2 loops on the thumb of the right hand. Palmistry: what the patterns on your fingers will tell

Papillary patterns on the fingers are a separate extensive topic that covers a large section of knowledge: genetic characteristics, professional and sports orientation, health status, temperament, type of nervous system, etc. A special scientific discipline of dermatoglyphics is engaged in the study of individual patterns on the skin. Within the framework of this science, experts distinguish three main types of pattern: this loop, arc and curl. Other patterns are just variations of them.

When analyzing papillary patterns on the fingers, all prints should be considered in aggregate, without highlighting any particular pattern, while ignoring the rest. Yes, in some cases, when the pattern "informally" differs from the general type, we must pay special attention to it, since it indicates the specific qualities of a given person. For example, we find that there are loops on all fingers of the hand, and an arc on one, and so on. Such a different pattern adds its own “note” or accent to a person’s psychotype, in a certain way dilutes the main “set” of qualities. If there are some loops and some curls on the palm, then we can make a general conclusion that the person is sociable, sociable, flexible in character with creative and analytical data inherent in his nature. Of course, the position of the patterns is also important. So, a curl on the index finger does not mean the same thing as on the ring finger. However, the big picture is important.

Below we will attempt a brief description of the meanings of papillary patterns, based on the work of Russian chirologist Evgeny Ostrogorsky “Palmistry. Lines of Fate. Ostrogorsky distinguishes six main subtypes of patterns on the fingers: loops, arcs, curls, complex curls, a hipped arc, and a peacock curl. However, we repeat again that the position of the pattern on a particular finger also has its own semantic meaning.

So, loops found in sociable, sociable and sociable people. Such individuals are flexible by nature, easily adapt to a new environment, feel confident in a company and work well in a team. Quickly find a common language with others. Well adapted to life.

arcs are characteristic of very purposeful and hardworking people whose interests are directed towards the material side. Such people are stubborn, they go straight to the goal (throughout). Unambiguous and conservative. They are not inclined to conduct any intrigues. Open, direct and practical. There is a love for manual labor.

curls characteristic of people with a complex organization of the psyche, individualists, independent, in-depth. Such people work best on their own. As a rule, they are intellectually gifted, have a high level of thinking. Nevertheless, the degree of their intelligence must be judged by paying attention to other features of the palm.

Double loops (intricate curls) testify to the ability to see any problem from different angles. Their owners are multifaceted personalities. These are diplomatic, but not self-confident people. It is difficult for them to bring things to an end, it is difficult to make decisions.

Hip arc occurs in easily excitable people prone to strong feelings. This is a sign of enthusiasm, artistry, anxiety, impulsiveness. Such people are usually very active, emotional and creative. They have an explosive type of character, they are full of inspiration and original ideas.

"Peacock eye" found in people with a developed sense of beauty and creativity. The area of ​​manifestation of talent depends on which finger this type of curl is on.

Some additional characteristics of the basic patterns can be found in the book Palmistry by Australian palmist Andrew Fitzherbert. So, according to the palmist, people who are dominated by arc fingerprints, usually suspicious, do not believe anything until they themselves are convinced in practice. They know how and love to work with their hands, they easily create and repair things. Therefore, they make wonderful artisans. You can rely on them, because being tireless workers, such people know how to bring what they started to the end. They are always practical, they try to benefit from everything. Their character is restrained, such people do not like to show their feelings to others. Positive qualities include mental toughness, realism, and practicality. Negative qualities include reluctance to accept change, lack of responsiveness.

People who are dominated looped patterns on the fingertips, easy to adapt to different circumstances. They are easy to communicate with, they are friendly, open and always make the best of the situations they find themselves in. They make a good impression on others. So, if people with arc and especially whorl fingerprints often have a rather difficult character, then the owners of looped fingerprints can get along with everyone. The positive qualities of such people include flexibility and sociability. The negative features are the lack of individualism, a strong "agreement".

People with dominant whorled(circular) patterns on the pads of the fingers - pronounced individualists, they can hardly be called "one of the many." They always have clearly formulated ideas for any reason, are able to keep their experiences to themselves, and are often gifted with some kind of talent. Such people are usually very demanding of others, not being as demanding of themselves; they always need "special conditions". The positive qualities of people with circular fingerprints include attentiveness and general ability. Negative qualities: isolation, excessive self-absorption, individualism (too many "I").

In general, we can say that the owners of the loop pattern are social people who work well in a team. The owners of curls can also express themselves in society, but tend to be more analytical and work alone. People with a lot of arches often do manual labor. As often happens in nature, in any of the designated psychotypes you can find your pros and cons. Thus, one may be upset to find that he has only a "simple" pattern of loops or arcs on his fingers, desiring to have a more rare curlic pattern. But curls, as a rule, testify not only to intellectual or artistic abilities, but also to a certain sharpening of perception, to significant individualism. It is much more difficult for such people to get along with others, they are much more likely to “devour themselves from the inside”, not being satisfied with their results and those around them in general. If we exaggerate, then we can say this: having equal starting conditions and equal time for training, an artist with curls on his fingers will achieve more in skill and creativity (if he studies diligently and moderates his egocentric temper) than an artist with loops on his fingers. And on the other hand, although people with a looped pattern on their fingers will take much longer to reach the same goal as people with curls, they will enjoy communication, from their team, they will be much less prone to stress and “self-eating” . Being sociable and sociable people, it is much easier for them to achieve “simple human happiness”, to come to a harmonious partnership. Please note that this example is only a simplified illustration. Of great importance for the analysis of the character, temperament and abilities of a person are also the shape of the palm, the length of the fingers, the nature of the lines, etc.

As E. Fitzherbert notes, loops are the most common type of prints characteristic of the average person. Next in frequency of occurrence are arcs and whorls. These three basic types of patterns add up to 80 percent of all occurrences. Much more rare in terms of occurrence are the patterns of the tented arch, the complex curl and the “peacock eye” curl. Nevertheless, despite the fact that the loop pattern is the most common occurrence, it is considered in palmistry to be the “golden mean” between the complex and simple organization of the psyche. So, the simplest mental organization and predictability (and it cannot be said that this is bad, by no means) are observed in people with an arc pattern, and the most complex organization of the psyche and nervous system is in people with whorl patterns.

Look at the pads of your fingers. The patterns on them can tell you a lot about your abilities and shortcomings, warn against possible troubles and direct your forces in the right direction. Of course, provided that you can understand all the intricacies of patterns, their combination, the number of lines - the so-called scallops that create patterns on all ten fingers ...

Purely general points, of course, can be determined by yourself, having gathered information from the same Internet. For example, there are three main characteristic patterns in total - arcs, loops, curls. Therefore, you can even make some calculations yourself, using the information at the end of the material. But dermatoglyphics (derma - skin, glyphe - engrave), and we are talking about it - this is still a section of science, not palmistry - fortune telling by hand. Dermatoglyphics will not predict your future with the help of dermatoglyphics, but will only outline the areas (be it sports or creativity) in which you can be most successful. And without 100% execution - they say, everything is written on my fingers that I will become a great swimmer or wrestler, which means everything will work out that way. Most likely it won't work. Talent and inherent opportunities are nothing without their constant development, the same persistent and constant training.

The drawings on the fingertips depict a kind of DNA model or, if you like, our punched card. The human nervous system and patterns on the fingers are formed simultaneously from the same germinal material in the womb, at 14-16 weeks of fetal development. And fingerprints do not change from birth until death (unlike, by the way, from the lines on the palms). After reading several articles on this topic, the Riga oncologist, surgeon Boris ONISCHUK began to study dermatoglyphics. He managed to get Moscow specialists to take him to their courses, and now he has added a certificate in dermatoglyphics to his diplomas. When Boris offered to show me what I had learned, I readily agreed. But for the purity of the experiment, he did not tell anything about himself ... (photo - otvetplanet.ru)

Medical dynasty

We met at the office. Boris took out a laptop and a small electronic device, a box with a piece of glass, on which, in fact, it was necessary to lay each finger in turn. Approximately as in some airports in different countries that require fingerprinting, and now in Latvia when issuing passports.

Scanned patterns immediately appeared on the computer display screen. And what is so unusual that Boris (more on this later), who has been working in oncology for 7 years, can tell me about them? I wonder why the oncologist decided to take up dermatoglyphics as well?

My parents and relatives are doctors, so I knew from school that I would go into medicine, - Boris tells about his choice. - And with specialization was defined in the course of study. Previously, he worked in an ambulance for four years. I also have a second certificate in dermatology. And my direction in oncology is very closely connected with various skin problems: skin formations - both malignant and benign. I became interested in dermatoglyphics after reading an article about it. I wanted to learn more about myself and my abilities. I found out that these developments were and are being carried out at the famous Bauman Moscow State Technical University (former Moscow State Technical University, where specialists are trained, in particular, in space development - K.M.).

After a certain time, I managed to agree with a Moscow professor, Igor Nikolaevich Spiridonov, that he would help me master the method of dermatoglyphics. Spiridonov created a program that calculates the parameters of patterns in digital format. There are no analogues in the world.

Yes, patterns can be visually determined by fingers, but, for example, the number of ridges (the lines that form them) cannot be determined by eye. I studied with Spiridonov both the technical side of the matter and the interpretation of the data received.

For the last 20 years, professors Spiridonov and Tamara Fyodorovna Abramova have been studying the physical abilities of a person. They have a lot of statistics. They took entire institutes and examined students. And also took for comparison patients with cerebral palsy. The developmental delay could also be read from the characteristic patterns on the fingers of these patients.

Cast of personality

- Fingers reflect not only our mental development, but also our physical condition?

Yes. In this area, work is underway not only in Russia, but also abroad. They, in particular, investigate congenital hereditary pathologies, the most famous of which is Down syndrome.

That is, the study of fingerprints is like the study of a cast of personality? For example, is it possible in the future to entrust a specific person with the control of a ship (including a space ship), go on reconnaissance with him, or is this person better suited for other tasks?

Quite right. One is able to lead a team, while the other may have a craving for individual work ...

Thus, you can tell a person where he can show himself best? So that for many years they do not go in search of their own "I"?

Yes. And to determine this, it is necessary to match the patterns on all fingers. Because each finger has a certain individual characteristic. Even twins have different fingerprints.

Olga and Tatyana Arntgolts. Who is who offhand and can not be determined. But according to the prints - easily ... (yousmi.by)

I have already had to take fingerprints from two-year-old and three-year-old children, as well as their parents. Interestingly, in one girl, for example, the type of patterns was identical to her father's. The second child in the patterns on the fingers had something from his father, something from his mother.

In the first case, the father is in search, but on the right track. I just suggested to him that he believe in the loyalty to the chosen goal, not be afraid to create his own company, but with a small number of employees. He has the ability to lead, good performance and endurance. And the daughter's qualities of a leader are even more pronounced. If we compare daughter, father and mother, then the latter has the highest coordination of all - this is the ability to perform a variety of work, switch from one task to another. She, too, is quite capable of running her own business in the future when she grows up.

- Have you tested yourself? Are you sure you have chosen the right specialty?

Yes, according to my fingerprints, it was clear, for example, that banking, logistics or law are not mine.

In your case, with a greater degree of probability, we can still talk about heredity, which is clear even without imprints. With doctors, most often children become doctors after all, and not bus drivers ...

Yes, that's why whole dynasties are born - military men, doctors, steelworkers, actors ...

Inheritance and bad habits

- And how do heredity, bad habits and diseases affect the future abilities of a person?

I studied Chikatilo's fingerprints, which I found on the Internet, and saw 4 patterned asymmetries on his fingers of the same name. This is a lot! Asymmetry is when, for example, there is a loop on the index finger of the left hand, and a curl on the same finger of the right hand. One or two asymmetries, but not four! This proves that we have an unpredictable person, emotionally and psychologically unbalanced.

Although there is a type of patterns that shows that a person, even if he grows up in an asocial environment, is able to break out of it. Let's say the parents are alcoholics, and the child grows up as a normal person. And there are those who, on the contrary, being in quite comfortable conditions, can get into an asocial environment.

The qualities of a person can manifest themselves in different ways in civilian life and in war. Say, if an emotional person sits in a desk and does monotonous work, is it unlikely that something good will come of it both for him and for those around him?

There is a certain conflict parameter: for example, a radial loop on the index finger. Of my acquaintances, two had these radial loops. They can actually be quite tough in certain situations. And such people can be safely sent, for example, to hot spots - they will be able to navigate in such a situation faster than others. In the office, it is much more difficult for them to find use for their own strengths.

Is it possible to determine a person's resistance to difficulties, the boundary where he can break down by fingerprints?

Every person has strengths and weaknesses. For example, versatile abilities, but weak stamina. Therefore, this type of people should not solve many small insignificant tasks, but should focus on one big one. Then he will be able to fully reveal himself, and not be wasted on trifles.

Such cases are known when a person, doing different things all his life, suddenly, by the age of 60, began to draw and achieved success in this. Although this “suddenly”, undoubtedly, smoldered in him all his life ...

Yes, there was simply no push, no hint from outside, no encouragement: come on, you can do it! More often it happens the other way around: there is a person nearby who slows down development, is skeptical about all the successes of his partner.

... To prevent this from happening, there is dermatoglyphics. It is gradually beginning to be used in some large Russian companies, where it is necessary to effectively select and distribute personnel. However, this is often even more important for very small companies, where the dependence on the ability of each person is even greater. Dermatoglyphics can also help in personal life, suggest which life partner is most suitable for a girl or a guy.

However, it is good if there are tips that relate to different areas of life. Of course, you can’t prepare cheat sheets for all cases, but it’s always useful to understand what is closer and more accessible to you. How much time, effort and money can be saved by doing this! Do not try, for example, to achieve something in the sprint, but immediately find out that this is not entirely yours, and try yourself, for example, in marathon distances ...

And now what Dr. Onischuk saw through my fingers. These are “excellent intellectual abilities (associative and analytical thinking) and excellent coordination”, as stated in his conclusion. The latter characterizes "the ability to perceive, implement and perform complex, diverse movements and actions." The doctor also noted that it is easy for me to switch from one task-topic to another. But I can feel discomfort during monotonous mental and physical work, get tired quickly. “From sports, acyclic ones are suitable, in which excellent coordination and good endurance are manifested. Game types - in football, for example, a defender, midfielder (as a child, by the way, I was happy to stand at the gate - K.M.), wrestling (in his youth he gave 10 years to boxing - K.M.), from winter - more snowboarding than skiing (I mastered them a few years ago - K.M.). You should also like dancing (as a student I danced until you drop - K.M.)...

But reactivity to me (the doctor is right here, too), perhaps, is sometimes not enough. For example, in disputes, when all the best arguments come, as they say, after. On the other hand, it is non-conflicting, the study emphasizes: “extremism and a tendency to antisocial behavior are minimal.” Yes, I could learn to draw well, but Aivazovsky is unlikely to come out of me. Well, I learn...

What are we? We consider ourselves...

Dermatoglyphics appeared in medicine in the 1920s. Its ancestor in Russia is the anthropologist Mikhail VOLOTSKY. And Russian scientists from the Research and Development Center for Biometric Technology at Bauman Moscow State Technical University managed to create biometric fingerprint scanners and a computer program that automatically generates a person's dermatoglyphic map. According to it, his personal characteristics are determined.

For example, according to Tamara Abramova, Doctor of Biology, sprinters, skaters, and track and field athletes (who require maximum realization in a short time) have simple patterns on their fingers, and the number of ridges inside the pattern is minimal. But for wrestlers, boxers, gymnasts, freestylers (athletes who need complex coordination of movements), a complex pattern is combined with a maximum ridge score. The complication of the function in team sports leads to the complication of patterns.

loops

People whose fingers are dominated by loop patterns are the "golden mean". They have a wide range of interests, they easily converge with others, tolerate any oddities, while quite adequately assessing what is happening. With all their pluses and minuses, they are ideal leaders, capable of satisfying everyone, albeit to a minimum. Moreover, they do not put pressure on others (like people with arcs) and do not torment anyone with constantly changing plans (like owners of curls).

curls

People with a predominance of curls are characterized by diverse and very complex behavior. Despite their colossal endurance, they do not like to endure unpleasant circumstances for themselves. Constantly dissatisfied with themselves, prone to introspection and painful doubts. People-"curls" are distinguished by excellent coordination.

It is not difficult to conduct a shallow analysis of oneself. For a certain pattern on each finger, the following number of points is awarded: arc - 0, loop - 1, curl - 2.

The maximum indicator (based on 10 fingers) is 20. Low (up to 10) characterizes outstanding speed-strength qualities - cycle track, athletics, skates. In football and basketball, these are forwards.

Medium (from 10 to 13) - endurance indicator - cycling, stayer distances.

High (above 13) - ability for complex-coordinated activities - barbell, boxing, figure skating. In football and basketball, these are defenders and goalkeepers ...

Curl

The basis of the curl is either a spiral or various kinds of circles, in the center of which there is a papillary papilla (Figure 1.52). In such a pattern, the presence of two triradii is obligatory, which are located on opposite sides of the curl (highlighted in black in Figure 1.52). If the curl is a spiral, then it can be either right-handed (Figure 1.52-2), i.e., twisting towards the thumb, or vice versa - left-handed, which twists towards the little finger. The energy in such a curl constantly circulates around the center, so this position of the papillary lines shows that the energy can enter and exit, because it goes in a spiral and, having reached the center, returns back.

If the curl is a concentric circle, which are distant from each other by small distances, and in appearance resembles a "target" (Fig. 1.52), then the energy in such a curl is maximally concentrated in the center of the pattern. She stays in it all the time, since she has nowhere to go, and therefore this type of curl is rightfully considered one of the strongest.

Curl is a sign of individuality. Different curls are interpreted differently. So, for example, a right-handed spiral indicates a dynamic and strong personality, while a left-handed spiral indicates spiritual strength and the gift of intuitive foresight, which helps out in emergency situations. To unexpected events that require instant action, such a person reacts extremely quickly. But this is not a consequence of hasty decisions, but rather the gift of intuitively finding the right solution. Concentric circles indicate an understanding of all that is beautiful, and sometimes indicate a penchant for parapsychology and esotericism. When analyzing curls, you should always remember that the more complex the drawing, the more complex the human psyche. He will never make a hasty decision, and unexpected changes in plans will be very unpleasant for him. First, such people must internally tune in to a new wave and mentally play all possible situations in their minds.

When describing the psychological characteristics of curls, I will not dwell on each of the drawings separately, but will describe in general the main features that are present in their owners. A person whose fingerprints represent curls is a bright individual with a well-formed opinion. The owner of curls always strives to find his niche in life and become a professional in a certain field. This is a seeker and a doer, a theorist and an experimenter rolled into one. Such a person is almost always dissatisfied with what is happening both around and inside him, and is constantly trying to change something. It has tremendous potential and inexhaustible vitality, which is aimed at achieving ambitious goals, but often a person remains misunderstood in the eyes of those around him. It is for someone who stands out from the crowd, has his own judgments for everything and analyzes common truths, the skin lines form curls. It is difficult to find a common language with such a person, because he always does everything in his own way and does not like outside interference in his personal affairs. Most likely, he will cease to reckon with the opinions of other people if they stand in the way of his desires and ideas. Therefore, individuals with a lot of curls often seek adventure in the sexual sphere and simply love to behave outside the box. In addition, the carriers of curls are cunning and artistic, able to hide their inner essence and quickly change their “masks”. Such people cannot be convicted of adultery, because they will do everything possible so that their partner does not find out anything. The positive characteristics of the personality include independence, love of freedom and all-round talent, and the negative ones - the tendency to isolation, isolation and narcissism. In combination with other signs, curls can indicate a desire to dominate in a relationship. Very often, the predominance of curls indicates a special talent or ability of a person, which can apply to various areas of life, including a career.

Curls, which are a spiral, speak of a special rhythm of emotional experiences that are repeated at regular intervals. As a rule, such people have an exceptional memory, so they are often able to recall long-past events from the depths of their consciousness. Once suffered, they never forget, just like the happiness they experienced: because of the first, a person suffers, and the second he lives. For the most part, life values ​​are analyzed subconsciously, and personal impressions for such people become the ultimate truth.

People with concentric curls are focused only on their own interests and are least likely to sacrifice themselves for the sake of other people. They are created for leadership, in extreme cases - by themselves. A person who has a concentric curl only on the left index finger passionately devotes himself to his beloved work, and if at the same time the index finger is smaller than the ring finger, then this is a sign of a painful perception of criticism addressed to him. Additional concentric curls on the little finger, middle and ring fingers indicate success in the areas for which these fingers are responsible.

Curl on the thumb testifies to good health, well-restored strength and excellent memory. Such a person will never change a decision already made, and this is especially noticeable if curls are present on both hands.

Curl on the index finger gives out inflated aspirations, which are supported by high self-esteem and, as a rule, are distinguished by individuality and originality. Such people have poor adaptability, but due to their pressure and determination, they rarely go astray. They make good leaders, but for this they need to overcome their natural shyness. Such people have their own view of things and many ideas, defending which they can force others to reckon with them and respect their point of view. Thanks to the energy that is maximally concentrated around the center of the curl, truly magnificent life opportunities open up to such a person.

Curl on the middle finger says that a person has the opportunity to realize all his ambitious desires. He is able to put all his skill into work, but requires that he be appreciated according to his merits, which gives him peculiar incentives and self-confidence. Such individuals are initially introverted, but over the years they become more and more relaxed and less withdrawn. Routine work is not tolerated, because they do not receive the necessary incentives from it that help them assert themselves in life. The curl takes in the maximum energy of Saturn and gives the necessary harmony and self-understanding. Energy is able to concentrate so strongly in this finger that in exceptional cases it can not only smooth out negative patterns on other fingers, but also give a person the ability to learn from his mistakes.

Curl on the ring finger indicates creativity and indicates receptivity in a relationship with a partner. Such a person appreciates family coziness and comfort, but along with this, the curl endows its owner with shyness and self-doubt.

Curl on the little finger reveals innate instinct and good memory. Since the concentration of energy in such a curl is very strong, this leads to an overabundance of the characteristics of both the upper phalanx and the finger as a whole. These are sincere and devoted friends, excellent organizers, very attentive to details and trying to achieve perfection in everything. It is impossible to influence such people and impose their opinion on them, and because of their special view of the world, they are able to carefully select only what interests them, ignoring everything else.

Peacock eye (feather)

The central axis of such a pattern consists of radial or elbow loops, which are combined into one curl. This is a simultaneous connection of a loop and a curl, therefore such a pattern has an axis of symmetry and only one triradius. The central axis in English-language literature is called the peacock eye, because such a figure resembles the pattern on the feather of a peacock's tail. This type of pattern is especially indicative of an explanation from the point of view of the flow of energy flows in the finger. The energy enters the loop, approaches the center and concentrates in the center of the drawing, but cannot stay there and leaves the center along the delta back from the finger, which indicates the combined qualities of the loop and curl.

"Peacock eye" (Figures 1.53) is most often found on the index or ring finger, less often it can be found on the middle finger and little finger. The fingers on which a similar pattern is located show in which area a person’s talent lies, which, of course, gives the person a certain charm. If this pattern is found on the ring finger, then it bestows a developed sense of beauty and unlimited creative abilities. On the index finger, this pattern marks managers from God, and on the little finger, it gives great talents for communication and eloquence. There is also an opinion that the presence of a "peacock eye" even on one finger is a sign of a person's protection from negative life situations and sudden death, which, of course, should be confirmed by other parts of the hand.

Hent arch with a loop inside

This type of papillary pattern is combined from a loop, which is encircled from above by an arc, inside of which there is an axis, as in the example of a tented arc (Figure 1.54). The pattern belongs to the arc type, since the largest part of the energy passes along the trajectory of the arc papillary lines and only a very small part of it is able to linger in the internal loop. Since a loop appears in the pattern, it is necessary to determine its direction, due to the fact that the psychological interpretation of such a pattern will come from the direction of the loop and the characteristics of the tent arc. For example, Figure 1.54-1 shows a hip arch with a radial loop, and Figure 1.54-2 with an elbow loop.

People with such patterns have unusual inclinations or occupations, can do several things at the same time, or often change professions. A man with a tent arch and a radial loop inside does not issue orders and prescriptions, therefore he prefers free professions or, at least, sets his own mode of work. Such people can assert their principles regardless of others, which very often happens in the family, among relatives or neighbors.

Such a pattern on the index finger indicates a suppressed sense of self-worth, which prevents the individual from fully revealing his natural abilities and talents. Almost all wearers of the hip arch with a loop have an inflexible character, a desire for independence and conservative views on life. Very often, such people are let down by intuition, and illusory ideas and dreams are taken aside.

After we have examined the description of the psychological traits of a person’s character, both in general and each finger individually, we will consider all these characteristics in a complex according to the most repetitive papillary patterns.

The predominant pattern on the fingers is arches. Those whose papillary patterns are dominated by arcs are distinguished by purely concrete thinking. These people are predictable and purposeful, it is difficult for them to adapt to changes in the environment and listen to the opinions of others. They are truthful, frank, do not like behind-the-scenes intrigues and easily cut the “truth-womb” right in the face. In most cases, arc patterns on the fingers indicate that the person is traditional, responsible, honest, and generally satisfied with everything. These people tend to obey, they appreciate simple things and pleasures, but can be inflexible, domineering and proud. They prefer to deal with familiar people and things, they very often have problems with self-expression and lack ease and spontaneity in character.

The predominant pattern on the fingers is loops. People with a predominance of loop patterns on their fingers are the “golden mean”. They have a wide range of interests, they easily converge with others, tolerate any of their oddities, while quite adequately assessing what is happening. With all their pluses and minuses, these are ideal leaders, capable of satisfying everyone, albeit at a minimum. Moreover, they do not put pressure on those around them, as, for example, the owners of arc patterns, and do not torment anyone with constantly changing plans, like individuals with curls. People who have most patterns in the form of loops are open-minded, receptive and experimental. Usually self-confident, flexible and sociable - they are social reformers, benevolent and practical people. They are very emotionally responsive, but may lack focus. Loops on all fingers indicate that a person feels at ease in public and has a very flexible character.

The predominant pattern on the fingers is curls. Those whose fingers are dominated by whorls are distinguished by a varied and highly complex behavior. Despite their colossal endurance, they do not like to endure unpleasant circumstances for themselves. Constantly dissatisfied with themselves, prone to introspection and painful doubts. If most of the patterns are curls, then this is a confident, strong-willed, ambitious and purposeful person. These are individualists, peculiar and stubborn, and also are originals and rebels. They can be withdrawn, distrustful and prone to solitude. These are strong and independent individuals who easily succeed in everything.

The predominant pattern on the fingers is hip arches. People whose majority of drawings represent tent arcs are enthusiastic, ardent and sincere. They are devoted and selfless, emotional, idealistic and socially active. In addition, they have a creative mindset, they appreciate art and music, they are sensitive and live an intense inner life. Both arc and tent patterns indicate people who value tradition, honor family values ​​and, despite their creative nature and liberal views, may seem old-fashioned.

The predominant pattern on the fingers is double loops. Most of these patterns indicate people who are diplomatic, insecure and receptive to the arguments of both arguing parties. They are balanced and want to live in a way that does not interfere with others. At times they are very touchy. These are down-to-earth, realistic and practical people who remain incorrigible idealists and dreamers at heart.

And now we will consider the main character traits with the repetition of patterns on the fingers and with their complete asymmetry. If curls are present on both fingers of Jupiter, then this indicates that such a person has a vocation or destiny for some kind of activity, for example, in the desire to help others and feel useful to society. It also speaks of a strong need to be better than others in their chosen field. Such people should never be ordered or even told what to do, and in order to get something from them, you need to politely and without pressure simply ask for a service.

A curl on the finger of Mercury and a curl on the finger of Apollo indicate an active subconscious. Such a person sees prophetic dreams, is very impressionable and has a vivid imagination.

The presence of curls on both thumbs speaks of individualism and originality. Their owner will never change the decisions made and will not act differently. It is distinguished by great willpower, ambition and independence. It has also been noticed that the owner of a single curl on the thumb of his right hand tends to literally harass those around him with lengthy arguments, giving the impression of an intelligent and prudent person.

A loop on the thumb and curls on the rest indicate that such a person is able to work in a team and, thanks to his personality, can put his ideas into practice.

A curl on the finger of Jupiter on the right hand and a loop on the left finger indicate a lack of determination and independence in the independent implementation of ideas, and vice versa - a loop on the right finger of Jupiter and a curl on the left, speak of a person who can succeed in any profession, but she never will take first place for him (for left-handers, the location of the papillary patterns should be the other way around).

A curl on the middle finger and a loop on the finger of the other hand indicates that such a person accepts other people's ideas better than his own.

It is also noted that when curls prevail on the right hand, then such a person is quick-tempered, but quick-tempered and does not remember resentment, and vice versa, when curls prevail on the left hand, then their owner is inclined to suppress anger, but will remember the offense caused to him for a long time.

Quite often in practice it will occur that a person equally owns two hands, or does not know which one he has active, which can significantly complicate the analysis of a person when looking for a karmic destiny. Faced with this situation, you should know that the papillary pattern will always be more difficult on the active hand than on the passive one. So, for example, a true left-hander will have a whorl on the finger of Jupiter on the left hand and a loop on the right finger of Jupiter. If the papillary pattern on both fingers of Jupiter is the same, then the fingers of Saturn look the same way, etc.

And in conclusion of this section, I want to turn again to the statistics that experts in dermatoglyphics have collected. They argue that representatives of different sports differ significantly in papillary patterns. For example, in speed-strength sports, where it is required to "give all the best" in a short time, simpler patterns and the smallest ridge count (this is the number of lines inside the pattern) are observed. On the contrary, the most complex pattern in combination with a high ridge count can be seen in athletes of those sports where complex coordination of movements is necessary. An intermediate position in these indicators is occupied by sports where endurance and static stability are required. In team sports, a slightly different picture is observed: there, the wider the field of activity of an athlete, the more complex the pattern on the fingers (for example, more curls, fewer loops, and arcs do not occur at all).

Nails

Nails are made of a substance called keratin and are a hard, dead form of protein. Nails are not only designed to protect the nerve cells that are concentrated on the first phalanx of the finger, but along with this they tell us about the state of the whole organism and, in particular, about the human circulatory system. In addition to determining health by the nail plate, you can find out the main character traits by the shape of the nail, and when applying these data to each finger, you can understand with what attitude a person will realize himself in a particular life area. Since in this big topic we are studying the characteristics by which psychological traits of character are determined, we will now omit the topic of health and focus entirely on how a person’s nails complement the personality traits we have already studied. In addition, I will show you how to learn to determine future events that will happen in a person’s life in two to three months by the points under the nail plates. The topic of nails is very easy to learn and is about equal in ease of perception to the topic of jewelry on the fingers that we discussed earlier.

Before proceeding to describe the personality characteristics of the nail, you need to remember one rule for yourself: a normal-length nail usually occupies exactly half of the first phalanx of the finger. If the nail occupies less than half of the phalanx, then it is considered short, and if more, then it is long. A normal nail is shown in Figure 1.55.

Short and wide nails. A nail is considered short if its length is less than half of the upper phalanx, and wide if the width of the nail itself exceeds in comparison its length, as shown in figures 1.56 and 1.56-1. The owners of such nails have a very large supply of energy, because the energy going from the third phalanx of the finger to the first rushes up, quickly reaches the tip of the nail, turns around and goes back to the finger.

A person with such nails has a very quick-tempered, but quick-tempered character. He quickly reacts to all events happening to him, is very resourceful and witty. Sexually and emotionally aggressive, prone to jealousy and possessiveness. He likes to argue and in any case tries to defend his point of view. He may not be interested in the feelings of others, especially when it comes to open rivalry. In the case when such a person realizes that he is wrong, he becomes gloomy, withdraws and withdraws into himself, unable to bear the criticism addressed to him.

If the nails are too short and at the same time wide, then their owner will be too aggressive, quick-tempered, irreconcilable and picky. Such nails betray an inveterate debater who, if he is unable to defend his point of view, can turn into a bully and use his fists if he no longer has words to convince his opponent.

Long and wide nails. Nails of this type occupy most of the upper phalanx of the finger and are wide, since they occupy almost the entire phalanx in width (Figure 1.57). The flow of energy has to travel a long way in order to be reflected from the edge of the nail.

Such nails are a sign of cautious, impressionable and prudent people. They can be nervous and have a very sensitive psyche, but along with this they have an open and kind soul. They are sympathetic, emotional and constant in their affections, prefer to engage in practical activities and strive to succeed in everything they do. Often they are thinkers, but they lack the competitive spirit and intellectual power to defend their opinions. Being professionals in narrow areas, they have their own opinion on many issues, and it can be very difficult to convince them of something.

Wide and rounded nails. A nail of this shape is approximately equal in length and width and is rounded at the nail bed (Figures 1.58 and 1.58-1). Streams of energy smoothly flow around such a nail, practically without encountering obstacles in their path.

The owners of such nails are distinguished by a calm and soft character. They can be agitated and nervous, but very rarely lose their temper. In appearance, they may seem thick-skinned, but this is far from being the case, and in fact they are thin and vulnerable natures. People who have this type of nail live with feelings, but are able to listen to opinions from the outside, and under unfavorable circumstances they can stand up for themselves, while showing their inherent courage and strength. This is the most harmonious type of nail, which averages out all the unfavorable properties of other nail forms.

Short spatulate nails. The main difference between such nails and representatives of other forms is that the nail bed has a triangular shape, expanding towards the end of the finger, due to which the nail occupies the smaller half of the first phalanx (Figures 1.59 and 1.59-1). Energy flows around the nail much faster than in the previous case, giving a person an explosive character.

People with such nails are ambitious, active, dynamic, intolerant and often subject to mood swings. They strive to occupy their niche in society and can use all their natural charm in order to become adored in the team. They have an unstable psyche, and any, even minor problems can easily drive such people crazy. In order to relieve excessive stress, they very often go in for sports, and if they wish and have patience, they can achieve good results in it. Also, people with such nails are characterized by all the qualities that are inherent in the owners of spade-shaped fingers, namely: earthiness, thirst for money and attachment to everything material to the detriment of spiritual development.

Long and narrow nails. Nails of this type are found only in the fair sex (Figures 1.60, 1.60-1 and 1.60-2). Energy flows do not go to the nail, but flow around it along the path of least resistance, that is, along both edges.

The external attractiveness of such a nail, unfortunately, does not endow its owner with a good, soft and compliant character. A large layer on both sides of the nail indicates selfishness. Such women can be charming and even act like children from time to time, but behind this mask lies a rather ambitious, possessive, materialistic and very capricious nature. They love everything good and expensive, but they will never spend their own efforts in order to achieve all these benefits themselves. The narrower the nails, the more touchy and irritable a person is, and at the same time, a too long nail gives its owner self-interest. In its extreme manifestation and when confirmed by other signs on the hand, this is the nail of the “bitch”, which is characterized by calculation in relationships and the use of people around for its own selfish purposes. If the owner of such a nail “loses footing” or somehow changes her usual way of life, then she becomes very irritable, nervous and excitable and begins to treat everything with suspicion, anxiety and tormented by doubts.

Almond nails. Nails of this type are mainly found on conical fingers or on hands of the aquatic type (Figures 1.61 and 1.61-1). The energy smoothly flows around the nail, giving such a nail a refinement in characteristics.

Owners of nails of this type are sensitive and receptive. They very subtly feel everything that happens around and have developed intuition. In relationships with a partner, such people are devoted and emotional and tend to give more in love than receive. They often experience a feeling of insecurity, are overly gullible and gullible, which is why they can be deceived by unscrupulous people. They are very closed and reluctant to share their inner experiences, and in life they always guard their inner world and almost never fully open up. Remember that if you lose their trust even once, you will never again be able to count on them to open up and trust you completely. Also, such nails have the qualities of conical fingers.

Summing up the ratio of long and short nails, it should be noted that the owners of long nails have a less critical and more impressionable character compared to the owners of the second variety. Long nails are inherent in more calm, polite and accommodating personalities, for whom everything in life is given relatively easily. Owners of short nails are very skeptical and tend to analyze everything, logically and analytically explore any situation. In any case, they will defend their point of view to the end, even if they are not right. Such people have the character of an inveterate debater, which, however, can be softened by an excellent sense of humor.

And now, knowing the general characteristics of nails, we will consider them in relation to the fingers, based on a comparison of their length and width. The tendency to criticize is determined by the fingernail of Jupiter, credulity - by the fingernail of Saturn, aggressiveness and the ability to stand up for oneself - by the fingernail of Apollo, and insight - by the fingernail of Mercury.

The tendency to criticize. If the width of the nail exceeds its length on the first phalanx of the finger of Jupiter, then the person is prone to criticism, pettiness and conflict. And vice versa, if the length exceeds the width of the nail, then this sign indicates naivety, compromise, unwillingness to delve into the situation, simplification of details and embellishment of reality.

Credulity. If the width of the nail exceeds its length on the first phalanx of the finger of Saturn, then the person is not inclined to take a word and constantly double-checks the information received. He is skeptical, ironic, and has a tendency to make fun of those around him. On the contrary, if the length exceeds the width, then such a person is trusting, does not see the partner's meanness and has a very painful reaction to deceit.

Aggressiveness. If the width of the nail exceeds its length on the first phalanx of the finger of Apollo, then the person has a tendency to objections, increased aggression and vindictiveness in character. With an increased length of the nail, an inability to protect, aversion to aggression, peacefulness and friendliness are manifested. Quite often, such a person takes a position of conciliation.

Insight. If the width of the nail exceeds its length on the first phalanx of the finger of Mercury, then such a person is perceptive and able to grasp all the details on the fly and penetrate to the very essence of things, due to which he rarely makes mistakes when making decisions. He is suspicious, but at the same time observant. If the length exceeds the width, then this sign indicates excessive credulity, so such people very often become victims of intrigue and deceit.

The structure of the nails. When analyzing the shape of a nail, it is imperative to pay attention to its structure and thickness, since these qualities will complement the psychological portrait of a person. Nails are hard, soft and brittle in structure, and thick, normal and thin in thickness.

hard nails testify to the decisive and firm character of a person who has a very great vitality. Such people are strong, powerful, persistent in achieving their goals and along with this they have great endurance.

soft nails are the complete opposite of solids. Their owners sometimes lack energy and vitality. They need strong partners nearby who can energize them and stimulate them in a certain way, otherwise the owners of thin nails will quickly lose interest in everything and will experience fatigue. They can often be influenced and manipulated.

brittle nails- the first sign of a person's nervousness. It is very important for such people to live in harmony both with the outside world and with themselves. They are not fighters, and when unforeseen situations or problems arise, they tend to get very nervous and worried, which harms their psyche and health in general. It has been noticed that the owners of brittle nails tend to walk in circles and they can make the same mistakes, because they cannot always take the situation soberly due to the abundance of various emotions.

There is not a single person on earth with the same pattern on their fingers as you. Dermatoglyphics scientists can tell by the patterns on the fingers not only about a person's predisposition to diseases, but also about his professional qualities.

Dermatoglyphics. Start
The man who stood at the origins of dermatoglyphics (this is the name of the science of patterns on the skin) was Charles Darwin's cousin Francis Galton. He was a scientist with a truly unbridled craving for science and research. Kinship with Darwin determined Galton's scientific path, he was a passionate supporter of his brother's theory, and therefore sought to prove that evolution not only had not ended, but also needed to be corrected.

Galton is also recognized as the founder of eugenics, which gave its terrible fruits in the racial theory of Nazi Germany. Galton came to dermatoglyphics after, in early 1888, the scientific society "Royal Institute" ordered him a review of the then fashionable bertillonage, a method for identifying criminals, which was based on measurements of various parts of the body.

Galton looked at things broadly and among the methods of identification also mentioned "fingerprinting". On May 25 of the same year, the scientist read his report, in which he presented his vision of the problem. Four years later, Galton had already published a book on fingerprints - "Finger prints". So dermatoglyphics appeared in the scientific world. However, it must be said that this term itself appeared later, in 1926, at the 42nd Congress of the American Association of Anatomists. It translates as "skin engraving".

Arcs, loops, curls

Dermatoglyphics is a relatively young and rapidly developing discipline. According to Aleksey Vladimirovich Vlasov, Chairman of the Board of the International Dermatoglyphics Association, new personnel constantly come to dermatoglyphics. The study of people's prints helps to determine the character, temperament, type of behavioral adaptation of a person in society.

There are three main types of patterns in dermatoglyphics: loop, arc, and whorl. It is by their ratio on the fingers that scientists can draw certain conclusions about the bearer of these patterns.

About a third of people have loops on their fingers - patterns that resemble a lasso, directed, as a rule, towards the little finger. These people are the bearers of the norm in terms of socialization, they adapt well to life situations, are friendly, moderately secretive, and moderately frank.

People who have curls on their fingers are constantly trying to change the world, they can make a brilliant discovery. These are people with great potential, but often they are out of place in their time or environment, they may show inadequacy.

According to psychiatrist and psychophysiologist Nikolai Bogdanov, "it is the one who is considered a "moron" who most often has curls on the fingertips."

People with arcs prevailing on the fingers are purposeful, self-confident. They know that problems cannot be bypassed, they need to be addressed immediately. In problem solving methods, such people are not shy. They are practically not subject to stress. However, their weakness lies in their weak ability for psychological combinatorics and in their poor adaptation. They are more like slayers than jewelers.

It should also be said that the poorer the dermatoglyphics in a person, the more difficult it is for him to adapt in society, the more problems he will face.

Applied value

It is clear that any systematized knowledge requires applied application. Dermatoglyphics is doing well in this regard - it began with practice - Galton collaborated with forensic scientists and participated in compiling fingerprint files. Interestingly, Galton's technique was recognized only in 1911, when the Mona Lisa stolen from the museum was found using fingerprints.

Since that time, dermatoglyphics (its section of fingerprinting) has been a recognized discipline that helps to find the offender. Dermatoglyphics is today a recognized method of medical diagnostics. The fact is that the patterns on the fingers are formed even in the womb, at 3-5 months of pregnancy, along with the tissues of the nervous system. Skin patterns are individual and do not change throughout life, so dermatoglyphic analysis is a very convenient method.

According to the pattern on the fingers, even before obtaining a chromosome picture, a child can be diagnosed with Down syndrome, Shereshevsky-Turner and Klinefelter syndrome and other pathologies.

Finally, dermatoglyphic research is in full swing in that area of ​​human activity where genetic predisposition means a lot - in professional sports. The laboratory of sports anthropology of the All-Russian Institute of Physical Culture has been studying the dermatoglyphics of our Olympic team for 15 years.

Long-term analysis has already shown that the dermatoglyphic characteristics of athletes in different sports vary. In speed-strength sports, where it is required to complete the exercise as quickly as possible, simple patterns and the smallest ridge count (the number of ridges inside the pattern) are most often found.

Athletes whose sports are characterized by complex coordination have a more complex pattern of patterns. The middle position in these indicators is occupied by sports for endurance and static stability. In general, the more complex the sport in terms of coordination, the more complex the combination of patterns found in athletes. Speaking conditionally, people with arcs on their fingers are more suitable than others for attackers, and with curls - for defenders.

Ethnic dermatoglyphics

A separate branch of the science of finger patterns is ethnic dermatoglyphics. Anthropologists specializing in dermatoglyphics have collected a huge amount of material on this discipline. It is interesting that the poorest dermatoglyphic picture is observed in Europeans, as the distance from Europe to the south it becomes more complicated.

This may explain the extraversion of Western civilization and the introversion of the East. It has also been noted that such a pattern as curls on the fingers can most often be found among peoples living in an extreme situation: among the natives of the North - the Aleuts, Chukchi, natives of Tierra del Fuego, Australia, Tibet. It is easier for people with curls on their fingers to survive in difficult environmental conditions. Their culture is more contemplative.

The pads of the fingers contain many nerve endings that are directly connected to the brain. The brain analyzes the signals coming from them and determines what our fingers touch and feel. Palmists pay special attention to the papillary pattern on the fingertips, which plays an important role in determining the characteristic features of a person's personality.

In forensics, the papillary pattern on the fingertips acts as an object of personal identification, with the help of which crimes are revealed. This method is based on the uniqueness and immutability of the skin pattern of the fingertips, their ability to leave a "trace" on objects. It is actively used in fingerprint examination of a person.

The papillary pattern is formed in the womb and retains its pattern until the end of a person's life. Fingerprint examination revealed that even in identical twins, the pattern of skin patterns does not repeat. Only certain diseases, such as scleroderma, or mechanical effects on the skin of the fingertips, can modify the papillary pattern. Research into the papillary pattern began in the 17th century. At various times in the criminal world, attempts have been made to hide or change the pattern in order to destroy identification signs, through cutting off layers of skin from the pads of the fingers, burns and cuts. However, in most cases, the papillary pattern was restored over time, and in the case of the formation of scars and scars on the skin, they became individual signs of personality and determined the uniqueness of the handprints of a particular person.

There are three main types of papillary patterns on the fingertips, depending on from the drawing of their center are arcs, loops and curls, all other types are derived from them.

1. Arcs

The arc pattern (arches) characterizes their owners as people with a good and stable organization of the nervous system. They are truthful, stable and strive to always go towards their goal, sweeping aside all doubts along the way. These are people of action, they do not like long conversations and reflections, taking the “bull by the horns” is their motto in life. According to dermatoglyphic studies, the arch is one of the most common papillary patterns on the fingertips, in its pattern it resembles a wave or arch.

In the center of the arc, you can see an upward bend. The energy goes along the papillary lines, makes a bend in the middle of the drawing and exits without stopping, indicating a rapid consumption of incoming energy. The owners of such a pattern on the fingers are good-natured, practical and hardworking, they like to work with their hands.

hipped arches a

This pattern is derived from a simple arc. In the center of the arc are lines that, in their geometry, resemble a tent, which is why this arc got its name. The axis in the center of the arc slightly delays the incoming energy, forming a "splash" of energy. People with this pattern on their fingertips are characterized by quick reactions, explosive character and eccentricity. They love to attract attention, strive for new experiences and pleasures.

What psychological characteristics are endowed with the owner of the arc when this pattern is located on a particular finger?

Finger	Pattern characteristics
		Hip arc
Large	These people value time and always try to achieve the intended goal.	The arc adds stubbornness to the temper of a person. In practice, it is very rare.
Pointing	Principles are the basis of life for such a person.	A person is captured by some specific idea that inspires him to serious accomplishments.
Average	Calmly and rationally approaches the solution of life issues, counts on his own strength.	Strives for changes in his life, sometimes quite drastic, and gives himself completely to them.

Little finger	He does not need society, appreciates solitude, does not like it when others invade his space and try to cause changes in him.	He knows how to perfectly express his thoughts through the construction of a logical and emotionally colored speech.

2. Loops

The loop is the most common pattern on the fingertips of the inhabitants of Russia. In the loop, energy flows from the bottom up and then smoothly goes down. There are three types of loops: outward-oriented (toward the thumb) - radial loop, inward (towards the little finger) - ulnar or ulnar loop, double loop.

	A radial loop indicates that a person spends the incoming energy on self-improvement, a person is distinguished by great purposefulness.
	The elbow loop indicates that the output energy is directed to the shock or outer part of the palm, determining the main need of a person to realize it in society.
	A double loop is a derivative of a simple loop, consisting of two twisted loops. Energy flows both in the outer loop and in the opposite direction, in the inner loop, creating tension between the loops. Such a flow of energy gives a person inconstancy in thoughts and deeds.

The main psychological characteristics of the owner of the loops at the fingertips.

3. Curls

A curl is a complex papillary pattern, a sign that indicates the individuality of a person. A spiral where energy flows clockwise indicates an active and strong personality; counterclockwise - on the good intuitive abilities of a person and a possible interest in esoteric sciences.

Psychological features of a person with curls at the fingertips

Finger	Curl characteristics
Large	Indicates out-of-the-box thinking, which allows you to succeed in the future due to the originality of the idea. Behind the actions of the owner of such a pattern, despite their expressiveness, lies the mind of an excellent analyst.
Pointing	This is a leader with a very original view of things, thanks to the pressure, determination and faith in his own strength, he can inspire and lead other people, and this will be his individual path to success.
Average	He tries to realize himself in the professional sphere, he really needs the support and approval of others, this gives him the strength and impulse to move on, he is touchy and vulnerable.

Little finger	Able to convince others of the originality of his ideas, gives worthy evidence, his speech is smooth and expressive, he finds support from his interlocutors.

Additional patterns

There are patterns that combine several types of patterns, such as the peacock/feather and the tent bow with a loop inside.

	The center of such a pattern is formed from radial and elbow loops, which are combined into one curl in the form of a pattern on the feather of a peacock's tail. Energy goes to the center of the pattern, concentrates and goes out. Depending on which finger the pattern is located on, the talents and abilities of the owner of this pattern lie in such an area.
	This type of papillary pattern is an arc with a loop inside, where a small part of the energy is retained before its further release. Such people often set their own rules and want others to follow them, which sometimes leads to conflicts with people close to them. They value freedom very much and strive for independence in everything.

Counting the pattern in aggregate on the arm

When examining the papillary pattern on the fingers, it is imperative to determine which pattern is predominant on the hand. According to research in the field of dermatoglyphics, loop patterns are the most common 63% of the total, curlicues - about 31%, and arc patterns - about 6%.

papillary pattern	Hand dominance
arcs	Such people are distinguished by practicality, they honor traditions and rarely change their views, they hardly adapt to new conditions, they do not always quickly respond to changes in the world around them. They prefer to plan their lives and methodically solve problems, while a strong grip often helps them out and helps them achieve their goals.
loops	These people are distinguished by mobility and independence, they make excellent leaders who clearly set goals, adequately assess the internal processes in the company and the external conditions of its activities, and are able to find a common language with people in the team. In life, they set a goal for themselves and, overcoming obstacles, systematically move towards it.
curls	These are strong and extraordinary personalities who are prone to introspection and self-improvement. They, as a rule, have a very developed imagination, and if they successfully channel it into their professional activities, they can achieve great success.
Tent arches	The owners of such a papillary pattern are emotional and active people who love art and art objects. They know how to be the soul of the company, but the amplitude of their mood can often and quickly change. As a rule, they choose creative professions of an applied nature.
double loops	People with this predominant papillary pattern can consider any problem from several sides, in a dispute they will always listen to the opinion of the other side and only then draw conclusions. Often this approach drowns out the voice of their own intuition, and ultimately leads to indecision. They are always looking for the only right solution, remaining perfectionists at heart.

In practice, there are often situations when a person is equally good with both hands, or does not know which hand he has active / leading, and this causes difficulties when reading past and future events from hands. In this case, it is recommended to compare the papillary pattern on the fingertips of the two hands. The pattern on the active hand will always be more complex than on the passive. For example, a left-handed person from birth will have a curl on the Jupiter (index) finger of the left hand and a loop on the finger of the right hand as a simpler design pattern.

Of course, in fingerprinting and forensics, experts consider the structure of the papillary pattern in much more detail than is customary in the practice of palmists, but their research goals are different. Criminalists study not only the type, variety and direction of the lines of the pattern, but also the microrelief of the papillary pattern, the size, shape and width of the pattern, the location of the pores, the structure of the individual elements of the pattern at the micro level, and more. For palmists, the study of the papillary pattern at the fingertips provides additional and very important information about the psychological type of a person and his preferences in the professional field.

For many people, identifying their "talents" and "finding themselves" is not difficult, because they initially understand what they really like and the easiest thing to do. For example, our former compatriot, American writer Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982), in her book Atlas Shrugged, describes the feelings of a heroine with mathematical abilities:

“She experienced this at school in math classes. It was the only subject she really liked. Solving problems, she felt an extraordinary excitement, a bold sense of delight from the fact that she accepted the challenge and won without difficulty, and a passionate desire and determination to move on, to cope with another, much more difficult test. Although mathematics came to her very easily, she had a growing sense of respect for this exact, extremely rational science. She often thought, "It's good that people have come to this, and it's good that I'm good at it." Two feelings grew and grew stronger in her: sincere admiration for this queen of sciences and the joy of realizing her own abilities.

At the same time, there are a huge number of examples when an attempt to determine one's abilities and purpose turns into a long and painful process for a person. He may like a certain field of activity, but he does not know how to make sure that the choice is correct, and the circumstances are not yet formed, and the determination to change these circumstances is not enough.

Carefully study the papillary patterns on your fingertips, they can tell you a lot about your talents, abilities and inclinations. Explore your strengths and weaknesses, try to find the best for yourself, try to do more than is done!
