Scars in Your Hands: What Do They Mean?

Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, says, "A scar
results from the biologic process of wound repair in the
skin and other tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a
natural part of the healing process. With the exception of
very minor lesions, every wound (e.g. after accident,
disease, or surgery) results in some degree of scarring." A
scar is a healing. Ponder that for a moment.

Where do you have scars? The location is our first clue to
its potential meaning. Since I'm a hand analyst by trade,
we'll focus today on scars in your hands.

Here's a list of scar locations in your hands and their
possible meanings. Please re-interpret the meaning for
yourself by reflecting on how old you were when the injury
occurred, how you felt about your life at that time and
what issues you were struggling with then, if any. Please
note these "scars" can be cuts, scrapes, sprains,
discoloration, warts, calluses, etc.

Scar Locations In Your Hands:

* Back of the hand: Self-protection, self-defense,
confrontation, avoidance, anger

* Thumb: Thwarted goals, frustration, incompletion, BIG
desire for success and money

* Index/Pointer Finger (Jupiter): Power struggles,
victim/abuser cycles, too much/too little responsibility,
secret desire to lead, suppressed visionary capabilities

* Middle Finger (Saturn): Insecurity, doubt, fear, issues
around time, money and self-esteem, desire to learn about
business and be financially independent

* Ring Finger (Apollo): Reluctance to be visible or "on
stage," need for approval and acceptance, being "nice" to
win people over, fear of rejection, craving for artistic
expression and acknowledgment

* Pinky Finger (Mercury): Communication issues in
relationships and business transactions, not speaking up
for one's self, fear of speaking out, buried desire to be a
messenger (songwriter, actor, writer, speaker, TV/radio
broadcaster)

* Palm, at base of the thumb: lack of joy, family abuse?,
lost childhood, no time to play?, "is it time to learn to
be a kid again?"

* Palm, at wrist: Fear of the unconscious, "living on the
surface," confusion, muddy emotions, hunger for connection
to archetypes, the collective unconscious, fascination with
the work of Carl Jung, Freud, etc., desire to help the
ailing (hospice work), love of the water? love of sea
creatures?

* Palm, lower section, furthest from thumb: isolation,
alienation, disconnected from spiritual depth and meaning,
"where did she disappear to, she who howls at the moon?"

* Palm, center: Transition, career angst, anger about
career, what's next?, can indicate a job or residence change

* Palm, between thumb and index finger: rage, early
childhood violence (loss of parents, child abuse), lack of
courage, upset over injustices toward self and/or others

* Palm, below index finger: suppressing leadership
potential, fear of being seen in the front, are you willing
to be the valedictorian in your own life?

* Palm, below middle finger: money/contractual issues, work
issues around completing tasks, self-esteem and confidence
issues, is it in writing? do you name your price and
receive it?

* Palm, below ring finger: Is it time to be on stage? find
your art studio? are you getting applause regularly?

* Palm, below pinky finger: How's your intimacy quotient?
are you getting enough closeness and affection? are you a
healer and not using your healing gifts?

You can look on your scar as a bad memory or as a clue to
where your soul is wanting you to pay attention and
stretch, grow and expand. The choice, as always, is yours.
