Staat je middelvinger scheef?
There is a well-known saying in hand reading: “fingers are best worn straight”. Bent fingers show disturbance of expression of that finger’s associated element. Earth (Saturn/cultural identity) fingers represent our grounding, our formative influences. When bent to the ulnar side, something in the past destabilized the person. There are many fascinatingly accurate ‘meanings’ that can apply to this hand feature, but often we hear a story of double standards in childhood, of parental lies and deceit. The very soil that ought to root and secure the person is fissured, not firm. Earth fingers that bend over fire fingers also inhibit happiness. Fire fingers represent self-expression, creativity and joy, but with an earth finger casting its’ shadow, happiness is made guilty by duty. Fun, freedom and playtime are stalked by anxiety and the inner critic. There is a voice asking “am I allowed to?” Owners of this feature like to be alone a lot. In classical palmistry, it is believed that this is the marker of a scribe whose writings will be published. Very rarely, earth fingers might curve radially towards water (index) fingers, suggesting more need in the person for the company of others.
