The Fingers

The amount of space between the fingers also tells us much about the subject.

A large space between the thumb and the hand shows a strong-willed individual. When the thumb falls inside the hand, the will is broken. Compare the left and right hands to see if this is an accustomed feeling or a new experience.

Between the index and middle fingers, a large space tells of a person whose actions will be different from others. Their Ego and ambitions do not need to rely on hard facts.

The space between the middle and ring fingers shows the logic, common sense, and planning for the future. A wide space indicates little concern for the future and for monetary issues, while a narrow space tells of a preoccupation with finances and logical planning.

When the baby finger is widely separated from the hand, the subject thinks in a way uniquely his or her own (way out in "left field"). A narrow space shows thoughts which conform to the "normal".

Knuckles

Knuckles are either smooth or knotted. Smooth knuckles indicate that the mind shifts easily from one topic to another. Knotted knuckled individuals cannot easily stop thinking about any unfinished project or idea, and love adding detail to their work. Knotted knuckles will tend to finish every project, while smooth knuckles will not.
