In the realms of Palmistry, the fingers are very important for various reasons. The development of fingers during various phases of growth and evolution of humankind is a study in itself and fingers are of more importance as the index of human species in existence is an indisputable fact. Palmistry has both protagonists and antagonists alike. But, palmists over the past centuries have been saying that the shape of the fingers and the hands give an insight into the heredity, character, disposition or temperament of the individual. So, palmists say “fingers expose your character” - and Hastha-Samudrika-Shastra says “Character is Destiny”. Western philosophy says “World loves talent, but pays for character”. So, both oriental and occidental philosophies emphasize the importance of character in their own ways and that character is revealed by Fingers.

The study of Fingers involves its structure, shape, size, length, nails, skin patterns in the tips of fingers and many more features. Sometimes, fingers can really tell what the whole palm hides with certainty about the hidden character and the hidden diseases of the person and more. Fingers are the most important assets of palmistry Traditionally, fingers are named after the planets representing their nature. We consider each finger separately.

The first finger is the finger of Jupiter or index finger.

The second finger is the finger of Saturn or middle finger.

The third finger is the finger of Apollo/Sun or the ring finger.

The fourth finger is the finger of Mercury or the little finger.

The Finger of Jupiter: This finger represents the conscious “I” - the ego - Seat of egotism and ambitions of the person, here Jupiter or Brihaspathi is known as guru representing pride, dignity, ambition, commanding nature or authoritative gesture of a person. People with long Jupiter finger are intelligent with sense of reality, have enough talent and energy to support their ambitions which leads to realization of their ambitions to a large extent, because they know very clearly their ambitions without the support of required energy and talent is daydreaming.

People with short Jupiter finger (shorter than the Apollo finger) are sensitive and they are very emotional whose feelings dominate their lives than their thoughts. They have a weakness for self-praise and flattery. Any deformity of Jupiter finger is an indication of poor digestion along with breathing problems.

The Finger of Saturn: This finger represents a person’s philosophy of his life, it is the balancing wheel which puts self-centeredness in relation to the world around and in relation to universe. Here Saturn or Shani representing loneliness, maturity of thoughts, deep thinking, looking for insights, in the things around, failed love affairs leading to mild disturbances, interest in decoding the formulas of occult sciences for better understanding.

The person with long Saturn finger has poor and weak legs but is mentally balanced person.

Deformed Saturn finger represents depression, withdrawn from worldly activity or society.

Short Saturn fingers create confusion, inner conflicts, indecisiveness and call themselves unlucky but not others.
