What does the finger joint mean in palmistry?

Knuckles

The index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger are all composed of three knuckles. Among them, the first joint at the top of the finger represents [spirit], the second joint in the middle represents [reality], and the third joint at the bottom represents [matter].

Some people have smoother finger lines, while others have more uneven finger lines. The difference lies in the size of the finger joints. There are two joints on the fingers. Some people's joints protrude outward and are relatively thick, while others' joints are relatively smooth.

People with big finger joints give people a strong feeling, so people judge that they have busy lives. This is not the case. People with big finger joints have a strong desire for knowledge and a spirit of learning. They think in an organized way and do things cautiously. They are generally scholars or researchers.

Finger joints and knuckles of the hand

People with big finger joints are mostly from the Orientals. They value spirituality over material things, fame over wealth, and devote their entire lives to enriching their spiritual world. Fingers with prominent joints indicate strong analytical thinking ability. People with this type of fingers are not easily deceived by superficial phenomena. They like to analyze things in depth based on facts and logical analysis. They usually lack initiative and are not easy to express their feelings directly. Suitable for research work in psychology or theology. Because they are used to being self-centered, they have many plans but cannot implement them one by one, they lack the ability to coordinate, have clear likes and dislikes towards others, and are easily trapped in autism.

People with protruding knuckles are usually thoughtful and cautious. They will not argue with others face to face, but will seize opportunities to do surprising and bold things. Among them, people with a higher first joint are methodical and organized, and they do what they say without delay; people with a higher second joint like to pay attention to trivial details and have obsessive-compulsive disorder. People with very thick first and second joints are usually cautious, quick to react, and have the ability to adapt to changes. The finger with larger joints on both the upper and lower joints is called the "philosophical finger", while the finger with only the lower joint larger is called the "material finger". People with a "materialistic finger" attach great importance to cleanliness and most of them are mysophobic.

Compared with people with large finger joints, those with smaller finger joints and smoother finger lines tend to be smart, sensitive, and quick in handling matters. They are used to judging things based on intuition, so they tend to act impulsively. People with this kind of fingers are intuitive but impulsive. They are impatient and bored of dealing with details. When making decisions, they mainly rely on intuition and inspiration rather than careful analysis of various factors, so it is difficult for them to get satisfactory results. During interactions, they are aware of their feelings, such as anger, love, and joy, and can express them easily.

If the fingers are short and smooth, you are likely to show characteristics such as impulsiveness, impatience, and aversion to details.

If the fingers are long and smooth, you are a rational person, good at analysis and cautious in making decisions.

Knuckle length

If the first knuckle is the longest, it means the person likes to meditate.

If the second knuckle is the longest, according to the specific meaning of the fingers, it shows that the person has strong hands-on ability.

If the third knuckle is long and strong, the person pays more attention to the material aspects of life, or physiological needs, such as money, food, etc. One thing that must be noted is that the length ratio between the knuckles may be different for each finger.

If the third knuckle is the thinnest and there is a gap between the three knuckles, the person is broad-minded, friendly to others, and very generous with money and emotions. The larger the space between the knuckles, the weaker their ability to control and save money, and their money is often used for others.

Many friends who come to have their palms read will shake their heads and sigh and say that they “failed to pass the three tests”. The so-called “passing the three tests” means that the little finger exceeds the top knuckle of the index finger. This kind of physiognomy is indeed said to mean “no regrets in life” in ancient Chinese palmistry. However, in this world, where is the long road to success, how many people can truly be without regrets? So why should we worry about “not passing the three tests”?

What do the five fingers represent?

Thumb: It reflects a person’s judgment of the strength of his will. People with big and thick thumbs have noble character, are healthy and long-lived, and often hold leadership positions. People who move their hands while chatting with others are very alert and are not easily fooled or taken advantage of. Therefore, people who move their thumbs while apologizing to others do not mean it sincerely. As for a baby who still holds his thumb between the other four fingers a few days after birth, it means that his physical condition is extremely weak.

Index finger: It shows a person’s desire for fame, ambition and sensitivity. People whose index fingers are thicker and longer than other fingers have strong self-confidence and ambition, and are politically savvy. Therefore, they often occupy leadership positions and have the qualifications to succeed in their careers.

Middle finger: It is the longest among the five fingers, and it also shows the strength of thinking. People whose middle fingers are thicker and longer than usual are usually cautious and careful in their actions. They are not good at social activities and prefer a quiet life of thinking alone. If a woman has a descending line starting from the second joint, it indicates infertility.

Ring finger: It is the material desire that expresses artistic temperament. People with very long ring fingers are extremely greedy for luck and addicted to gambling. Especially those with thick and long hair, not only have the temperament of an artist, but also have a smooth environment and ample food and clothing.

Little finger: It shows whether one has social skills. People with thick and long little fingers are usually very intelligent, good at eloquence, and have good social skills.
