Each finger has its own mission, expression, and personality. Thus, when you gaze steadily at your fingers, an unconscious sense of affection naturally arises. On each finger, two joints protrude outward—some are more prominent, others smoother.

Those with prominent joints are inclined to deep thinking, cautiousness in action, avoiding direct confrontation with others, yet capable of bold, surprising behaviors when the opportunity arises.

A high first joint indicates orderly, organized behavior, decisive action without delay. A high second joint suggests attention to minute details and a tendency toward cleanliness or even obsessive-compulsive traits.

Individuals with both first and second joints noticeably thickened are typically cautious, quick-witted, and possess strong adaptability. Those with smooth, unobtrusive joints tend to be intelligent, highly perceptive, and swift in decision-making—but often struggle to achieve complete or satisfying outcomes.

Thumb: Reflects the strength of one’s willpower and judgment. A large, thick thumb signifies noble character, good health, longevity, and frequent leadership roles. Someone who constantly fiddles with their thumb while talking to others shows strong vigilance, difficulty being deceived or taken advantage of. Therefore, if such a person uses their thumb while apologizing, it suggests insincerity. An infant who still holds the thumb inside the other four fingers days after birth indicates extremely weak constitution.

Index Finger: Indicates the level of ambition, desire for recognition, and emotional sensitivity. A long and thick index finger reflects strong self-confidence, ambitious drive, and political acumen, making such individuals natural leaders with strong potential for career success.

Middle Finger: The longest of the five fingers, also reflecting the strength of one’s thought processes. A middle finger that is unusually thick and long suggests careful, thoughtful behavior, aversion to socializing, and a preference for quiet, solitary contemplation. For women, if a downward line appears from the second joint as shown in the diagram, it may indicate infertility.

Ring Finger: Reveals artistic temperament and material desires. A long ring finger indicates a strong inclination toward luck-seeking and gambling. Particularly when thick and long, it denotes artistic talent, favorable circumstances, and a life of comfort and abundance.

Pinky: Reflects social skills and interpersonal ability. A thick and long pinky signifies exceptional intelligence, eloquence, and strong social finesse.

The ideal length of the pinky should reach the first joint of the ring finger. If a woman’s pinky is notably short, it suggests a small uterus and a lack of fertility throughout life.
