Fingerprint meanings about the character through palmistry
This article will teach you the meanings of the loop, arch, and whorl fingerprints. Fingerprints can help us understand a person’s character because they do not change. Therefore, represent the unchangeable aspects of our personalities. While we can try to modify these traits, we can’t altogether avoid them. Technically, the term for skin ridges is dermatoglyphics.
Fingerprint categories
There are four basic categories of fingerprints: whorls, loops, arches and tented arches. The four types of prints can each have many variations. The variations can slightly alter the meaning. For instance, if a loop sits high on the fingertip, it shows more intellectual ability. A small, lower loop at the tip conveys more down-to-earth, practical qualities. Sometimes these loops form unusual shapes that appear complicated.
Look for the Triradius
Sometimes we find a pattern that doesn’t seem to fit into a category exactly, such as a double loop. The double loop can at first glance look like a composite whorl. When this happens, it is essential to examine the triradius. A triradius is a ‘Y’ shaped pattern of ridges that split into three directions, usually found on one or two sides of the print. If there is only one triradius, it is a loop; with two triradii, it is in the category of a whorl.
How to read the fingerprint
The central part of the fingerprint pattern is where we can analyse its form. If the shape appears high on the tip of the finger, it can indicate someone who is mainly the intellectual type. If the pattern is lower on the fingertip, towards the top crease, it can denote a more practical person. These people would be good with their hands, like manual work.
To get a basic understanding of the fingerprints, combine the attributes of the fingers with the meaning of the print. A whorl ranks the highest form and shows the strongest trait. You can then potentially see where the person’s talent lies if you find a whorl on any of the fingers. A loop on a finger shows flexibility and an easy-going manner.
Combine the meanings of the fingers to the print
- The index finger (Jupiter) relates to our inner self, leadership and influence.
- The middle (Saturn) shows our boundaries, seriousness and responsibilities.
- The ring (Apollo) is where we see our sense of style, charisma and creativity.
- The pinkie (Mercury) depicts the intuitive side, business, communication, sexuality and intimacy.
- The thumb represents drive, willpower and logic.
WHORL FINGERPRINT MEANINGS
Whorls have a centre that appears like a full circle, a coiled spiral or an ‘S’ pattern. The whorl always has two triradii, usually one on each side. Having many whorls indicates someone who is focused, determined, and responsible, preferring to be in charge. They have a desire to help others; they are individual, independent, and highly motivated. A whorl on a single finger indicates talent in that area. (See the finger meanings above).
The whorl, being the most condensed pattern, shows aptitude or growth in an area; for instance, a whorl on the thumb would point to leadership. Someone with at least four whorl fingerprints has exceptional skills or possesses a dedication to a specific cause.
However, because the whorl is circular, it symbolises a less open and adaptable mindset. Therefore, they tend to be secretive and keep their feelings to themselves. They may also come across as selfish because of their need for space and isolation.
The whorl, the peacock whorl and the composite whorl are the most concentrated prints. It represents the character’s strengths, depending on which finger it is on. If no whorls are present, the loop ranks as the next highest. However, the focus is not as high, but it still shows the strongest traits, depending again on which finger the loop is on.
LOOP FINGERPRINT MEANINGS
Loops are the most common patterns and are recognised by their distinct loop formation with a single off-centre triradius on one side. The average loop points towards the thumb side (opening away from the thumb), depicting an open-minded nature.
Occasionally, the loop appears the opposite way, pointing towards the thumb; these are called radial loops. The radial loop slightly changes the connotation: the person is very caring and puts others’ needs before their own. On the left (non-dominant) hand, most likely family; on the right (dominant) hand, the public in general.
If the fingerprints are predominantly loops (especially if on all ten fingers), there is a great deal of flexibility and adaptability in the persona. They are friendly, easy-going and work well in a team environment. They can be committed workers and partners, but they are also ready to change if necessary, given the wide variety of interests they have. While they enjoy diversity and freedom, they may lack individuality or struggle to finish what they commence.
ARCH FINGERPRINT
The arch is the simplest of the print patterns. A person with many arch prints is usually good with their hands. The arch illustrates a reliable, hard-working, practical and reserved type. Positive qualities are usefulness, realism and constancy. Negative qualities are a reluctance to change and a lack of awareness. If only on one or two fingers, it indicates the area with the least development.
Tented Arch fingerprint
A tented arch has a single triradius at its centre, which rises vertically to resemble a tent or tent pole. These usually only occur on the index finger. The individual with a tented arch print is passionate and competitive, with high energy levels, and so has good potential for success due to their enthusiasm. They may find it difficult to relax.
Composite Whorl Fingerprint Meanings
The composite whorl is a type made of two loops going in opposite directions, forming an ‘S’ or Yin-Yang shape, but it is still a whorl. This pattern brings similar qualities to the plain whorl, but with a more open-minded outlook.
Often found on the Jupiter finger or thumb, it depicts someone who views problems from all angles. Many are very adaptable and may have difficulty saying no, or they may agree to things even when they are doubtful, at least until they have had a chance to see all sides of the situation. They are easily distracted and persuaded by others. Making decisions can be difficult for them because they never feel 100% convinced about things. When they do make up their mind, they can quickly change it. If this pattern is on the thumb, I always recommend that the person make up their mind if they’re 60% sure.
Peacock eye whorl fingerprint
A peacock eye is a variation of the whorl that has circles or a spiral inside a loop, but the meaning is nearly the same as the plain whorl, but less intense. For a detailed guide, check out this pdf ebook Fingerprints
