Knots Part (1)
Turning to the other side
of the hand, the backs of the fingers
will impress you as belonging to one of two classes- those having the joints of
the phalanges developed and Knotty, or those which are Smooth. These two
general classes are again divided into those which have both joints Knotty and
those where only one joint is thickened.
Two distinctly opposite
classes of people re indicated by these Knotty or Smooth fingers. On many
fingers the first joints only are developed; this development is known as the
Knot of Mental order, and gives order in ideas and arrangement of thought.
On other hands we find the
second joints of the fingers developed, and these are known as the Knots of
Material order, which give punctuality and neatness in the home, office and
general surroundings.
The development of both
Knots on the fingers show both Mental and Material order and system; it gives
the indication of one who acts slowly, thinks carefully over things, and
applies the attributes of mental and material order to whatever he does.
Naturally this leads to the habit of analyzing everything, and reasoning out
all questions, hence they are not carried away by impulse or enthusiasm, but
investigate all things; they are studious, and they always give an impression
of quiet energy and commonsense.
If only the Knot of Mental
order is developed, it will indicate the possession of an intelligent mind,
a systematic way of thinking, mental
carefulness and regularity providing the Knot is of normal size. Excessive
development produces cranks, or even insanity.
If the second or Knot of
Material order only is seen well developed, it will tell of one whose home is
neat and orderly; the personal appearance will be neat, and the subject will be
methodical in his life and habits. If the tips of the fingers are Square, he
will be carried away by his sense of system.
When Knotty fingers are
seen, the tips of the fingers must always be noted. If these are Square tips,
they add Square qualities to the Knotty ones in this case you will find a
fanatic for red-tape, a severe disciplinarian and hard task-master. If the Tips
are Spatulate, with the first Knot developed, you will have a subject who is
extremely obstinate and cranky. Conic or pointed tips lessen the force of the
Knots, and constitute the ideal Knotty hand.
The consistency of the
hand must be noted, as the Knots require the elastic consistency for their
fullest expression.
If the Knots bulge so as
to distort the fingers, the characteristics will be very pronounced; while if
they bulge out at the sides of the fingers, as well as on the back, it is an
excessive development, as it will cause the first phalanx of the finger to bend
inwards, in which case the stiff qualities of the mind will predominate and
hobbies will be ridden to death.
Many hands will be found
which are distinctly smooth in appearance, no Knots being seen on the fingers.
The fingers may have any sort of tips, and impulse, intuition and inspiration
belong to them. Sentiment and fancy, rather than reason, will guide their
actions, and invariably with them first impressions are the best and the safest
to follow. They are artistic in their taste, quick to think, and act always by
inspiration. They love the things which phase the eyes, are tasteful in dress,
but if the fingers are coarse and thick, tins may degenerate into a love of
show and display. These qualities do not belong solely to high-grade
characters; they are to be found in the lowest walks of life. Smooth fingers
always indicate one who relies, not on reason, but on inspiration, impulse and
intuition, who loves the beautiful according to his or her standard, and who in
general acts on the spur of the moment.
Smooth-fingered persons
are emotional and far more susceptible to and influenced by passion (not
temper) than those with Knotty fingers. They are successful in business and
life, yet there is an element of danger and uncertainty about them, for their
inspirations are often wrong. A good Head Line is needed to ensure safety with
the Smooth-fingered individual.
Smooth fingers with the
first joint marked by a Knot often denote a talent for invention, or intuition
in science.
If the Head Line is
defective and twisted, and declines on the Mount of Moon, with a short second
phalanx of the Thumb, though intuition remains, it will generally be wrong and
lead to false conceptions.
The Tips of the Smooth
fingers must be taken into account. If pointed, the most artistic side of the
Smooth fingers is indicated. If Square, the quickness and inspiration will be
on practical lines. If Spatulate, it will add originality, independence and
activity, but such a combination will need very careful handling to prevent the
native from becoming a crank and consequently
unsuccessful in life.
Again the fingers should
be noted for their Length, as they will be long, normal or short. The category
under which they come may be tested in the manner previously described, by
closing the fingers over the palm so as to ascertain how far towards the wrist
they will reach.
Long hands are to be met
with in which the palm as well as the fingers will be very long, though the
fingers may be but a trifle over normal length. These Long hands tell of one
who is not only slow going, but also talks slowly and carefully enunciates
every syllable of his words. The long hands indicate the possession of a mind
that acts slowly and they must be taken in connection with long fingers.
A great difference will be
found in the character of those with long thin fingers and those with long
thick fingers. Thin fingers accentuate the qualities of long fingers. Thick
fingers make long fingers less given to pushing long fingered qualities to
excess.
The long fingered person
is one who goes closely into details, accepts nothing as a whole is very
careful in small things but often allows large ones to pass unnoticed and is
always more or less suspicious and easily offended. He is careful in all
things, very sensitive, and net in appearance. As a rule, he possesses a good
memory and makes a good book-keeper; in fact in any office where accuracy and
attention to detail is essential he is at home. With Square tips, their
regularity and detail will make the possessor an ideal accountant.
