Chirology meaning in hand analysis

Chirology meaning in hand analysis is palmistry. It is more than simply looking at the lines on the hands. The art of analysing hands is about seeing the character and discovering your potential and purpose in life. The Study of the hand, Chiromancy is one of the oldest of the ancient forms of divination, which has long been known as palmistry. This study helps us to learn about ourselves and our goals in life. In modern times, a new approach to hand reading has evolved which we call (Chirology). Chirology meaning in hand analysis uses not only the study of the hand shape and fingers but also of the lines, markings, skin texture, palm ridges, and fingerprints.

These days, modern palmistry or chirology steers away from the predictive side of reading hands due to some individuals’ reputations as being fortune-tellers, hence giving the practice a bad name.

However, I do not see palmistry as fortune-telling. People still want to know their future from their hands, but the problem is that the hands show what is going on right now. Realistically the lines cannot predict the future. People make their own decisions in life. What they can tell you is that whatever you have done up until now, can show as a kind of consequence of what may come.

Short Pinkie and Short Finger Meanings

Short Pinkie and the Meaning of a Short Finger in Palmistry

Do you have a short pinkie? Sometimes it’s challenging to decipher whether a finger is longer or shorter than usual. A small finger can be thin or short, sometimes both. A short pinkie is when it does not reach the top crease of the ring finger. Be aware though, that the pinkie might be low set, in which case you might have to measure it.

If you are interested in palmistry, you might think that it’s all about the lines on the palm. Modern hand readers know that the most crucial part of a good palm reading is knowing about the character of the person. Without this information, the reading can be deficient and unsuitable for the subject. The shape of the hand and the length of the fingers are the most noticeable first impressions. You can tell just by a quick glance if someone has something unusual like short fingers.

The best way to begin is by first deciding if all the fingers are of average length.

How to tell if the fingers are of average length? Firstly, look at the back of the hand. Notice whether the palm is long and rectangular or square. If the fingers appear similar length overall, then they are average. Typical length fingers should have the middle finger the longest and the ring and index almost the same.

short pinkie

When a finger is of average length, it characteristically shows a balanced individual who would possess a normal level of confidence, ambition, ego and responsibility. Note that most males have a ring finger slightly longer than the index.

I have found that the middle finger is the best guide to begin judging the index and ring fingers, and they should reach a little over halfway along the top phalange of the middle finger. Once you have established if the fingers are long or short, then you can decide whether the pinkie is shorter than usual.

But before jumping to conclusions about the associations of a small finger, another feature to look for is the thickness because often, a short finger will be compensated for by being thicker than average. If this is the case, then the person is likely to make up for any deficiency. I have seen this especially when the Index finger is short (which would typically indicate some lack of confidence). But if it is also thick, then the trust issues are of the past. A mount underneath the finger can also help offset the shortness or thinness of a finger by its prominence or markings such as vertical lines.

Short Pinkie Meanings

A shorter or thinner than the typical finger can depict under development in the qualities that are represented by it. A large and long thumb offsets the meaning and balances out any negative aspect. Some examples:

The Short Pinkie – communication difficulties or shyness. They can quickly become tongue-tied and so may struggle with speaking in front of an audience. Some can lack a sex drive or display immaturity emotionally. The short pinkie, in general, depicts a gentle person who tends to be quiet and prefers calm environments.

Physically, they may look young for their age, or some other aspect of their build is underdeveloped. If only the middle phalange is short, it is a sign of shyness. The shyness does not affect their ego, however, and they often have a high opinion of themselves.

If it is exceptionally short, it can suggest early mental handicap or slow learning ability. The extremely short Mercury finger also denotes a severe lack of confidence in their capacity to express themselves regarding sexual matters. For this reason, in relationships, they need a caring and understanding partner.

Individual short finger meanings

The ring finger – A short ring finger can show untapped creativity. An antisocial or introverted nature. It also suggests that the person puts more focus on their outer worlds, such as their ambitions and practical matters. They are reliable and self-motivated folk who rarely act irresponsibly. Their success comes from drive and ambition, rather than pure talent, but they may be shy in front of an audience, especially if the pinkie is also short.

The middle finger – A short middle finger shows a lack of seriousness or responsibility. This belongs to a risk-taker; there is boundless energy for life and always something to do, but they can quickly become disorganised within their home or work. They usually approach life focusing on the now, and not so much the future. In a career, they need excitement because it is problematic for them to concentrate on tedious activities. As far as boundaries, they may not always follow the rules or care about the law; especially if all the fingers have wide gaps at the base. Even more so if with a Simian line.

Short index finger

The development of the index finger can vary. If it is severely short, it reveals a history of peer group rejection. A slightly short index classifies as a deficient father syndrome. The personality can be affected either way and generally, the short index finger shows a small ego. The person with this little index can lack leadership, unless with a large thumb. You can tell if it’s short when it does not reach halfway along the top phalange of the middle finger.

Sometimes a low-set index can appear short, but the meaning is very similar because of the under-developed region. These people can be very caring about others needs but might struggle with looking after their own or finding their purpose in life. It may come from a lack of confidence in their ability or just an absence of direction in the early years. They can be easily persuaded due to their kindness or failure to make their decisions.

Short thumb

A small or short thumb is classed as such if it fails to reach halfway up the base phalange of the index finger. The little thumb denotes some weakness of character with a passive nature; a daydreamer rather than a doer. However, they are mostly ruled by their heart and so are not the least bit arrogant or aggressive. The natural qualities of drive, determination, and action that come with a regular length thumb are undersupplied. Instead, it shows someone timid, quiet, submissive and at times, lethargic. Easily influenced by others, they prefer that someone else guide them as to what to do. Alternatively, somebody else doing it for them; habitually they are used to being dependent on others.

Reading Palms and How It Can Help You

Reading Palms (Your own palm) and how it can help you.

Palmistry undertaken as an art, to interpret the character, should be done so with an open mind and variable analysis. It is the art of analysing hands. It has been practised for centuries to examine your character, personality, motivations, desires, and how you see the world and live your life. Reading palms can guide you to a deeper understanding of yourself and your potential future.

If you are interested in reading palms for personal reasons or if you are a professional coach, a therapist, counsellor, or healer, hand analysis allows you to add additional means to your range of work. You can give your clients more insight and clarity for finding their way and attaining their maximum capacity to achieve their goals.

When reading palms, It is possible to see if a person is open-minded and easygoing.

if they have the drive, and leadership qualities required for their job; can they be trusted? My personal approach to palm readings uses the knowledge-based information gathered through the hand features as well as the lines on the palms.

It is important to remember that one sign alone cannot confirm an event or outcome. In fact, in most cases, not even several indicators confirm a future issue. The combination of elaborate explanations for the many markings on the palms depends on an individual’s life. For example, stress lines on a business person are not the same meaning as those found in an artist. Hence, we need to see other features on the hand to determine personality type and how they might handle stress in their situations.

Through a peek at someone’s hands, you can get a general idea about their constitution. For instance, if their hands are soft, refined or dainty, the same applies to their character. With these qualities, they prefer the use of their intellect or creativity before physical work. On the other hand, rough, coarse and rugged hands might lack sensitivity, but they show strength. A person who is happiest working with their hands.

Reading palms and fingers

The fingers are a tremendous part of reading palms. They can show how we express ourselves and how we have developed in the past. We all have distinctive looks and the same goes for our psychological makeup. Because we are unique, reading hands can become very involved and complicated. It is this personal disposition that reflects in our hands from birth.

People inherit many physical features and character traits from their parents, but we are all unique. The basic shape of the hand is especially an important part of reading the palms because it helps us determine the first and most fundamental character of the person.

The character from the shape of the hand.

One of the simplest ways to do this is by using the old astrological elements of fire, water, earth and air to compare four typical hand shapes. (You can read more about the astrological elements here.) It is likely however that your hand does not match one of these, but using your judgment, you should be able to come up with one that is close or a mix of another.

In some cases, the person’s hand shape corresponds to their real sun sign element. It obviously helps to know a little about the astrological elements. Once you have determined some character traits from the four categories, the lines can help to suggest possible outcomes and help support other findings.

What you can get from reading palms:

  • Discover how a mere handshake can tell you just whom you are dealing with in your life!
  • Learn how the hand as a whole depicts intuitiveness, sensitivity, practicality or thinking types.
  • The eleven areas of the palm illustrate what you focus on (love, work, dreams, instincts, nature, music etc).
  • Find out how easy it is to see negative traits from the setting of the fingers.
  • The particular length of the fingers depicts the most important character traits that they cannot hide!
  • Recognise a charmer who just might be a compulsive liar!
  • Know when you have come across a stubborn and controlling bully.
  • Is your potential lover going to match your libido?
  • Poor health warnings at a quick glimpse of the fingernails.
  • Career options that suit your hand shape.

Hand Analysis is Complete Palmistry

PALMISTRY IS HAND ANALYSIS

The use of the term hand analysis is often preferred over the word palmistry to try to steer away from the reputation of fortune tellers (which, by the way, still exists in most eastern worlds). I use the word palmistry because it is an art that completely studies the hands and palm lines.

Today I would like to talk a little about how palm readers, over the years, have struggled to get respect from the population in general. I was particularly concerned when I realised that many people making it even more challenging are other so-called ‘new age’ hand-reading experts.

There is also a new wave of hand analysts mocking the word “palmistry” as something that should no longer exist and is just fortune-telling. However, palmistry is hand analysis because it is the art of studying the hand and all its features, such as the lines. 

I am going to make this point by taking some excerpts from timeworn palmistry books that explicitly use the art for hand analysis, not fortune telling, whether it concerns the quality of the lines on the palms or the shape of the hand and fingers.

Many old books describe how to tell character from the hands and how to use that information to better your life.

Here is one from the original (pre-1960s) “Complete Guide to Palmistry – The Standard Work”:

The human hand has been described as the creator’s masterpiece of a mechanism. It’s a wonderful adaptation to the requirements of life. Few realise that the hand is a direct servant of the brain. Its markings reveal the workings of the brain and the general characteristics and physical ailments. It cannot be denied that there is much opposition to the practice of Palmistry based on ignorance and bigotry.

In this examination, it is necessary to note both hands. The first point to be noted is the texture and consistency of the skin; this will be best ascertained by feeling the back of the hand and noting its softness or otherwise.


The appearance of the hand as a whole will show whether it is evenly balanced or is heavier or lighter in some parts than in others.

Below is another excerpt about hand analysis from the famous “Cheiro”.

He uses the term palmistry in studying the character from the hands.

“Palmistry for all” by Cheiro – PUBLISHED IN 1916

There is no country in the world where the “study of character” is more indulged in than In the USA. During my many visits there, I could not help remarking how even the “hardest headed” businessmen used any form of this study they could get hold of to help them in their business dealings with other men and endeavouring to ascertain the character of their clerks and employees.

In looking over the records of my career, I find that in the course of my visits to America. I gave private lessons to the heads of two hundred and seventy business establishments in New York. One hundred thirty-five in Boston, and three hundred and forty-two in Chicago.

Study of the character

All these men were large employers of labour. What they principally wanted was to have some help beyond that of their judgment. In dealing with those, they came in contact within the regular course of their business careers. In no other country did I find the same interest in studying character from a practical standpoint.

This is why I am writing a special Preface for this Edition. Believing as I do, my American readers will appreciate the added information. I may be able to give regarding the obtaining by glancing at a hand. A quick grasp of the leading characteristics of the persons they are thrown into contact with. Or, for whatever reason, they choose to use this study.

cheiro book

He explains all aspects of the hand and how they relate to the character:

Venus = Love, sensuality, and passion.

Mars = Vitality, courage, fighting, etc.

Mercury = Mentality, commerce, science.

Moon = Imagination, romance, changeability.

Sun = Brilliance, fruitfulness, success.

Jupiter = Ambition, power, domination.

Saturn = Reserve, melancholy, seriousness.

Missing Lines on the Palm Meaning

by
missing lines, palmistry lines

MISSING MAJOR AND MINOR LINES ON THE PALM

Most palms have the major lines: a heart line, a head line and a lifeline. (See photo below). I have chosen only these three to be classified as major lines. However, some hand readers also like to refer to Saturn (vertical line to the middle finger) and Apollo lines (vertical line to the ring finger) as major ones. For most practising palmists, missing lines on the palm might confuse them. Not every hand has these major lines exactly. For example, you might have the Simian line, where there is only one horizontal line across the hand instead of two.

Often, when the Simian line is present, other lines, such as minor ones, tend not to show. If your life line is missing on the palm, it shows that your energy runs differently. Maybe you have a Simian line, or one of your other lines is prominent.

palm lines, palmistry lines

Changing lines.

The minor lines subtly change over time; therefore, what is evident in your hands now does not imply a fixed quality or situation. If you are missing lines on the palm, they may just be going through change. The major lines can also change in appearance. Marks and breaks can appear, and sometimes the marks or breaks ‘get healed’.

When using the lines for prediction, the information gathered is from the past events that have led the person to be where they are now. Any lines or markings that represent the future are just an assumption, whether negative or positive. The reason is that our thoughts and desires change, new lines can form, and old ones can fade.

Minor lines.

On some hands, the minor lines are not present, and it depends on the skin’s texture. Tough skin rarely gets any fine lines on it. The lines that are most likely to change quickly are the minor lines. They can even disappear altogether, so don’t worry if you don’t have every line ‘as per the book’.

If you are reading palms to try to tell the future, remember that anyone can control their destiny. These lines can and do change. Palmistry can be used to determine some consequences or guidance for our future. Accordingly, if a line shows a particular attribute, it is important to look for other indications for confirmation, as one feature can offset another.

For example, a line that shows success for a person may indicate this as a likely conclusion. However, if other signs are against it, such as a lack of willpower, attaining that success may be difficult (but not impossible). However, finding adverse signs should not be seen as negative but instead as an incentive for making positive changes for better future outcomes.

Missing lines on the palm, including Saturn or Fate line).

The Saturn line (fate line), which travels from the base of the palm towards the middle finger, is not usually present in young children and not even in some adults. Unestablished career goals often lead to a missing fate line. However, what if you are an adult with a job? This line, in general, indicates the success of a career, whether they are settled or varying and changeable. It is not often absent in adults, but it does not mean anything negative when this happens.

During my career, I have met some businesspeople whose hands the line was absent. They all were happy to say that they were ‘self-made’ men and that no fate would decide the course of their careers.

Something to think about: Imagine the line as a path; if it is in front of you, you will probably walk on it. But if you are in a place with no path, you can still move towards where you want to go; you have to make your own path.

Saturn lines (Fate lines)

Missing Apollo Line (success line, sun line)

The Apollo line is one of the more common missing lines on the palm. When the Apollo line is missing, it shows dissatisfaction with life or career choices. Success is still possible. However, the person might not be happy with what they have achieved. So, if your Apollo line is missing, look at what you are doing and if it aligns with your passion. The success line can form in your palm when you begin to act on your dreams. Some people believe that the success line forms when a person is happy to be by themself, engrossed in their work, for example.

MISSING HEART LINE

The missing heart line suggests a logical and emotionally detached nature. In all matters, these people are objective, rational and almost ‘mechanical’ regarding their emotions. Relationships might be difficult to sustain unless they can tap into those feelings without overthinking them. On the dominant hand, with strong Jupiter and thumb, they can be aggressive, judgemental and bad-tempered. A good heart line on the non-dominant hand helps offset some cold characteristics.

MISSING HEAD LINE

Some rare hands have no head line, yet a normal heart line exists. This feature suggests that decisions are based on emotional rather than logical views. The missing head line depicts a passionate character with strong opinions. However, they might too easily jump to conclusions because they lack rational thought.

Summary: Creating your journey in life.

So, when you think about it, the missing lines are just an indicator of a free spirit; they do what they want and create their path without restrictions. There is clear support for scientific research that the hands are connected to the activity of the brain, reflecting the character and well-being of the person. Therefore, the fewer lines there are, the fewer things affect the individual emotionally or mentally through thoughts and actions.
