The Finger of Mercury
A long finger of Mercury
should reach above the tine separating the first two phalanges of the finger of
Sun. It indicates influence, activity coupled with brilliance and sufficient
knowledge of human nature.
A short clumsy or crooked
finger of Mercury is often gifted to robbers, swindlers and pickpockets.
The tips of the fingers
must, individually, be noted, and spatulate, square, conic or pointed qualities
applied to the finger and it’s Mount. Notice also whether any finger appears to
stand more erect than the others, with one or more of the other fingers leaning
towards it-this erect finger will be the strongest, as every finger leaning
towards another gives some of its strength to the finger to which it leans.
Fingers, to be well balanced, should be set evenly on the palm, as, if low set,
the strength of its Mount is reduced, while a high set finger increases the
strength of its Mount.
You must also note whether
the fingers are close together (Fig. 5) at their base, or if there is a space
between them. If the space between the thumb and the side of the hand is very
wide, it will indicate one who is generous, a lover of freedom and
independence, and who chafes under restraint. The fingers of Jupiter and Saturn
separating widely show a carelessness of conventionalism: a person who is not
bound down by the views of others but who will form his or her own opinions.
The fingers of Saturn and Sun being widely separated show one careless as to
the future and with a trend to extravagance and not stiff in manner. The
fingers of Sun and Mercury widely separated indicate independence in action,
one who will do as he or she wishes, regardless of what others may think.
When you find all the
fingers widely separated (Fig. 6), you may expect free thought, Bohemianism,
and freedom of action, someone easy to get acquainted with and utterly straight
and bent indifferent to the opinions expressed by others. If all the fingers lie
bunched together, you will have an individual difficult to get acquainted with,
very stiff, a slave to formality, stingy and self-centered, somewhat
suspicious.
Phalanx
The respective phalanges,
or sections of the fingers, are counted first, second or third from the tips of
the fingers downwards towards the palm. Here in these phalanges are the Three
Worlds of Palmistry- the mental, abstract or material, and the animal
propensities; they sustain the qualities of the Mount, and show whether they
will be used in the mental, practical, or physical worlds.
The first (nail) phalanx,
if longest, shows that the mental will rule. The second, when longest and
largest, tells us that the business side will predominate in the subject. If
the third is strongest, it indicates the predominance of the material
qualities, and that coarseness or brutishness may be expected-the subject is
largely absorbed in the physical side of his or her life.
The longer the first
phalanx the more closely will mental matters absorb the attention. With the
second phalanx long and thick, the moneymaking side will lead; while if the
third phalanx is very long and thick, a great love of eating and drinking,
luxury and pleasure will predominate.
If, however, the third
phalanx, instead of being thick is long, narrow and waist like in shape, then
the subject only cares for money for what it will buy. He may have an enquiring
turn of mind; this is shown by the chinks between the fingers. If the fingers
are very long and the chinks very wide he will pry into everyone’s affairs from
sheer curiosity.
Tips
In the study of the
fingers, the shape of the tips must be considered as to their bearing and
effect on the qualities of the respective fingers, in order to dissect
thoroughly the character of the subject.
To speak of types of Hands
is not only misleading, but is distinctly erroneous, as you will seldom find a
hand containing all the ringers of the same class of character.
Hence finger tips are
classed as spatulate, i.e., broad and flat-looking, square, conic or rounded,
or pointed, according as they appeal to the eye.
The Spatulate tip (Fig.
7), is the broadest; its possessor always seeks the practical and commonsense
side of things, and is ever on the go, inspiring others with enthusiasm and
activity. He is fond of sports, manual exercises, animals, and makes an
excellent emigrant. He is strong lover and is constant and true.
The Spatulate tip also
shows great originality. This man does not follow any well-ordered system or
established rules, but likes to find out new ways of doing things, and he
invents new machines. Independent, he goes his own way through life, caring
little what others may say of him. He will not only discover, but build up and
develop new lands. Everywhere he is a power in activity, originality and
enterprise.
The Square tip (Fig. 8),
is one which is distinctly square at the ends of the fingers, and indicates
order, system, arrangement and regularity in everything. Disorder is to them an
abomination, whether in the home, shop or office. They think and act by rule,
and love punctuality in all. They are polite, strict observers of social
customs, and resent any breach of accustomed forms. It is the useful tip, and
marks the good book-keeper, clerk, merchant, librarian, secretary,
mathematician and scientist. These tips, as in the case of the Spatulate, add
their qualities to each individual finger and Mount. In addition to the
foregoing, the Square tips are skilful in all games where precision and
accuracy are an essential; hence they are often goods shots, as well as being
careful in dress, and methodical in habits.
The Conic tip (Fig. 9), in
shape forms a distinct cone at the end of the fingers, and it has many degrees
of development. When the cone is not pronounced, there will be less of the
Conic qualities, and it will partake of the Square or Spatulate. The Conic tip
reveals a nature artistic, impulsive, intuitive, quick and impressionable, one
to whom the beautiful and harmonious strongly appeal. To these tips the
precision, regularity and punctuality of the Square tip is a nuisance and a
restraint.
Conic tips possess talent,
quickness of mind, and great intuitiveness-this natural intuition, though one
of their greatest gifts, is also an element of danger, as they are often led by
it against the dictates of reasons. They are emotional and sympathetic, easily
influenced, and as a result, they are not constant in their love affairs.
Pointed tips (Fig. 10),
once seen, can never be mistaken for others, as their long, narrow and
excessively pointed build cannot be forgotten. There is nothing of a practical
nature in these pointed tips; all is inspirational and idealistic, and their
possessors live in dreamland. To them the beautiful is everything. They may be
seen in all classes of society, but wherever found it will indicate one who is
a dreamer and unpractical, one to whom life is a continual disappointment,
unless they happen to possess the means to indulge their constantly changing
fancies.
In dealing with all
classes of Tips, it must be borne in mind that a soft hand will make the
Spatulate tip only a lover of action, not one to indulge in it personally. It
will also decrease the force of Square tips and add considerably to the
idealism of Conic and Pointed tips. The energy shown by the elastic consistency
of the hand, as well as a strong thumb, will be necessary to bring out the
greatest possibilities of the tips.
