher the base of the thumb, that is, the greater the distance from the wrist to the base of the thumb, the more difficult it is for you in general to start and finish your affairs. You put off your tasks from day to day. And only when the pressure from the outside becomes unbearable, you begin to act. In order for you to finish the work once started, you also need to be stimulated.
The lower the base of the thumb is, the smaller the distance, the easier it is for you to work on your own initiative.
The meaning of the joint between the phalanges of the thumb
The knotty joint between the phalanges of the thumb (as well as between the phalanges of other fingers) indicates an analytical mindset, meticulousness and scrupulousness of a person. However, these characteristics become especially important when it comes to the thumb, because it is precisely its phalanges that are responsible for intellectual abilities. The influence of a knotted joint is so great that it can almost completely neutralize the effect of smooth joints! Therefore, study everything very carefully - this will greatly help you in the future when examining the hills of the palm. The knotted joint strengthens the short thumb the most! A smooth knuckle cannot seriously affect the characteristics of a short thumb, but it can also be very useful in interpreting the hand - in case all other fingers turn out to be knotty.
The thumbs, which have a specific, non-standard shape, also have their own names, but I will not list them here so as not to completely confuse you: the above characteristics will be enough to analyze the thumb. If the thumb is wide and thick, the primitiveness of its structure is obvious. If it is also short, they say about it that it looks like a club.
What does the thumb mean in palmistry
Equally important is the thumb in palmistry. He is a conductor, manager, boss, director of the hand. If the fingers are represented in the form of trees, and the palm is in the form of a garden, then the thumb will act as a gardener. It reflects the strength of your will and determination. With your thumb, you can control your own life and your surroundings. The scale of the required field of human activity is determined by the angle between the thumb and the palm.
The angle between the thumb and palm can reflect the mood at the moment. Pay attention to your thumb in different situations. How do you feel when you have to perform in front of a large audience? What is your mood at home on the weekend? What do you feel while playing sports?
What does thumb mean in psychology
The controlling thumb shows us the mental capabilities of a person, which in one way or another complement his innate abilities, reflected in the palm of the controlling hand. The subordinate thumb operates on the same principle - it only adds the psychic possibilities indicated on it to the characteristics of the subordinate palm. True, in this case, it is also necessary to take into account the age of the client. If a person is young, then the subordinate palm tells what he will achieve in the future, and if he is already aged, then you will most likely be able to get information only about what he has already achieved.
The thumb, being the main link between the initial analysis of the hand and further, more thorough examination of the palm, gives us the key to understanding the emotional qualities of a person. The third phalanx of the thumb is also the zone of the palm, which is called the hill of Venus and is responsible for the main character traits of a person.
The thumb can be set high, medium or low, which are characteristic features of a number of personality traits. A long thumb indicates a developed intellect, and a very long one indicates that your client is an insensitive person. A short finger is a sign of indecision.
What is the thumb responsible for?
Long thumbs are known to further enhance character. However, their influence may not be entirely favorable, especially when it comes to pointed, conical or - in some cases - trapezoid types of the hand. A long thumb works best with a square hand. But a short thumb will be considered a disadvantage in any scenario.
The first, second and third phalanges are responsible (in the same order) for willpower, reason and feelings. With the help of the first two phalanges, you can already make a lot of interesting discoveries.
A wide thumb is a sign of slowness, a thick thumb is a sign of primitiveness, and a narrow thumb is a sign of patience. The second phalanx of the thumb tapering upward indicates extraordinary abilities, and the flat first phalanx indicates excessive nervousness of a person. The density and flexibility of the thumbs, the shape of their nails will also tell about the personality of the subject.

Megan Fox's Weird Finger
With a disease called brachydactyly. People suffering from an ailment have irregularly shaped fingers. Their phalanges have a slightly club-shaped or deformed appearance. However, this does not prevent her from being one of the most beautiful women on the planet and having millions of fans around the world. In 2008, Megan became known as the world's sexiest woman after her appearance in the Transformers movie.
The actress has minor physical anomalies on both hands: a shortened Megan Fox is distinguished by an expanded phalanx and a nail plate. From a medical point of view, it is necessary that he be able to touch other fingers. And if this does not affect functionality in any way, as in the case of an actress, then a visible defect can be considered simply a cosmetic flaw. According to Megan Fox, the disease of her fingers does not bother her at all, as well as her army of thousands of fans.
Cosmetic imperfection or hereditary disease?
On average, one out of a thousand babies is born with a changed shape of the fingers. Leading experts in the field of hand surgery explain this feature as follows: the diseased nail is often very short and wide. It is usually hereditary, although the cause may be a history of frostbite of a limb or trauma to the nail plate in childhood. At a young age, the thumb often looks more or less normal, but over time, its shortened appearance becomes more noticeable. According to experts, the club-shaped thumb of Megan Fox is nothing terrible only if this imperfection does not cause physical pain.
What is brachydactyly?
Brachydactyly is a disease that affects the fingers and toes, which are the shortest bones in the human body. This disease is usually inherited as a dominant trait. Despite this usually congenital feature, a person may well live a normal life if it is not associated with other diseases. There are many conditions that can affect toe deformity. Sometimes this is one of the signs of dwarfism. If no symptoms of the disease are found in the parents, then it can be said with confidence that the children will not have such a deviation.
How to live with brachydactyly? It's quite common to just adjust your writing habits a bit to compensate for shorter bones, but in principle, this cosmetic imperfection allows you to do everything that ordinary people do. Sometimes some therapy may be needed to help you properly handle writing objects (pen, pencil), eating utensils, and other small items.

Fox also took part in the filming of the second part of the turtles ( 2016) Michael Bay has worked with Megan Fox for years, along with many other famous directors.
Recently, the hands of Megan Fox have attracted increased attention. It is generally accepted that celebrities in the field of cinema, music and television are perfect beings without flaws and flaws, they are beautiful both on the big screen and in life. Public opinion puts pressure on them about how important it is to always look a certain way. That is, flaws are generally not considered the norm when it comes to celebrities.
The very first thing you need to pay attention to is the general appearance of the hands:
the ratio of size to height and figure of a person;
width and fullness;
color of the skin;
the length of the fingers and their shape;
joint flexibility and mobility.
Hand size
small hand occurs in people who are ambitious and morbidly proud, but unable to put their ideas into practice. If, in addition, the hand is smooth, then this indicates a quick reaction.
Big hand belongs, as a rule, to a person who is thorough, reasonable and unhurried. Before making any decision, he thinks over all the options, possibilities and ways of execution for a long time and scrupulously.
Wrist
If the hand has an oval-shaped brush, then this indicates impressionability, passion and sensual impulses.
If the hand is thin and bony, then this indicates cowardice and indecision. The owner of such a brush is not made for wrestling.
The average value, and besides strictly proportional to the size of the body, indicates a balanced character.
A long and wide brush testifies to the dexterity, cunning and predatory disposition of its owner.
A short brush is a sign of a bad character, and a long and thin brush indicates a tendency to various manias and pettiness.
A thin and ugly hand indicates a short life.

Short and wide hands are usually found in people who are industrious, loyal and resourceful.
Gestures
A lot about a person can tell his gestures at rest and when he is excited.
If a person constantly pulls something, then this indicates nervous tension. If he waves his arms and makes broad gestures, then this is a sign of sociability, talkativeness and an open generous soul.
A handshake immediately characterizes a person. If he shakes the partner's hand with all his might, then he clearly wants to give the impression of a strong and self-confident person, although he is not.

A quick and sharp handshake is inherent in people who are always in a hurry, indifferent to other people's problems.
Vicious and deceitful people hide their palms from prying eyes, as evil thoughts live in their souls.
An open and honest person who "does not hold a stone in his bosom" always holds out his hand, palm up. If the palm is turned down, then it immediately becomes clear that you are shaking the hand of a stupid, narrow-minded and arrogant person.
Equally important is the position of the hands when walking. If the arms hang freely along the body, and the fingers are slightly clenched, then it means that a prudent and trustworthy person with a calm and peaceful temperament is walking.
Hands dangling on the sides of the body mean gullibility and slowness in thoughts and actions.
If the palms are clenched into fists, then there is a bully and a brawler.
The habit of keeping hands relaxed and moving them back and forth is inherent in people with uncontrolled emotionality.
Hand shape
There are seven types of hands, differing in shape and appearance. It should not be assumed that the distinctions here are clear and definite. On the contrary, the boundaries are rather blurred.

The length of the fingers relative to the palm
The length of the fingers relative to the palm is of the utmost importance. The thickness of the fingers, gestures characteristic of a particular person, as well as the location of the fingers on the palm and the distance between them are also taken into account.
Short and thick fingers with a long palm indicate frivolity, laziness, indifference and dishonesty.
Proportionality and placement of fingers
Proportional fingers speak of kindness.
Small and thin fingers are a sign of a weak character and insecurity.
Fingers sitting tightly one next to the other indicate a good disposition, modesty and secrecy. These people have common sense in everything. They are thrifty, in old age they become stingy.
The hallmark of a successful person is the habit of holding the middle and index fingers together.
If the middle finger is pressed against the ring finger, then this indicates emotional instability and the need for psychological support.
A protruding little finger clearly indicates an independent character. Such a person shows amazing stubbornness and always tries to insist on his own.

Thumb
It must be said right away that among all fingers, it is the thumb that carries the basic information about the energy, vitality and endurance of a person. It is the most important and is able to compete with all the other fingers put together.
The norm of the thumb is the length at which its top, if you press the finger to the side of the palm, reaches the middle of the joint of the index finger.
If the thumb reaches the articulation of the lower and middle joints or crosses it, then this is a sign of strong will.
A short thumb indicates weak will and spinelessness.

A good sign is the equal length of the nail and middle joints. It indicates the balance of mind and will.
If the nail joint is much larger than average, then this is a bad sign. In this case, a person's volitional qualities develop to blind uncontrollable stubbornness.
When the middle joint is much longer, the person will be forever subject to indecision.
Thickening on the nail joint speaks of the mind and love of order. Thickening of the middle joint indicates an active nature.

Nails are very important. Their length, color, shape and width are considered. When measuring the length of the nails, only the part that cannot be cut is taken into account.
According to the length of the nails can be divided into three types: normal, short and long (Fig. 11).
Determining the type of nails is very easy. A normal nail occupies exactly half of the top joint of the finger. The long one is more than half, and the short one is less.
Owners of long nails are quite calm and reasonable. They tend to show restraint even in extreme situations. These people never enter into an argument in vain and do not seek to insist on their own at all costs.

Short nails indicate discipline, love of order, a desire to lead and command people.
Curved, uneven, twisted nails characterize their owner as a masterful person with a predatory character.
If thin hands have bent and pointed nails, then they speak of an embittered and restless character. In addition, the owner of such nails has weak lungs.
A quarrelsome and quarrelsome person has short, thick and hard nails. It also indicates good health and long life.

Long, wide and rounded nails immediately indicate a practical and sober person.
Thick, long and curved nails are found in treacherous and immoral people.
Heart disease is indicated by wide nails, bordered by a bluish tint at the edges.
The combination of short nails and a soft palm speaks of a natural craving for criticism. If, in addition, the nails are pale, then the character of their owner is deceitful and weak.
A reddish tint on the nails indicates a hard character.
Wide short nails have inveterate debaters and restless natures.
Square wide nails indicate innocence, sincerity and optimism.
Thin and brittle nails are the first sign of poor health.
Owners of short, narrow and curved nails need to pay attention to the spine, as serious problems can arise with it.

Hand color
By the color of the hands, one can judge the health and character of a person.
Red hands indicate bad health. They also serve as a sign of irritability.
Hands of a dark red color, turning almost into purple, are not only a sign of poor health, but also invincible laziness.
