Types of Fingers have different meanings and they show a person"s personalities in Palmistry. Finger reading is an important part of palm reading. In relation to the fingers, the thumb is normally higher than the bottom joining of the index finger. The index finger however reaches a third of the way up the nail of the middle finger. The ring finger normally reaches just above the nail of the middle finger and the little finger should reach the top joint of the ring finger.

The relative size of palm and fingers is assessed to gain a quick and sharp insight in inclination of the person towards work. To assess the comparison, the fingers have to be turned downwards towards the palm.


•If the fingers cover 3/4th of the entire palm, then the fingers and palm are in proportion.
•If the fingers reach more than that, fingers are said to be long.

Balanced Length of Fingers: Such people are balanced people. Though they do not miss the broader picture of any work, they also account for necessary details. Their decisions and thoughts are very reliable.

Long Fingers: The people with these kinds of fingers are wise, detailed and oriented. They take full consideration for a lot of thinking and logic while doing a work. They are perfectionist and are not satisfied, until they accomplish flawless work. For them, doing a proper work is more important than a deadline. They seem slow, since they take many things in account and painstakingly improvise on the work done. They tend to worry over little things and are often very sensitive.

Short Fingers: People with comparatively short fingers are quick thinkers and doers. They do not take much time for thinking and usually avoid the details. For them getting the work done fast is more important than getting it perfectly done. They leave the fine points behind, but create a pace at their workplace. These kinds of people take most things casually and do not care much about the appearances. When the short fingers are stiff, they denote a cautious, reserved and a cowardly spirit. When these fingers are supple, they indicate a charming, curious and kind nature.
