Thumb – The King (Leader) Of Fingers
In fact, thumb is a representative of the full hand, as it is believed that thumb's significance exceeds the significance of all the fingers.
Thumb is the centre of will-power. One can easily determine a person's nature & temperament by studying the thumb, which spells out internal activity of a person, as it has direct connection with human brain. I have described in details, about all the features of thumb in my book “Thumb - The Mirror of Fate". But, here only four types of thumb's classifications are being detailed; as indicated here under –
1. Classification based on the back part of first knuckle of thumb.
2. Conical classification.
3. Classification based on form and shape of the thumb.
4. Classification based on flexibility of the thumb.
Classification based on the back part of first knuckle of thumb
It can be classified and divided into five segments, as per details given here under: 1. Pointed. 2. Conical/conic. 3. Square. 4. Spatulate. 5. Rectangular.
Pointed Thumb
Such type of thumbs is good to look at. Such type of thumbs is wide at the base, round in the middle and become conical as they reach the end.
Such types of nails are generally found in ladies lands. They are soft and tender, beautiful to look at, and represent persons having einotive sentiments. Such natives are idealists, imaginative, gentle and high-class lovers, but they shirk physical labour and activity. They are more inclined to self-contemplation; hence people consider them as selfish but, despite it, they prove as the best friends.
Conical Thumb
This type of thumb is wide at the hand side and round at the top. Such natives have an excellent blend of practicality and imagination. They are fond of good food, dresses, and like all artistic and attractive objects. They are equally capable of mental and physical capability. They also possess self-contemplation and philanthropy. Hence they are social beings.
Square Thumb
Being active and laborious, their creed ties in firm belief in action. They are fully materialise and practical. They do not believe in pseudo pageantry and show off, as they do not have any faith in-lofty ideals and imaginative facets. They are hard working laborious and lead a simple life, and belong to the middle class. They will never blindly follow or pin faith in anything, rather they weigh every situation on their intellectual scale, by means of their logical prowess and intellect, and they themselves decide utility and truth or otherwise of any matter. They have plenty of patience and perseverance, and their chief objective of their life is to earn money, Honesty and frankness are their leading traits.
Spatulate Thumb
This type of thumb is exact total variance of conical thumb that is wide at the top, but squeezed/contracted at the lower portion. The persons, having spatulate thumb, possess hyper mental activity and zeal. Their life is an excellent blend of spiritual and philosophical thinking. They are philosophers who believe in metaphysics. Their imagination is practical and research oriented. They possess a natural trait for inventing something extraordinary. Such natives are seen to be successful religious and spiritual disciplines. If they become active, they can become sports persons of top grade, excellent engineers, scientists and inventors.
Rectangular Thumb
Persons, having such type of thumb are inherent believers in - eating, drinking and be merry, and it is their natural trait, as their life has a materialistic back ground. They possess exceptionally high physical prowess and alacrity. But all their mental and physical labour ends up in acquisition of material comforts, which is their ultimate goal.
Generally such native have neither any desire nor urge for education/ studies - in such a situation their mental development remains scuttled. Resultantly they fall into the company of auto-social elements and thus, become dacoits, murderers, assassinates, criminals and can also fall to the level of fiercest type of animal tendencies. But, if such natives have been brought up and reared in a congenial situation, they can be very active and able workers, high status police officers, military officers and staunchi patriots, provide other positive signs also exist on their palms.
Conical Classification Keeping in view thumb's tendency to stay away from palm of liand, thumbs existing in all the human hands, have been divided particularly into three types, that is - 1. Acute angle. 2. Equal angles (equiangular). 3. Obtuse angle.
The above mentioned are figuratively and forinically can be shown in following shapes, where position of each type of angular thumb has been separately indicated (See the following diagram).
Thumbs which remain glued to the palm, are called 'Acute angle thumbs' and its proximity and expansion remains between 40° to 80°. In the second variety, thumbs are called as “equal angled thumbs', which make an angle of 90° to 95° between the palm and index finger. Under the category those thumbs are reckoned which can expand/extend and twist or bend between 950 and 180°, thus making an obtuse angle between index finger and the thumb. All the said explanations can be easily discerned from the above figure.
Acute Angle Thumbs
This type of thumbs remains adhered to the palm like lump of Earth, and their length is too small. These thumbs can hardly reach upto the lov:er knuckle and first joint (on the lower side) of the index finger. If a person has this type of thumb, he will be a short-stature, small, thick and solid body and they generally belong to the lower middle class. As they are deficient in education they do not have any faith in religion and rituals, and face monetary crunch. They have 110 faith in the existence of religions (Dharma) and also in the existence of God nor do they believe in his reality, bliss, existence and everlasting and truthful traits, rather they will worship dead bodies, spirits, ghosts, mortuaries, and altars departed forefathers etc. they unproductively waste and squander their money in black inagic, totens, magic, spell, charins, witchcraft etc. In short they believe in blend worship and in ancient traditions.
Such type of persons are indolent, lethargic and lewd/amorous. Even in daily dealings they use obscene and unchaste words. They eat prohibited eatables, indulge in unlawful professions, are impractical, and these are the specific traits of such persons. They have often-immoral physical relationships with low-grade women, and it also applies equally in the case of women. If such type of thumbs is found even in the hand of a person, who belongs to a higher caste, he too, will be having all the said bad traits. Such natives are cunning, dishonest and deceits. Generally such persons are born to be slaves and do only labour work. They are so mean and stingy that they will not pay fee even to an astrologer. It may be kept in mind that the said negative will dilute and good qualities will usher in when angle of their thumb extends beyond 40° - that is more expansion of angle and thunb will yield good results and traits in them.
Equal Angle Thumbs
Persons, whose thumbs make an angle from 90° to 95° between the thumb and index finger and stand erect, are handsome, robust, muscular, bony, solid, and are cultured. Such natives are practical, wise, intelligent and educated, and put in more efforts than others. They keep up their promises and stick to their decisions. They have strong revengeful and vindictive tendencies. They will break, but will not yield, submit or compromise. If they make friends with any person, they will even sacrifice their life for them but, if they turn as enemies, they would not hesitate to kill him also.
Such type of natives has dominant “Rajoguna’, which implies they are fast, active, and hard working. In religious and financial matters they represent a blend of traditions and modernity. They are extra haughty, stiff necked and possess self-respect. They are self-willed, free willed and independent, and are easily duped and carried away by others. They are sentimental and in the wake of excitement can do good or lead deed without any hesitation. They are financially and mentally well equipped. They become writers, doctors, lawyers and astrologers of repute and such type of thumbs will be found in their hands.
Obtuse Angle Thumb
As we can easily observe from the figure, such type of thumbs is soft and tender can bend easily and make an obtuse angle. Such persons are tall and highly sentimental. Even in adverse conditions they attain education. They have natural and inherent interest in arts, music, science, medicine, spiritual knowledge and mantras. They have soft and sweet tongue and are well cultured and civilized. In order to find out ultimate truth of life and to examine its viability, they can embrace all the religions. They often continue to change their thing and succeed in life, despite plenty of obstacles. As they are firmly tied to their principles and philosophy, they have a set out goal for their life.
Such natives are “Satoguni”, that is they possess lrigh and noble qualities, but are spending thrift. They are philanthropist, donors, courageous and ascetics. Their noble virtues and decent inclinations can be determined if their thumbs make an angle between 120° and 180°. Here, it may be kept in mind, that length of the thumb should measure upto mid-portion of the last knuckle of the Index finger. Natives, whose thumbs make an obtuse angle, lave lengthier thumbs. If length of the thumb extends to the forepart of the Index finger, such a native is imprudent and idiot, and such a native's excessive good virtues and qualities get converted into defects. Such natives are great men par excellence and can be easily distinguished from other persons.
Classification Based On Shape And Forms Of Thumbs
This type of thumbs is based on a native's shape and mode of thumbs, existent at the time of birth. Foregoing classification was based on the effect of shape on the outer appearance of the thumb, but the present classification is leased on the shape, form and type of thumb, existing at the time of birth. In this context there are ten principle types of thunibs, which can be determined and distinguished from the following diagram.
