PUT YOUR SIGNATURE FOR BETTER LUCK


| PUT YOUR SIGNATURE FOR BETTER LUCK |


Your signature represents the inner you. When you are about to sign, you will mentally visualize the name in a particular way whose impression is stored in your brain. Your fingers and hand movement then stimulates the nerves of the brain in such a way that the signature is stored in your sub conscious. This is the reason most of the people will never be willing to change their signature. Hence, good or bad strokes in your signature will put you into good or bad situations. First, let us analyze to know which qualities in the signature are good and which are bad. After that, we can understand how to put a signature in a better way to attract luck. 

Compare the signature with the body of the written script

Generally a signature is written below some text. So, the signature is inseparable from the written script. When compared to the text, if the signature is standing out and its letters are slightly bigger, then you have a high esteem of your self. You have a good confidence on your abilities. 

If the signature is smaller when compared to the body of the text, then you have inferiority or setting a low value for yourself. 


Placement of signature with respect to the body of written text 

Normally, the signature should be placed at the right hand side below the written text. If the signature is placed at the left side, then it shows the person wants to escape from the surroundings and troubles. If the signature is narrow and small, then the person is under severe depression. This type of signature is seen in the people who commit suicide. 

When the signature is at extreme right side of the page, then the person has no patience and of critical mind. 

Compare the surname and person’s name

Many people write their surname (family name) first and then their own name. If you write your surname with more stress and a bit larger than your personal name, then you give more importance to your social status and your family reputation. See the signature of Lata Mangeshkar, famous singer. The M in the family name is very big and dominating. She wants to keep high her family reputation. The sharp top edges of M represent that her mind can instantly understand and process the pieces of information very quickly. 

On the other hand, if you write your personal name wider and prominent, then you crave for good personal life and want to grow as an individual. 

If there is much gap between the surname and personal name, then there is no coherence between your social life and your personal life. This leads to setbacks in your earnings and relations. 

Vertical expansion in the signature

When the signature grows vertically (height-wise), it indicates that you strive for distinctive reputation. See the signature of Dev Anand, cine artist. All the letters are vertically expanded. The D represents that he is a good reader and the bottom looping of D represents that he is an artist. 




Lines below the signature

A single horizontal line below the signature represents that the person has achieved control and stability in his thoughts. See the long line below the signature of APJ AbdulKalam, former president of India. 




Dots at the end of the signature

A single dot placed at the end of the signature represents that you do not trust others easily and you love some fine art. Two dots below the signature represent that you are romantic and you give more importance to beauty. This is clearly shown in the signature of Amitabh Bachchan, cine artist. 




Signature slashing towards left

When the end stroke of the signature turns left and strikes back the name, the person will attack himself and becomes his own victim. In the signature of Michael Jackson, famous singer and dancer, we can observe the loop of L coming back and striking the M. The J looks like a knife. These factors represent death like situation where he may kill himself either by a knife or by taking poison. 

Circled signature

A circle or enclosed ring around the signature symbolizes protection against the anxiety and retreat. See the big loop of L encircling the word: Michael, in the signature of Michael Jackson. 

Line roofing the signature 
When a long line is written above the signature as a roof over it, it is an indication of creative, spiritual and intellectual ambitions of the person. 




Thread like signature 
If your signature looks like a thread connecting the letters, you are capable of reading others thoughts and can solve others problems. See the signature of Mahatma Gandhi, freedom fighter. The bottom loop of G terminating in anti-clock wise direction represents danger from weapons. 


Beginning letters in the signature 
If the beginning capital letter is small, the person has low confidence and doubts his own abilities. A person uses small capitals in the signature after he or she has undergone some injury or surgical operation. See the signature of Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer. The first letters S and J are both in lower case. 

Characteristics of a good signature
1)   Put the signature slightly slanting towards up by the end, it will give you good luck.
2)   There should not be too much gap between the surname (family name)  and the personal name. Then there will be balance between your social life and personal life.
3)   See the beginning letters in the surname and personal name are in capitals.
4)   While writing letters like f, j, g, y, etc. see the bottom loop of the letter will not stop at the bottom. The loop should go up and then terminate
5)   See the letters of the signature should not have broken pieces. Broken letters represent some physical or psychological disturbances coming into your life.     
Remember, if you write your signature without any blemishes, it will lead you to a very successful life
