When I mention that I read hands, I often end up with an open hand in front of my nose. "Can you read mine?" Actually... I can't read flesh. I am addicted to prints! I find it much easier to see the lines and signs when they are white on black, than when they are darker pink on lighter pink. Also, the shape of the mounts and fingers, the spacing of the fingers and the texture - all very meaningful in an analysis - can only be seen on a print. Of course, fingernails, wrist size and signs, and hand colour, temperature and flexibility can't be seen on a handprint, even though they can tell a lot from a person. But to me, they are only complements. The prints themselves are more important! The following items (fingertips, thumb angle and bottom phalanges) can only be seen on prints. Each one is explained below the illustration. SHAPE OF FINGERTIPS Conic (1) You usually express yourself in an artistic, aesthetic or idealistic way. You like order and try to find perfection. You are refined but can be picky. You enjoy making things beautiful around you. You make sure that you are not hurting anybody in your speech. However you can also be disappointed in others, so try to understand that they may not have your artistic sense. Spatulate (2) You usually express yourself in an inventive way. You are expressing your personality with an attitude of sharing and expansion. You are spontaneous, enthusiastic and broad-minded. You are probably dexterous but may sometimes be a bit uncoordinated. Square (3) You usually express yourself in a practical way. To express your personality, you need concrete structures. You are generally self-disciplined, down to earth, and reliable. You are productive and could succeed in business. Since you can be cut and dry, remember to add smoothness to your approach. The shape of your fingertips may vary from finger to finger. Since each finger represents one area of your life, apply the above information to each area as follows: Thumb: What you really are deep down, your basic instincts Forefinger: Your role in society, your ambition, your job Middle finger: Your sense of right and wrong, your seriousness Ring finger: Your self-reliance, your desire to serve and share Baby finger: The way you communicate, your business sense THUMB ANGLE Thumb angle equal to 45 degrees (4) You are open and spontaneous in the way you are expressing yourself. Thumb angle less than 45 degrees (5) You fear the unknown or the unfamiliar and you feel preoccupied with your inability to cope with challenging situations. By accomplishing modest tasks, you can learn to become more confident and you will be better prepared to undertake life's challenges. Thumb angle more than 45 degrees (6) You are very expressive and spontaneous. Your excessive enthusiasm may overwhelm and alienate others. You must exercise self-restraint in your relationships and also guard against taxing your own energy. SHAPE OF BOTTOM PHALANGES Very wide (7) For you, the body and the senses are very important. You probably enjoy good food and comfort and are very aware of sensual pleasures. You likely have a good sense of touch. Barely visible on the print (8) Your comfort is not a priority. You have other things to worry about! (like social or mental priorities) If the phalanges are also short, you may have a general lack of energy or passion. Balanced (9) You understand that your body and comfort are important, but you give them as much priority as the social and mental areas of your life. Now Try the Quiz!
