The Bent Middle Finger – Opinions and Viewpoints.

Seen recently on social media: One hand reader o ers that a bent
middle nger (along with a bent index nger) shows “deprivation of
male guardian or father”, with “good luck only starting after they
become parents.” Another then asserts that what a bent middle
nger actually means is that the owner has “astigmatism” [eye
rd
problems] and is “very self-critical.”  A 3 hand analyst intervenes.
“Without research it’s hard to tell where the border is found between credible
observations and superstitious folklore”.

There are many possible meanings that are ascribed to bent middle ngers. In classical
palmistry, this signals the scribe whose writings will be published. Owners of this
feature often need to be alone – a lot. They may be depressive, and su er digestive
disorders. Earth (Saturn/cultural identity) ngers represent our formative in uences, so
we often hear a story of double standards in childhood, and of parental abuse,
resulting in lifelong insecurity. Potentially, all these, along with the various other
interpretations for bent middle ngers, are accurate and applicable.

It’s in the mysterious folds between “credible observations and superstitious folklore”
that the true essence and power of the hand reading craft of hand resides. Chirology
has three equally important components. One third comprises the interpretative
system, the second is that readers meet a standard of counselling and coaching criteria,
and the third component is our (vitally relevant) intuition.

Yes, of course we readers cross-reference the hands’ features, and listen attentively to
the person. But it’s through the opening of our intuitive perceptions that we ‘know’
which of the associated meanings will optimally support our dialogue. The practice is to
get our analytical, so called ‘left brain’ minds out of the way and to feel, not think. After
all, intuitive knowing is more senior than belief.

Hands re ect temperament, character, personality, and physical, emotional, vocational,

mental and spiritual orientations. While holding hands, readers access the person’s
often vulnerable realms of human experience. Authentic enquiry is in nitely more
supportive than “accuracy.” Hand readers with xed viewpoints on meanings are not
only missing the essence of the hand reading craft, but may also be contributing
towards disappointing, discouraging and disillusioning other aspiring readers.
