Curled Fingers

When the fingers are curled it reveals a person who feels vulnerable and has to keep her or his guard up for protection against most daily life experiences. She or he feels exposed and needs to pull back and hide from an unsafe prickly world. For example, if the little finger (Mercury) is curled a little in the not-fully-open position, it reveals a hesitancy with openness, intimacy, and very honest communication.

Finger Lengths
The fingers are like antennas. They both send and receive information by touch and feel. They also point and gesture to signal information to others.


Long Fingers


Longer fingers are seeking more contact with, and information from, the outer world. Long fingered people love details, need more data before forming opinions or decisions, and are outer directed. They are interested in the details of stories and events. They like to mentally take ideas and things apart, and put them back together again to better understand them before taking action.
Long fingered people are challenged to take action rapidly so that they do not miss opportunities. They need to guard against being “all talk and no action”. If they find others walking away in the middle of conversations, they may need to take a look at how much detailed verbiage they are putting out. They may be inundating their shorter fingered friends with too
much information!

Short Fingers


Generally, short fingered people (Fig. 2-10) don't need, or want, as much information from the outer world as do long fingered people. Short fingered people operate more on their intuition. They are more inner directed than people with long fingers. Short fingered people are action oriented and don't need or want lengthy explanations.
The challenge for short fingered people is not to jump to conclusions. They need to guard against being too impulsive.
