The scar is a reminder of a car accident that the girl got into at the age of 14.
Despite this mark, the girl became a very successful model.

In fact, this is not entirely true, but the actor received the scar in the womb.
A similar scar can appear as a result of microdamage to the fetus.
On average, one in 600 children is born with this defect.

Marks on Sila's face

At one time there was a legend that Sil received these scars as a result of a ritual in his native tribe.

Megan Fox's ugly thumbs

FHM's Sexiest Girl of 2008 is sexy until you look at her hands.
Doctors call this birth defect brachydactyly. The last phalanges of the fingers develop more slowly than the rest.
As a result, fingernails grow shorter and wider than usual.

The interpretation of the thumb plays an important role in palmistry. I met Indian palmists who made most of their predictions based on the analysis of the thumb, and this is not accidental. The thumb can tell a lot about a person's character. For example, how he makes decisions and how he implements them.

Man is the only creature in nature endowed with an opposable finger. Chimpanzees follow closely behind humans, but their fingers are very primitive compared to ours. A unique feature of our fingers is the radial nerve, which is made up of the same nerve fibers as the central part of our brain.

The same nerve fibers run through the human spine. The radial nerve gives us a unique ability for analytical thinking, which distinguishes humans from all other living beings on the planet.

THUMB LENGTH

The larger the finger, the more significant success a person can achieve. It is known that Napoleon had unusually large thumbs, and this is not surprising. There is one useful and exciting exercise: watching the hands of people speaking on television.

You will probably notice that many actors play roles that are completely unusual for them in real life. An example of this is an actor with a small thumb playing the role of a financial tycoon. In India, it is believed that the size of the thumb is directly related to the level of success that a person can achieve.

This interpretation seems too fatalistic to me, and yet there is no doubt that it is people with large thumbs who most often manage to take leading positions in the modern world. The fact is that they are more purposeful, ambitious and persistent than others.

Charlotte Wolfe conducted a study of the thumbs of highly accomplished people and found that almost all of them had thumb lengths that fell within the average range. It's just that people with long thumbs are much more persistent and persistent in achieving their goals.

Long thumb

If you happen to meet a person with a very long thumb, know that he is capable of taking on the role of leader in any situation. This person is smart, determined and has tremendous willpower.

Short thumb

People with short thumbs usually lack willpower. They can be extremely stubborn, often unreasonably and for no particular reason.

Medium length thumb

People whose thumbs reach medium length (reaching at least the middle of the lower phalanx of the index finger) are fair, independent and can stand up for themselves. They think clearly and have significant willpower.

When the thumb, when viewed from the side of the nail, looks wide, this indicates that a person is capable of anything to achieve his goal.

A person whose thumb appears fleshy is abrupt and straightforward and may at times appear tactless and even rude. He is stubborn and strives with all his might to always do everything his own way. He will not stand behind the price when it comes to his own independence.

PHALANGES OF THE THUMB

Each finger on the human hand is divided into three parts called phalanges, although it appears that the thumb has only two phalanges. The Mount of Venus - a fleshy section of the hand at the base of the thumb, surrounded by the line of life - is its third phalanx.

Most often, the thumb is located at an angle of 45° relative to the hand. This indicates a person’s ability and desire to maintain traditional social principles and his moderate conservatism. In general terms, the larger the given angle, the more generous the person is.

Generosity Angle

Angle greater than 45°

Accordingly, this angle is sometimes called the “bounty angle.”

If this angle exceeds 45°, this indicates an energetic, open person, with the ability to charm and influence others.

He loves adventure and always strives to learn something new and unusual. If, in a relaxed state, the thumb is kept at a distance from others, this indicates a calm, open, sociable and carefree person.

If the value of this angle is less than 45°, this indicates that the person is selfish. Most likely, he is cruel, narrow-minded and proud. His view of the world around him is very narrow.

Practicality angle

The utility angle is the angle formed on the outside of the thumb where it meets the palm. You will soon discover that most hands do not have this angle, while some people have a noticeable bulge in this place. The larger this convexity, the more practical the person is.

These people are what we call jacks of all trades; they are skilled and dexterous and enjoy activities that allow them to actively use their hands. This angle is also known as the time angle because it gives a person a particularly keen sense of time. Such people are always punctual, they know how to seize the right moment and pause brilliantly.

Height angle (sound angle)

The pitch angle, or angle of sound, is located at the very base of the palm under the thumb, where it connects to the wrist. The height angle indicates a person who feels rhythm and has an ear for music.

Gifted musicians, dancers and singers in most cases have pronounced angles of height and practicality. The practicality angle gives them a sense of time and tempo, and the pitch angle gives them an ear for music and a sense of rhythm.

Take a closer look at photographs of the world's leading musicians and performers of all genres, from classical to popular music, and you will notice how obvious these angles are on their hands. The next time you see a photograph of Elvis Presley, pay attention to his hands - they have a very pronounced angle of practicality and angle of height.

THUMB FITTING

High-set thumb

The thumbs can be located at different heights in relation to the palms, so they are divided into high-set and low-set.

A thumb is considered high-set if it starts high above the wrist. People with such fingers are distinguished by originality, openness and optimism. They are typical extroverts.

Low-set thumb

People with low-set thumbs, on the other hand, are reserved and cautious. In most cases, the thumb position falls somewhere between high and low.

TIP OF THUMB

Few modern palmists use D'Arpentigny's hand classification system, but the terms he developed are still actively used in the analysis of fingertips, including the thumb.

If the tip of the thumb is square, it indicates a person who is practical, simple, down to earth and fair. Such people always try to play fair.

If the tip has a spatula shape, this indicates a businesslike and active person.

If the tip has a conical shape, this indicates a sensitive and sophisticated person.

Often the conical tip is combined with a second phalanx that is tapering and concave on both sides. This indicates a person’s diplomacy and tact. When he says no, he does it so politely, kindly and intelligently that it is impossible to be offended by him.

The pointed tip of the thumb indicates a subtle and insightful person who will be able to present even the worst news gently and calmly.

The wide tip indicates a cautious, thorough person who has his own convictions.

If the tip is wide and flat, and the upper phalanx resembles a bump, such a finger is called a killer finger. This finger shape is usually hereditary. People with such fingers can be very patient, but sometimes they explode over trifles. There is no doubt that it was thanks to this feature that the “killer finger” got its name.

FINGER MOBILITY

The thumbs are divided into inflexible and mobile. If the finger bends freely back at the joint, it is considered mobile. A person with mobile thumbs is open, positive, and optimistic. He does not tolerate pressure and in conflict situations prefers to retreat without entering into an argument or causing a scandal.

If the thumb is inactive and does not bend back at the joint, it is called inflexible. A person with this type of thumb is reliable, constant, stubborn, persistent and purposeful. He never backs down, even if he finds himself under very strong pressure.

There was a period in my life when I worked as a salesman, and knowledge of palmistry helped me a lot then. If a customer stood in front of me with movable thumbs, I could press lightly on him, and, yielding to the pressure, he would make a purchase.

If I had to deal with a person whose thumbs were stiff, I did not even try to put pressure on him. If I tried to click on such a client, all my attempts would end in failure. Moreover, I would erect obstacles to future success with my own hands.

INDIAN SYSTEM OF INTERPRETATION OF THE THUMB

I have been indelibly impressed by the Indian system of thumb interpretation ever since a Bombay palmist predicted my fate with it more than thirty years ago.

At that time, I myself was a palmist for a living and was amazed that an Indian colleague completely ignored my palm, focused on my thumb, and based his predictions solely on his analysis. Palm readers have read my thumbs on numerous occasions, and I have always been amazed at how accurate and detailed their predictions are.

Unfortunately, the few books from which one could master the Indian system of thumb interpretation were written in the local languages ​​- Tamil, Sanskrit and Pali. Some palmists offered to teach me the basics of this art, but I was never able to comprehend it enough to put it into practice.

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in New Delhi with my longtime friend Sameer Upadhyay. We also discussed the thumb interpretation system. It was thanks to Samir that I was able to expand my knowledge of palmistry, and I am very grateful to him for his generosity and kindness.

THUMB TYPE

The palmist begins by feeling and examining the thumb and determining what type it belongs to. This is based on a system identical to the Western one. A finger that is inflexible and inactive indicates a person who is stubborn and unyielding. A finger that bends back with ease indicates that the person is flexible and yields when pressure is applied to him.

The shape of the finger is determined based on the D’Arpentigny system, which is actively used by both Western and Eastern palmists. In India, the D'Arpentigny hand classification system is also in use. True, in the West today only part of the system associated with the classification of thumbs is used.

DERMATOGLYPHICS

Then the palmist analyzes the relief pattern of the skin on the fingertip.

THUMB LINES

Nine lines (rekha) may appear on the thumb. A finger containing all nine at the same time is extremely rare, but at least two of them can be found on every finger. These are the two lines that divide the phalanges. One of them passes between the phalanx of will and logic, and the second - between the phalanx of logic and the hill of Venus.

HORIZONTAL LINES

The horizontal lines begin on the side of the thumb that is closest to the Jupiter finger and, ideally, completely encircle it. It is desirable that these lines be as smooth and even as possible.

Phala rekha (wheat line)

Phala rekha is better known as the wheat line. Sometimes it is also called a rice line. The word "phala" is translated as "fruit" or as "consequence of the result." This term is associated with karma. It should be noted that the phrase “karma-phala” is translated as “the result of an action.”

Accordingly, a good deed gives a positive result. And a bad deed, in turn, gives rise to negative consequences. This line is also sometimes called "pushpa" (flower) because it resembles a flower in appearance. Phala rekha passes between the phalanges of logic and will.

Its absence on the finger is extremely rare. The presence of a line indicates that a person will never go hungry. If there appears to be a grain of rice or wheat hidden within the line, this indicates that the person will live a happy and fulfilling life.

Typically, the wheat line consists of two intertwined lines, representing a man and a woman. This line in most cases begins as a single line, but is soon joined by a second line, which symbolizes a companion or life partner.

Analysis of the wheat line allows us to determine the time when this fateful meeting will occur (or has already occurred). Minor defects or interference on this line are usually associated with problems in personal relationships.

If the beginning of the wheat line is wavy or there are breaks in it, this indicates a difficult childhood.

If the line is wavy in the middle section, this indicates problems in adulthood. And, of course, if the line is wavy at its end, this indicates that the person will have to face difficulties in old age.

A wide hand is evidence of developed mental abilities.

A narrow hand is a sign of a rich imagination and developed imagination. Sometimes this is a sign of selfishness and a tendency towards tyranny.

A firm hand is a sign of good performance and low intelligence. This is the hand of an excellent worker-performer.

A soft hand is found among gentle and sensual people. Which, by the way, are prone to laziness.

A cold hand is usually found in people with an indifferent attitude towards the entire world around them.

There are seven main types of hands, each of which can provide a lot of fairly detailed information. To determine what type of hand a hand is, you need to show maximum attention and patience.

Primitive hand

Primitive (elementary) hand, sometimes also called the basic hand. Outwardly, it is quite easily identified, standing out among other types of hands. The elementary hand is wide, short-fingered and thick. Width is its main feature. The fingers on such a hand are thick, inactive, with square tips and rough, ugly nails. The thumb is either not completely adjacent to the palm, or is turned up. The skin on the hand is rough, but the hand itself is quite strong and hard.

Already at first glance, such a hand evokes associations with physical labor and rudeness. This is what usually happens. Such a hand is an unflattering evidence of the mental development of a person, in which one can suspect the predominance of animal instincts, a weak, lazy imagination, despite all chattility and even sensitivity of nature. The owner of this type of hand is usually distinguished by physical strength and low mental abilities. Therefore, he earns his living through hard work. As for the character of a person with such a hand, he is a lazy and indifferent person, he is not at all demanding. It has been noticed that people with an elementary hand, although they do not make any special demands on life, as soon as they are deprived of support, they fall into depression. At such moments they need consolation.

Perfect hand

The ideal (spiritual) hand has a narrow shape, it is very graceful and neat. This is a small, thin, delicate hand with smooth graceful fingers, rather long and pointed nail phalanges, with a well-formed but narrow thumb. Graceful and delicate, it stands out with its beauty and grace among other hands. The palm of this type of hand is smooth and delicate. The fingers are long and their tips are pointed rather than rounded. The thumb is formed neatly and proportionally. Usually, the spiritual hand is very pale, with visible veins. With all her appearance she reflects the word “refinement”. The thinner and neater it is, the more original and creative the owner is. Owners of this type of hand are characterized by phenomenal impracticality, inexperience, inability to stand up for themselves, neglect of the material side and idealization validity.

People who are characterized by this type of hand are dreamers, aesthetes or mystics. They constantly have their head in the clouds, living in their dreams and fantasies. Guided by the highest spiritual ideals, they are truthful, faithful, trusting, and experience a deep need for love and freedom. In beauty, such people are sensitive, gentle in their behavior, often remain misunderstood even by their loved ones, and sometimes become hopelessly confused in life. The narrower the palm at the base of the fingers, the more original the nature of its owner. They are practically not adapted to the real world. Spirituality for the owners of an ideal hand is much higher and more valuable than materiality. The only salvation in the ocean of a cruel and harsh world for them is a well-developed intuition.

Conical hand

The conical (artistic) hand is sometimes also called the “aristocratic hand”. The general shape resembles a cone, because the hand tapers towards the fingers. Almost complete symmetry can be traced. The fingers are also conical in shape. This hand looks very beautiful and graceful. The fingers are quite long and thin, with rounded tips and beautiful nails.

A person who is characterized by this type of hand is a very creative and original person. This is by no means the hand of a famous artist. However, the owner of a purely artistic hand is inspired. These people are often referred to as “a man of art.” He has a fairly highly developed sensuality; he perceives the world rather emotionally. Common sense and practicality will never dominate his traits. It is difficult for such a person to fit his life into the established framework, which is why he rarely becomes a good family man. At the same time, he is quite a vulnerable, impressionable and romantic person. Owners of conical hands make decisions intuitively and instinctively. Sometimes they are prone to lies.

His feelings usually prevail over his mind; he is influenced by form and appearance before anything else. Not accustomed to delving into phenomena, he is content with the external side of life, in dreams of creative freedom he is constantly looking for new acquaintances, striving for a change of place, e knows the limits of pleasure. The latter is especially pronounced in the so-called hand of pleasure, which is rougher than a purely artistic hand (its fingers are thicker, its nails are rougher and lack graceful outline). She characterizes someone who is naturally eccentric, wasteful, prone to lies, tawdry, living only to satisfy her own needs.

Mixed hand type

Mixed hand type is quite common. Outwardly, it is difficult to attribute it to any specific type; it combines a variety of features. Therefore, it is easy to mistake, for example, an artistic hand for a conical element, and a philosophical hand for a very developed practical one. Or, for example, artistic - for mental. When interpreting it, it is necessary to evaluate the prevailing features. Typically, there are two types of hands to analyze.

If the types of hands that a mixed hand contains conflict with each other, it is worth choosing the average. The owner of a mixed hand gradually possesses all the qualities that are inherent in the original main types. If people with typical hands tend to have stronger rather than diversified character traits, then a mixed type of hand indicates more diversified interests and abilities.

In general, we can say that mixed-type people have a fairly adaptable character and are quite multifaceted. Sometimes this quality leads to the fact that a person begins to take on many different things at the same time and does not achieve success in any of them. Although sometimes the opposite happens. This can be a very versatile developed person who can achieve success in several things at the same time.

Determining the character of a person with a mixed hand type is an indicator of the qualifications of a palmist. He must subtly feel what traits are present in the character.

Ideal from a chironomical point of view, a hard and flexible hand, indicating an active mind, the ability to coordinate theory with practice. No matter how much such hands work, they never become rude.

Spade hand

The spatulate hand has rather wide, blunt fingertips. The whole hand gives the impression of a shovel. The ends of the fingers seem to be crushed, and therefore wider than the rest. The hands are usually large, as is the thumb. The latter shows determination and self-awareness

This hand is quite similar to the elemental hand. It is wide, with straight, thick fingers. The main difference from the elementary (primitive) hand is a slightly less rough appearance. But she cannot be called beautiful and graceful.

People with this type of hand are quite versatile. They cope well with any physical labor, but at the same time they are very prone to ingenuity. These are people of action, not thinking. They are independent and original, and can successfully find themselves as an engineer, athlete, and sometimes even a musician. The owner of such a hand has a craftsman superior to an artist and is able to apply acquired knowledge in practice. He has a practical mind, diligence, and a love of activity.

Such hands are characteristic of a smart and savvy performer, but not of a leader. Those with spade-shaped hands are demanding about life. Hardworking, calm and neat, they value constancy and like to be confident in everything.

Smooth fingers indicate a love of comfort and shine when they are rational enough.

Administrative hand

The administrative (useful) hand has a square shape. Angular shape of fingers and hand. The hand is firm and strong. This is why it is sometimes called the “square hand”. It is characterized by a strong, medium-sized palm. The fingers are usually of medium size with rectangular knobby fingers and strongly developed phalanges and thumb, the palm is somewhat concave, rather hard. This type is very common.

Quite often this hand is found among managers and officials. These are very persistent and persistent people who respect and maintain order in affairs. They are conservative and do not like changes and innovations. Often, very strict self-discipline helps them achieve success and reach unprecedented heights. People with such hands are prone to organizational and regulatory activities, distinguished by endurance, patience and perseverance, and a love of order.

Those with administrative hands are very calm and consistent. But they are completely devoid of imagination and originality.

Such people make a good, calm family man. They are quite undemanding and take everything for granted. And sometimes they completely forget about attentions, surprises and romance. Their highly energetic spirit lacks free range, they do not understand what it means to act under the influence of feeling.

Became a real sensation. Does the fatal beauty really have physical flaws? However, stars are also people, and nothing human is alien to them. Despite their complexes, they have learned to live with their shortcomings and accept themselves as they are. If you carefully examine Megan Fox's hands, you will notice that her thumbs are slightly irregular in shape. Is she worried about this? Does this prevent her from being desired and in demand both on screen and in cinema?

Megan Fox's strange finger

With a disease called brachydactyly. People suffering from the disease have irregularly shaped fingers. Their phalanges have a slightly club-shaped or deformed appearance. However, this does not prevent her from remaining one of the most beautiful women on the planet and having millions of fans around the world. In 2008, Megan became known as the sexiest woman in the world after her appearance in the film Transformers.

The actress has minor physical abnormalities on both hands: Megan Fox's shortened one is distinguished by an expanded phalanx and nail plate. From a medical point of view, it is necessary that he be able to touch other fingers. And if this does not affect functionality in any way, as in the case of the actress, then the visible defect can be considered simply a cosmetic flaw. According to Megan Fox, the disease in her fingers does not bother her at all, nor does her army of thousands of fans.

Cosmetic imperfection or hereditary disease?

On average, one baby in a thousand is born with altered finger shapes. Leading experts in the field of hand surgery explain this feature as follows: the nail with the disease is often very short and wide. It is usually hereditary, although the cause may be a history of frostbite on a limb or trauma to the nail plate in childhood. At a young age, the thumb often looks more or less normal, but as time passes, its shortened appearance becomes more noticeable. According to experts, Megan Fox's club-shaped thumb is nothing terrible only if this imperfection does not cause physical pain.

What is brachydactyly?

Brachydactyly is a condition that affects the fingers and toes, which are the shortest bones in the human body. This disease is usually inherited as a dominant trait. Despite this usually congenital feature, a person can live a normal life if it is not associated with other diseases. There are many conditions that can affect finger deformity. Sometimes this is one of the signs of dwarfism. If no symptoms of the disease are found in the parents, then we can say with confidence that the children will not have a similar deviation.

How to live with brachydactyly? It's quite common to just have to adjust your writing habits a little to compensate for the shorter bones, but in principle, this cosmetic imperfection allows you to do everything that normal people do. Sometimes specific therapy may be needed to help with proper handling of writing utensils (pen, pencil), eating utensils, and other small items.

Megan Fox: filmography

Megan Fox has succeeded in her career. Her roles, as a rule, came down to hot and sexy beauties. In 2004, she starred in the film Carly, even as a teenager she managed to play a beauty queen. For two years, from 2004 to 2006, she played a minor role in the TV series Sydney Shanovki. Despite the fact that it did not last too long, the actress’s attractive appearance did not go unnoticed.

But his role in the box office blockbuster “Transformers” (2007) brought him massive popularity and fame. Megan played the role of the protagonist's girlfriend. The film, along with dizzying special effects, is replete with scenes where the actress’s appearance is presented from the best angle. Together with Kirsten Dunst, she played a more complex role in the film Sophie Maes (2008). In the film “Jennifer's Body” (2009), an incredibly sexy beauty with a divine body appeared before us in the role of a cruel and bloodthirsty killer.

In 2010, a film called “Jonah Hex” was released, where Megan plays a woman of easy virtue. It's hard to imagine anyone else looking better than Fox in the role. In 2014, the actress played April O'Neil in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This film is devoid of explicit scenes, but Megan still looked great in her slightly modified image. The burning brunette transformed into a cute blonde. Fox also took part in the filming of the second part of the turtles ( 2016). Michael Bay, as well as many other famous directors, have worked with Megan Fox for years.

Recently, Megan Fox's hands have attracted increased attention. It is generally accepted that celebrities in the field of cinema, music and television are perfect beings without flaws or shortcomings, they are beautiful both on the big screen and in life. Public opinion puts pressure on them about how important it is to always look a certain way. That is, flaws are generally not considered the norm when it comes to celebrities.

The interpretation of the thumb plays an important role in palmistry. I met Indian palmists who made most of their predictions based on the analysis of the thumb, and this is not accidental.

Long thumb

If you happen to meet a person with a very long thumb, know that he is capable of taking on the role of leader in any situation. This person is smart, determined and has tremendous willpower.

Short thumb

People with short thumbs usually lack willpower. They can be extremely stubborn, often unreasonably and for no particular reason.

Medium length thumb

People whose thumbs reach medium length (reaching at least the middle of the lower phalanx of the index finger) are fair, independent and can stand up for themselves. They think clearly and have significant willpower.

When the thumb, when viewed from the side of the nail, looks wide, this indicates that a person is capable of anything to achieve his goal.

A person whose thumb appears fleshy is abrupt and straightforward and may at times appear tactless and even rude. He is stubborn and strives with all his might to always do everything his own way. He will not stand behind the price when it comes to his own independence.

PHALANGES OF THE THUMB

Each finger on the human hand is divided into three parts called phalanges, although it appears that the thumb has only two phalanges. The Mount of Venus - a fleshy section of the hand at the base of the thumb, surrounded by the line of life - is its third phalanx.

He loves adventure and always strives to learn something new and unusual. If, in a relaxed state, the thumb is kept at a distance from others, this indicates a calm, open, sociable and carefree person.

If the value of this angle is less than 45°, this indicates that the person is selfish. Most likely, he is cruel, narrow-minded and proud. His view of the world around him is very narrow.

Practicality angle

The utility angle is the angle formed on the outside of the thumb where it meets the palm. You will soon discover that most hands do not have this angle, while some people have a noticeable bulge in this place. The larger this convexity, the more practical the person is.

These people are what we call jacks of all trades; they are skilled and dexterous and enjoy activities that allow them to actively use their hands. This angle is also known as the time angle because it gives a person a particularly keen sense of time. Such people are always punctual, they know how to seize the right moment and pause brilliantly.

Height angle (sound angle)

The pitch angle, or angle of sound, is located at the very base of the palm under the thumb, where it connects to the wrist. The height angle indicates a person who feels rhythm and has an ear for music.

Gifted musicians, dancers and singers in most cases have pronounced angles of height and practicality. The practicality angle gives them a sense of time and tempo, and the pitch angle gives them an ear for music and a sense of rhythm.

Take a closer look at photographs of the world's leading musicians and performers of all genres, from classical to popular music, and you will notice how obvious these angles are on their hands.

The thumbs can be located at different heights in relation to the palms, so they are divided into high-set and low-set.

A thumb is considered high-set if it starts high above the wrist. People with such fingers are distinguished by originality, openness and optimism. They are typical extroverts.

Low-set thumb

People with low-set thumbs, on the other hand, are reserved and cautious. In most cases, the thumb position falls somewhere between high and low.

If the tip has a spatula shape, this indicates a businesslike and active person.

If the tip has a conical shape, this indicates a sensitive and sophisticated person.

Often the conical tip is combined with a second phalanx that is tapering and concave on both sides. This indicates a person’s diplomacy and tact. When he says no, he does it so politely, kindly and intelligently that it is impossible to be offended by him.

The pointed tip of the thumb indicates a subtle and insightful person who will be able to present even the worst news gently and calmly.

The wide tip indicates a cautious, thorough person who has his own convictions.

If the tip is wide and flat, and the upper phalanx resembles a bump, such a finger is called a killer finger. This finger shape is usually hereditary. People with such fingers can be very patient, but sometimes they explode over trifles. There is no doubt that it was thanks to this feature that the “killer finger” got its name.

FINGER MOBILITY

The thumbs are divided into inflexible and mobile. If the finger bends freely back at the joint, it is considered mobile. A person with mobile thumbs is open, positive, and optimistic. He does not tolerate pressure and in conflict situations prefers to retreat without entering into an argument or causing a scandal.

If the thumb is inactive and does not bend back at the joint, it is called inflexible. A person with this type of thumb is reliable, constant, stubborn, persistent and purposeful. He never backs down, even if he finds himself under very strong pressure.

There was a period in my life when I worked as a salesman, and knowledge of palmistry helped me a lot then. If a customer stood in front of me with movable thumbs, I could press lightly on him, and, yielding to the pressure, he would make a purchase.

If I had to deal with a person whose thumbs were stiff, I did not even try to put pressure on him. If I tried to click on such a client, all my attempts would end in failure. Moreover, I would erect obstacles to future success with my own hands.

INDIAN SYSTEM OF INTERPRETATION OF THE THUMB

I have been indelibly impressed by the Indian system of thumb interpretation ever since a Bombay palmist predicted my fate with it more than thirty years ago.

At that time, I myself was a palmist for a living and was amazed that an Indian colleague completely ignored my palm, focused on my thumb, and based his predictions solely on his analysis. Palm readers have read my thumbs on numerous occasions, and I have always been amazed at how accurate and detailed their predictions are.

Unfortunately, the few books from which one could master the Indian system of thumb interpretation were written in the local languages ​​- Tamil, Sanskrit and Pali. Some palmists offered to teach me the basics of this art, but I was never able to comprehend it enough to put it into practice.

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in New Delhi with my longtime friend Sameer Upadhyay. We also discussed the thumb interpretation system. It was thanks to Samir that I was able to expand my knowledge of palmistry, and I am very grateful to him for his generosity and kindness.

THUMB TYPE

The palmist begins by feeling and examining the thumb and determining what type it belongs to. This is based on a system identical to the Western one. A finger that is inflexible and inactive indicates a person who is stubborn and unyielding. A finger that bends back with ease indicates that the person is flexible and yields when pressure is applied to him.

The shape of the finger is determined based on the D’Arpentigny system, which is actively used by both Western and Eastern palmists. In India, the D'Arpentigny hand classification system is also in use. True, in the West today only part of the system associated with the classification of thumbs is used.

DERMATOGLYPHICS

Then the palmist analyzes the relief pattern of the skin on the fingertip.

THUMB LINES

Nine lines (rekha) may appear on the thumb. A finger containing all nine at the same time is extremely rare, but at least two of them can be found on every finger. These are the two lines that divide the phalanges. One of them passes between the phalanx of will and logic, and the second - between the phalanx of logic and the hill of Venus.

HORIZONTAL LINES

The horizontal lines begin on the side of the thumb that is closest to the Jupiter finger and, ideally, completely encircle it. It is desirable that these lines be as smooth and even as possible.

Phala rekha (wheat line)

Phala rekha is better known as the wheat line. Sometimes it is also called a rice line. The word "phala" is translated as "fruit" or as "consequence of the result." This term is associated with karma. It should be noted that the phrase “karma-phala” is translated as “the result of an action.”

Accordingly, a good deed gives a positive result. And a bad deed, in turn, gives rise to negative consequences. This line is also sometimes called "pushpa" (flower) because it resembles a flower in appearance. Phala rekha passes between the phalanges of logic and will.

Its absence on the finger is extremely rare. The presence of a line indicates that a person will never go hungry. If there appears to be a grain of rice or wheat hidden within the line, this indicates that the person will live a happy and fulfilling life.

Typically, the wheat line consists of two intertwined lines, representing a man and a woman. This line in most cases begins as a single line, but is soon joined by a second line, which symbolizes a companion or life partner.

Analysis of the wheat line allows us to determine the time when this fateful meeting will occur (or has already occurred). Minor defects or interference on this line are usually associated with problems in personal relationships.

If the beginning of the wheat line is wavy or there are breaks in it, this indicates a difficult childhood.

If the line is wavy in the middle section, this indicates problems in adulthood. And, of course, if the line is wavy at its end, this indicates that the person will have to face difficulties in old age.

Mallika Rekha

Mallika is a small white flower that looks similar to jasmine. Traditionally, it is presented as a gift to the Hindu god Shiva. The Mallika Rekha passes between the phalanx of logic and the Mount of Venus. It must be clear and clearly marked. This symbolizes a happy family and home life. Sometimes this line resembles a single, unbreakable chain. In this case, it indicates a person who is bold, brave, and has a strong character.

Black dots on this line symbolize conflicts between family members over finances.

If this line is noticeably thicker and wider than the wheat line, this indicates that it will not be easy for a person to find an ideal partner, and having met him, it will not be easy to maintain a harmonious relationship with him. Breaks on this line indicate that a person will experience many ups and painful downs in life.

Four more horizontal lines are located on the logical phalanx. If all four lines are present on the finger, they divide the phalanx into five parts. The first three lines (madhura, mandara and mana) are quite rare. The last, fourth, line of the logical phalanx (rati rekha) is almost always found.

Madhura Rekha

"Madhura" is translated as "having sweetness." Madhura rekha is the line closest to the wheat line. It should be subtle but distinct. This indicates a person who is compassionate and sociable. You can always find a common language with him.

Mandara rekha

Mandara is the name of a sacred mythical mountain. This word is also synonymous with heaven and mirror. Mandara rekha indicates a person's love of travel. Such a person is distinguished by innate tirelessness and endurance, due to which sooner or later he begins to experience a craving for travel.

Mana rekha

Mana is an abstract term for the place where our thoughts, dreams, feelings, emotions and desires reside. This is an unfavorable line. Its presence indicates a person’s propensity for extramarital affairs and infidelity.

Rati rekha

Rati was the wife of Kamadeva, the Hindu god of love. The word "rati" means intimate contact.

Rati Rekha must be interpreted in conjunction with the lines of romantic affection located on the edge of the palm under the Mercury finger. It shows how happy a person will be in love.

Ideally, this line should be clear, clearly marked and there should be no breaks in it. The island on the rati rekha indicates that during the specified period of time the chosen one will be struck by illness.

If the line is broken in the middle, it indicates that the person will be happy for the first half of his life, after which he will have to face problems and troubles. As a rule, they will be caused by the health of the partner.
If the line continues after the break, this indicates that difficulties will be overcome.
If the rati rekha consists of a series of consecutive broken lines, it is a symbol of celibacy.

VERTICAL LINES

Three vertical lines may appear on the thumb. The vajra rekha, which bisects the finger, is always the longest of them.

Vajra rekha

The vajra is an ancient weapon that looks like a large metal arrowhead. It was this weapon, according to legend, that Indra, the god of rain and lightning, used. Lightning is considered to be a spark struck by Indra's vajra.

The vajra rekha is a thin line located on the side of the thumb that faces the finger of Jupiter and directed towards the mallika rekha. Sometimes the vajra rekha begins on the Mount of Venus. This line is better known as the diamond line because people endowed with it can become very rich.

By the way, the word “vajra” is synonymous with the words “diamond” and “steel”. However, in order for a person to get rich, it must be clear and clearly expressed. If the kesara rekha is also clearly marked, this indicates that the person will make money without much effort. The wavy shape of the vajra rekha indicates that the person will earn his capital through speculative means.

Kesara rekha

The word "kesara" has several meanings. It refers to saffron, a common culinary seasoning in the East. Kesara is also called the pistil of the saffron flower. The same word is used to describe the mane of the Indian lion.

Kesara rekha runs parallel to vajra rekha, but is on the opposite side of the thumb. Generally, the kesara rekha is a short line that begins on the mount of Venus and ends on the mallika rekha line.

The presence of this line indicates a gradual increase in family well-being.
If the kesara rekha is subtle and difficult to discern, it indicates that the person will experience financial success over a long period of time and that his wealth will accumulate over many years.

If the kesara rekha is wide and clearly visible, it means that the person will make money quickly.
If it is deep, clearly defined and extends to the wheat line, it indicates a person born into a wealthy family. Most likely he will be interested in art. People who do not have Kesara Rekha find it difficult to achieve financial success.

Ripu rekha

Ripu rekha begins on the mount of Venus and goes up the thumb to the wheat line. Sometimes it can end at the phalanx of the will.

The word "ripu" is translated as "enemy". Accordingly, this line is regarded as hostile. It is believed that it not only neutralizes the positive effect of any line that it crosses, but also leaves a negative imprint on the corresponding areas of a person’s life.

In addition to determining the type of thumb, analyzing lines and dermatoglyphics, Indian palmists interpret various symbols and signs formed by lines and relief patterns of the skin.

For example, fish indicates that a person will achieve a lot in life. Cancer or Scorpio indicate that a person will serve all his life and will not rise above this position.

The number of options is endless, but to discover them, you need to have not only good eyesight, but also a rich imagination. Due to the fact that this takes us away from serious palmistry, I decided not to include descriptions of these symbols in this book.

Over time, I realized that knowing the meanings of the nine lines of the thumb was an extremely useful addition to my knowledge of practical palmistry. They allow you to know something that cannot be known in any other way.

I recommend starting to study them only after you begin to feel confident in interpreting the main lines of the hand. As you analyze your thumb lines, feel free to ask questions and make notes.

This area of ​​palmistry in the West is considered new and little studied, and perhaps you will be able to make valuable and original comments regarding the interpretation of the thumb. But this will require your attention and patience.

It doesn’t happen that everything about a person is perfect from head to toe: someone has beautiful eyes, but too thin lips; someone can boast of slender legs, but only dreams of a flat stomach... But the stars-heroes of our material are not too lucky with the shape of their hands, but they do not have complexes.

Stars with the ugliest hands

Sarah Jessica Parker

Alas, the hands of 50-year-old actress Sarah Jessica Parker give away her age. The star monitors the youth of her facial skin and regularly visits a cosmetologist, but Sarah developed wrinkles on her hands quite early.

Angelina Jolie

Not only are Angelina Jolie’s arms too thin due to her excessive thinness, but they also have very noticeable, protruding veins. Angie herself once admitted that she wanted to have surgery to remove this defect. Maybe you just need to eat more?

Megan Fox

It's no secret that Megan Fox was a keen gamer; the actress could sit at the console for a day! The hobby led to Megan ruining the shape of her thumb: the nail looks beveled, as if the star had a serious injury. However, this is only one version - the funniest one. According to another, the actress simply has a congenital defect.

Anastasia Zavorotnyuk

But for Russian actress Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, even fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev recommended hiding her armpits; this area of ​​the star is not very beautiful, so the stylist still advises choosing dresses with sleeves, and we support him in this! Sometimes it’s better not to emphasize your small shortcomings...

Paris Hilton

Paris Hilton's hands do not correspond to her age at all, as if the star's hands aged 20 years earlier than she did! However, Paris is not worried, but she can decorate her fingers with diamonds.

Madonna

Madonna's hands look as if the singer is constantly doing heavy housework - and always without gloves!

Demi Moore

Like Anastasia Zavorotnyuk, Demi Moore should not flaunt her upper arms and choose outfits that cover her armpits. Sorry, Demi, but otherwise you are perfect!

Kaley Cuoco

Actress Kaley Cuoco was not lucky enough to have short fingers. However, Kaylie is not discouraged, gets a creative manicure and decorates her hands with bracelets and rings. Ugly hands of stars are not a reason for complexes!
