Thumb Reading to see Willpower and Drive

Thumb Reading to Analyse the Character for willpower and drive

The thumb has a great significance in palmistry; you can glance at a person’s hand and quickly get a general idea of their energy, drive, and basic temperament. So, thumb reading is a crucial part of character awareness, particularly in situations where one is meeting someone for the first time. In most business or personal situations, people shake hands to introduce themselves, so, what a perfect opportunity to glance at the thumb!

As with most features, finding balance in proportion to itself and how it appears to look on the hand is ideal. Nothing too crude and nothing too small. In general, a small thumb belongs to the day-dreamer; one set at the base of the hand belongs to the hands of a worker; an extended thumb indicates the strength of character and intelligence. The thumb is an excellent aspect in which to attain clues confirming other characteristics found on the hands.

When doing a thumb reading, (1) the first phalange (tip of the thumb) is compared with (2) the second phalange. They should be relatively equal in length and thickness.

thumb reading, small thumb, large thumb, palmistry thumb

The tip of the thumb is the amount of willpower, energy and self-control. The second phalange is about logic, thoughtfulness and organising skills.

If either of the phalanges appear to be shorter or thinner, then it suggests weakened qualities of that aspect of the character. Therefore, a small tip shows the willpower needs work. A small or thin second phalange suggests that logic needs improvement.

The Angle of the Thumb

The angle of the thumb measures from the space between the inside of the thumb and the edge of the palm. When the thumb angle is average, it is approximately between 45 and a 70-degree angle to the palm. A low set thumb usually has a wide angle, and a high set thumb has a narrow one.

When the angle of the thumb is narrow, 30 degrees or less and close to the palm rather than opening away from it, it suggests someone much quieter, untrusting or guarded. When the thumb opens to a wide-angle, it is mostly found on the low set one and suggests a more open and giving nature.

Thumb Setting

AVERAGE SETTING

A typical location of the thumb is when the inside of the thumb is halfway down the hand, indicating a reasonable amount of generosity, ego, intellect and wariness. These people are practical and giving, being neither a miser nor a pushover.

VERY HIGH SET THUMB

An unusually high-set thumb is when the inside of the thumb is greater than halfway up the palm (rare). It shows a lack of character and intellect, although they can be quite shrewd, and so not very trustworthy. They are less adaptable than those with a medium or low set thumb. The thumb in this position usually has a narrow-angle and so depicts a very cautious, secretive nature. As they are typically very selfish, for them to be in a generous mood, they must have a valid reason or worthy cause.

LOW-SET THUMB

A low-set thumb is when the inside of the thumb is below halfway on the hand, closer to the wrist. It portrays a sensible and open-minded person with a down to earth outlook on life. They may not always be very imaginative, but they are certainly self-confident, determined, independent and very adaptable. They are generous with a love of adventure and often have many interests. The low-set thumb is usually long, depicting appropriate will and reasoning powers. If the thumb is set very low, it can imply weakness of self-control, or a lack of concern regarding intellectual matters, belonging to the extroverts, adventurers, and manual workers.

THUMB READING SUMMARY

The large thumb shows strength, force, realism, and determination; they use their head but may lack sentimentality. The small thumb (if also thin) with its weakness has insufficient force, and the heart guides them; their life is ruled by sentiment. A mentor is a great help for those with a small thumb.

Travel Lines Abroad on Your Palm

Travel lines (Trips, journeys and abroad)

If you are interested in the lines on the palm, you might be curious to know whether it’s possible to see signs of travel? If you think about it, travel is the change or movement from one place to another. The signs of travel can also be signs of restlessness and wanting to get away. These indications can be psychological and instead represent wanting to remove oneself from a situation.

Travel lines can be in various areas of the hand. The obvious thing to look for is a change in the normal flow of the line. The main lines to see these changes are in the life and fate lines. If someone travels abroad as a permanent relocation, the change will be evident in both of these. If the line ‘shifts’ or changes course, it suggests a change of course in life. The line might also show as a broken line.

Travel lines can be branches, like offshoots from the life line and transverse lines on the ulnar edge. In other words, they are horizontal lines on the edge of the palm on the pinkie side. These do not always denote a permanent move aboard, especially if there are several lines present. Note that the uppermost lines are marriage lines and the start of the heart line.

travel lines on the palm, move abroad signs

Lines that can point to travel

Lines branching or emanating from the line of life towards the Mount of Moon are signs of trips, but not a guaranteed symbol of permanent relocation. They can also depict a restless person or would love to travel, even if they haven’t. Many offshoots from the life line often depict a person who travels often. A short life line is also a mark of someone restless. These people are not happy to stay in one place forever.

Permanent relocation signs

For a mark of a permanent move abroad, usually, there will be a broken life line, and a connecting line to the fate line or a new section of life line (if the change is lasting). The long-distance travel line is a longer line than the short distance.

permanent relocation

Look also at the shape of the hand, fingers, and mounts for a desire for travel. If a person is a committed traveller through work or pleasure, they will typically have an air or fire type hand due to the adventurous and social nature. The line of life on a venturesome character arch towards the Mount of Moon (mount opposite the thumb), instead of curving around the Venus mount (ball of thumb). (See example here).

The image below is that of a man who permanently relocated abroad at the age of thirty. His life line is very faint, so I have highlighted the break. Note that the life line connects to the fate line around his age fifty. During that time, he had other significant changes in his life.

travel abroad

If there are many fine travel lines from the life line, they will suggest regular journeys. Even a person who regularly goes offshore fishing (for example) might have these lines. Be careful though, if the end of the life line has many fine lines branching out, (like tassels) it might mean something else. (Healthwise) it might be a sign of too much acidity in the body, stomach issues, diabetes or arthritis etc. If you are concerned about your health, please seek medical advice.

tasseled lines at the end of the life line
These tassels at the bottom of a life line are not usually representing travel lines; instead, they relate to health.

The fingers can also show if a person is likely to travel

The finger shapes also come into consideration especially if one has spatulate fingertips, signifying the love of the new and unusual. With square fingertips, the destinations may be somewhere that is more well-known to them. A long pinkie (Mercury finger) would give excellent communication skills so learning another language would not be a problem. The long pinkie is also a sign of someone who doesn’t mind being away from home.

I made a quick video about the travel lines, learn about the ‘areas or countries’ of travel from each line. Also about the timing of the travel, like what age the trip is likely to be. check it out here.

Influence Lines and Support Lines in Palmistry

Influence lines and Support lines

If you are interested in palmistry (hand analysis), you might wonder what some finer, smaller lines on the palm are. Some people only have a few major lines, like the life, head and heart lines. In this article, you will learn about the finer influence lines. Influence lines are fine secondary lines on the palm. The meaning can vary depending on where it is.

The Main (major) Lines

Influence line along the life line

Like a sister line, the most common influence line is alongside the life line. If the line begins at the mount of Mars, it is a Mars line. The influence line along the life line can occur at any point. For instance, if it represents a union/partnership/marriage, we can use the timeline from the life line to guess the timing.

Where else can you find influence lines?

The influence lines can arise from anywhere on the palm. They can also represent a supportive partner if along the life line or if it rises to the fate line. It is more appropriate to be called an inspiration line when it originates from the head or heart lines to touch either the fate or success lines. It is an inspiration line because the person has had an idea, thought, or feeling that inspired action.

Rising from the heart line

These influence lines are most common, rising from the heart line to the success line, showing a heartfelt decision regarding a career, hobby, or business enterprise. They are also referred to as ‘inspiration lines’. However, the name of any line doesn’t matter; the point is that energy is coming from somewhere else and giving it to another area somehow.

influence lines, palm lines, support lines

Lines on the Mount of Venus

The vertical lines on the Mount of Venus show mainly family influences, whether from the mother, father, or siblings. They can also represent anyone who has impacted or made a strong impression. William Benham describes someone with many influence lines on the Mount of Venus as having a healthy sexual appetite. From my study, many see themselves as spiritually aware.

Influence lines on the fate line

Influence lines on the fate line are somewhat different. They can be rising lines that touch the fate line or parallel lines alongside it. But an influence or support line is only an influence or support line if it is close to the fate line. A line that is parallel but not close to the fate line is a secondary fate line. Many people have more than one fate line.

influence lines, support line palms, marriage line, fate line branches

The influence lines on the fate line can depict a variety of things, such as:

  1. A marriage or union
  2. A business partner
  3. The supportive friend or partner
  4. An epiphany or emotional decision
  5. A period of study to support career

An idea might be what caused the influence, usually regarding career or other important life decisions. If so, the line will rise to the fate line somewhere around the head line or directly from the head line. Remember, these lines are much finer than the main lines.

Some are not influence lines but instead Travel lines.

If a branch line emanates from the line of life towards the Mount of Moon, it signifies trips or travel. However, they are not necessarily a symbol of permanent relocation. Usually, there will be a connecting line to the fate line or a new section of life line if the change is lasting. The long-distance travel line is longer than the short distance.

Type of Heart Line on the Palm, Which Do You Have?

forked heart line

Which is Your Type of Heart Line?

The type of heart line that you have on your palm can help you understand the personality’s emotional aspect. The heart line is the uppermost horizontal line on the palm; it represents how people express their feelings and attitudes towards relationships. The basics of reading this line are the same as the head and life lines by looking at its length, depth, and quality. Below I have chosen a type of heart line for four various shapes. Choose one that matches closest to your type of heart line.

If you have one of the types of heart line below, click on the image that matches the closest to learn what it means for you.

Curved type of heart line.

curved heart line

The curved heart line shows a passionate nature. These people know what they want and they don’t hesitate to go after it. If it is the most prominent line on the hand, they are ruled by their heart. See here for more.

Straight type of heart line

straight crease on palm

A straight heart line that does not reach into the padded area beneath the index finger is a short line. These people tend to suppress their feelings or they simply love their freedom. See here for more.

Forked heart line

fork on palm crease

The meaning of a fork in the heart line depends on what type of fork it is. For instance, if the lower branch of the fork touches the head line below, it shows a tendency to think emotional thoughts logically. These people might hold back their feelings. If the branch reaches the start of the life line, there may be some issues from their early family life. A fork where both ends land on the Mount of Jupiter beneath the index finger, depicts a warm and romantic nature. They have a wide range of expressions emotionally. They are open-minded and level-headed. See here for more.

Heart line joins head line or dips downward

heart line joins head line, heart line dips to the head line

The dipping heart line can denote some insecurity or caution in the realm of emotions. This insecurity can manifest as a fear of loss, jealousy or inability to show compassion or emotional vulnerability. See here for more.

Other types of Heart Line

Chained looking line

chained heart line

A string of small islands throughout shows a moody, changeable and hypersensitive nature. Imagine a smooth line as showing even emotions, then a messy chained line is uneven emotions. Sometimes the chained look is brought about by mineral deficiencies in the diet. It can also show depression; look at the head line for breaks, islands or one that dips all the way down to the Mount of Moon. Either way, the subject should try to calm down if they are overly nervous.

If the chained appearance is only on the part of the line, it can represent a period of indecisiveness about their feelings. Some see the chained line as a sign of a fickle flirtatious or unfaithful lover. A heavily chained line can suggest actual heart or development problems.

A very long heart line

A very long heart line that crosses the entire palm is called a Suwon crease. It is a variation of the Simian line. Sometimes there is a second line that seems to be fused to the heart line. This type of line might depict a person who is quite demanding in matters of love and expect a lot from their partner. It depicts an obsessive and intelligent nature. Money is usually a significant factor in their purpose; hence they are liable to put work before relationships. It may also be the other way around where relationships come before work matters.

Broken heart line

broken heart line

A broken heart line is when the line stops and starts again. It can overlap or have a clean break. The main thing about the fractured heart line is that it can manifest in difficulties expressing feelings. The subject might have issues with mood swings or emotional stress. (Check type of head line). There may be a period in their life when there is a significant change, such as a broken relationship. (Check life and fate lines). These people might often feel like they are not emotionally connected and feel phases of unattachment.

More about the heart line

The heart line is the uppermost horizontal line on the palm; it represents how a person expresses their feelings and their attitudes towards relationships. The basics of reading this line are the same as the head and life lines; that is by looking at its length, depth, and quality.  

Most heart lines are not flawless and regularly exhibit branches and markings. I imagine if there were a perfect one, it would show that the emotional experiences of the person’s life would not affect them much, possibly having an insensitive and unsympathetic nature. Where the heart line sits on the palm can add to the meaning of this line.

When the line sits high (closer to the base of the fingers) it suggests the person is open-minded, but experiences regarding the emotions can be somewhat unrealistic. This type may require constant support from his/her partner.

A heart line that sits closer to the head line, suggests an introspective personality showing caution about love but with the aid of reason and a realistic (but sometimes intolerant) approach to relationships. The emotions may lie more buried under the surface.

Marks on the line.

A star mark would suggest an emotional upset or shock. Barlines depict obstacles in unions or restlessness. A cross is also an obstacle but for a more extended period than the bar line.

Missing heart line?

The missing heart line suggests a rational and emotionally detached nature. In all matters, these people are objective, rational and almost ‘mechanical’ regarding 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 to offset some of the cold characteristics.

Apollo Mount and Sun lines Meaning on the Palm

apollo mount, areas of the hand, palm reading guide, e-book palmistry

Apollo Mount and Sun lines (also named the line of Apollo or success line)

The Apollo mount is a palmistry term referring to the padded area under the ring finger. The sun line is the vertical crease that often appears in this area. These features have a significant meaning in hand analysis because they help us determine the character and potential future life.

Positive aspects of the Apollo mount is when it is neither too bulky nor too flat. An average development without too many criss-cross lines shows a versatile and adaptable person. Negative aspects are overdeveloped or overly lined and can point to gambling or paying too much attention to appearances. (See more below about the features and marks).

If the mount of Apollo is displaced towards the mount of Saturn (partially under the middle finger) or between the two fingers, the creative side of the personality is expressive; often, these people have a loop of seriousness. If the mount is flat and the ring finger is thin or short, it displays introvert qualities. The Apollo mount and Apollo finger (ring finger) represent:

  • Self-expression.
  • Outward appearances.
  • The sense of style.
  • Social life.
  • Warmth.
  • Loyalty.
  • Happiness.
Image copyrights belong to Sari Puhakka

Development of the Apollo mount:

  • A large and full Apollo mount depicts someone more flamboyant and extroverted; they enjoy being in the centre of attention. If they are not, the expression will come out in other ways, such as through forms of art. The sense of style is not always in their clothing, cars or furniture, but in what they do. Generally, they tend to do things in excess.
  • When it is noticeably flat, the sense of style and social aspects of the character are introverted. They are not one to have an interest in appearances or show off their possessions. They might be a minimalist at heart.

The positive indicators are:

  1. If the mount is not overly large, nor too flat.
  2. The Apollo mount has rising lines on it (sun lines), shows the potential of success.
  3. If the mount has a star, shows potential for fame.

Negative indicators are:

  • Many crisscrossed lines on the mount, shows that the person is overdoing things, working too hard or failing in some other way.
  • An overly large mount can show greed or overindulge in food or drink.
  • A crossbar or cross on the sun line can depict problems with the reputation.

Where is the sun line?

The sun line is a vertical line that rises from the upper areas of the Mount of Moon or anywhere on the Apollo mount. It is not present as a complete line on all hands and is more typically found only in segments. When one has the success line on the palm, it signifies the sense of achievement and satisfaction that a person feels in their life.

In legend, Apollo was the name granted to the sun god who ruled over creativity, music, and the arts; that is why the line is more prominent on those who are using their creative talent positively.

The longer this line, the more it shows talent to express creativity, personal fulfilment or merely the capacity to enjoy life. It is not a guarantee of fame and fortune, but it does bring a certain amount of luck into the individual’s life. It shows that there is potential for accomplishing a great deal. In some cases, this line rises from inside the life line; it is then referred to as an inheritance line, suggesting money or property acquired from the family’s estate.

Letter M on the Palm and Money Triangles

letter m on the palm, triangle mark, money triangle, great triangle

The Letter M on the palm has meaning, but it’s not what you think!

There are many explanations about the letter M on the palm. However, many of them are not credible. The confusing thing is that most people do not understand palmistry. People, in general, see it as simply fortune-telling, which is due to the type of information available online.

The coincidental letters formed by lines do not have any significance in real palmistry. If you believe the lines form the letter m on your palm, you’re observant and keen to learn about the lines. However, it is the lines that form the letter formation that is important.

What does the letter m on the palm stand for?

Hoax clickbait palmistry sites on the web will tell you that the M is a gift sign of someone who will make money in their life. However, if you know anything about real palmistry, you will know that it is a false belief. Almost everyone has an M on their palm, whether perfectly formed or not. It is simply a coincidental clashing of the main lines on the palm.

letter m on the palm
  1. The first part can form from the fate line or the life line, depending on its placement. If it is the life line, it’s usually short, which can mean that you are not very grounded. You probably love change and travel. It can also say that you are restless and don’t stay in one place or job for long. People who don’t connect closely to their ancestors or family have this line. Read more about the short life line here.
  2. The head line in this position is the most common line and shows a practical thinking person. See a video about the various head lines here.
  3. The career line which starts at the head line shows that the subject has not found their ideal career or motivation until around age 35. Read more about the career line here.
  4. The heart line in this position indicates an ordinarily emotional person who loves their freedom. They do not like overly clingy people and might also be somewhat selfish or cold in relationships. You can watch a video about the various heart lines here.

What about the money triangle?

Like the letter m on the palm, the money triangles are also myths made up by fraudulent fortune-tellers. The hearsay is that the great triangle depicts someone who has the ability to save and retain money. The great triangle forms if there is a health line or fate line present. The health line or fate line can rise from the line of life and if long enough, forms the triangle. Both of these examples are only coincidental. See about the meaning of a health line here.

letter m on the palm, money triangle, triangle of earnings, money triangle

The money triangle is supposed to mean the same as the great triangle but through business. But, it’s simply a branch from the fate line reaching the head line. It can represent an inspiration line and aid in career choices. But, if the line comes inside the life line (from the ball of thumb), which it often does, it’s simply a stress line that affects the person’s mental well being. Stress lines can be obstacles in life.

Triangle of Earnings

Lastly, the rumour about the triangle of earnings, the thing is, I see these lines crossing all the time. Almost everyone has it if they have a health line that touches the life line. If someone doesn’t have this triangle, it means they, too, are perfectly capable of earnings.

If you have the letter m or triangles on your palm and believe you will become wealthy just because you have them, you might be a tad gullible. Success and wealth come from hard work and determination. Anyone can earn money if they try hard enough. There is not a single hand or palm that points to a person’s inability to make or receive money. Check out my article about the billionaire Richard Branson.
