THUMB

                                        

Of all the aspects of hand the thumb plays the most important role in life. In our daily life, without hand there is no life and without thumb there is no hand. So in daily life this is important and in palmistry thumb has the same role as in daily life.  Besides will and logic the palmist can read much more personality, temprament and character from thumb.

The ideal thumb is which is long, open, flexible and not rigid, having almost equal phalanges, quite thick, rounded and slim at the bottom. Such thumb reflects the person having firm will, strong logic and adjustable in life. This can be said one of the best thumb.

The thumb has to phalanges. First phalange is of will and the second is of logic. If the first one is longer that the second then the person is having strong will power and if the second phalange is longer than first then it reflects the logic or reasoning. Best one is when the both phalanges are equal.                                                                                                           

The ideal length of thumb is which crosses the half of third phalange of index finger. If it is not up to that point then this is called a short thumb.

The angle forms between index finger and the thumb is called “The angle of Generosity”. The wider the angle the better it is and the person is generous towards society. A stiff thumb reflects that the person is rigid, conservative and difficult to open in life. He will always stick to his guns.

The mobility of thumb also reflects the personality. The more flexible and bending thumb shows that the person in very flexible and adjustable in life. He will take everyone with him in life. One don’t have to push him.

The thumb which makes the shape of bow (while bending backward) means that the person is flexible and easily adjustable in life. The person is easy going, don’t stick to his decisions or can’t make big and important decisions in life. He is always follow others decisions.

A short thumb means the person is a follower and not a leader. He can’t impose his decisions on others. Such persons are very successful in love matters.

These are some of the characteristics of thumb. Whenever one goes thru the lines of hand and speaks something, one must and should also read the thumb very carefully.
