THE BACK OF YOUR HANDS
Skin Texture
Look at the back of your hand before you turn it over to
study the palm. Examine the skin texture.Here are the types
of skin texture you are likely to find.
Smooth, Silky Texture
This means you have good taste. You may be somewhat
passive or even lazy, but you have a vivid mind and intuition
and can leap into action when the need arises. You love
luxury and occasionally given to excessive indulgences. You
like expensive clothes and an elegant lifestyle. There are
times when you may become so extravagant that you will spend
more than you earn. You do manage to pay your bills, but
sometimes your credit rating slips. You may have problems if
your spouse or romantic partener is more prudent in terms of
spending money.
Firm, Healthy Texture
If your skin is neither too fine or too rough, you have a
desire to be active and energetic. You are somewhat of an
outdoor type. You are artistic, and like a great deal of
activity. You like to make the most out of every day. You are
efficient. You rarely make errors. You tend to put the
physical before the emotional.
Weatherbeaten, Worn Texture
Skin that shows prolonged exposure to the elements is
indicative of a strong physical nature. You like challenges,
especially with an element of risk. There are times when you
throw caution to the wind and meet difficulties head on.
This kind of reckless abandon can cause problems for you,
especially when you meet your equal or superior. But your
inner strength will see you through. You will get up after
being knocked down, but you may have some emotional and
physical scars. You are not likely to accept defeat or
failure. You will try again. You like living in the wide open
spaces.
Your Fingers
Your fingers can tell a great deal about your personality.
They can be classified as smooth or knobby- or somewhere in
between those two extremes.
Smooth Fingers
If your fingers are smooth with an absence of knotty bumps
around the joints, you are gifted with a keen intuition. Your
instincts are good. You can frequently predict how things
will turn out while others are in the dark. But one of your
weaknesses is that you tend to act first and think after-
wards. You leap before you look. Strengthen yourself by
practicing retraint. If you guard against this tendency, you
will be much more successful. You are very self confident
because of your intuitive powers. You must learn to profit
from your mistakes so that you won't repeat them.
Knobby Fingers
The person with knobby fingers has many creative ideas, but
often it'sdificult to turn these ideas into reality. You are
the type who has to think more than once before you reach
a decision. The knobs are symbolic of roadblocks that keep
you from making rash decisions.
Some people consider you slow to act, but you are right to
be careful. Your rate for failure or error is very low
because of your slow but sure approach. You like everything
in its place. Orderliness is part of your lifestyle, and you
expect it in others. If you encounter confusing people,
you'll want to get away from them, because they can confuse
you.
Your Nails
The 19th century French novelist, Honore de Balzac, wrote
that an examination of one's nails could provide clues about
that person's future. Scholars in our own time have reached
these conclusions about your nails.
Long Nails
They indicate an artistic approach to life. But you may also
be overly sensitive. Others may take advantage of you if you
are not careful. Your good nature means that you could be
hurt by selfish and greedy people. You have a desire to take
things very slowly and leisurely. You are happiest in the
slow lane. If your nails are very thin, you may have delicate
health and be more susceptible to ailments, especially
allergies. But you are a kind person and will have many
friends.
Short Nails
If you cannot grow enviably long nails, relax and go with
the flow. Having perpertually short nails means that you
often act impulsively. In selecting a romantic partener, you
may take the first one who comes your way. Sometime you can
be a winner, but there will be times when you strike out.
You don't like to remain at one task for a long time. This
may lead you to switch jobs frequently and to have new
romances more often than most people.
Jagged Nails
You may find that no amount of manicuring can keep the
edges of your nails assmooth as you would like them to be.
Even if you don't do heavy work, your nails keep becoming
jagged. There is a reason for this. Jagged nails mean that
you are not likely to have a smooth existence- there will be
ups and downs, highs and lows. These highs and lows will
happen repeatedly throughout your life. Fortunately you are
tough and resilient. Your jagged nails are strong. You can
take a defeat and come back as a better person. You can
adjust to disappointments. You can also look for great
success in your ventures.
Uneven Nails
These nails suggest that you have a rocky road in terms of
affection, earnings, and general lifestyle. You may
anticipate a long run of good luck-followed by a difficult
period of about the same length. You will learn from your
mistakes. Your love life will flourish because you are
feeling self-confident in dealing with the opposite sex.
Spoon Shaped Nails
You are in for some very exciting experiences, because you
are the type of person who likes the best, the greatest, and
the biggest of everything that life has to offer. Your nails
are concave, looking like shallow bowls on top of your
fingers. This symbolizes the fact that much of the time you
are sitting on top of the world. You enjoy the best and you
hate to settle for less.
Broad, Large Nails
If your nails look somewhat like a watchglass, you may have
some minor health problems. They should be controlled and
sorrected as early as possible. Be sure to have an annual
physical check-up. You tend to be a physical type of person
who finds fulfillment in activities that emphasize the body
first and the mind second. You have strong physical urges
that require satisfaction. You will never lack companionship
and affection. You have a get-up-and-go attitude toward life,
and you will always have a circle of friends.
