St. Germain, the well-known French palmist, says: "The modern physician, be he allopath,
homeopath, or eclectic, has long ago admitted that the color, consistency, and heat of the
palm, as well as the form and thickness of the nail, are elements he cannot afford to neglect
when forming a diagnosis of any patient's state of health." Besides, nails throw a flood of light
on the temper possessed by a person. It goes without saying that a good temper is the most
important feature in a person s character. This may refer to four factors: anger, cheerfulness,
self-confidence and vindictiveness. While discussing nails, we shall see what has been leamt
about these characteristics from an examination of the nails.
Nails and Health. As far as the science of cheirognomy is concerned, the size of the nail
can be judged as extending from its beginning to the tip of the finger. Nails may be classified as
long, short, broad and narrow.
Long Nails. Long nails denote weak physical nature. People with long nails are likely to
suffer from chest and lung troubles, especially if the nails are thin, curved, or, worse still, fluted
or ribbed.
Long, -thick and curved nails are a sign of cruel nature and loose morals.
When this kind of nail is shorter, it is indicative of throat troubles, such as laryngitis, asthma
and bronchial troubles.
Long nails, white at the top, and bluish in colour indicate faulty circulation as a result of ill
health or nervous weakness. Such sign will appear on the hands of women when between the
ages of fourteen and twenty-one, forty-two and forty-seven.
Short Nails. Short nails indicate a tendency to heart disease. Short, thin and flat at the base
with little or no moons, they are infallible signs of weak action of the heart. Large moons, if
present, indicate good circulation. Short and triangular-shaped nails, besides being flat and thin,
denote a tendency to paralysis.
Short nails, flat and inclined to curve out at the edges, also foretell paralysis.
Nails with spots denote a highly-strung nervous tempera-irtent White spots are a sign of
general delicacy. Thin nails Of small size show lack of energy and ill health. If narrow and long
with curves, spinal trouble is imminent.
Nails to be perfect should be transparent, pink, polished, not brittle, and of normal length.
The possessor is a person of good spirits, refinement, healthy, natural tastes, and plenty of
tact.
When a deep furrow is found across the nail, it is a mark that a severe illness has impaired
the nervous system. The date and time of this illness and strain can be found as follows: if
found at the base, one month; if seen about the centre, four to five months; if on the edge or
outer edge, nine months. Fluted nails indicate a weakness of the nervous system.
Marks on the Nails. Black spots show grief, sorrow, and sadness. A starshaped white mark
shows a useless worship of things and people, unrequited love, or deception. A white mark on
the thumb nail shows attachment. A black spot denotes crime. A white spot on the nail of the
Jupiter finger shows gain, and a black spot denotes loss. A white spot on the nail of the middle
finger foretells a journey, and a black spot denotes impending ruin. A white spot on the nail of
the third finger indicates honour and wealth, but a black spot dishonour. A white spot on the nail
of the fourth finger indicates success in science and business ventures; but a black spot
indicates failure. If one has yellow marks on the nails, this is taken as a sign of premature death.
Disposition and Nails. Longnailed people are less critical and more impressionable than
those with short nails. They have a more equable temper, and a gentler disposition. They have
more resignation, idealism and a taste for literature, poetry, painting, and the fine arts.
They are inclined to be visionaries.
Short-nailed persons, on the other hand, are critical, and are apt to analyse everything they
come across. They are logical-minded, and rely on facts. Their brain is more active. They are
good debaters, and have a livelier sense of humour than those with long nails. Their temper is,
however, quick and sharp. When the nails are broader than they are long, they indicate a
quarrelsome nature, tending to meddle in other people's affairs.
If a person bites his nails habitually, he is of a nervous and worrying temperament.
Nails and Temper. Self-control and cheerfulness can be read from the mounts.
Anger as Indicated by Nails. Anger, flaring up from passion, is shown by the size and shape
of the nails. The wider and shorter the nails, the more anger is felt; the longer and larger the
nails, the less anger is felt.
The color of the nails denotes that anger which is derived from the nerves. The pinker the
nails, the more; the whiter, the less. This can be improved, if cured, as it is the result of bad
digestion or nerves.
A good colour indicates health.
