The Knot Between The Phalanges

The existence of a more or less pronounced knot on the joint between the first and second phalanx modifies the above readings in accordance with the principles laid down in the preceding lessons. It must be remembered that this single knot corresponds to the first (or upper) knot on the fingers; it increases, therefore, the reasoning power of the second phalanx and reduces the intuitive quality of the first phalanx.
The Second Phalanx.
A. Size.
Very long—discusses everything to death; trusts nobody and nothing. Paradoxical to a degree.
Long—A good, strong reasoned; a correct logician.
Short—the reasoning power is weak, or is used by fits and starts.
Very short—Lacks the simplest common sense; hates to think before acting.
