The Saturn Finger

The middle finger of hand is called the finger of Saturn, according to the science of palmistry. The finger of Saturn is connected with the sense of discipline and responsibility in a person. This finger is called `Madhyama` in Hindi. Mount of Saturn is situated at its base. The mount on the finger of Saturn is considered as one of the significant part of the science of palmistry. The shape and size of the finger denotes the difference between the respective individuals regarding the sense of responsibility and discipline. 

This should be the longest finger on the hand. If it’s too long, in relation to the other fingers, the person will find it hard to fit in with others and will prefer being on their own. He or she will be aloof and unsociable. If this finger is short, the person will be careless and lack a sense of responsibility. Most people have Saturn fingers that are neither long nor short.

Ordinarily the finger of Saturn or the middle finger is longer than the finger of Apollo and the index finger but this length should not be more than 1/4 of an inch. But if it is more than 1/4 inch longer then such person`s whole life is found to be full of troubles, difficulties and his wants remain unfulfilled. Even of his earnest efforts none of his wants will be completely satisfied. On the contrary, if the finger is found to be longer only by just 1/4 of an inch, the person is wise. Persons having the middle s finger like s this generally take part in auspicious works and always make progress. Such a person gets respect and fame in the society. Sometimes the finger of Saturn is found to be longer by 1/2 an inch or more from the index finger. It can safely be concluded according the science of palmistry that the person will be a murdered in future.  

As with the other fingers, the three phalanges should all be equal in size. If the tip phalange is the longest, the person will be intellectual and interested in spirituality. This person will be proud of his or her intellect and may consider him- or herself superior. He or she will also be cautious and prudent. If this tip is extremely long, the person will have a negative approach to everything and be a sad, melancholy individual.

If the middle phalange is the longest, the person will be a good organizer and enjoy performing work that is highly involved or detailed. If the finger is smooth, a long second phalange gives a strong interest in the occult. If the middle phalange is very short compared to the others, the person will waste a lot of time and not enjoy learning. He or she will be an ignoramus.

A long base phalange gives an interest in agriculture. You will find this on farmers, keen gardeners and people who love working on the land.

The Jupiter Finger or Index Finger

The first finger is named after the planet Jupiter, which in turn is named after the king of the gods. It denotes drive, ambition, leadership qualities and the ego. It also called Index finger.

• A long Jupiter finger shows self confidence and awareness. The owner is sure of their ability.
• People with this finger are keen on advancement. They like to be in charge and have their own way.
• They are capable and do well being in charge of a crisis situation.
• For people with a short Jupiter finger the reverse holds true. They are usually shy; afraid they will fail and inclined to have self doubt.
• People with a curved Jupiter finger are collectors and often have many hobbies.

We naturally use the Jupiter finger to express our personal power. When we are really mad at someone we point at them and may even put that finger right in their face or poke on them! When this personal power is habitually strong and direct the index finger actually grows longer, stronger, and straighter! If you want to see if your boss is really in the right job, check out her or his index finger. It ought to be strong, long and straight -- if not a workplace mutiny could be in order!

Length

The Jupiter finger should reach between half and two-thirds of the way up the tip phalange of the second finger. Ideally, it should be about the same length as the Apollo finger. If it is longer, it gives the person drive and ambition. People with a long Jupiter finger are determined to get what they want and keep on working at it until they succeed. The only disadvantage of this is these people often do not know when to stop. In extreme cases, these people can drive themselves to an early grave. If the Jupiter finger is very long compared to the Apollo finger, it can indicate egotism.

         If the Jupiter finger is the same length as the Apollo finger it means the person is moderately ambitious and will work hard for what he or she wants, but also knows when to stop and relax. This person will be realistic in assessing his or her abilities. It’s not always easy to determine the relative lengths of the fingers from the palm side of the hand. As mentioned earlier, it is often better to assess the relative lengths of the Jupiter and Apollo fingers by turning the hand over and comparing them from the back of the hand. When the Jupiter finger is shorter than the Apollo, it is an indication of lack of confidence early on in life. If this finger is very short, it indicates someone who is timid, quiet and scared of life.

The Fingers

After looking at the thumb, move on to the fingers. The fingers should be straight. If they curve, they are gaining support from the other fingers.

The fingers are divided into three sections, known as phalanges. Ideally, each phalange should be about the same length as the other phalanges on the same finger. If one phalange is longer than the other two, the person is using the energies of that phalange at the expense of the others. If a phalange is very short, the energy is dormant and not being utilized. In palmistry, we aim for balance.

The tip phalange relates to intuition and spirituality. If all the tip phalanges are long, it shows the person will be thoughtful full of life. The middle phalanges relate to intellect. If these phalanges are all long, the person will be good in business matters.

The base phalange relates to the material aspects of life. If this phalange is long, thick and puffy, the person will be self-indulgent and greedy. Make sure you do not mistake thick and puffy phalanges for padded, slightly spongy ones.

Padded, slightly spongy phalanges indicate the person likes good food and is usually an excellent cook. Even if this person doesn’t like cooking, he or she will be above average at it and will always appreciate a well prepared, tasty meal.
