Which Way Do They Go?

Now that you've examined your thumb, how about the four fingers? Hold your palm in a normal, relaxed position. Which way do the fingers seem to lean? Is one finger more dominant than the others? Note which one is more dominant and be sure to review this finger's meaning, since it obviously marks your most dominant personality characteristics.

If all of your fingers incline toward your Jupiter finger, you are a highly ambitious person. If all of your fingers lean toward your Saturn finger, you are a person whose life is very melancholy. You have an almost gothic desire to be different from others, and usually set yourself apart from them in negative ways that assure you of solitude. Believe it or not, many comedians have fingers that lean toward a dominant Saturn finger, proving that laughter can overcome sadness with some ambition and hard work.

When you are reading palms for others, they might become very self-conscious at this point. To prevent a person from fidgeting, ask that he or she place the elbows on the table and drop the hand that you aren't reading down until you are ready to switch hands.

If your fingers lean toward your Apollo finger, you are passionate in your pursuit of an artistic or creative profession, and you have your heart set on becoming well known for your talents. If all fingers point toward the Mercury finger, you have incredible business acumen and should pursue entrepreneurial interests, especially if your Jupiter finger is long and slender.

Wide, Open Spaces

Now relax your hand to check the natural spacing between fingers. More often than not, the spacing between fingers is not at all even — there is a dominant space between two or more fingers.

A wide space between the Jupiter and Saturn fingers indicates an independent spirit or a free thinker, while a wide space between the Saturn and Apollo fingers indicates an ability to rise above challenging circumstances. A wide space between the Mercury and Apollo fingers means you act independently, much like an entrepreneur.

Sometimes, all the fingers are straight and equally spaced; if yours are configured in this lucky manner, you will achieve everything you set out to do in life without much struggle or angst. You are blessed!
