What A Thumb Tells About A Man And His....

I
recently watched a movie with a well-known actor playing the part of
the action hero. During a close-up scene, I had the chance to see the
hand – in particular the thumb. As I found myself studying the
shape of the thumb, including its nail, I realised I was doing the
same thing my palmistry teacher told me about years ago! |

You
don't have to be an expert palmist to know a lot about a person when
looking at their hand. Indian palmists have been known to look mostly
at the thumb itself to know whether someone is truly a man of action
or simply a wannabe lounge lizard.
When I read palms at a corporate event or at one of my Home Psychic Parties, I always
check first for the flexibility of the thumb before looking at the rest of the palm.
If it
bends backwards really easily from the joint, it's regarded as
flexible. People with these thumbs are generally easy-going,
optimistic and positive, as well as being flexible in their
approaches to things in life. They're the kind of person who can
sometimes be seen as a “yes man” but that is usually only to buy
some time rather than create a scene.
Stiff
thumbs tell me that the person is determined. They can also be very
reliable. If the thumb is really stiff as a board (rather than being
firm), you would be hard pressed to ever get them to change their
mind.
If you
are in business or working in sales, this can be very useful
knowledge to have. For example, if someone has a flexible thumb, the
chances are they are a very easy person to persuade or get onto your
side. Depending on the shape, they can also be your greatest ally. On
the other hand (pun not intended), a stiff thumb is not someone you
can sell to easily. If you try pushing your ideas to them, they will
more than likely throw up a block for you and dig their heels in out
of stubborness … even if you know that you are right. When that
happens, step back a little in your approach and then after a while
try again from a slightly different angle.
Another
tell-tale sign is the size of the thumb. The longer the thumb, the
more successful the person is said to be. They can also be quite
dominant, show natural leadership skills and influence.
Napoleon
Bonaparte, for example, was said to have had an extremely large thumb
and history tells exactly how much he did manage to achieve before he
lost.
If a
person has a short thumb, they are usually lacking in will and can be
stubborn usually for no apparent reason. Medium thumbs are more
balanced in their outlook, tending to be more fair in life and are
quite capable of asserting themselves when needed.

Some of
you are also thinking, at this point, about the rumour that the size
of a man's thumb is directly related to the length of his penis. For
the purpose of this nugget of information, I have not actually
researched this so cannot verify.
People
who are more likely to be successful in business also have large
thumbs. There's another interesting thing to check the next time you
look at a movie about businessmen. Have a look at Leonardo di
Caprio's thumb when you're watching him in The Great Gatsby or The
Wolf Of Wall Street and then tell me if he was well cast for the
roles!
The
other parts to look at, which is probably not as easy to do in
everyday life, are the phalanges of the thumb. On the first phalange
(at the tip) is the section that illustrates the will. The second
phalange represents a person's logic.
If the
will is larger than the logic section then that person is likely to
be one who acts before they have put enough thought into something.
This can be good if they are taking the right action before
procrastination or negative thoughts set in to change their minds. Of
course, it can also mean they can be quick with rash thinking likely
to “make the decision right later” rather than make the right
decision.
If the
logic is larger than the will section, you are likely to have a
procrastinator looking you in the eye. The degree of this can be
further clarified by checking their palm itself which is beyond the
scope of this article but it's a very good indicator just the same.
Either way, they tend to put more thought into things before acting
upon their decision.
When
both logic and will are about the same or equal, you have a person
balanced between their willpower and their thinking. Their decisions
are well thought out and are likely to be very balanced between their
positive and negative thinking (which can hold a procrastinator
back).
Chances
are you have been looking at your own thumb while reading this,
particularly if you are a male. Some ladies are looking at and
thinking about some men's thumbs as well.
There is
a lot more that the thumb can tell us, including the thumbprint and
the skin texture itself, which I discuss in greater detail during my
talks.
